Automation for YOU?!
Ashfield District Council would like to invite you to an upcoming event on Automation on 17 May 2023 at The Summit Centre, Pavilion Road, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, NG17 7LL.
This event is brought to you by the partners involved in the development of the Automated Distribution & Manufacturing Centre (ADMC) and is the first of a series of tailored events being planned as the centre is developed.
This event has been carefully designed to help businesses like yours become aware of the opportunities available to implement cost effective, practical automation and digitalisation solutions. These solutions are also low risk and straightforward to adopt. As businesses look to make adaptions to meet high energy and cost of living challenges, having these options to explore is especially important.
In attendance will be 25 representatives from leading technology companies exhibiting some incredible solutions. There will also be guest speakers who will share their expertise as well as success stories, helping to de-mystify the old myths around technology being complicated and expensive to implement. The event will explore automation and digitisation that will help reduce energy consumption and the journey to ‘net zero’ whilst improving productivity and profitability.
Who should attend?
This event is particularly aimed at businesses who have yet to embrace the benefits of automation, or who want to build on their initial activities. It will present a breadth of cost effective, simple and low risk automation and digitisation solutions, as well as introducing some more advanced technologies.
To book a place, simply choose whether you wish to go to the morning or afternoon session and then book your place.
As there are limited places available, please book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to email us at: business.support@ashfield.gov.uk
