Ireland’s Industry 4.0 Strategy 2020-2025
CONFIRM was delighted to attend Ireland’s Industry 4.0 Strategy 2020-2025. With manufacturing being a huge driver of direct and indirect employment as well as GVA (Gross Value Add) it is important that their is a community of practice where everyone can learn and implement technology to best position them for Industry 4.0.
As the digital transformation of manufacturing occurs CONFIRM will continue to work collaboratively to pioneer research excellence to meet current and future manufacturing needs.
