Visitor trails

Every year, Smart Manufacturing Week helps you meet the most relevant companies to your business.

What is a Visitor Trail?

A pathway for visitors to discover the enabling capabilities of Smart Manufacturing Week’s exhibitors and sponsors – a fresh approach to mapping exhibitor capabilities (and a lot easier than reading through all the listings in the show directory!).

These Visitor Trails cover the following areas:

• Digital Transformation (Exploring the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies such as IoT, AI, machine learning, and cloud computing)
• Innovation and Smart Technologies (Highlighting cutting-edge solutions, automation, robotics, and innovative manufacturing methods)
• Sustainability and Circular Economy (Emphasising green manufacturing, carbon reduction strategies, and sustainable practices)
• Supply Chain Resilience (Focus on mitigating risks, ensuring continuity, and improving agility in supply chains)
• Design & Engineering (Highlighting the design engineering solutions)
• Industrial Components & Maintenance (Exploring innovations in components, equipment reliability, and predictive maintenance to enhance operational efficiency.)
• Manufacturers of the Future Programme (Focusing on STEM activities for students)
• SME (For small and medium enterprises)
