The Human Impact of Industry 4.0 – Webinar

Nick Peters of The Manufacturer and Rob Hiron of Kronos look at what Industry 4.0 could mean to your workforce and how to make sure your people are as up to date as your operating systems.

This webinar comes in anticipation of a report created by Kronos and The Manufacturer, which will be published soon.

Manufacturers are typically intently focused on the technology element of Industry 4.0. However, in order to achieve the maximum benefit presented by this new paradigm, companies must also pay equal attention to their most valuable manufacturing asset – the workforce.

There are two fundamental challenges facing manufacturers as they embrace the opportunities presented by Industry 4.0:

  1. How to adapt their existing staff to the new working environments made possible by Industry 4.0
  2. Finding the right skilled staff in light of the UK’s current skills shortage

A study, carried out by The Manufacturer, and sponsored by Kronos, sought to determine how manufacturing workforces are adapting to Industry 4.0 and what best practice techniques are being adopted.

This webinar recaps the important findings of the yet to be published Human Impact of Industry 4.0 report and discuss initiatives that you can implement today to ensure a successful partnership of technology and people in your workplace.
