Reports from the SMMT International Automotive Summit in London! 💫 At the SMMT International Automotive Summit, Neil Davies, our Head of Business Development didn’t have a dull moment. One that stood out? An informative interview by BBC’s Justin Webb with Michael Leiters, McLaren Automotive Ltd’s #CEO. Neil returned with a clear understanding of the challenges and goals related to the current developments within the automotive sector in relation to the transition to green technologies. Many thoughts on what will be happening in this area in the future; especially regarding new #automotive technologies and related #qualityassurance. The message from Michael Leiters was clear that the U.K. is currently not ready for the transition to EV Making the U.K. more competitive would help to deliver a clear advantage to secure this transition - this can be supported by delivering a competitive advantage through reducing the cost of quality and delivering improved manufacturing processes. Such discussions are very much aligned to what we do at TheyeQ concerning TheEye System. Our AI-based system enables us to carry out real-time non-invasive inspections, helping lower costs associated with quality problems while increasing output effectiveness. We are all about assisting manufacturers such as McLaren and their supply chain to realise zero defects and thereby improving competitiveness Keep an eye out for further updates as we aim to stretch the limits of quality control and help to improve process effectiveness. #InternationalAutomotiveSummit #AutomotiveIndustry #McLaren #Innovation #QualityAssurance #DigitalTransformation #TheyeQ
