We also welcome Stephen Fletcher from Theorem to highlight the advantages of utilising existing 3D CAD data in a VR environment. Showcasing the benefits of this for design reviews, product visualisation, work instructions and even documentation and training, this presentation will introduce you to the next step in engineering design.

Richard White from Hexagon MSC Software will join us to talk about the technical benefits and application of digital twinning, sharing how this can bring increased reliability, performance and productivity to manufacturing processes.

Roger Peacock from Velocity will be focusing on Robotic Process Automation (RPA), explaining how co-bots can help remove the tedious tasks from your people so they can focus on adding the value you need.
