From the article:

"It is perhaps an understatement to suggest that 2018 has been marred by uncertainty - from the lingering unpredictability of Brexit to wider global geopolitical incidents - and 2019 looks to offer much of the same. Despite this, the pace of technological change in the UK has continued mostly unabated and British manufacturers have been tasked to grapple the short-term events whilst harnessing new technology to digitally transform."

These five trends are predicted to define intelligent manufacturing in 2019.
