We’re excited to announce that Kudos Solutions will be exhibiting for the first time at Smart Manufacturing Week 2025, taking place at the NEC Birmingham on 4–5 June. As the UK’s largest showcase of advanced manufacturing innovation, it’s a fitting place to demonstrate how we’re helping manufacturers take control of complexity—and move towards a more efficient, intelligent future.
With digital transformation, AI, and sustainability dominating the agenda, it’s clear the industry is evolving rapidly. But amidst all the talk of “what’s next,” we’re focused on “what works.” At this year’s event, we’ll be showcasing real-world planning and scheduling tools that are already delivering results on factory floors across the UK.
See Opcenter APS and EVO APS in Action
Planning is the heartbeat of every manufacturing operation—and when it’s not working, everything suffers. That’s why we’ll be demonstrating how Opcenter APS brings structure and agility to the most demanding production environments. As a Siemens Expert Partner, Kudos Solutions has been helping manufacturers implement and optimise Opcenter APS for years—transforming planning departments and delivering measurable ROI.
We’ll also be unveiling EVO APS, our next-generation AI-powered scheduling solution. EVO APS goes beyond rules and routines, using historical data to explore millions of possible scenarios in minutes. The result? Smarter, faster decisions that drive down waste, improve performance, and support your sustainability goals. It’s a powerful leap forward in planning—and a glimpse into the future of autonomous scheduling.
Building the Foundations for Smarter Manufacturing
Of course, intelligent scheduling doesn’t happen in isolation. That’s why we’ll also be sharing how Forever Foundry plays a supporting role—providing the connectivity and operational insights that make AI-enabled planning even more effective. By integrating planning data with the broader manufacturing ecosystem, Forever Foundry helps ensure every decision is backed by accurate, real-time information.
It’s a reflection of one of the key themes running through the Smart Manufacturing Week programme: that real innovation happens when people, systems, and data come together.
Be Part of the Conversation
Ahead of the event, we’ll be running a series of LinkedIn posts that explore key programme themes—such as resilience, automation, and digital leadership—and link them to real insights from our work in the manufacturing sector. From real-world scheduling challenges to future-focused innovations, we’ll be sharing perspectives to help you get more from your visit to Smart Manufacturing Week.
If you don’t already, make sure to follow us on LinkedIn to stay up to date. We’ll be posting regular updates, behind-the-scenes previews, and thought leadership throughout the run-up to the show—and we’d love for you to be part of that conversation.
So whether you’re looking for proven planning solutions, AI innovation, or just some straight-talking advice on what digital transformation really means in practice—come and see us at Smart Manufacturing Week. We’re looking forward to sharing ideas, listening to challenges, and helping you move forward with confidence.
