Demystifying digitalisation​

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is where objects are created by adding material layer by layer, in contrast to traditional manufacturing methods that focus on cutting or shaping materials.

Automation involves the use of technology to perform tasks traditionally done by humans, while robotics refers to the design, construction, and operation of robots to automate processes and tasks in various industries.

Data analysis and visualisation involves collecting, examining and presenting data to derive actionable information and business insights.

Digital project management is the practice of managing projects using computer applications and tools to plan, execute, and monitor tasks, resources, and timelines, facilitating collaboration and communication among team members. For many manufacturing businesses, digital project management might be the starting point in the digitalisation journey.

A digital twin is a computer model that shows live data about an intended or real product, system or process part so that you can see how it performs in real-time.

Immersive technologies can generally be categorised into virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR).

Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that enables computers to improve from experience, learning from historical and other ‘real-world’ data to analyse and make predictions.
