Get ready for Net Zero Manufacturing 5.0 which will run faster and stronger than Manufacturing 4.0 ever did. Expect 100,000 manufacturing innovations to reduce energy consumption, reduce embodied carbon in manufacturers products, and drive sales by proving better environmental standards.  

These changes in manufacturing will happen much faster than government regulations, just like we saw in other sectors such as food safety, food labelling, animal welfare in farming and food traceability. Expect massive pressures up and down supply chains from larger manufacturers who will be required to report on the carbon emissions per product manufactured.

Patrick Dixon is a Futurist Keynote Speaker - Keynote on Future of Manufacturing 5.0.

What is the future of automation in a hyperconnected world of Industry 5.0?

How do we at the same time ensure agility, innovation and rapid responses to disruptive events?

Patrick Dixon is a Future of manufacturing keynote speaker.

But without a human touch, all we have done is hyper-automated a very rigid production system - creating major new manufacturing risks.

Future manufacturing is also about being agile, innovative, creative, dynamic, adjusting manufacturing strategy rapidly in response to changing market conditions, multiple supply chain disruption and other issues.
