AUTOMATION
A MANUFACTURING
REVOLUTION
The Artificial Intelligence revolution is set to shape the manufacturing landscape forever.
But what will this look like?
Artificial Intelligence
(AI) is already in
effect in the
industrial world.
From the design
process and
production floor to the supply chain
and administration, AI is destined to
change the way we manufacture
products and process materials
forever.
The effect of things like generative
design; Industry 4.0; human-robot
collaboration; and smart maintenance
are already being felt across the sector
– a process that is only going to
accelerate over coming years.
Reflecting this sea change, The Alan
Turing Institute and the University of
Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing
Research Centre (AMRC) have signed
an agreement to work together to
identify opportunities for artificial
intelligence (AI) adoption in
manufacturing, accelerate research
collaboration and boost skills
development.
The two organisations have signed a
Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) that will draw on their
considerable research and
development skills across
manufacturing, data science, machine
learning and AI. Researchers from the
Turing and the AMRC hope to identify,
and find solutions to, some of the
grand challenges facing the
manufacturing sector such as meeting
increasing demand and the response
to Covid-19.
The AMRC is a network of worldleading
research and innovation
