How can manufacturing industry make the most of the robotics revolution? Until now, UK businesses have failed to capitalise on the opportunities presented by automation with industrial robots in the UK. Recent research by Boston Consulting Group identifies a significant gap between the ambitions of companies to implement robots and the actual implementation of systems. This session of Talking Industry explores the trends and implications of the fast-growing robotics and automation industry in the UK. An expert panel will deliver experience, expert opinions and information, at the time as there is a shortage of workers with competent skills to meet industry demand.
