Digital Economy: Digital manufacturing

The Economist Intelligence Unit
About this episode
This episode examines the potential, the challenges and the future of two dimensions of digital manufacturing. Firstly, the integration of digital functionality in manufacturing processes to monitor, manage and predict performance and link together participants on the value chain. And secondly, additive manufacturing or 3D printing, which is by necessity a blend of physical and digital systems. Host Pete Swabey is joined by Dr Low Hong Yee, director of the Digital Manufacturing and Design Centre at Singapore University of Technology and Design, and Klaus Mueller, chief operating officer for Asia at bearings manufacturer Schaeffler. Sponsored by DXC Technology.
