How Made in Group Are 'Backing Britain In Any Climate'

By Made In Group
schedule22nd Dec 21

You will all be starkly aware that this time in history is unique; we have three issues to address, climate, pandemic and geopolitical uncertainty.

Digital transformation can give us an advantage in a world that is becoming increasingly less certain. We need to not only provide our sales and marketing teams with the tools to sell in post-covid work, but we also need to take away the excuses for not innovating or adopting productivity gains.

There is a better way of doing what we do. We now need to create momentum to shepherd as many manufacturers as possible towards the ‘innovation active segment of the industry. For too long, the UK has lagged behind the rest of the world in terms of technology. We must look towards digital transformation to give us an edge and mitigate against a range of threats. However, if we wait too long this also becomes a threat to our longevity.

The upcoming exhibition Backing Britain 3.0 aims to give members the tools to sell in a post-covid world with engaging 3D content, whilst helping them reduce their carbon footprint - as the world’s governments look to them to become net-zero by 2050. Each exhibitor will be able to showcase a piece of their equipment, or a section of their premesis, using Matterport's 3D walkaround technology (and optionally VR headsets).

The Made in Group team is currently going out to visit exhibiting members and create 'digital twins' of their factories, for use in the Backing Britain 3.0 expo (and beyond).

More than 100 of members are participating in the project which involves having their premises scanned with matterport 3D cameras. The goal is to create the UK's most extensive collection of virtual factory tours.

The digital twins will also enable manufacturing companies to remove geographic boundaries and explain how their factory works with spatial awareness. Digital twins are essential to any smart factory, complement existing industry 4 strategies and can be updated as the business invests and updates its facility.

Backing Britain 3.0 is officially taking place from April 26th-28th 2020, however, access to members stands and their "digital twin" will be available 365 days a year following this, providing a fantastic sales and company promotion opportunity for members of Made in Group.

Gold & Silver members of Made in Group can register for the Backing Britain hybrid exhibition as an exhibitor, or others can register as an attendee, by visiting the following link: https://g2made.uk/bb3expo
