18.09.2025 Digital Readiness for Manufacturers: ERP & Integration Essentials

Unlock the real value of digital tools in your manufacturing business.

Join fellow manufacturers from the CKMA network for a practical, high-impact session led by CKMA Sponsors Evolution Managed IT Services and Calder IT, focused on what SME manufacturers really need to know about IT systems today—from ERP selection to digital twin adoption, cybersecurity, and integrating old and new technologies.

Whether you’re considering your first MES system, upgrading your cloud ERP, or just trying to make your tech investments deliver ROI, this is the session for you.

We’ll explore:

• How ERP, digital twins, and industrial IoT are transforming factory floors
• Practical routes to integrating systems without ripping everything out: things to consider when choosing an ERP system; five steps to a successful ERP implementation; ERP and AI: taking it to the next level

• Why cybersecurity matters more now—and what Cyber Essentials means for you
• Upskilling your workforce to make the most of automation and AI
• What funding, grants, and programmes like Made Smarter are available now
• The UK’s modern industrial strategy and what it means for your IT roadmap

We’ll also be exploring the issues of Culture Change and working with your people to deliver successful change with Brook Corporate Developments.

Featuring real examples from manufacturers in the CKMA network, this session is designed to help you cut through the hype and make confident, cost-effective decisions about deploying technology.

If you’re serious about productivity, resilience, and smart growth, don’t miss this.

Open to CKMA members and interested local manufacturers.
