For a Lancashire textile manufacturer like Carrington, the idea that we now find ourselves in the midst of a fourth industry revolution is hugely exciting. Especially as we can trace textile production at the site of our factory in Adlington all the way back to the 1760s and the birth of the first industrial revolution.
We are particularly interested in the adjoining concept of Industry 4.0, which is seeing manufacturers embrace digital automation, the Internet of Things and data analytics within manufacturing technologies.
