On its stand at MACH Sheffield's 

Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) is demonstrating how relatively low-cost digital technologies can be used to advance the performance of legacy equipment - in this case a Bridgport Milling machine and a 1956 Colchester Bantam lathe.

AMRC is on a mission to show how digital technologies can unlock game-changing value streams, by breaking down the barriers to adoption and demonstrating low-cost and low-risk solutions for even the smallest of businesses.

This year for MACH 2018 the AMRC has partnered with the Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA) to provide a unique showcase, demonstrating cost effective solutions for the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies into SME manufacturers.

The AMRC stands have been hosted by members of the AMRC’s Integrated Manufacturing Group (IMG), based at Factory 2050 and the Machining Group, based at the Factory of the Future and so far have seen heavy footfall and a great deal of interest in what the AMRC has to offer.
