In the third edition of the DETI newsletter we're discussing the real world value of digital to UK businesses, with insights from Digital Catapult on 5G use cases and findings from UWE research teams on AR applications in manufacturing. CFMS also share an update on their work with KISPE Space, where the team is developing open source satellite structural design. Jonathan Butt, Deputy Chief Engineer at the NCC also explores Digital Twins, debunking the misconception that they are a one-size fits all transformation tool. We are also delighted to share a presentation from Dr James Gopsill introducing the University of Bristol Design Manufacturing Futures Lab and a timely update on the new University of Bath IAAPPS facility.
The digital twin might reduce development time, improve product quality, cut waste and ultimately, lower costs. However, Deputy Chief Engineer Jonathan Butt, NCC, challenges the Digital Twin as a single solution, one size fits all for manufacturers, and talks about the digital transformation process.
CFMS is helping KISPE Space to develop the Open Source Satellite (OSSAT) programme. Their vision is to use the same satellite structure on different missions, and to ensure it is compatible with different launch vehicles. Read about how CFMS is using automated design tools to improve satellite structures.
Immersive technology has transformed the digital experience by bringing together the virtual with users’ sight, sound, and even touch. Digital Catapult explores new opportunities for businesses to use VR, AR, haptics and more, to solve problems, seize new opportunities, and push innovation forward.
How can 5G truly bring value to an industrial business? That’s what Digital Catapult and Ericsson aimed to answer in the creation of the Industrial 5G Accelerator programme. The team explain what happened when the partners worked with two leaders in the manufacturing and logistics sectors.
UWE research teams are helping to deliver a proof-of-concept system that guides a user through a specific process using Augmented Reality. This represents a forward step in the use of state-of-the-art technology in manufacturing, that will provide contextually aware information to the user in real time.
Tune into a presentation with Dr James Gopsill to hear about how research taking place at the Design Manufacturing Futures Lab at the University of Bristol will change capability for the design, manufacture, operation and disposal of next generation products and machines.
Designed with collaboration at its heart, the new IAAPS R&I state-of-the-art facility which is weeks away from opening, will support the automotive industry to reach a sustainable future and explore new development tools.
If you didn't catch it last month, watch the video which demonstrates live production data and quality-critical measurements for remote manufacturing being shared across the DETI Quantum-secure network for digital engineering.
