Event Overview

Digital transformation of processes in the manufacturing sector is progressing on a global scale with a variety of intelligent processes being developed and implemented yet a lot of manufacturers still depend on legacy technology and processes, which impedes their ambition of increased productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness.

The vision for the factory of the future is the creation of value chain that runs from suppliers to end customers while developing a holistic environment of new design principles, innovation culture and digital technologies. The factories of the future will be customer-driven, not product-driven and these factories will be more predictive, more autonomous and more efficient. The factories of future will adopt a digitally informed production where adoption of disruptive technologies will leverage improved competitiveness and innovation. As the global industrial manufacturing landscape continues to undergo fundamental economic and social transformation, the new ways of industry with lower costs, reduced downtime and minimized waste will become the new normal.

Future Factories MENA 2021 Summit is a platform for industry professionals to discover the latest emerging technologies and the most innovative automation and manufacturing systems, a must-attend event for all Industrial manufacturing professionals that intend to boost their factory to the maximum level of competitiveness and innovation.

The summit will focus on disruptive technologies and ways to design Digital Factories, from additive manufacturing and IoT, Industrial data analytics to applications, cloud adoption and migration, digital platforms such as virtual and augmented reality. It also includes advanced man-machine interfaces, high-performance computing and simulation, robotization, energy efficiency and renewable energy in production, as well as zero-defects manufacturing, collaborative manufacturing, network factories and many more.
