Organised by:

We are particularly delighted to welcome attendees to this year’s Advanced Engineering UK show at the NEC in Birmingham. Now in its seventh year, this event has grown from a powerful aero engineering showcase to the UK’s largest single annual event for the country’s increasingly important advanced engineering community, combining multiple related high synergy event streams from the key sectors in UK industry today. Whether OEMs, tier 1 suppliers or businesses further down the supply chain, UK advanced engineering is a thriving and exciting place to be, representing, as it does, the innovation and enterprise of which we are all proud. And now, the event itself has taken a big step into the future. As part of Easyfairs’ portfolio of trade shows, Advanced Engineering UK is well placed to face the future with confidence. Easyfairs is immensely proud to have acquired custodianship of this iconic brand with the dedicated team who have been delivering and growing the show since inception. As in previous years, the 2015 event will reflect the best in UK engineering with a network of synergetic opportunities as businesses from a range of sectors not only showcase the capabilities they can offer in their own sector but also identify, evaluate and take steps towards opportunities to leverage their skills and capabilities across other engineering and manufacturing streams. The established Aero Engineering, Automotive Engineering and Composites Engineering Shows will be further strengthened by the recently launched Performance Metals Engineering stream as well as the crucially important AEUK Open Conference programme, the UK’s largest and most diverse free to attend industry education & intelligence programme of its

kind. Adding to the 2015 proposition, the Enabling Innovation programme stream provides a showcase and networking opportunity to all sides of the innovation cycle – from innovators seeking assistance, stakeholder organisations facilitating growth, to wider industry harnessing untapped new and disruptive technology and processes. Attendees will find more than 700 UK, European and international specialist exhibitors on this year’s combined show floors, offering the chance to discover the very latest technologies, potential partners and innovations in their direct sectors, but with the additional opportunity to survey the broader adjacent advanced engineering and technology landscape, for new ‘technology transfer’ ideas, sourcing opportunities, and the widest perspective. A full A-Z listing of all exhibitors can be found from page 101 onwards. Use the online ‘search by keyword’ facility on our group website www.advancedengineeringuk. com to locate specific key technology, products and capabilities around the various exhibitors on the show floor. Attendees will be able to gain insights to the latest ideas and developments from more than 175 expert speakers presenting at this year’s Advanced Engineering UK Open Conference programme. Hosted over six auditoriums across the show, the programme provides a valuable opportunity to learn about the latest innovations, technologies, and process and supply methodologies supporting each show sector. Most important, everything is brought together under one roof over two days when attendees can establish contacts, discover technology transfer opportunities and better understand the latest developments in the sector where they make the difference.

32 | EEF

A forward looking organisation for a forward looking sector We meet Terry Scuoler for an informed understanding of the state of health in advanced engineering and manufacturing today John Hancock

It’s become a bit of a tradition at Advanced Engineering UK that we test the pulse of the sector by asking those most involved in advanced engineering and manufacturing. In this, we are always pleased to get the input and support of the most influential and important organisations which is why, for the third year running, we met Terry Scuoler, Chief Executive Officer of EEF and chair of the Council of European Employers of the Metal, Engineering and Technology-based Industries (CEEMET), which represents 200,000 businesses and 35 million employees across Europe. That makes him a busy man so we were pleased that he made time to talk to Advanced Engineering UK 2015 Show Guide and impart some insights for visitors to the show.

Straight to the point We know Mr Scuoler well by now and his considerable politeness did not desert him. Nevertheless, we got straight to the point by asking about UK manufacturing and, in particular how, after getting off to such a promising post-recession start, UK manufacturing now seems to be facing new headwinds. We wondered what perspective Terry and EEF could offer on this. He explained that EEF’s chief economist had summed this matter up neatly when she recently said that manufacturers are facing a rollercoaster of risks from the rest of the world. He added; “Findings from our 2015 Q3 Manufacturing Outlook back this up. They show clearly that global economic uncertainty is taking its toll on UK manufacturing. Events in China, Greece, uncertainty in Europe and, of course, the ongoing weakness in the oil and gas industry, are weighing down on UK manufacturing and the bright spots provided by domestic consumer demand and construction activity are not enough to hold the shadow of these global factors at bay. I am concerned to see that all our major survey indicators are down on the previous quarter and the balances on output and orders have turned negative with output falling to its lowest level since Q4 2009.”

low in response to continued problems in Europe over the summer and the slowdown in emerging markets. All of these factors, Terry added, have combined to bring forward looking indicators back to earth with a bump. However, his tone became noticably more upbeat note with the observation that, “Thankfully manufacturers’ investment and recruitment intentions are both hanging onto positive ground and, importantly, confidence has dipped rather than nose-dived. This suggests that if in the near-term the global factors causing this drag let up then UK manufacturing should very swiftly get back into its previous stride.” But reverting to his earlier cautionary tone, he added, “As many will be aware however, as a result of these findings, the current economic outlook and recent weaknesses in official data, we have halved our manufacturing growth forecast from 1.5% to 0.7% - down from 1.7% at the beginning of the year – and have adjusted our GDP forecast from 2.6% to 2.5%. And while there is hope that these situations could ease in the near future, there is also a bit of a wake-up call here for the new Government. I would say that it is now clearer than ever that industry and Government must continue to work closely together to help offset risks and support investment and innovation.”

Government Spending Review

He could not have been clearer but, we then wondered, what impact has all this had on EEF’s submission to the Government’s Spending Review? Again, Terry’s response was unequivocal. “The current headwinds have served to emphasise the need for Government to not only balance the country’s books, i.e. the fiscal deficit, but to also ensure that it focuses spending on promoting future economic growth.” This, he continued, means that the Government has to get the balance right between fiscal rectitude and prioritising and protecting investment in innovation, export promotion, skills, and infrastructure in order to support businesses’ own investments and build the foundations of future sustainable prosperity. The Government, No room for complacency He continued, explaining how UK manufacturers in EEF’s view, has a willing partner in industry are contending with falling demand both at home and should ensure it uses this partnership to and abroad and that export orders in particular maximum effect in order to deliver an industrial have suffered, edging down again to hit a six year approach or strategy that works.

www.eef.org.uk 2015 | SHOWGUIDE

“I would say that, as a priority, the Spending Review’s outcomes must shore up firms’ confidence to invest and hire, and must not add to the costs and challenges of doing business globally.” was how Terry put it. “Manufacturers hope that clear prioritisation of public spending, together with the forthcoming road map on business taxation, will provide certainty for businesses seeking to invest and grow in the UK over the medium-term. Spending cuts that undermine investment confidence, damage competitiveness or reduce certainty would be at odds with the Government’s productivity ambitions.” And, in a reminder that no government can afford to rest on its laurels, “The last five years have witnessed the development of a strong consensus and partnership between Government and business. Let us not see it weakened or destroyed now.”

What lies ahead? We next wondered what other challenges are there ahead for the sector. Again the response was clear; “Earlier this year, to coincide with our annual, national manufacturing conference,” Terry explained, “we published new research looking at the future of British manufacturing. Our research found that Britain is on the cusp of a global, technologydriven, fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) that is set to become a business reality by 2025. However, the UK’s ability to be a frontrunner hangs in the balance. Essentially, there is a huge challenge ahead to ensure that, in the global battle for dominance, innovative firms can take the lead and help position Britain as the manufacturing and technology hub of Europe.” Having spelt out the challenge, Terry again balanced it with the positive aspect of all this; “But alongside the challenge lies a wealth of opportunity. Seven in ten manufacturers say Industry 4.0 will play to Britain’s strength as a high value manufacturer, pointing to benefits such as the ability to produce more bespoke products and for more rapid and cheaper prototyping. It will also increase the importance and value of manufacturing within the UK and result in increased demand for highly skilled workers.” Building further on the positivity, Terry added, “The trend for reshoring could also see a boost,

EEF | 33

with half of manufacturers saying that Industry 4.0 will enable more production to be brought back to the UK. Perhaps unsurprisingly then, t h e r e i s o ve r whe lming s upport from manufacturers for Government, industry and academia to work together to secure the UK’s position. This is why, going back to the Spending Review, we are so keen to ensure the Government does not focus on delivering cuts at the expense of delivering future economic growth. We firmly believe that with laser-like targeting, both objectives can be achieved.”

Ensuring the skills that industry will need Our next question spoke to a recurring issue when we asked, if getting the right quantity and quality of skilled workers in industry served by EEF seems to be a perennial challenge – what is EEF doing about it. “On a practical level,” Terry replied, “we are working with employers to help them attract, recruit and train apprentices. Our £3 million, state-of-the-art Technology Training Centre in Aston – home to around 500 apprentices - has been opened for around 18 months and we are now investing more money into expanding it further. Its opening was hailed as a key step in securing the future of British manufacturing,

with industry needing to attract talented, skilled employees and training playing a crucial role in their development. “Our centre runs over 50 different technical training courses and trains apprentices in a wide range of vital skills. The centre works in partnership with over 70 employers, ensuring that their apprentices and other trainees learn how to use the cutting-edge technology and techniques used in manufacturing both today and in the future. Practical solutions aside, our work in educating and informing Government skills policy, building partnerships and collaborations that help boost the skills agenda and, of course, promoting manufacturing as a great sector in which to enjoy an interesting, varied and wellpaid career, continues at a pace.”

to share ideas, knowledge and vision. It encourages best practice and the sharing of new ideas and technologies – vital if our sector is going to capitalise on and fully harness future opportunities from the advent of Industry 4.0.” As well as at Advanced Engineering UK, it sounded to us as if the sector will have a lot to discuss at EEF’s next national conference too. Terry agreed; “Absolutely. Our sector never stands still. It is innovative, vibrant and, yes, often challenging. Our national conference helps us to fulfil an important part of our role in showcasing our sector. We use it to bring together ideas, challenges and opportunities and to encourage our full spectrum of stakeholders to engage, debate and provide much-needed support.” Our time was up but Terry had managed to pack a lot of information into some pretty EEF and Advanced comprehensive answers to our questions asked Engineering UK 2015 We’re always pleased with the support that on behalf of visitors to Advanced Engineering UK we receive from Terry and EEF and, as always, 2015. We thanked him heartily for those answers we were interested to know why they have decided and the time he had put aside to impart them. EEF’s next National Manufacturing Conference to work with Advanced Engineering UK 2015. “Advanced Engineering UK,” Terry confirmed, is being held in London on 24th February, “highlights the UK’s potential as a global 2016.

ROYAL ACADEMY OF ENGINEERING (RAE) | 35

Readers of this publication will be well aware that most of the world that people enjoy was brought to them by engineers and engineering. The Royal Academy of Engineering works to ensure that the UK’s government and the public are fully aware of the huge part played by engineering in designing, delivering and sustaining our society and of the brilliant career opportunities available to young people. With that in mind, we met Philip Greenish CBE, Chief Executive of the Academy again this year to tell us about the Academy, what it does, how it is contributing to the engineering sector and how it is representing engineering in the wider economy. Starting with the broader issue of the sector’s place in the UK’s economy, we asked how the Academy defines more balanced growth and how would they like to see that achieved? ”The answer to this,” Mr Greenish told us, “is an economy based much more on high value engineering and technology-based exports. Success requires constant innovation and we need to make better use of the UK’s brilliant strength in research to deliver innovative, commercially valuable products and services that meet human needs. Engineering and engineers are central to this.

The Royal Academy and innovation “Making the UK the leading nation for engineering innovation is the first of the Academy’s key strategic challenges for the next five years. We are doing a number of things to achieve this. We invest in high quality research alongside partners in industry to create a body of research that is of strategic importance to the engineering sector. We have created what we call our Enterprise Hub as a way of identifying and supporting the most promising technology start-ups. “The Academy also deploys its Fellows and networks to bring a strong engineering influence to bear on national, regional and local industrial policy.”

Graduate engineers and technicians are in high demand across all sectors of the economy; skills shortages threaten growth in productive industry and in the renewal of ageing infrastructure. By 2022 the shortfall in the UK of advanced technicians and professional engineers will be at least 550,000.

The Royal Academy and skills Moving to the next key focus area, Mr Greenish explained, “graduate engineers and technicians are in high demand across all sectors of the economy; skills shortages threaten growth in productive industry and in the renewal of ageing infrastructure. By 2022 the shortfall in the UK of advanced technicians and professional engineers will be at least 550,000. Almost half of engineering companies say that, right now, a shortage of skilled people is causing significant impact on their productivity and growth. The requirement is clear: engineering makes a £278 billion contribution to the UK economy (at least 20% of GVA) and has the potential to grow much further. Sectors with a higher

concentration of graduate engineers all report higher than average levels of innovation activity and innovation-related income, as well as levels of productivity well above the national average. Engineers and technicians of all levels can be found at the heart of almost any new product development initiative across most sectors of the economy.” Given that there is a new government in office since we last spoke with Mr Greenish, what, we wondered next, are the main steps that the government can take to support UK Engineering? The answers were again about those two key matters of innovation and skills.

Government support for innovation “Government has a pivotal role to play in stimulating innovation.” he said, “Government support is often essential to encourage companies to engage in innovation. But it is an inherently risky process and outcomes can be uncertain, timescales long and the innovator often accrues only a small proportion of the overall benefits. So we need an environment conducive for innovation; this includes a stable policy base, using procurement intelligently and providing targeted support to encourage private investment. “There is much evidence of the world-class status of UK engineering research. 70% of research outputs submitted for assessment last year were classified as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’. The Academy has called for an R&D investment level of at least 2.8% – of which one third should be government supported – to bring it into line with other leading knowledge economies, accompanied by strong and well-targeted support for innovation. “The Catapult Centres are a good example of the long timeframes required for strategic activities and structures to mature. The High Value Manufacturing Catapult, now a mature organisation, generates a wealth of outputs, networks and value and achieves £15 of net benefits from each £1 of core public funding. This must not be risked.

Government support for skills Looking at the issue of skills Mr Greenish explained, “the Academy welcomes the government’s target of three million new apprenticeships over the course of this parliament but the focus must be on those at advanced level and of high-quality that meet the needs of industry. We are deeply concerned that the Further Education sector is not equipped to meet the UK’s vocational education needs. Higher education capacity will also need to expand to meet increasing demand. Currently, some universities find it difficult to make a business case for expanding undergraduate

36 | ROYAL ACADEMY OF ENGINEERING (RAE)

engineering degree provision because the high cost of delivery is not covered by tuition fees and the (small) additional funding provided from Government. “We must also improve awareness of the career opportunities available in engineering. A survey last year found that 20% of STEM teachers would actively discourage their pupils from becoming an engineer. This is extraordinary given the quality of careers in engineering available to young people, and it must be changed. Careers guidance is patchy and would benefit from much better coordination. The Tomorrow’s Engineers programme, coordinated by EngineeringUK and supported by the Academy, has been created to provide consistency and to develop scale in engagement between schools, industry and third sector providers. “Finally, there need to be alternative pathways, including from inside and beyond engineering. There is an excellent initiative on engineering conversion courses for those who come to engineering from other careers.”

A world view for engineering Given that engineering is a global profession we were interested to know to what extent the Academy is linked to overseas institutions of a similar nature. “The Academy is an active participant in two international organisations; the first connects European national academies and the second, academies across the globe. We now lead the global grouping and will be hosting a major conference of global engineering leaders next year on the broad theme of engineering in development including the building of engineering capacity in developing countries. “The Academy also works with global engineering leaders through partner academies in India, China, Japan, Germany and Korea on themes such as advanced manufacturing and manufacturing policy, air quality, energy, the future of robotics, and technology entrepreneurship. We have a strong strand of work with the US and Chinese Academies delivering a series of Global Grand Challenges Summits, focused at supporting upcoming engineering leaders. The Academy is now a delivery partner for the Government’s Newton Fund, a £375m initiative over five years to build research and innovation links between the UK and emerging powers. In Sub-Saharan Africa, we work directly with higher education institutions to help improve the quality of engineering education, which is so important for the future of their societies.”

Government support is often essential to encourage companies to engage in innovation. But it is an inherently risky process and outcomes can be uncertain, timescales long and the innovator often accrues only a small proportion of the overall benefits. So we need an environment conducive for innovation.

Helping tomorrow’s engineers make the right choices today One question often asked by those who wish to see more young people access the opportunities in engineering is what programmes would best promote engineering among youngsters still to make their longer term qualification choices? Mr Greenish’s views were very clear. “There is overwhelming evidence that most young people need some experience of career opportunities

www.raeng.org.uk 2015 | SHOWGUIDE

if they are to make the right choices. The Tomorrow’s Engineers schools programme is aiming to grow such that it engages some 1 million children a year. But we also need to inspire a whole range of influencers: teachers, parents, the media, careers advisers and even the engineering sector itself if we are to command attention about the importance of engineering and the diversity of opportunities it offers. Changing perceptions of engineering and improving the understanding of what we engineers do is a national-scale communications challenge and we are working with a coalition of major players to do just that.

Looking to the future Strong words indeed and no-one involved with UK engineering today would argue with any of them. But looking forward from today, we wondered which engineering sectors would the Academy expect the UK to lead in in the future if it is to retain its historic predominance in the profession. Mr Greenish warmed to this topic. “There are a great many areas in which the UK can justifiably claim to have strengths. These include aerospace, automotive, space, agri-tech, construction, offshore wind, the life sciences, high-value manufacturing, quantum technologies and many other emerging technologies. But it will require focus on the right industrial approach if the UK is to maintain and grow our strengths in an increasingly competitive world. As on previous occasions, we left Mr Greenish considerably the wiser and with a fresh perspective on the main topics currently exercising the UK’s engineering sector.

Working with Advanced Engineering UK 2015 As well as hosting its own co-locating technology symposium in a separate location within the NEC, Birmingham, SAE International will also run four expert speaker sessions as part of Advanced Engineering’s free-to-attend open conference programme, located on the exhibition show floor itself. From digital manufacturing in aerospace to connected vehicles and cyber security challenges to connectivity in automotive, SAE will be bringing the breadth of its and its members’ capabilities to this year’s events. This involvement in both the co-locating symposium and the Advanced Engineering UK open conference programme fits well with SAE’s tradition; the sharing of information and collaborative dialogue is at core of SAE and was the impetus of SAE’s earliest efforts, especially its standardisation efforts. For 110 years, SAE has been connecting vehicle engineers with each other and to the technical resources to foster learning… ultimately, the advancement of transportation systems.

Augmented and virtual reality technologies (AR/VR) One area where SAE International is providing and harnessing thought leadership and which is featuring in its co-locating symposium at Birmingham is in augmented and virtual reality technologies (AR/VR), expected to mature at an exponential rate over the next few years. Opportunities to optimise the shop floor through better designs, developed with virtual reality domains in the front end of the life cycle with direct application in augmented reality on the manufacturing floor, are a part of the new business paradigm in the manufacturing industry. Attendees can expect to learn, among other things: • How to integrate design, manufacturing, and final assembly into the digital thread of your organisation; • To show an economic value proposition for using AR and VR within your company’s advanced manufacturing enterprise;

• Previous experiences, challenges, and solutions from experts in other industries utilising AR or VR; • The future outlook of AR and VR for the mobility industry.

Automotive cyber security Another area in which SAE International has been right in the thought leadership vanguard has been the increasingly challenging area of automotive cyber security. As vehicles become increasingly dependent on and managed by software based systems, there is also a concern that they’ll become vulnerable to cyber security threats; irritating enough if hackers can stop your mobile ‘phone from working, potentially lethal if they can interfere with the management of your vehicle. SAE International is deeply involved in this important topic through its standards development activities and the Vehicle Electrical Systems Security Committee. Chairing the committee’s SAE Automotive Security Guidelines and Risk Management team is Lisa Boran, an in-vehicle security expert and Security Attribute Leader at Ford Motor Co. She describes the group’s goals and objectives… “We’re not trying to tell system developers which processes and steps to use, but we will provide a list of options that are available. The architectures of vehicle electronics networks are and will continue to be unique to the manufacturer, so we don’t envision a single solution. Each network depends on the desired elements and features to be included, and the specifics of the security countermeasures they need are likely to be unique as well.” Any new feature, whether electronic or mechanical, introduces a potential weakness or vulnerability to the previous system. For electronics, there’s always the possibility a new feature introduces an interface or software attack point. The concern isn’t that vulnerability is possible; it’s to recognise the threat and deal with it.

Standards in commercial aviation engineering and flight safety And SAE is not only involved with the automotive sector: it is also leading the way in areas such as integrated vehicle health management (IVHM) and maintenance in aviation. In this sector, SAE International is responsible for the largest industrymanaged aerospace standards program in the world with 8,400+ active standards, material specifications, recommended practices and reports. Contributing experts come from industry,

Opportunities to optimise the shop floor through better designs, developed with virtual reality domains in the front end of the life cycle with direct application in augmented reality on the manufacturing floor, are a part of the new business paradigm in the manufacturing industry operators, regulatory agencies and research & academia in 54 countries with the standards being referenced in EASA, FAA and ICAO material, and military and procurement contracts. Flight safety is another area in which SAE is very active covering topics including mitigating risk after incidents and moving from compliance auditing to performance auditing without compromising on the compliance foundation; the need to prioritise safety function and processes whilst dealing with resource and budget restraints; and supporting a Safety Management System (SMS) through the use of technology.

SAE International With involvements in Automotive and Aerospace engineering as well as the commercial vehicle sector, SAE International’s core competencies are life-long learning and voluntary consensus standards development. A new SAE microsite helps facilitate -- alwaysinmotion.sae. org.Here, for example, you’ll find a study SAE did on connectivity trends in each vehicleproducing segment. These values and the future facing issues addressed above are typical of how SAE International supports its members and what it will bring to Advanced Engineering UK 2015.

ADS at the centre of UK aerospace A number of capability, innovation and finance initiatives are driven and co-ordinated by the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead organisation in the Aerospace, Defence, Security and Space industries

www.adsgroup.org.uk 2015 | SHOWGUIDE

ADS | 41

ADS is the trade organisation advancing the UK Aerospace, Defence, Security and Space industries; industries vital to the UK economy and major drivers of growth and prosperity. Confirmation of that came with the recent announcement that the Aerospace Industry had recorded 900 deliveries in the year to end of September 2015. The data came ahead of London, for the first time, hosting the European Commission’s flagship event in aviation research and innovation, Aerodays2015. Paul Everitt, Chief Executive of ADS Group, commented: “As London prepares to welcome some of the world’s leading experts in aeronautical research for Aerodays2015, the aircraft order and backlog data emphasises the success of the UK aerospace sector. UK businesses are globally competitive, meeting increasing demand and at the forefront of developing the new technology that will shape the future of the sector. With six additional aircraft rolling off the global production line each month, the UK’s aerospace sector is responding to the increase in production rates.” The high volume of aircraft deliveries – up by six per cent year-to-date from 2014 levels – are estimated to be worth around £15bn to the UK’s Aerospace industry. Since 2010, the UK aerospace sector has grown more than 30 per cent. Significant investment through programmes such as the Aerospace Growth Partnership (AGP), National Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme (NATEP) and the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI), has initiated the development of new key technologies which will help fulfil the global backlog of over

13,000 aircraft, as well as push the boundaries of aerospace research and engineering.

The Aerospace Growth Partnership (AGP) AGP is a collaborative programme between Government and industry working together to secure the future of UK Aerospace. It is creating a shared vision and plan for the industry over the next 15 years and beyond. Companies and ADS Members should be aware of the AGP initiatives which could benefit their businesses.

The National Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme (NATEP) NATEP is going from strength to strength with the funding of an additional 18 projects from call 3 in January 2015 – bringing the total number of projects up and running to 46 involving 105 aerospace supply chain companies. The aim of the £40million programme is to fund over 100 collaborative projects that will develop innovative technologies for new products or manufacturing processes and to create and safeguard jobs within the UK aerospace supply chain. With a further 80 outline proposals received at the close of Call 4 for projects, and with one further call remaining in 2015, NATEP looks set to exceed this goal. Teams of NATEP Technology Managers working with Farnborough Aerospace Consortium, Midlands Aerospace Alliance, North West Aerospace Alliance and the West of England Aerospace Forum are closely collaborating with the project partners to work up the successful project outlines into full proposals for

consideration for funding by the programme’s National Steering Board later in 2015. NATEP Programme Director, Jeff Taylor, remains keen for companies to get in touch. He said: “The aim is to help companies develop their own innovative technologies, and at the same time enhance their technology management capabilities to increase their ability to win new business with higher tier companies anywhere in the world. The NATEP programme is unique in that it offers support not only in the form of funding but also support with technical expertise, business advice and mentoring by industry. “We’ve seen a great response from small and medium sized suppliers who are aiming to progress their technologies to the next level, and are witnessing developments across a wide range of technologies; from composites, through electronics to manufacturing processes.” Rolls Royce, Airbus, Bombardier, Spirit Aerosystems and GKN are supporting the programme, ensuring that everyone from the top level of the industry down is working together, towards the same goal.

SC21 Since its launch, the Supply Chain 21st Century (SC21) continuous improvement programme has become a recognised hallmark for efficiency. It is a change programme designed to accelerate the competitiveness of the aerospace and defence industry by raising the performance of its supply chains. International competition, together with the challenges posed by the defence industrial strategy, necessitates rapid improvement in

www.adsgroup.org.uk SHOWGUIDE | 2015

42 | ADS

the effectiveness of our supply chains. At the same time, industry must ensure that it delivers competitive solutions for customers whilst maintaining profitable business growth.

Programmes in action To see how some of these schemes are helping businesses, take the example of Bristol-based engineering group, S2 Aerospace Ltd., which has developed an all-new Storage Management and Rapid Transit Racking System (SMART) for aircraft wheels. The unique specialised storage system has been made possible due to funding from the National Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme (NATEP) – a £40 million pound initiative aimed at developing aerospace technologies and creating jobs in the supply chain. The planned SMART racking system will store wheels in a controlled way that minimises contamination and fatigue. A specially adapted transport trailer facilitates easy transit of wheels to aircraft from the storage area. Novel bearing protection will be incorporated to prevent water and dust ingress during transport and storage. After submitting their application for funding in the Call two phase of the NATEP programme, S2 Aerospace’s proposal was put before the NATEP National Steering Board in June 2015. The Board, which includes leaders from the UK aerospace sector, unanimously gave approval for the project to proceed without modification. To take the project forward, S2 Aerospace is working in collaboration

with The University of the West of England to develop an in-house capability for innovative engineering design of new technologies and products to add to its already extensive mechanical engineering operation.

Looking to the future As for the long term future of the UK’s aerospace sector, nobody takes anything for granted which is why, in June 2015, UK Government Business Minister Anna Soubry opened new cutting edge research facilities in Coventry and announced new technology projects to keep the UK a world leader in aerospace. The projects, which are jointly funded by industry and government, include work to develop ‘slippery wings’ and boost productivity. Anna Soubry announced them whilst opening the Aerospace Research Centre and National Centre for Net Shape and Additive Manufacturing – commonly referred to as 3D printing. The Minister also announced the launch of a new £10 million competition to find game-changing aerospace technologies, aimed at small firms. This opened for bids in June 2015 and is being run by Innovate UK. Speaking at the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) in Coventry where the two new facilities are based, the Minister said: “Demand for new aircraft is at record levels – around 45,000 new aircraft and 40,000 helicopters are needed between now and 2032, worth over $5trillion. This will provide billions of pounds of work to the UK economy given our leading capability in wings, engines, helicopters, advanced systems and services. Getting this

www.adsgroup.org.uk 2015 | SHOWGUIDE

right will deliver economic benefit through our large, mid-sized and small companies across the breadth of the country.” The four projects announced on the day are receiving funding from the joint Government and industry £2.1 billion commitment for aerospace R&D, guided by the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI). The projects are: • £7.2 million for Airbus to research ways to remove imperfections on wing surfaces which cause drag – making them ‘slippery’; • £5 million for five partners, led by Meggitt, to research how pioneering technologies, such as the Internet of Things, can be applied to aircraft factory production; • £6.4 million for Spirit AeroSystems, the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) and Aeromet to research advanced automated assembly technologies – a factory of the future – to improve the cost competitiveness of the UK supply chain; • £4.4 million to support UTC Aerospace Systems, working with the AMRC, to set up production lines to manufacture high volume, low cost advanced composite products. Chief Executive of the ATI Gary Elliott said: “Seeing the Aerospace Research Centre open and the launch of projects involving companies from within the heart of the supply chain are good examples of the collaboration between Government and industry creating a more competitive sector of enriched capabilities and increased productivity. The ATI’s focus on technologies and manufacturing is ensuring investments are focused and economically sound.”

Two New Products sianet comes in two different series: The 7900 blue-fired/white aluminium oxide grain which is suitable for sanding all types of woods composites and fillers. The 7500 CER series is a ceramic grain product and is designed for sanding hard and solid surfaces.

Simple Handling sianet is not tied to any specific hole system or type of backing pad and therefore can be used on all types of machines and hand tools. Another big advantage of sianet is that no intermediate backing pad is required to be used.

Optimum Dust Extraction sianet has an open net structure which allows for full-surface extraction of the sanding dust. This minimises clogging and therefore significantly increases the products lifetime and ensures a virtually dust free sanding environment.

In 2015, we are once again pleased to enjoy the support of Midlands Aerospace Alliance (MAA) and members at the Aero Engineering Show within Advanced Engineering UK group of events. The UK’s aero engineering sector is second to none in Europe and the second largest in the world; so the businesses in the Midlands aerospace cluster are significant contributors to one of the UK’s most important and highest earning engineering and manufacturing sectors.

The MAA’s role Members in MAA benefit from a range of supports including collective services, networking opportunities and in-depth support at events such as the biennial Farnborough Air Show, as well as insights to the latest technology and through being represented by MAA at the highest levels and where it matters. MAA and the Midlands Aerospace cluster are part of the wider UK aerospace community, within which MAA is able to represent the region as well as offer particular support to some of its smaller members in dealing with the sector. Midlands’ aerospace businesses also intersect with the

wider UK engineering sector in areas such as skills development, supply chain development and management and capabilities. In that respect, MAA enjoys close links to other engineering bodies such as EEF. MAA also encourages companies from those related sectors to join, to both bring their skills and capabilities into aero engineering and to leverage some of the skills and capabilities already in that sector. MAA has always been a

supporter of government policy to rebalance the UK economy with a greater emphasis on manufacturing and awaits the new government’s updated policy in this area.

Midlands Aero Cluster in aircraft programmes A lot of companies in the cluster are currently heavily involved with the major Boeing and Airbus

programmes (Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A350 XWB) through, among others, Rolls-Royce which has a large supply chain in the region. Other involvements include the Bombardier CSeries which also uses Rolls-Royce engines. Although there are no significant new aircraft programmes currently in play, members are waiting to see whether Airbus will develop a new version of the A380 and, in the longer term, Boeing’s plans to replace their 757 and 767 models. Regardless of what future programmes there might be, Midlands aero engineering businesses are investing in new technologies to deliver lighter weight, better fuel efficiency and electronic controls. Many MAA member companies of all sizes are involved in national initiatives such as AGP (the Aerospace Growth Partnership) and MAA’s Chief Executive, Andrew Mair represents the regional aerospace alliances on AGP. With another important UK programme, the National Aerospace Technology Programme (NATEP) MAA also plays a key role. This programme to develop new technologies in the supply chain will be showcased at Advanced Engineering UK 2015 and later (November 12th) at the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC). MAA helps small companies in accessing NATEP funding for developing new technologies and in accessing NATEP sponsored mentoring support from larger customer companies in the supply chain as well as offering mentoring from MAA experts.

Participation in Advanced Engineering UK Andrew Mair says, “We always welcome our and our members’ participation at Advanced Engineering UK for the cross sector opportunities that it offers. That is why we have been involved with the event since the outset. It offers our members an opportunity to better understand other markets where they might be able to leverage their capabilities and for us to welcome businesses from other engineering sectors to look at opportunities to use their own skills and capabilities in aerospace.” MAA members are encouraged to explore the synergetic opportunities that might be at Advanced Engineering for them in sectors such as automotive, motorsport, power engineering and rail engineering. On the other side of the coin, members are encouraged to consider what transferable skills and capabilities they might find in composites, machine tools, testing and other engineering sectors.

Looking to the future Andrew Mair feels that key to any future success will be the Government’s policy. “It’s critical for the new government to be as supportive of aerospace as was the previous administration. We’d like to see no change and for the government to reaffirm support for manufacturing without too much changing the current policy – if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.”

There’s also some concern among MAA members as to the capabilities of the local enterprise partnerships to fully support industry. It would be welcome if the government were to look at this. Doing no more than looking forward from the current position, MAA and its members can see steady growth continuing for the sector with demand from around the world. That said, the history of aerospace and aero engineering has included downturns and crises as well as periods of prosperous productivity. The turnover of Midlands’ aerospace businesses has doubled in the past ten years so if there is a downturn or even a crisis, it’s possible that the current order backlog will sustain the sector. While industrial organisations like MAA are always reluctant to become involved in issues such as the forthcoming EU referendum, Andrew Mair felt that the basic economics of the aerospace industry are unlikely to be affected by any change. However, it could make a big difference in individual cases such as Airbus which has spoken strongly in favour of the UK remaining in the European Union. Having been in at the start, MAA and its members are clearly determined to contribute to and benefit from the opportunities and the networking and synergetic possibilities at Advanced Engineering UK 2015.

The objective of the Programme was to create a world class supply chain in the North West of England working with a select group of strategic aerospace suppliers from various levels of the Supply Chain.

ASCE 2 The ASCE 2 programme further built on the successful foundations created by ASCE 1, with both programmes strongly supported by the Northwest Primes. The objective of ASCE 2 was to secure a competitive base of worldclass aerospace supply chain companies in the North West of England. ASCE 2 focused on delivering five key work streams, notably Commodity Groups, Skills and Image, Innovation, Shared Services and Extended Enterprise; each encouraged collaborative behaviour and close coupled thinking. During David Bailey, CEO, North West Aerospace Alliance the programme period, ASCE 2 helped to increase GVA by £125m, created 165 new jobs and safeguarded a further 404, whilst assisting over 40 key aerospace supply chain companies. ensure that they are well placed to take advantage of those opportunities.

With bold and classic colours combined Looking to the future NWAA is always looking to the future and working with height and bright LED lighting NWAA is to ensure that its members not only have access certain the stand will make their exhibitors stand to future opportunities but also share a strategy to out from the crowd.

The North West of England has long been a powerhouse in the world’s aerospace and defence industry. The Northern Powerhouse is the UK Government’s new initiative to boost the economy of the North of England. The North West Aerospace Alliance believes the Aerospace and Defence Sectors have an important part to play in delivering growth. However, deeper collaboration across all stakeholders will be required to make that happen in the face of the global challenges. Global demand for civil aircraft continues to grow by 5% year on year, but so does the capability of overseas supply chains, with foreign nations providing support to develop their local capabilities. If the North West’s aerospace supply chain is going to maintain or grow market share, then it must gain and maintain world class competitiveness. By doing so, the North West’s aerospace industry can continue to provide highvalue manufacturing employment securing the future for our local communities and region. NWAA, together with some of its leading member companies, has launched a strategic development programme, to ensure that the Aerospace supply chain continues to build the capability and productivity levels that will ensure future competitiveness. The programme brings leading companies together from across the North West of England through a series of workshops focused on Manufacturing, Technology, Supply Chain and Skills. From the first workshop with its members, the Alliance has already determined a number of key issues. Dr. David Bailey, Chief Executive of the Alliance commented “Our members in the North West of England represent some 25% of the UK’s Aerospace Industry which is the second largest in the World after the United States. However, the challenges from the growing global competition are unrelenting and a robust response is required by all of our stakeholders. I believe the Northern Powerhouse can help us to grow market share if we can do more to connect, for example, Lancashire’s aerospace metal machining companies with Yorkshire’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centres.” This is today’s Northwest Aerospace Alliance, supporting the North West of England aerospace sector now and actively planning for future success.

A place in engineering history and the future in its sights ALFED explains why aluminium is one of the most versatile metals and materials for engineering and manufacturing

This year’s Advanced Engineering UK group of events will include the Aluminium Federation, ALFED, reflecting the growing importance of performance metals in the advanced engineering and manufacturing sector. ALFED will be hosting a presentation ‘Aluminium – The Future’s Light’ in Open Conference 4 at Advanced Engineering UK and will be available at their stand J105 throughout the show. In light of all this, we were interested to discover more about ALFED, its members and the aluminium sector.

Aluminium in key engineering sectors today and in the future Aluminium has long been a valued material where light weight and corrosion resistance are considerations but aluminium offers a range of qualities to modern advanced engineering applications in key sectors. Aluminium is in many ways still a new material, with new alloys and applications regularly being developed. Its characteristics of lightness, strength, durability and corrosion resistance have long been valued by engineers. For instance, aluminium has featured from the dawn of aviation: the Wright brothers’ first aircraft, which flew in 1903, had a fourcylinder, 12-horsepower car engine modified with a 30-pound aluminium block to reduce weight. The use of aluminium tracked the growth of aviation in the last century, and even with the advent of composites in aviation, the current Airbus is still more than 60% aluminium. While the automotive sector has used aluminium since its inception, the past decade has seen interest in the metal rocket, as manufacturers seek lightweighting solutions in order to meet ever stricter economy and emissions targets. Niche vehicles such as the Audi A8, Honda NSX and Jaguar XJ were built of aluminium, but 2015 marked the watershed for aluminium bodied vehicles, with the launch of the Ford F-150 – the world’s most popular 4-wheeler – and the Jaguar XE, the world’s first volume aluminium car. While the advent of aluminium-intensive vehicles has captured the headlines, equally important is the growth in the use of aluminium for individual panels and components in mixed material vehicles, such as the new BMW 7 Series and Mazda MX5. The rail industry has also used aluminium for many years and the metal is now being used in new innovative designs for rolling stock.

The past decade has seen interest in the metal rocket, as manufacturers seek lightweighting solutions in order to meet However, its durability has also seen old London Underground trains being re-engineered for use on local rail routes, their aluminium bodies still offering many years of useful service life. Aluminium has a wide range of applications where lightness and durability is required. Alloys historically used in aviation are being used in the automotive and other engineering sectors and new alloys applications are actively being developed – such as smartphones and cast aluminium wheels for the 1,000 mph Bloodhound SSC. The Advanced Forming Research Centre, part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, is currently working with individual ALFED members

Another strong year for UK composites… … and, as our meeting with Dr Sue Halliwell confirmed, the foundations are in place for a strong future

Dr Sue Halliwell

(Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain Initiative) and of the Round 2 Composites Innovation Cluster (CiC) Capability Projects and Forums. “The Composites Innovation Cluster is well into its second year,” Sue explained, “and is well on track to deliver a network of composite knowledge and technology providers to address the needs of high-value manufacturing applications. The programme partners are starting to see some exciting results, and with the programme ending in July 2016 they decided to increase their presence at the Advanced Engineering Show by taking a dedicated CiC exhibition stand (C144) in addition to the two project update forum sessions.” It was good to hear that Advanced Engineering UK is seen as supporting CiC’s profile and we were interested in another key component in the UK’s programme to retain leadership in the sector. Our next question was about the significance of the Composites Leadership Forum (CLF), why it was established, what it aims to contribute to the sector and it’s long term objectives. “The Composites Leadership Forum exists,” Sue confirmed, “to ensure that UK Government and Industry continue to recognise composite materials as a key cross-sectoral technology and sub-set of advanced materials. In order to achieve this, CLF has worked with bodies developing all the strategies outlined to deliver a refreshed UK Composites Strategy which links into and delivers UK composite requirements. These are reflected by the eleven industry strategies – aerospace, automotive, construction, energy (nuclear, oil & gas, offshore wind), education, professional and business services, information economy, life sciences and agri-tech sectors. CLF also produces a stand-alone strategy to develop the UK composite industry in its own right.” Understanding that CLF engages a number of bodies we wanted to look further into the importance of the various stakeholder groups involved. “It is important to have the key stakeholders involved so we can influence future funding calls and ensure government money is focused in the areas needed to grow and develop UK plc.” Sue explained, “The key stakeholders are BIS, Innovate UK, EPSRC and UKTI.”

If the Advanced Engineering UK group of events highlight UK capabilities in a range of advanced and high value engineering and manufacturing areas, the well-established Composites Engineering Show offers a showcase for one of the UK’s many engineering success stories. Long gone are the days when composites were seen simply in terms of replacing heavier metal as the material of choice for non-performance critical components. These days, composites are the materials of choice in almost every engineering sector. It’s all about reducing weight for lower carbon emissions plus improving strength for greater durability and, therefore, a longer productive life. In fact, the Composites Leadership Forum (more of which below) has assembled some pretty stunning facts from Lucintel about the importance of the sector, including that, “The worldwide market for composites end products in 2013, across all sectors, had a value of US$68.1bn. This market is expected to grow at around 6.5% CAGR over the next 6 years to about $105.8bn in 2020.” Fortunately, UK engineering and governments were early adopters in this area and there are a number of initiatives underway to ensure that the UK retains its place at the very top of this particular engineering tree. Composites UK takes an increasingly pivotal role in taking the sector forward and so we were pleased to be able to meet Dr Sue Halliwell, Operations Manager at Composites UK, to review the landscape in A strategy for success composites, look to the future and find out more Still looking at CLF, our next question was, if about the initiatives underway. CLF is a response to meet expanding demand from a range of sectors, could Sue comment on specific sector trends and what engagement Supply chain and innovation Our first question was to ask about AMSCI will be needed to ensure that each sector is

able to harness a complete composites supply chain capability. Sue pointed us to CLF’s strategy Summary for 2015, ‘Lightening the Load’ which states; “CLF Working Groups have identified clusters of composites manufacturing in which the distinguishing characteristics are driven by scale factors: product performance, physical size and production rate. There are similarities within these Manufacturing Clusters in the use of production technologies, supply chain configurations, cost models and skill requirements across industrial sectors. The strategy presents a simplified view of these clusters and makes recommendations for further work based on increasing the level of knowledge sharing within these clusters. The manufacturing cluster strategy will: •E nable sectors within each cluster to benefit from knowledge transfer and to develop cross-sector, collaborative research and innovation; •D eliver greater impact in shorter timescales from available public funding; • I dentify shared investment opportunities within manufacturing clusters; •L ead to accelerated commercialisation, a more competitive multi-sector supply chain and facilitate the greater application of composite materials”. That led us to what is being done to develop new capability, particularly around automation. “BIS (Department for Business Innovation & Skills) funded the CiC programme of projects through AMSCI, Sue explained; ”Some of these

focus on developing technologies and materials to deliver high volume production in the UK. In addition BIS is in discussion with CLF to look at how the UK can meet the predicted demand from the automotive sector which will require high volume, low cycle time production.”

Keeping ahead of the pack Given the range of actions being undertaken, what about strategies evolving to help UK composites businesses stay ahead? “Composites UK,” Sue said, “has set up several new strategies to help keep the UK at the forefront of the composites industry. The Composites Assured Practitioner (CAP) scheme, currently in its pilot phase, is producing a set of standardised guidelines by which the competency of employees can be internally assessed across a wide range of technologies, processes and methodologies. “The Composites Hub Database will be officially launched by Composites UK at Advanced Engineering UK and, over time, will hold details of every company in the UK composites supply chain, allowing us to create detailed industry statistics and reports as well as being able to signpost enquiries to the right companies. “Composites UK has also developed its own Health and Safety audit tool. With HSE (the UK Health & Safety Executive) becoming more involved with the plastics sector – which includes composites – it is important to show that our members are taking an active approach to the topic. The tool will allow members to assess their health and safety processes and what needs to be put in place, awarding them a certificate corresponding to their answers. “In addition we are working closely with the CLF standards working group and member companies to ensure appropriate representation on national (BSI) and European committees (CEN) for development of product standards.

Warming to her skills focused theme and in tune with current industry thinking, Sue continued, “Composites UK is supporting the development of a Composites Technician Trailblazer Apprenticeship. The Trailblazers will give employers the opportunity to lead the development of new Apprenticeship standards and the high-level assessment approaches that sit alongside them.”

Composites in Engineering With these initiatives underway and bearing in mind the synergetic, networking heart of Advanced Engineering UK, how well are composites penetrating the main industrial sectors? “Composites,” Sue told us, “have made significant inroads into several key industry sectors including aerospace. Automotive is the next sector where composites will play a significant role in growth of the industry. They have made small inroads into construction and rail but the potential in both sectors is huge (for rail in infrastructure as well as rolling stock). Oil and gas is a growing market. There is more detail in the CLF strategy document.”

Composites at Getting the right skills into the sector Advanced Engineering UK Stepping back to the last answer, Sue had mentioned the Composites Assured Practitioner scheme and we thought readers would be interseted in that. Sue elaborated on CAP, currently in its pilot phase for pre-preg, wet lay-up and resin infusion. “The scheme,” she said, “allows employers to assess employees against standardised industry guidelines highlighting any skills gaps and further training required. Employees build up a ‘passport’ which will also assist employers when recruiting as the level each worker is at will be evident. The scheme will enable companies to demonstrate compliance of their workforce within audited schemes such as NADCAP, ISO standards and SC21 (helping with the manufacturing excellence needed in a supply chain) and is also overseen by the British Composites Society, the link to the professional institutes. Long-term, it will link with apprenticeship schemes and graduate programmes for a unified approach across the full skill set.”

Setting out Composites UK’s stall, as it were, for the show, Sue told us, “On each show day there will be a session on ‘Supporting Composites Industry Growth’ showcasing Composites UK initiatives – The Hub Database, Health and Safety information, the CAP Scheme and Trailblazer Apprenticeships. We also have a one hour award nominee session, giving the top two shortlisted entries in the Innovation categories (Manufacture, Materials and Design) a chance to present their work. There will be two Industry Feature sessions, the first on Construction – a halfan-hour slot detailing what the construction sector needs from the composites industry, footbridge applications and the use of FRP as a structural reinforcement. “The second Industry Feature session will be a panel discussion organised in collaboration with the Rail Alliance which will generate discussion as to how the industry is embracing FRPs and how these could be utilised further. We are also running our join now pay January campaign at the show.”

The Composites UK Industry Awards Dinner

Composites UK also holds its own awards event a short walk from Advanced Engineering UK, and before we parted, we asked about them. “Now in its fourth year, the Composites UK Industry Awards Dinner is going from strengthto-strength.” Sue is proud of this success story. “In a change from previous events, we are now announcing the winners of the awards on the night itself allowing us to preview the top two shortlisted Innovation entries at a dedicated forum session on day one of Advanced Engineering UK. We have over 150 people signed up to attend the event so far, making us well on target to beat last year’s attendance record. It’s a great way to extend the networking opportunities presented by Advanced Engineering UK into Wing Inner rear spar section end view – GKN the evening and celebrate the UK’s achievements Having come to the heart of what Advanced with others.” We really couldn’t have put it better ourselves Engineering UK is all about, what are the areas on which Composites UK will be focusing and UK advanced engineering is all the their presentations at the event and with what stronger for a well organised composites engineering sector and Composites UK. marketing initiatives are they involved?

Supporting an informed industry NetComposites will add their usual blend of information imparted, developments explained and problems solved to this year’s Composites Engineering Show

As in previous years, Advanced Engineering UK and the Composites Engineering Show in 2015 will benefit from the presence and involvement of NetComposites. In their own words, ‘NetComposites offers applied research and development, conferencing and training, as well as an industry leading news and information portal.’ As well as hosting forums at the show, NetComposites will also be offering the ‘Ask the Expert’ service for businesses with questions about how they could become more involved in the composites sector, how the composites sector might help to resolve some of their challenges and specific composites related problems. This access to experts has always been a popular and well appreciated part of the events and so we are especially pleased to welcome its return this year.

Forum themes The themes that will feature in the forum sessions have been selected to reflect what matters to the sector today.

Thermoplastic composites Interest in thermoplastic composites is growing. They now offer real alternatives to traditional thermoset-based composites which rely on an irreversible and generally quite slow cure cycle. In contrast, thermoplastic composites can utilise very fast thermoforming manufacturing processes and can be re-shaped upon the application of heat. This opens-up manufacturing, reuse and recycling options that are not open to thermosets. In addition they can offer impact-resistance and weight-saving advantages. This forum will offer an overview of the development of thermoplastic composite processing and applications, plus recent advances in the technology.

NetComposites are developing biocomposites a good introduction to and overview of the current through to commercial reality and, through their state of and future potential for composites while consultancy, can advise others on how to do that. newcomers and old hands alike will be able to get up to date with the latest developments.

Nanocomposites

A nanocomposite is effectively any polymer matrix, in which a filler (or fillers) having one or more external dimension less than 100 nm (nanometre – one billionth of a metre) has been dispersed. The key concept driving the development of these materials is the possibility of significantly improving the properties of a composite with the addition of very low loadings (typically <5%) of nanofiller. Although current applications include the aerospace, marine, wind energy and sporting goods sectors, there remain significant challenges which need to be overcome in order Biocomposites The biocomposites forum will focus not just on for nanocomposites to match their much-hyped interesting technologies but also barriers and status as wonder materials.

efficiency, reducing costs, whilst providing the optimum reinforcement within parts. This reflects the reality that innovation is at the forefront of all industries and with increasingly stringent regulations being introduced in many end applications, the composites industry has to develop new technologies to meet weight, cost and production rate requirements. Attendees will also be introduced to INC 2015 (Industrial Nanocomposites Conference) later in November 2015. INC 2015 will be focusing on the current and emerging applications of polymer nanocomposites; defining challenges and drivers in relation to the use of nanocomposites, and considering the way forward, discussing commercialisation routes and future opportunities.

Additive manufacturing – a new way to make things The EPMA will be hosting forum sessions to discuss the latest in performance metals engineering technology

A new show stream and an innovative technology The new Performance Metals Engineering stream in 2015 includes a number of contributors whose presentations will add to attendees’ understanding of some of the most important developments in manufacturing for decades or more. The EPMA (European Powder Metallurgy Association) has been supporting members since 1989 through promoting and developing powder metallurgy (PM) technology, representing the European PM industry in Europe and internationally, and developing the future of powder metallurgy. In respect of this last objective, the EPMA has created an ‘Introduction to Additive Manufacturing Technology’ brochure (download at http://www.epma.com/doc_ details/427-introduction-to-additive-manufacturingtechnology). Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, rapid prototyping or freeform fabrication, is ‘the process of joining materials to make objects from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing methodologies’ such as machining. The use of Additive Manufacturing (AM) with metal powders is a new and growing industry sector with many of its leading companies based in Europe. It has become a suitable process to produce complex metal net shape parts, and not only prototypes, as before. Additive manufacturing now enables both a design and industrial revolution, in various industrial sectors such as aerospace, energy, automotive, medical, tooling and consumer goods. Technologies for additive manufacturing with metals are numerous, hence the development of a wide variety of terms and acronyms. But today ‘additive manufacturing’ is the most common term in industry markets while ‘3D printing’ is more used in the consumer market.

Additive manufacturing (AM) complements other powder metallurgy (PM) technologies Like Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP), AM is more suitable for the production of small or medium series of parts. While HIP process is generally used for the manufacturing of massive near net shape parts of several hundred kilograms, the AM process is more suitable for smaller parts of a few kilos and it offers an improved capacity to produce complex metal parts thanks to a greater design freedom.

The benefits of AM technology Metal additive manufacturing technologies offer many key benefits including: • Increased design freedom versus conventional casting and machining; • Light weight structures, made possible either by the use of lattice design or by designing parts where material is only where it needs to be, without other constraints; • New functions such as complex internal channels or several parts built in one; • Net shape process meaning less raw material consumption, up to 25 times less versus machining, important in the case of expensive or difficult to machine alloys. The net shape capability helps creating complex parts in one step only thus reducing the number of assembly operations such as welding and brazing; • No tools needed, unlike other conventional

www.epma.com 2015 | SHOWGUIDE

metallurgy processes which require moulds and metal forming or removal tools; • Short production cycle time: complex parts can be produced layer by layer in a few hours in additive machines. The total cycle time including post processing usually amounts to a few days or weeks and it is usually much shorter than conventional metallurgy processes which often require production cycles of several months. The process is suitable for the production of parts in small series.

The limits of AM technology To take full advantage of AM technologies, it is important to be aware of some limitations: • Part size: in the case of powder bed technology, the part size is limited to powder bed size, such as 250x250x250 mm for standard powder bed systems. However, part sizes

The use of Additive Manufacturing (AM) with metal powders is a new and growing industry sector with many of its leading companies based in Europe. It has become a suitable process to produce complex metal net shape parts, and not only prototypes

can be greater with direct energy deposition (or laser metal deposition) processes. But, due to the low thickness of powder layers, it can be very slow and costly building high parts or massive parts; • Production series: AM processes are generally suitable for unitary or small series and is not relevant for mass production. But progress is being made to increase machine productivity and thus the production of larger series. For small sized parts, series up to 25,000 parts a year are already possible; • Part design: in the case of powder bed technology, removable support structures are needed when the overhang angle is below 45°. Other design considerations may also have to be taken into account; • M aterial choice: though many alloys are available, non-weldable metals cannot be processed by additive manufacturing and difficult-to-weld alloys require specific approaches; • Material properties: parts made by additive manufacturing tend to show anisotropy (directional dependency) in the Z axis (construction direction); • Besides, though densities of 99.9% can be reached, there can be some residual internal porosities. Mechanical properties are usually superior to cast parts but in general inferior to wrought parts.

A strong future The use of additive manufacturing technology is developing in many industries: aerospace, energy, medical (surgical implants and dental applications), tooling (in particular for plastics processing), automotive, transportation, consumer goods etc. AM technology is no longer used only for prototyping but now also for metal part production, hence the strong growth since 2012 of AM systems sales for the production of metal parts. Attendees at Advanced Engineering UK 2015 will find EPMA’s presentations on AM an excellent introduction to a technology that really will change the direction of manufacturing.

58 | MOTORSPORT INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION (MIA)

Looking to the future of engineering Motorsport businesses are often ahead in advanced engineering solutions and processes because their sector demands the very best and demands it now Chris Aylett, Chief Executive of the MIA – Motorsport Industry Association

As with any sector that plans to thrive in the long term, motorsport has to always be thinking about the future, what it can contribute to that future and what can be gained. So, looking ahead, growing the popularity of the sports entertainment that is motorsport, by bringing it to a wider global audience and using all the latest communication techniques possible, is vital to the income stream which pays for all our innovative engineering and development. Consumers expectation for instant entertainment, delivered anywhere and anytime, on demand makes for a very competitive marketplace and we need all the communication tools we can find. The instant global success of an all-electric race series – Formula E – shows how new technologies can entertain and capture a new, ever younger audience. This will encourage more to invest in ‘alternative’ types of motorsport which will demand creative engineering solutions, hybrid powertrains, autonomous controls, hydrogen power, energy recovery and storage, compact turbo-charged or supercharged internal combustion engines, movable aerodynamics, lighter weight components, audience information systems and such like. Audiences attract sponsors who pay to use the best engineering solutions that keep the cars running for as long as possible in front of these audiences so popularity is essential.

Advanced Engineering UK

Sharing great engineering ideas…

The MIA’s association with Advanced Engineering UK fits well with that outlook and approach. Our industry needs to be right on top of all new engineering solutions from as wide a range of sources as possible; there are no limits as to the type of innovative ideas which may prove of value to our world of ‘engineering entertainment’ and Advanced Engineering UK allows us ready access to a large number of potential new suppliers and their ideas. We need providers of ideas in the realms of lightweight, energy efficient, low volume, rapid response, resilient, tough, advanced, creative… and we know Advanced Engineering UK has exhibitors who fit the bill. For our members who are participating in Advanced Engineering UK 2015, the attractions are many but can be summed up as easy access to a good number of potential suppliers of the above, as well as new networks, and the chance to gain knowledge and information to stimulate our most creative and very competitive engineers. And that is very much part of a two-way process; motorsport also has a great deal to offer other areas of engineering; transferable technologies that MIA members feel will benefit other advanced engineering sectors

In the recent past, technologies from motorsport which have found ‘new’ homes in other sectors include those connected with ‘energy efficient solutions’ – for example, energy storage systems for wind farms on Scottish remote islands, lightweight hydraulic systems for race yachts and energy recovery systems in buses and trains. Furthermore, data collection and transfer systems, developed in motorsport, are being used in the health care sector to monitor vital signs to save lives in premature births. Lightweight yet rugged, rapid response solutions are being delivered to a wide number of defence companies. It is the ‘capability’ of motorsport suppliers to provide, incredibly fast, creative responses to engineering problems using a wide palette of ‘race proven’ techniques and technologies that is bringing significant new business into the UK motorsport sector – the breadth and variety of such opportunity is simply staggering… • Lightweight structures; • Rapid prototyping; • Low-carbon, high-performance technologies; • Kinetic energy recovery systems and waste heat recovery systems; • Energy efficient solutions; • Engine downsizing;

Looking to the future’s engineers

Crown

One area in which the MIA has been particularly active has been with our work on skills and apprenticeship development in advanced engineering. In the past fifteen years, the specialised skills needed to support the UK motorsport sector has seen the creation of ‘motorsport engineering’ degrees being offered – from foundation to Master’s level – by some fifteen universities. Many attract a significant number of the world’s best engineering students who come to Motorsport Valley UK, which they see as the home of motorsport advanced technology. Not all of these graduates choose to go into motorsport; many take their special training and qualifications into other engineering sectors. 99% of the four thousand companies in motorsport are SMEs and these mirror the patchy recruitment of apprentices seen across the board in engineering, finding the ‘hidden’ costs of engaging and training apprentices quite a burden, even though they wholeheartedly support the growth of apprenticeships. Many employ one or two apprentices each year and this number is slowly growing. At the beginning of October this year, 2015, MIA launched a School for Race Mechanics at Donington which will train young people ready for work on race teams in bikes and cars, and this specialised school sits alongside our other School for Race Engineers, where more experienced engineers learn the black arts of being a race engineer working closely, on track, with race drivers in race environments.

Motorsport at the forefront • Energy recovery and split cycle; • Hybrid transmissions; • Energy storage; • Advanced boosting systems; • Telemetry advances; • Aerodynamics and moveable aerodynamics; • Electrification of braking systems; • Thermal management; • Efficient cooling solutions – avionics cooling. And looking to an engineering development at the forefront today, experts in additive manufacturing consider motorsport companies to be at the leading edge in the manufacture and delivery of ‘ready to use’ engineering solutions that are increasingly fitted to cars and bikes used on tracks. Motorsport engineers have moved past using 3D simply for modelling solutions and are delivering actual end-use products.

…and sharing business processes Some of the advanced business process capabilities that MIA members can bring to advanced engineering include timescale and rapid development, flexibility and production methods. They reflect and have been driven by

the challenging business environment in which motorsport operates. To survive as a supplier in motorsport the service provided has to be at the top of the game – the start of a race has never been delayed for delivery of a spare part! Thereby, any of those who have achieved consistent success in this demanding sector, whether of a product or service, will have accepted the special demands of servicing a truly global and exceptionally demanding customer who will, in return, be able to pay the top price for the right supply. These international customers demand complete commitment to ‘first time every time’ perfect quality; 24/7 response to and from anywhere in the world; agility of approach to solutions; access to the very latest innovative thoughts, iterations and materials; ’out of the box’ creativity; and a constant effort to find and consistently deliver even the slightest improvement. It would appear that the automotive and defence sectors are likely to be the primary alternative sectors who will gain benefit from the ‘capability’ on offer from UK motorsport companies as they need fast response with short-run or prototype solutions to many engineering problems using the

Over four thousand companies work in UK motorsport with international sales of nearly £10 billion and employing 30,000 in engineering. Motorsport companies invest well over 30% of sales revenues in R&D and, as a consequence, are major beneficiaries of the UK R&D tax credit scheme offered by this government. Seven out of 10 F1 teams choose to be located in Motorsport Valley UK due to the proximity of our experienced supply chain and positive business environment. In December this year, the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) will be launching a new partnership with the MIA and the UK motorsport industry focusing on developing the increasingly valuable opportunity for horizontal innovation across the UK’s engineering community, in which the MIA and our 400 corporate members are seen as being an exemplar, and standard bearers. Given all the above, perhaps it is not surprising that membership of the MIA is growing fast and it is open to all those who wish to engage with and grow business with the world’s motorsport sector or who already supply these customers.

areas such as safety and emissions. In many areas, technical innovation is ahead of the legislation, such as autonomous vehicles. But fuel economy and emissions regulations are still a challenge to the industry if they are to meet global targets for 2020-25. With a wide number of potential solutions being pursued, it is still a very active area of research and development. Fortunately, typically the legislative timetable is sufficient for the industry as a whole to prepare and react. However, the key important developments within the industry are likely to be semi-autonomous driving technology and the connected car; technology developments to address emissions, fuel economy and safety; and the continued globalization of vehicle platforms. Whatever the reasons for a development at any level, Magna’s involvement in the development of a new car varies. It can vary from as late as Magna receiving an request for quotation (RFQ) with a finished drawing, to Magna having developed an advanced innovation over many years to which an OEM has exclusive access for use on a future vehicle.

MAGNA INTERNATIONAL | 61

Looking to the future With all of these developments in the sector, one question must be what the car of the future will look like and what will be the influences on that. The car of the future (say, 2025) will have significant active safety on board, as well as an increased level of connectivity. Connectivity will be ‘always on’. Comfort and convenience will mean different things with semi-autonomous driving. Voice, gesture and human interface (HMI) controls will also become more sophisticated and intuitive. Vehicles will use more multi-material structures, smaller and more efficient powertrains, and more aerodynamic systems. These are all things Magna’s R&D group is looking at to align future trends with their product portfolio and from there identify the unmet needs of the marketplace. Another big question of the day is what further opportunities there are to save weight in vehicle construction and how these will affect design, production and performance. Vehicle mass is a function of physics and economics. You need so much material to manage safety loads to meet legislation targets, plus the cost of the material typically goes up with a lower specific mass.

Businesses just have to manage the engineering and application to find an acceptable balance. For instance, Magna has recently introduced the first all-composite liftgate. In addition, they have developed a multi-material lightweight vehicle concept with Ford Motor Company. Weight is only one aspect that contributes to the goal of improving CO2 and fuel economy performance. There are other opportunities to continue to reduce weight, but it needs to be achieved at an affordable cost. As well as working to customer specifications, a business in the automotive supply chain must also drive and support innovation within the automotive sector if it is to stay at the top of its game. Magna has developed successful innovative products, such as the ‘stow and go’ seating system, and the Pureview rear window system. The business is continuously exploring new innovations in products, materials and processes to support customers’ product platforms. Often it’s a home grown technology that is developed in-house and then developed further for a specific OEM application. Other sources can be by working with universities,

What further opportunities there are to save weight in vehicle construction and how these will affect design, production and performance partnering with start-up companies and on occasions acquiring a company or a technology license. There is no fixed way to commercialize an invention. What is certain is that Magna knows how to stay ahead of the game in the automotive engineering supply chain and that they are looking forward to the opportunity to share that process with others who can bring great ideas to them at Advanced Engineering UK 2015.

Rail Alliance; an engineering opportunity Rail engineering supply chain offers future growth opportunities in a major and growing component of UK infrastructure John Hancock

With the September announcement that two major rail electrification schemes were back on track (pun intended), following a brief summer hiatus while Network Rail developed a full plan for each of them, the UK’s rail engineering sector is set for a very busy future. Both the electrification of the Trans Pennine Railway between Manchester and York (scheduled for completion in 2022) and the electrification of the Midland Mainline (scheduled for full completion in 2023) mean that rail engineering is set to play a pivotal role in some of the largest infrastructure programmes ever proposed for the UK. With that in mind and with the knowledge that the UK is the birthplace of rail engineering, Advanced Engineering UK 2015 is pleased to welcome Rail Alliance as a new and major exhibitor at the country’s largest showcase for the UK’s most important industrial sectors. From its foundation in 2005 as a Rail offshoot for the

Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS) within the West Midlands; Rail Alliance already had a track record when the present name was coined and has continued to deliver outstanding success. The organisation retains close links with the Department of Business, Innovations and Skills having been supported by BIS in the early days, establishing an expanded national role and playing a central role in the UK’s economically vital engineering sector.

Bringing engineering businesses to future railway opportunities The Rail Alliance is the rail sector’s largest dedicated b2b networking organisation and brings customers, suppliers and supply chain opportunities together while supporting members with mentoring, marketing intelligence and networking opportunities. It is also about helping organisations fulfil their business potential and is the essential business resource for any

www.railalliance.co.uk xxxxxxxxxx 2015 | SHOWGUIDE

organisation with ambitions in the rail sector, whether already involved in rail or looking to break into this growth market. Members benefit from networking and advertising support; promotion of membership in international markets; mentoring, education and training programmes to support high standards of skills in the sector; and developing the relationship between research, technology and industry. Rail Alliance truly is a world class organisation, whose objectives are summed up in the Mission Statement: ‘To provide a forum where members can network, collaborate, innovate and thrive in order to maintain and grow the prosperity and sustainability of their business.’ That provision includes driving forward the highest levels of skills and standards in the sector. There is a multi-million pound pool of existing and future opportunities in the delivery of the railway of the 21st century. It is a supply chain

the programme include organisations such as Alstom, Siemens, Bombardier, Network Rail, HS2, Carillion, Atkins, Amey, Crossrail, Porterbrook, TfL, SW Trains and ATOC. A clear benefit to the SME is the opportunity to shape a product to the needs of a top tier company in a highly supportive environment. Top tier companies will offer a selection of SMEs access to their management team, meeting space in their facilities and coaching in their specific supply chain requirements. SMEs can register free of charge at www.railmentor.com The third edition of the RSG strategy was launched in January 2015 by then Business Secretary, Vince Cable, who said, “Britain’s valuable train supply chain is renowned for excellence in an array of disciplines from train design to signal solutions. We [the UK Government] are committed to keeping the industry on track as a global leader.” At the strategy launch, RSG presented a vision statement to meet the demands of tomorrow’s railways, create jobs and boost UK exports by doubling export volumes. The implementation plan anticipates making UK rail engineering a beacon of excellence, attracting the best talent and harnessing the drive and energy of innovative SMEs in the UK supply chain.

well worth exploring for advanced engineering businesses looking for new opportunities to leverage the full value of their skills and inventiveness in the UK’s exciting rail future. Furthermore, Rail Alliance members enjoy a range of benefits including support with marketing and sales; technology transfer; rail sector market intelligence; export guidance; testing and trialling; and media management as well as strong links with relevant research capabilities and education providers.

Looking to long-term rail requirements Rail Alliance is one of the strategic partners selected to work with the Rail Supply Group (RSG) and the Department of Business, Innovations and Skills in developing a UK Rolling Stock Strategy. The RSG sets out the future requirements for UK rail so that engineering businesses in the supply chain can plan ahead, match their skills and capabilities to the broader need and arrange collaborations to leverage the best from everybody’s engineering excellence. To fulfil its role as a RSG partner, the Rail Alliance is delivering the Rail Mentor programme which is a focused initiative geared specifically for SMEs and offering an accelerated introduction into the rail supply chain.

Santander for manufacturing Supporting businesses with the finance they need to win the contracts they deserve

Most of the businesses that we talk to for this Show Guide are engineering companies but, in one respect, engineering is like any other sector; the future and outcome of any plans, the development and exploitation of innovative ideas, the implementation of better processes, even the ability to accept a large (possibly game-changing) order often comes down to finance. And that has often been a sore point with UK firms in recent years when some banks have seemed less than enthusiastic about offering a practical and reasonable finance solution to any but the largest companies. For businesses further down the supply chain who wish to leverage their skills and capabilities to contribute to engineering and manufacturing programmes at the top of the chain, finance (or lack of it) can often be the difference between winning that order and not. That’s why we’ve been especially pleased last year and again this year to welcome Santander to Advanced Engineering UK. The Bank has a refreshing and positive approach to engineering and manufacturing that has seen them partner with a host of businesses to provide that financial wherewithal that makes it possible to successfully bid for a contract or even to improve the processes and equipment in the business so that it is possible to compete for the better, more demanding opportunities. We asked Charles Garfit, Head of Manufacturing for the UK, with Santander about what the bank would like to say to businesses in the engineering sector: he speaks from an informed and positive position.

Understanding SMEs No newcomer to the challenges of running an SME himself, as Charles says, “Santander are good at employing extremely experienced bankers, but also at taking people from more diverse backgrounds and putting them into the banking arena. I have great empathy with people running an SME because I have run one myself. From the work I did in my own career, I have experience of a wide variety of different manufacturing processes and businesses. But I didn’t think twice about joining the banking sector because I was captivated and interested in the Santander story and I enjoy the passion and enthusiasm along with relishing the opportunity to help manufacturing businesses evolve.” Charles wants to convey to those running engineering and manufacturing SMEs today that Santander is, “in the marketplace for them and will go the extra mile to understand the

Charles Garfit

challenges they face to help them overcome them.” As he explained, a lot has changed, but manufacturers are still wary of the banks given the experiences they have had since 2008. That said, businesses continue to be receptive and are starting to understand Santander is in this for the long term and is a bank they can trust.

www.santandercb.co.uk/manufacturing 2015 | SHOWGUIDE

One thing that has been a huge help in delivering the support that businesses need has been the bank’s Breakthrough programme (described as Rocket fuel for business). The principle behind Breakthrough is to help businesses go further with their capabilities; with their ambitions… it is built around the

SANTANDER | 65

needs of ambitious businesses offering access to the support they need to reach their full potential. It’s a unique suite of support and expertise to help accelerate the growth plans of businesses. Charles is in no doubt that, “Breakthrough is a huge help with delivering support because it is a fresh initiative and enables us to offer SMEs what other organisations were reserving only for their largest customers. We can help them build a business and then evolve it and grow it. Whatever size a business might be, growth means survival. The search for the right balance sheet, new orders, new markets, new skills and new products is a lifelong challenge. That means exports should play a part at some stage. We love events like the AES as it gives us the chance to explain how we can help businesses prosper.” Santander is set up to help businesses in the markets where they need to sell. As Charles puts it, “It can be a very lonely old world out there for them jumping on planes and going to strange places. I have done it and know how tough it can be but through our Trade Portal and Trade Club online and our trade missions, we can really help with that, which is particularly useful to the manufacturing sector. We know that business today is all about connectivity, through our global network we can and do connect our customers with buyers and suppliers across the globe making what is often a really daunting experience much more straightforward.” Banking has changed a lot over the last few years and is now a much more personal and involved experience for SMEs. But it is also realistic about what it can and can’t do. Manufacturing has an increasingly important part to play because, from the Prime Minister downwards, everyone realises that you can’t just ‘service industry’ your way to prosperity. The sector now can stand up tall and very proud across many disciplines. It now understands what it is and what it stands for. Teamwork has a big role to play when Santander is working with companies – it has to be a two way relationship because a lot of firms are still cautious, which is understandable given what they have experienced. But, as Charles says, “Let’s make no bones about it; their prosperity is our prosperity and if we are doing it right then our figures will speak for themselves, which they do; having grown steadily over the last five or six years to make us a real force in corporate and commercial banking.” He adds: “I am passionate about my work and thoroughly

enjoy what I do and with whom I do it. I think I am very lucky to do my job and I continue to be fascinated with the things I am seeing in the manufacturing sector.” To better prepare SMEs who are looking for credit Santander has been running a series of sessions as part of the Breakthrough Moment Festivals around the country. It is all about speaking to businesses, helping them to understand how they can best work with financial institutions, encouraging them to articulate the story of their business and most of all listening.

InnovFin Further augmenting its offer in the SME Market, Santander is taking part in the InnovFin SME Guarantee which is a scheme run by the European Investment Fund (EIF) to help support innovative small and medium sized businesses, with up to 499 employees, gain access to a source of lower cost finance. If a business takes finance from a bank or financial institution through the InnovFin SME Guarantee scheme, the EIF will cover the lender by providing a guarantee on 50% of any loss they suffer (after the sale of any assets used as security for the loan) if the borrower is unable to repay the finance. Funding is available to businesses in a wide range of sectors. The scheme can be used to get a new loan for a variety of purposes but can’t be used to refinance existing debt. Some industry sectors are excluded from the scheme.

Tooling funding A great example of Santander’s approach in action would be funding for tooling. Based on a number of discussions with various manufacturers and feedback received from industry forums, it has become clear that the perception within industry is that banks are not providing sufficient support for the acquisition of tooling which inhibits growth and new products. Santander UK does have appetite to provide such funding within its existing product offering, we view it simply as part of the working capital requirement of the business; something of which we should have a detailed understanding. As an example, for the last 16 months Santander UK has provided a Tier One automotive parts producer in The Midlands with a tooling facility that allows them to fund tooling costs on day one and repay the facility when they receive payment from the OEM.

At Advanced Engineering Santander will be on Stand i65 for attendees and exhibitors who would like to know more.

The manufacturing efficiencies Siemens, through their ‘Digital Factory’ division and flexibility benefits delivered by investment in

www.siemens.co.uk 2015 | SHOWGUIDE

automation engineering can help address some of these key issues. A major consideration is the increasing demand for the continual innovation of products with shorter product lifecycles – the automotive industry is a prime example. This creates great pressures on the ability of manufacturers to achieve both flexible production schedules, as well as deliver products to market in ever shorter timescales.

How digital manufacturing works It is also the case that digital manufacturing differs from past methodologies in several respects. Recognising the above trends, Siemens embarked on the development

take to prototype and simulate products to optimise development timescales. While other automation tools can, for example, design and simulate an assembly line to support the optimisation of logistics processes and production throughput – without the need to invest significant sums up front. This type of digital capability is scalable, affordable and available across the manufacturing spectrum to the smallest SME, as well as to a large-scale production facility.

of the Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Portal. With automation systems leading the way in terms of generating production efficiencies, the portal is the industry leading software engineering framework that allows users – via integrated software tools – to complete the journey from product design and development through production planning, engineering and operational stages, all within a single engineering environment. Siemens’ TIA Portal is a prime example of a gateway to a digitalised world that coordinates the production process by integrating software and hardware. Product lifecycle management tools will, in a virtual digitalised world, design,

TIA Portal provides a type of digital capability which is scalable, affordable and available across the manufacturing spectrum to the smallest SME, as well as to a large-scale production facility. A major problem traditionally facing automation control engineers has been the limitations caused by using separate software packages because they lack consistency and integration. The TIA Portal solution tackles this fundamental issue by providing easy access to a centralised software engineering framework as a common user interface for all automation tasks. In this respect, the TIA Portal delivers a common engineering environment for PLC, HMI, SCADA, Drives and Motion Control Centre technology. At the heart of the portal lies the ability to develop and commission automation systems quickly and intuitively, reducing the traditional time consuming and costly integration of separate software packages, and speeding up the time needed to get products from the drawing board to the marketplace. The

framework provides advanced shared services across all the configuration interfaces ensuring uniform navigation for the user and a consistent system ‘look and feel’. As an example, all devices and networks in any automation system can be configured within one shared device and network editor. Project navigation, library concepts, version control, data management, project storage, diagnostics and online functions are standard features and made available to the user in the shared TIA Portal framework. This unified software development environment offers a high level of efficiency across the overall automation project and is currently comprised of programmable controllers, HMI devices, MCCs, Drives and even some Control Products. This will continue to be expanded to cover the entire Automation offering from Siemens UK & Ireland and trusted partners.

Digital manufacturing adds value to the industrial process The continued development of the TIA Portal from Siemens UK & Ireland – has seen a step change in providing manufacturers of all sizes with the means to harness the power of a seamless approach to engineering, maintenance and commissioning tasks, all within a single engineering framework. As well as offering time and cost saving benefits with estimates of a 30% reduction in engineering time, it lays the foundations for a future scalable answer to the increasingly complex demands automation components are expected to meet.

Matt Hieatt, Technical Director FlowHD are the UK VAR for XFlow software. XFlow is the next generation of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. It is a high fidelity meshless solver which changes the paradigm of CFD being an after thought in the design process. Even the most complex and messy CAD can be brought into XFlow and flow results produced in minutes of set up time. But don’t let that make you think it is a “simple” code, XFlow uses the very latest Lattice Boltzmann technology to produce highly accurate results for the most complex transient flow regimes, and this has been proven time and again with numerous case studies against standard and non standard benchmarks.

They project the contours of the to-be-positioned mats and built-in parts onto the curved surfaces of the casting mould. In so doing they indicate not only the positions of the fibre mats but also where flanges, webs, profiles and receptors have to go. This eliminates the time-consuming procedure of manual contour measurements.
