Smart manufacturing demonstrator launched at the MTC
A technology demonstrator to show businesses how they can grow through the adoption of smart manufacturing has been launched at the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC).
The launch event brought together industry thought-leaders, academia and the MTC’s Smart Manufacturing Accelerator team, which delivers integrated manufacturing and supply chain improvements based on industrial digital technologies. Delegates saw the Factory in a Box demonstrator working on complex pipe-work manufacture and assembly for the thermal energy industry, but the principles are applicable to a wide range of manufacturing sectors.
The Smart Manufacturing Accelerator process helps companies design, develop and operate a remote Factory in a Box and provides tools to adopt advanced manufacturing technology in a traditional manufacturing facility.
The Factory in a Box demonstrator – which is part of the ￡60 million Innovate UK-funded Energy Research Accelerator (ERA) programme – was formally launched at the MTC in front of an audience of nearly 300 manufacturing leaders. Presentations demonstrated how their businesses could benefit from the adoption of a smarter, more digital approach. It demonstrates a number of industrial digital technologies in an autonomous, rapidly deployable, remote controlled, modular unit.
Dr Hannah Edmonds, technology specialist at the MTC said: “A Factory in a Box provides for a disruptive supply chain solution for manufacturing enabled by the latest digital technologies. It can provide a rapid route to market for manufacturing innovations, while quality, product variation and maintenance can be controlled remotely.”
She added, “Our Smart Manufacturing Accelerator team can assess manufacturing businesses and their supply chains to plan, design and implement innovative manufacturing solutions, either in the Factory in a Box scenario or a more traditional factory setting.”
Professor Martin Freer, director of the Energy Research Accelerator said that after several years of research and development, the MTC had delivered the manufacturing dimensions of the project to optimise a manufacturing supply chain.
“This is a great opportunity for British manufacturers to grow their businesses by using technology across the spectrum,” he said.
