Welcome to the May edition of Manufacturing Digital, my final edition as editor. Though I’ m sad to say goodbye, I’ m also excited to share this issue, which explores everything from smart manufacturing and circularity to the evolution of industrial AI.

• This month’ s big manufacturing interview is with Markus Haupt of SEAT S. A, as we explore its work to electrify Spain’ s automotive sector.

• Discover Bosch’ s smart manufacturing strategy

• Hear from Epson execs on how Digital Textile Printing enables JIT, reshoring and more

• Explore ABB’ s industry-leading innovation with waste across three critical factories

Also, don’ t miss out on our ranking of the top ten automation leaders and our big picture on Rolls-Royce’ s bespoke range.

As always, thanks for reading and enjoy the issue.
