After a hectic couple of weeks, I'm finally getting around to sharing insights from our recent event, "Digitalisation and AI for Manufacturing," held at the impressive Irish Manufacturing Research facility. With a turnout of over 80 people from the Irish Contract Manufacturing sector, the event delved into the transformative realm of AI and its implications on manufacturing processes.

Attendees had the opportunity to explore the cutting-edge facilities at IMR, gaining firsthand exposure to the innovative technologies shaping the industry. A huge thanks goes out to our excellent speakers -
Jason Carey, Mark Flynn , Jim O'Hagan, and Eoin Carroll. Special recognition is also extended to Karin Jancykova, Mike Conroy from Data2Sustain, and the entire team at Irish Manufacturing Research for their support in ensuring the success of this gathering.
