#AutumnBudget2024 🗣 Our CEO, Steve Foxley, gave his reflections on what's been deemed 'a tough budget', recognising glimmers of hope for skills, engineering and research and development. "There were some important messages included in the budget that reaffirmed the Government's commitment to the National Wealth Fund, creation of an Industrial Strategy and the commitment to protect R&D. "There were some tough pills to swallow today, but it was outweighed by the positive news on investment. "The key for manufacturing is the drive to long-term growth and there can be no sustainable growth without solid finances. We need the right sort of growth, not just growth from consumer spending. "The right sort of growth is one that generates a high wage and high skills economy, which means creating a thriving and growing advanced manufacturing sector."

“We’re incredibly proud and excited to see external parties showing an interest in using Factory+,” says Alex Godbehere, senior technical fellow for smart factories at the AMRC. He comments on our smart factory capabilities being utilised after the Factory+ powered ACS infrastructure was recently installed at the iAero Centre, Somerset. Alex added: “Open sourcing the framework was a deliberate decision to foster collaboration and make it accessible to a wider audience. Seeing our research extend beyond the AMRC validates the quality of our work and reinforces our belief in the value of this approach. "It’s great to be fostering further connections in the manufacturing supply chain and creating new collaborations in the South West." This work is a result of a collaboration between the AMRC, Leonardo, Somerset Council and Heart of the South West LEP. ➡ Find out more on the digital work we do at the AMRC here: bit.ly/3YEL4vU
