An All-Day Look Inside Industry 4.0
at the MFG Forum
Manufacturers of all sizes must prepare for the
coming transformation of manufacturing, business
operations and tech talent. Whether you represent a
small, medium or large company, the 2018 MFG
Forum provides all C-suite executives the chance to
connect with fellow leaders, learn from industry
experts and build a strategy to help your business
lead the way on Industry 4.0.
“We’re going to be talking all day about the
significant change coming as a result of Industry 4.0,”
said Eichenberg. “This shift will have far-reaching
repercussions on Michigan’s automobile industry,
across the automotive-focused supply chain and
throughout the global manufacturing sector. If that
impacts you — and I think it impacts all of us —
you’ll want to be in the room to discover strategies
for success and learn the mindset all industry leaders
will need in the years to come.”
Get ready to lead your company through the
Fourth Industrial Revolution and register to attend
the MFG Forum on 5/9/18 in Novi to hear more on
“
Most every manufacturer I speak with has
a story of how technology is transforming
how they do business. It can be a change
in how they communicate with customers,
a way for machines along the supply
chain to communicate with each other
or new advances allowing companies
to access new markets and realize new
possibilities. Industry 4.0 is changing
what it means to be a manufacturer.
