To be truly competitive, businesses need the right tools to boost productivity, which means automating aspects of the production process allowing staff to be utilised where their skills add the most value.
Automation is new to many businesses and there is understandable caution when it comes to the investment required. The MTC is focused on supporting UK industry to overcome the challenges of adopting automation.
Utilising its breadth of knowledge and expertise, the MTC provides impartial advice and guidance on the most appropriate applications to automate, helping companies manufacture faster, at a consistently higher quality and for a lower cost.
