Manufacturing

The manufacturing sector in the UK faces huge challenges to compete in today's global environment.  Competition from abroad is increasing, most notably from China, India and parts of Asia where low labour costs allow competitors to undercut UK producers.  As a result, UK manufacturers have to rely on their traditional strengths of design, technology, innovation and service.

AIDC technology can play a major part in helping manufacturing companies improve processes and reduce costs.  AIDC can help companies protect intellectual property and keep track of drawings, blueprints and prototypes.  The security and supply of raw materials can also be controlled and monitored to bring obvious benefits.  High speed radio tag reading allows companies to track individual products.   And there are a range of different applications which help companies achieve improvements in inventory control.

The case studies below show how different AIDC technologies have been applied in the manufacturing sector to help producers improve their processes and contain their costs.
