Thursday, October 3rd, 2019, Mike Baker, Executive Director of the BWA, delivered an informative discussion on the state of Wood Industry 4.0 adoption and Innovation Networks at the sold-out event – Manufacturing Matters 2019.

Mike Baker, Executive Director of the Bluewater Wood Alliance discussing the state of Wood Industry 4.0 adoption and Innovation Networks.

Industry 4.0 is the link that has been accelerating manufacturers’ productivity, efficiency, and ability to tackle new markets crossing boarders, further advancing Canada’s exporting capabilities.  The importance of automation is ever-present as individuals and organizations battle for more time at work.  Leveraging the power of concepts like Industry 4.0 and being connected to Innovation Networks are proving to be catalysts of success for wood manufacturers and their supply chain. 

To find out more about Industry 4.0, make sure to attend the Bluewater Wood Alliance’s Live Stage event at the Wood Machinery and Supply (WMS) Show this November 1st at 1:00 pm. For more information on the WMS Show click here.
