Prepare for launch: industry 4.0 in space

Data in space is propelling huge changes in the space sector. The new space race is seeing for the first time high involvement from the private sector, while challenges and opportunities abound as industry-wide we see the implementation of industry 4.0 technologies. Space Tech Expo USA will unravel what this means for the industry, identify where opportunities exist for companies delivering digital solutions, and provide an insight into what the years ahead hold – from virtual reality and rapid simulation, to robotics, automation, and smart manufacturing.

Industry 4.0 technologies are set to reach an annual growth rate of 23.1%. At Space Tech Expo you will gain insight into exactly how and where these technologies are shaping the future of the space and aerospace sectors; delve into the biggest growth areas – cyber-physical systems, for example, are forecast to achieve the highest CAGR of 26.7%.

Space Tech Expo 2018 generated more than 6,700 leads. In 2019, we anticipate 4,000 engineers, executives, decision makers, and manufacturers to attend, and 300 leading manufacturers and suppliers to exhibit.

Join us as an exhibitor: Space Tech Expo USA is a launchpad for getting your industry 4.0 technologies in front of the global space sector – 74% of attendees in 2018 were high-level influencers or the final decision makers in their companies.

Visit as an attendee: enhance your understanding of the challenges and opportunities of implementing industry 4.0 technologies into the space supply chain and onto the manufacturing floor, and network with thousands of professionals working in this space.
