Episode: #24 - Robotics and Automation, Talking Industry LIVE
Description: Robotics and automated systems will
form a critical part of the future UK
manufacturing economy. As the ninth

world, the UK languishes as the 27th
largest adopter of robotics.

in our supply chains. Industry is facing the
tightest labour market we have seen in modern
times. These challenges could be addressed,
in part, by faster adoption of robotics and
automation. How can we accelerate this
adoption and develop a competitive UK
manufacturing sector?
