Smart Manufacturing Week’s Post

🤖 Revolutionising UK Manufacturing: The Made Smarter Innovation Challenge Launched in 2020, the Made Smarter Innovation Challenge is a key player in the government's Industrial Strategy Fund (ISCF). Its mission was to propel the UK's manufacturing sector into the future by harnessing the power of industrial digital technologies (IDTs). 🏆 The goals were clear: • Sustainability Leadership: Boosting the industry's environmental footprint through increased resource reusability, reduced waste, and lower carbon emissions. • Economic Powerhouse: Driving a £2.3 billion rise in Gross Value Added (GVA), creating high-skilled jobs, and propelling a 30% productivity increase. • Manufacturing Redefined: Achieving a 4.5% decrease in carbon emissions and a 25% reduction in manufacturing waste, solidifying the UK's position as a global leader in sustainable, efficient manufacturing.  Investing in Innovation, Delivering Results Over the past four years, the Made Smarter Innovation Challenge has poured over £120 million in funding into more than 60 groundbreaking projects. This investment has spurred an additional £130 million+ from industry partners, fostering a collaborative ecosystem of innovation. ⭐ The Made Smarter Innovation Showcase at Smart Manufacturing & Engineering Week this year will be a testament to these achievements. It will feature: • Success Stories: Discover how the Challenge has empowered businesses to push the boundaries of manufacturing. • Industry Leaders: Meet and learn from some of our esteemed partners    Join us at the forefront of manufacturing and meet the industry disruptors. Visit the Made Smarter Innovation Showcase to witness how Innovate UK and its partners are revolutionising UK manufacturing. Together, we're shaping a future that's sustainable, productive, and globally competitive. >> Register to attend for FREE: https://lnkd.in/eESbEcC2 #MadeSmarter #UKMFG #UKManufacturing #SMEW24 #SmartFactoryExpo 

Embracing a shared responsibility for sustainable and circular manufacturing is not just a choice – it's an imperative to ensure the well-being of present and future generations. In our pursuit of this mission, we leverage Industry 4.0 technologies, such as: ⚙️ Digital twins ⚙️ Advanced analytics for water reduction and contaminated water cleaning optimization ⚙️ End-to-end CO2 tracking and reporting across entire value chains ⚙️ IIoT-enabled, real- time, sensor-based data aggregation for energy, emissions and waste. Check out this short article via Automation Alley in IndustryWeek for more – with concrete examples of Hewlitt-Packard (HP)’s success in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, waste and deforestation along its supply chain and product lines: https://lnkd.in/eeviCbw2 World Economic Forum | Cynthia Hutchison | Alison Trumble | Stephanie Wright | Shree Parikh #USManufacturing #Innovation #Manufacturers #AdvancedManufacturing #Sustainability

For a modern manufacturing facility, advanced technologies such as AI-driven automation and digital twins are essential for enhancing efficiency and minimizing costs. By integrating these cutting-edge concepts and sustainability goals into facility planning processes, @siemens is showing how manufacturers can also pave the way toward achieving environmental and decarbonization targets, ultimately creating smarter and more sustainable factories. https://lnkd.in/gtmT-QKk
