You’ll most likely remember the major ‘WannaCry’ hack on the NHS in May 2017, when more than a third of trusts in England were disrupted, 200,000 computers locked out users and more than 19,000 patient appointments were cancelled. At the […]
Traditional manufacturing and industrial practices are becoming increasingly influenced by modern technology. The phenomenon has widely become known as the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0 – a new approach to production where technological advancements are helping to deliver results that were simply not possible just a few years ago. At the heart of Industry […]
Manufacturers often talk about a desire to take their production to the next level. But what exactly does the ‘next level’ look like? It would most likely involve making some measurable efficiency savings, without any sacrifice on quality – the sort of environment where wastage is minimal, parts are consistently made right first time and […]
