DARREN HALFORD

In the dawn of Industry 4.0, the digital and physical
worlds are more closely linked than ever. Advancing
technology has already revolutionised manufacturing,
but the impact doesn’t stop there.
All over the world, companies are developing and taking
advantage of a myriad of smart and automated
technologies – and it’s not just those that you would
expect.

This is the eleventh issue of AUTOMATED, in which we
explore the global engineering and automation scene.

We look at how the UK is leading the way in smart
technology, as well as the countries that are emerging
players in the field.
We also look at how technological developments inside and
outside of factories have impacted globalisation and
revolutionised the modern manufacturing supply chain.

In this edition, we also include two exclusive interviews that
give an insight into international business. We chat to James
Selka, CEO of the UK based Manufacturing Technologies
Association on how it helps UK companies to
internationalise and Sam Carigliano, CEO of Australian start
up, SkyCiv about structural engineering in the cloud.
I hope you enjoy reading this edition.
