The new centre aims to support and develop the region’s manufacturing businesses by helping them to adopt digital manufacturing technologies and strategies (part of the so-called “Industry 4.0”) in their operations.
Industry 4.0 encompasses the application of digital technologies into advanced manufacturing that will allow manufacturers to improve their processes by becoming more cost efficient, sustainable and agile with consequent improvements in productivity. This creates increased dependency on generating and managing multiple streams of data within these processes. The understanding and application of embedded metrology (the science of measurement) is essential for users to trust this data and be able to use it to make vital business decisions.
