Modern Manufacturing Methods for construction in Infrastructure Deployment

This event explores how modern manufacturing methods are transforming the delivery of infrastructure and construction projects. Increasing pressure on cost, speed, quality, sustainability, and skills is driving a shift away from purely traditional construction approaches toward manufacturing-led models based on standardisation, modularity, and integrated supply chains.

Achieving reliable thickness measurement in a production environment

Target materials and production processes influence how product thickness is measured. Methods may involve setting roller gaps, adjusting extrusion dies, or monitoring poured and cured materials such as glass, rubber, or metal. Secondary processes can include layered or bonded materials like carbon fibre. Measurement challenges vary, from gaps and roller systems to free space or single-sided checks on transparent materials. This webinar from Micro-Epsilon UK will illustrate a range of measurement techniques for these challenges

Repair in our Communities

Repair offers a simple way to reduce waste in a circular economy. Yet many barriers remain, including items not designed for repair, the information required, the skills needed to diagnose and fix them, and the availability of parts. Over the last 15 years, Repair Cafes have sprung up around the world as a community initiative to help fill this gap. This talk will explain how Repair Cafes support our local community and what must improve to make it easier to get broken things fixed rather than ending up in waste streams.
