How can manufacturing principles be applied to agriculture?

A tour of MTC (The Manufacturing Technology Centre) followed by a discussion on how manufacturing principles can be applied to agriculture and horticulture.

The Manufacturing Technology Centre

Explore how manufacturing principles like efficiency, automation, and quality control could be employed to transform agriculture.

Join Agri-TechE in partnership with our member, The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), to get a first-hand look at cutting-edge manufacturing technologies and their potential applications in farming and horticulture.

Highlights include a tour of MTC's demonstration facilities and a collaborative workshop on bridging the gap between these two vital sectors.

Why Attend

  • See innovative technologies in action, including large-scale 3D printing, lasers, ‘factory-in-a-box’ solutions, and autonomous systems.
  • Consider how manufacturing principles such as intelligent automation and process optimisation could tackle agricultural challenges while maintaining quality and reducing operational costs.
  • Participate in a forward-thinking discussion on integrating manufacturing techniques into farming practices to enhance efficiency and quality.
  • Network with leading professionals from agriculture and manufacturing.
