This event will explore how photonics, the technology of light, can support manufacturing businesses in their digitalisation journey. Photonics is already widely used in material processing from laser job shops to the semiconductor industry, but it is also vital for Industry 4.0 through fibre optics, additive manufacturing, IIoT, 5G, and even quantum communication. This session will highlight the support available for manufacturers to adopt photonics technology and present case studies of photonics in manufacturing.
