The new Industry 4.0 Hub was launched on Friday 14th June.
The Hub has been created by a partnership between the Centre, Calderdale College and West Yorkshire Manufacturing Services (WYMS) and £650,000 has been secured to create a state-of-the-art unit which offers companies ‘hands-on’ experience with the latest industrial digital technologies. The Hub will offer a series of Workshops and Seminars to demonstrate how digital technologies can optimise production processes and open up new business opportunities:
- The Internet of Things (IoT)/Digital Marketing
- Automating processes and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Immersive Technologies, Virtual and Mixed Reality
- Live process data analytics with sensors to optimise production efficiencies
- Computer Aided Design (CAD)
- Digital Simulation
- Understanding Robotics
- Additive manufacturing/3D printing
Companies can engage with the Hub in a number of ways:
- Through the College’s and the Centre’s apprenticeship programmes that will equip students with the latest intelligence about the value digital technologies can bring to manufacturing operations;
- Through the new ‘i4.0 Champions programme’ – a short, fully funded course;
- Through specialist workshops – customised support to identify exactly how particular technologies could add value to your business.
- Through exclusive, dedicated, hands-on sessions here alongside technical experts to address your specific issues and discuss ideas.
- Through introductions to selected technology solutions with help to put projects together with potential funding sources.
