The digital factory will showcase how companies can use digital technologies to overcome roadblocks and inefficiencies, increase productivity, improve sustainability and push forward innovation within the manufacturing and engineering community.
The technical capabilities within our Digital Factory were designed in direct response to the needs of industry. They are intended to help manufacturing businesses from across the supply chain innovate and develop the next generation of products in an increasingly competitive and environmentally conscious world.
Data-driven manufacturing brings enormous opportunities for improvement. With everything connected and data extraction available across all stages of manufacture, we work with companies to enhance the efficiency of machinery on the shop floor along with back office and supply chain management.
Our additive manufacturing technologies allow the companies we work with to make lighter parts that would be impossible to produce by other means. It can be used for manufacturing parts, tooling, and prototypes, saving on materials, time and costs.
Used in combination with other technologies, our machining capabilities can help companies to cut production time and deliver enhanced efficiency and sustainability. Our capabilities in this area support productivity improvement, zero-defect manufacturing, and sustainable manufacturing.
From exploring new methods of manufacture, linking you with key academic and industrial partners, and developing your requirements into a concept model using a robust design process, we can help bring your product to life, while delivering unique expertise that will enhance your competitive edge.
Our dedicated and interactive demonstration space within the Digital Factory will showcase the state-of-the-art applications of robots, cobotics and, automation, providing insight into the technological innovation in artificial intelligence that has led to the integration of robots and cobots into existing manufacturing processes.
NMIS seeks to support circular approaches for the next generation of manufactured products, enabling companies to adopt technologies that provide greater value retention across the full product lifecycle. We are creating testbeds to prove the fundamental science around both recycling and the reintroduction of composite materials into product reliability.
