Best of LinkedIn: Smart Manufacturing CW 37/ 38

We curate most relevant posts about Smart Manufacturing on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways. This edition offers an extensive overview of the EMO Hannover 2025 trade show, detailing numerous product showcases, partnerships, and industry trends, alongside broader discussions on the future of manufacturing and digital transformation. Key themes from the exhibition include the launch of a Siemens-led AI alliance for high-accuracy industrial applications and the full integration of Additive Manufacturing (AM) into advanced workflows. Beyond the trade show, multiple insights stress that successful factory transformation, including the adoption of AI, robotics, and automation, depends fundamentally on strong leadership, cultural change, process basics, and empowering the frontline workforce (Industry 5.0). Experts also highlight the strategic imperatives of digitalisation for sustainability, operational efficiency, and addressing the skilled labour shortage, urging companies to adopt sophisticated solutions like Digital Twins, Industrial Edge, and modern PLM/MES platforms to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
