The Smart Manufacturing for Automotive Summit will take place in Detroit, MI on September 12, 2023.
The shift in demand from ICE to electric vehicles, partnered with the global drive towards greener manufacturing, is forcing automotive OEMs and tier 1 manufacturers to redesign their current industry 4.0 and smart technology strategies.
