With a need to increase production rates, meet tougher sustainability standards, achieve higher productivity per employee and show full provenance, the composites industry is facing increasing demands. The Composites UK conference will highlight to attendees how digitalisation and AI can be combined with skilled and experienced workers to encourage sustainable growth, manage supply chain issues, boost productivity and allow production process monitoring.

Composites UK is looking for speakers for this event and is currently accepting abstract submissions from interested presenters.

The event will be split into three sections – Composites UK are looking for case studies focusing on:

• General digital tools to help automate workflow and increase efficiency in the activities of the wider company (general tools such as Power BI, Chat GPT, automated lead generation software and more).
• Software already used in composites that are driving efficiency and accuracy (simulation software, Manufacturing Execution Systems, Enterprise Resource Planning and more).
• Specific tools developed for the composites market in areas such as:
  • Intelligent and flexible automation
  • Digital twins and simulation
  • Digitalised product development and virtual manufacturing
  • Embedded sensors and vision systems
  • Local / remote connectivity
  • IoT concepts and industrial applications
  • Remote maintenance
  • Data integrity and cyber security
  • Cloud development, data mining and analytics
  • AI techniques and implementation

Submit your abstract for the Composites UK conference of no more than 150 words by 13th September 2024 to events@compositesuk.co.uk.

For accepted submissions there will be a speaker fee of £55 +VAT which goes towards covering admin and catering costs.
