  • #33 - In Conversation With John Kraus

    Talking Industry’s Aaron Blutstein talks to John Kraus, Chief Executive for Engineers Without Borders UK, to find out a bit more about the origins, philosophy and the role the organisation is playing to help reimagine engineering practice so that engineers can respond effectively to the complexity and uncertainty of pressing global challenges such as climate change.

  • #32 - Manufacturing’s Net Zero Challenge -Part 3

    The net-zero challenge is of global importance and manufacturing industry’s role in decarbonisation cannot be overlooked. Manufacturing generates around 11% of total emissions, so as a collective we need to invest in and promote new technologies to change our course.


    How can the manufacturing community play its part in global decarbonisation and save money on energy consumption?

  • #29 - IIOT, Digitalisation & Industrial Communications - Part 3

    Digitalisation is a journey, so to start with, keep it simple, start small, then scale up. Focus on certain aspects: Smart Maintenance, Smart Product Development, Smart Inventory Management, Smart Supply Chain, etc. While the boundaries between IT and OT are blurring, there are two parts in an IIoT project: people with IT knowledge have difficulties with data acquisition from the field; people with an OT profile may struggle with cloud systems, value creation & distribution, which require some level of IT competence.

  • #26 Industrial Data& AI - Talking Industry LIVE

    Artificial intelligence and machine

    learning offer opportunities for
    increasing business performance,
    agility, and growth. Business leaders
    are determining how these techniques
    can integrate successfully with human
    intelligence and what they will deliver
    as they evolve. Despite this, there
    are questions regarding the ease of
    implementation, adoption, operation,
    and trust associated with these types
    of technologies. What is the current
    state of artificial intelligence in
    manufacturing, the challenges and
    barriers to adoption? What opportunities
    are offered for manufacturing, to the
    national net-zero goal?

  • #25 - OEE & Digital Manufacturing Talking Industry LIVE

    OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)

    is the gold standard for measuring
    manufacturing productivity. Simply
    put, it identifies the percentage of
    manufacturing time that is truly
    productive. But worryingly, most UK
    manufacturers are running below a
    score of 60% and almost half are scoring
    under 40%.

  • #24 - Robotics and Automation, Talking Industry LIVE

    Robotics and automated systems will

    form a critical part of the future UK
    manufacturing economy. As the ninth
    largest manufacturing economy in the
    world, the UK languishes as the 27th
    largest adopter of robotics.
    Brexit and COVID-19 have exposed weaknesses
    in our supply chains. Industry is facing the
    tightest labour market we have seen in modern
    times. These challenges could be addressed,
    in part, by faster adoption of robotics and
    automation. How can we accelerate this
    adoption and develop a competitive UK
    manufacturing sector?
