The EMA is delighted to announce a partnership with ASB Bank for the upcoming Manufacturers Workshop series, ‘The Impact of Industry 4.0 on Your Business’. ASB Bank is committed to improving productivity in New Zealand businesses, and its support underscores its dedication to helping manufacturers stay one step ahead in business with the use of technology and process improvements.
Ben Speedy, ASB’s General Manager of Commercial Banking, said: “We are excited to be working with the EMA to deliver the Manufacturers Workshop Series to Kiwi businesses across the country. Our research has found that investing in innovation now will unlock benefits and choice for New Zealand, with the potential to raise real GDP to $500 billion by 2045. At ASB, we have the financial tools and insights to empower our customers to make the right decisions for their business, ranging from our self-serve tools on ASB’s Business Hub website, to tailored guidance and advice. Through these workshops, we look forward to supporting business growth and accelerating the progress for all New Zealanders.”
The ASB Manufacturers Workshop series, ‘The Impact of Industry 4.0 on Your Business’ will demystify Industry 4.0, breaking it down to the nuts and bolts of what it means for your business in a practical sense.
The workshop is delivered by the EMA and the experienced team at LMAC, who work alongside many NZ manufacturers to make the most of Industry 4.0. “It is all about making smart choices about your business and manufacturing processes going forward – this is a good place to have these conversations and find out about the range of ways to achieve improvements,” says Jane Finlayson, Head of Advanced Manufacturing at the EMA.
Join other manufacturers, for an in-depth exploration of Industry 4.0 technology and its transformative potential for your business.
The ASB Manufacturers Workshop: The Impact of Industry 4.0 on Your Business is designed for decision-makers – operations managers, finance teams, business owners, and managers – who are ready to embrace digitisation and automation to build their business’s competitiveness. This is the first step to find out what others are already doing and how a range of different technologies is making their businesses more productive.
Key Highlights:
- Discover how other manufacturing businesses are harnessing more advanced technologies to boost productivity, streamline operations, and drive growth.
- See practical applications of Industry 4.0 such as ‘ERP’ and ‘MES’ systems along with ‘co-bots’, which paid for themselves in six months.
- Talk through why a clear roadmap for implementation is important.
- Discover where to go for the next steps to adopt some innovative solutions into your existing processes.
Featuring The Smart Factory Showcase with Kiwi Manufacturer Nautech Electronics, facilitated by experienced consultants from LMAC.
