Digital Manufacturing Workshop

One day inside Factory 2050 - your digital roadmap started.

⚲ AMRC Factory 2050, Sheffield

An exclusive executive workshop with TJ Digital Systems, CONTACT Software and the AMRC — review your digital readiness, start your roadmap and business case, and get a realistic view of industrial AI.

Free to attend · Limited to 10 manufacturers · By invitation

Registration closed — fully booked

Take one day out. Move your digital journey forward by months.

Most manufacturing leaders know where they want digitalisation and AI to take them. Far fewer get the time to step back, test their thinking against experts and peers, and turn intent into a plan. This workshop is that time — five focused hours, ten manufacturers, and the people who build and run these systems every day.

  • A VIP guided tour of the AMRC ‘Factory 2050’
  • Your digital readiness reviewed against an approach used across 60 countries
  • Your roadmap and business case — started, not just discussed
  • A realistic approach to industrial AI, debated with peers

Leave energised, equipped and ready for the next phase of your journey.
