What is a citizen developer?

Citizen developers are not developers by trade but still make useful tools and applications with no-code tools. The concept is relatively new and has gained momentum in the last few years. Citizen Development has the potential to be of great benefit to the manufacturing industry by empowering ordinary staff to improve the processes they work with every day. Their unique perspectives can be transformative in identifying key areas to work on and improve.

What manufacturing SME's need to know about IIoT and cyber-security

IIoT can have benefits for manufacturing businesses of all types and sizes. It can be particularly useful in providing transparency and tracking along the supply chain but that’s just the start. To stay safe, it is vital you develop strong cyber security practices around IIoT. Here we offer some best practices and how to approach them.

UK Government supports AI approaches to manufacturing sustainability

The UK government released its AI strategy on 22nd September 2021. We’ve looked at the report and broken down how this will affect the manufacturing industry going forward. We outline some key areas such as skills shortages, addressing net-zero challenges, and new product development as well as the next steps manufacturers can take.

Steph Locke at Impact Festival 2021

Take a look at what happened at last week’s Impact Festival, where Steph took part in the EIT Manufacturing panel on The Future of Sustainable Manufacturing.

Digitalising your business processes to be more sustainable

Digitalising your business processes might help you run a more sustainable, environmentally friendly manufacturing operation. Simply digitising your records and reducing physical resource usage is an excellent place to begin. Taking it a step further and re-engineering the way you work to be smoother, more integrated, and less data entry dependent while digitalising can save you even more compute power (and therefore energy!).

Impact festival 2021

Impact festival is an event taking place in Frankfurt over 16 and 17 September. It aims to bring together thought-leaders and innovators working on sustainability to discuss and collaborate on potential problems. Our CEO, Steph Locke will be speaking there on the EIT manufacturing panel.

Cloud Migration: important for a green future

Cloud providers like Microsoft are making their data centres greener and carbon neutral, whereas your in-house servers and associated resources are burning energy. As well as potentially lowering your compute costs, revitalising your IT infrastructure, reducing risk, the green advantages make a cloud move a must for any manufacturer with sights on a net zero goal.

Design, manufacture, and ship products more sustainably with AI

AI can help manufacturers design, make, and ship products more sustainably. From lowering waste through defect detection, to generative design to reduce prototype waste, to smart energy management and predictive maintenance, manufacturers can use AI to make a big impact.

Summer roundup

After a busy summer we’re taking some time to reflect on everything that’s gone on. From award nominations to webinars and events we’ve compiled a brief list of some of the things we’ve been involved in this summer.
