ADS is supporting our members to navigate the ever-evolving digital space by creating a collaborative ecosystem across all the sectors, and by helping members to exploit digital technologies.
The pathway to building our future industry is founded on the successful adoption of digital technologies and all parts of the supply chain will be affected. Every business needs to chart its own journey on the road to adopting digital technologies and this Digital Transformation pack from the Aerospace Growth Partnership is designed as a useful reference to helping the planning and implementation.
Industry 4.0, Digital Factory and Smart Manufacturing are hot topics in the manufacturing industry. The ADS Special Interest Group, Aerospace 4.0, exists to create a collaborative ecosystem across the UK Aerospace sector and to help you exploit digital technologies. Our goal is to improve our competitive advantage right across the UK Aerospace sector. The group surveyed ADS members about the reality of Industry 4.0 and what the benefits are.
