Factories are becoming more and more complex animals. They are now connected digital machines, sloughing off gigabytes of data - do we know what to do with it?

In this episode I talk to Festo Didactic's Director of Engineering Ted Rozier and hear how they are equipping colleges with custom built mini-factories, complete with all the equipment, courseware, training for trainers, cloud connectivity - the lot to enable students to experience a "real" factory environment before going into the workplace.

We didn't just talk about the factories, but also the funding models available to colleges to help them afford this.
