About this Event
This Made Smarter session—run by Cambridge Kinetics - is a practical, no-jargon workshop for manufacturers who want to modernise business systems and adopt AI the right way.
Across talks, demos, and a peer-led discussion, you’ll learn how to map where your data really lives (paper, SharePoint, ERP/MRP and beyond), remove duplication and “paper gaps”, and build the solid foundations that make AI useful—whether that’s anomaly detection, early-warning insights, or surfacing the right information to the right people at the right time.
Who should attend
- Managing Directors and Operations/Production leaders at manufacturing SMEs
- CI/Lean, Quality, and Supply Chain managers
- IT/Systems owners moving from spreadsheets & legacy tools to integrated platforms
You’ll leave with
- A clear picture of how to identify where your data lives and how to connect it end-to-end
- A repeatable process-mapping approach that ties data to business outcomes
- Practical examples of off-the-shelf instrumentation for the shop floor
- A roadmap of low-risk AI uses you can pilot in weeks, not months
