New facilities set to unlock digital potential of manufacturers
New facilities are available for manufacturers to help them adopt the digital technologies that will cut energy bills, boost productivity and improve competitiveness.
The AMRC Data Cloud has been established to offer manufacturers the latest front-line analytics technologies that help reduce the barrier to entry and are affordable and adaptable to the individual challenges they face.
"The AMRC helps manufacturers adopt robotics, sensors, 3D printing and augmented reality in their factories, and the AMRC Data Cloud will unlock new applications, including predictive maintenance, improve forecasting yield, energy consumption and much more," said Jon Stammers, theme lead for connectivity and AI at the AMRC.
WANdisco plc, the Sheffield and Silicon Valley-based live data company, and Sheffield University’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), built the AMRC Data Cloud with support from Databricks and Microsoft.
In parallel, a Data Science Academy will equip manufacturers with the knowledge to introduce data science techniques into their factories. The accredited six-week training course is being delivered by skills provider EyUp in partnership with the AMRC and Innovate UK.
