Don't miss the February 2023 issue of ISMR - you can read it on https://joom.ag/9r9d

You can read about the supply chain issue and, specifically, how Industry 4.0, digitalisation and sustainability have sparked a revolution in supply-chain management and the evolution of today’s supply-chain model (page 18).

We analyse global automotive market trends and forecasts for manufacturers, pointing to growth drivers and challenges (page 26). We also highlight the rise of robotic welding and chronicle the capabilities of cobot welding systems for manufacturers (page 48).

On page 34 we examine selected forecasts and manufacturing trends in France for 2023 and beyond, and preview the forthcoming Global Industrie exhibition in Lyon (page 38).  Stamping, laser cutting and the latest press brake developments also come under the spotlight in this issue.
