The manufacturing industry in North America is undergoing its fourth evolution into a high-technology, digitalized, and data-driven industry. This Industry 4.0 period began long before the COVID-19 pandemic affected global society but has been accelerated in response to many of the challenges associated with it. In this report, we examine and explore the current manufacturing industry in North America and the challenges and opportunities it faces as adoption of Industry 4.0 thinking, tools, standards, and processes becomes more widespread.

Smart Factory Workforce Conference
The Workforce of the Future
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8TH | 9:00AM - 3:00PM (ET)
SMART FACTORY INSTITUTE at the PIE CENTER
2215 Parker Street NE, Cleveland, TN 37311
The industry-changing impacts of Industry 4.0 advancements can only be fully realized when there are corresponding changes in the manufacturing workforce. These impacts are likely to be seen and experienced in terms of changes to the design of manufacturing work, the manufacturing worker experience, and critical worker knowledge, skill, ability, and competency requirements. The positive impacts of Industry 4.0 technologies on manufacturing will only be realized if the existing workforce can be reskilled and retained.
​
This year’s event will be held at the Smart Factory Institute inside the Partnerships in Industry & Education (PIE) Center.
