Digitisation – the future of steel fabrication

In this episode of Stirring the Pot, we talk with Watkins Steel Managing Director, Des Watkins.He has gone through a truly transformative process in his steel fabrication business – developing a four-step end-to-end digital process utilising 3D scanning, digital twins, augmented reality and automation.This change has allowed him to achieve real world outcomes that have redefined his business.Not surprisingly, we couldn’t resist inviting him to be on our podcast, but also to be a keynote speaker at our Future Forum 20/20 VISION conference next year! He’ll also be hosting an exclusive Industry 4.0 Innovation cluster workshop during this time too. Connect with DesLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/des-watkins-aaa60415/ Connect with Watkins Steel Website: https://www.watkinssteel.com.au/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/watkins-steel/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/watkinssteel/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/watkinssteel/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ0nDL736S66iCqwcvPY1tw/ Want to hear more from Des?
