With the arrival of digitalisation, big data and Industry 4.0, adopting smart-factory processes via sophisticated software can enable manufacturers to address some of the opportunities and threats, such as: • Developing robust and accessible training programmes that equip workers with the skills needed for Industry 4.0 roles can help bridge the skills gap • Upskilling and reskilling – encouraging workers to adapt to the changing job landscape can help them transition into new roles • Embracing a diverse workforce can help access a wider talent pool and different perspectives • Encouraging a culture of lifelong learning can help workers stay relevant and adaptable in a rapidly evolving job market • Human-machine collaboration: Industry 4.0 is not just about replacing human workers with machines; it is also about enhancing human-machine collaboration to create more efficient and innovative processes By addressing these challenges and implementing strategies to mitigate labour shortages, manufacturers can leverage the potential of Industry 4.0 while ensuring a skilled and capable workforce. Monitoring of market trends, proactive workforce planning and adaptability to changing circumstances can help manufacturers to address labour shortage challenges.

Wire and cable manufacturing often requires specialised skills and knowledge. As technology advances and manufacturing processes become more complex, there may be a need for more skilled workers with the necessary expertise to operate and maintain the machinery and equipment involved in the production process. This shortage can lead to a gap between the demand for skilled labour and the available workforce. In addition, as the current workforce ages there may be a need for more young workers to fill the vacant positions. This demographic shift can be worsened by a lack of interest among younger generations in pursuing careers in manufacturing.
