National Composites Centre’s Post

It’s exciting to see the National Composites Centre and High Value Manufacturing Catapult making such strong progress in digital engineering! The innovations being made in digital technology will bring us closer to a more connected, efficient, and data-driven way of working. As we continue pushing forward with Model-Based Enterprise (MBE), it’s clear that MBE will play a massive role in shaping the future of our industry. If you’re passionate about driving this change, let’s work together to accelerate the adoption of MBE. Take a look at the post below to see how it all fits together. 👇 #DigitalMBE #DigitalEngineering #ModelBasedEnterprise #UKInnovation #EngineeringExcellence

A mutual aspiration to generate engineering and artificial intelligence-driven solutions that deliver real-world, industrial developments has led to the formation of two new innovation centres by first-time partners The University of Huddersfield and TWI https://lnkd.in/eBd9WDFY

𝗖𝗔𝗠 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲-𝗨𝗽 𝗨𝗞: 𝗠𝗙𝗠 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆✔   Would you like to explore your service or product’s early deployment options? 🛣   Working with MFM’s governmental and road operator partners, we can support you in identifying paths to deployments, for example, working within the West Midlands regulatory sandbox or deploying technologies on the University of Warwick campus, a mini-city environment. 🏙   Our central objectives are the safe trialling of technology that engages stakeholders, users, and decision-makers. This in turn creates the evidence needed for the wider launch of your technology and to inform national standards and regulations within which these technologies can be scaled.🚗 🔹𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: We work with you to develop a deployment plan that involves all stakeholders, identifies your use case, configures the technology, and achieves high levels of operational safety. 🔹𝗦𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: A range of simulation platforms to address a range of questions, from scenario execution for safety assurance to immersive simulations and communications simulation.   Visit https://lnkd.in/ePySPKX8 to know more! 👀   Plug and Play UK ZenzicWMG, University of Warwick WMG Business Jonathan Smith   #CAMScaleUpUK #CAMTestbedUK #CAM #technology
