SUMMARY:Engineers & Manufacturers Assemble -Onsite tour of Parmley Graham Digitisation Discussion of Community Project
DESCRIPTION:Book Now \nEngineering Manufacturing Network in collaboration with Durham University Business  Teesside University School\, JAG Design and Parmley Graham are looking to engage with like-minded manufacturing companies across the Northeast. The project is to review and identify the barriers our sector face daily. Although the project has five areas in which research is being carried out\, two of the research areas will impact members of the Engineering Manufacturing Network. \n Understand the challenges faced by local manufacturers in upskilling their employees while embracing digital transformation and in attracting a future workforce to manufacturing. \n Assess the potential of a digital platform in changing the community’s perception towards manufacturing\, improving skills\, reducing the digital divide and improving youth engagement in manufacturing. \nWe propose to bring a group of like-minded manufacturers together from across the Northeast and discuss issues around the two topics. The first event will be hosted  at Parmley Graham\, Gateshead |Site 23rd November .At the event\, we can openly discuss the challenges faced by manufacturers and give examples of digital applications that have improved productivity and throughput. Interested parties will be informed of the date and time in November once confirmed. \nThis project will enable the companies involved to contribute to the direction of government investment for manufacturing in the next decade. We will also examine what skills our workforce will need as we embrace technology across the shop floor and beyond. \nIf you would like to be involved and set out the plan for manufacturing for the next decade\, please get in touch with kaye@emn.org.uk at the EMN and inform her of your interest or register via the eventbrite link below. \n  \n9.45 am arrive for 10 am start. \n10.00 am Welcome and introduction to morning by Parmley Graham \nIan Connor \n10.05 am Introduction to digitisation and IoT applications \nAbhishek Doshi \n10.40 am Introduction to Community co-created distributed manufacturing platform project \nProf Atanu Chaudhuri \n10.45 am Tour of IoT display room and Digital Twin Centre \n11: 20 am Discussion on Digitalisation and IoT adoption challenges and inputs to Community co-created distributed manufacturing platform project- Prof Atanu Chaudhuri and Dr. Usman Adeel \n12:00 IoT discussion with Parmley Graham\, Jag Design team and networking \n12.30 pm Close \nBook Now

SUMMARY:Engineers and Manufacturers Assemble – For a Christmas Social
DESCRIPTION:Book Now \nA gathering of current and prospective Engineering & Manufacturing Network Members! \nCome and join us for an informal gathering of the members\, meet the Team\, the Directors and Affiliates accompanied with drinks and nibbles. \nCelebrate our 2023 member promotional campaign – our on line advent calendar that celebrates one of our members each week day in December – highlighting their skills\, capabilities \, products and/or services. \nHelp us launch our “Refer a new member” programme to strengthen the Network and further increase EMNs reach and benefits for its members. \nAgenda \n5.30pm Arrive – mingle \n6.30pm Welcome from Engineering & Manufacturing Network \n6.45pm More chat\, mingling and Gin Tasting \n8.30pm Official close – feel free to stick around if you like and sample more gin. \nPeer to peer activity is proven to: \n• Improve understanding – when you explain a concept to someone else\, you have to think about it more deeply and in a different way. This can help you to better understand the concept yourself – the power of thinking out loud! \n• Increase motivation – you are often more motivated to learn when you are working with others and creating a sense of camaraderie. \nNB: This event is open to members and non members of the Engineering and Manufacturing Network but preference will be given to members when the event is full. \nIf you make\, manufacture or engineer products (not software) please choose the Engineering and Manufacturing Company ticket \nIf you deliver or sell services into Engineering and Manufacturing\, please choose the Service Company ticket option. \nPlease – only one ticket per person and if you are unable to come as the event approaches – please let us know so we can release your ticket to others. Thanks \nBook Now
