Manufacture, transport and material handling are about to experience a change towards electronic control and dependence on digital data as profound as that experienced by print, screen, information technology and finance over the last few decades.
The companies who will survive this change are those who keep their staff and processes within sight of the leading edge.
Data, and the meaningful use of these data, are key to the success of the future factory, construction site or people-centred process.
Machine learning, the interaction between user and machine or system, and the involvement of the end user in the design of the final product or service will bring profound changes to the way we work
Computing pioneers Charles Babbage, Alan Turin and Ada Lovelace lived in what was once the world’s leading industrial power. Industrial development in computer-driven industrial processes now takes place around the world, but the UK and its close European neighbours benefit from easy access to the legacy of stored knowledge in their universities, museums and research centres. London is one of the Data Capitals of the World, not because it collects or holds the most data, but because it is more willing to share those data. The city is ideally placed as a source of advice and information on how best to move your company forward.
No one person has all the answers – it needs a collaboration of ideas and experience. Nick Grace has worked with designers, manufacturers, and skilled industrial craft practitioners for over 30 years and is ideally placed to help you put together the right team of experienced professionals, researchers and industry specialists. Based in London’s Tech City, with its wealth of data and finance experts, and with connections to Digital Manufacturing specialists and CAD experts, appropriate, up-to-date advice will help ensure you are confident in making decisions for the future.
