New Initiative Targets Industry 4.0 Awareness

Working to extend Michigan’s national leadership in advanced manufacturing, the Michigan Strategic Fund approved a statewide effort to ensure 50% – or 6,200 businesses – of Michigan manufacturers are prepared to adopt Industry 4.0 technologies at some level by 2025. The initiative includes efforts to drive awareness on the importance of Industry 4.0 readiness and technical support to help small- to medium-sized manufacturers adopt Industry 4.0 technologies.

Approximately 42% of Michigan’s current labor force could be negatively impacted by automation. There is a strong need for a multipronged effort to ensure small to medium-sized manufacturers adopt Industry 4.0 technologies to sustain and grow the future of Michigan manufacturing.

STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP ENCOURAGES ADOPTION OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES

As part of the proposed grant agreement, the Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center (The Center) is partnering with Automation Alley and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) to advance adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies by Michigan manufacturers through development in areas including an in-depth assessment to demonstrate opportunities for business improvement and increased efficiency, including a unique and personalized plan for technology implementation within each facility, technology roadshows to present each of the Industry 4.0 technologies through interactive experiences and course trainings including a general overview and in-depth review of key technologies.
