Smart Digitisation of Bed and Fine Wire Spring Manufacturing - building a predictive tool for resource/operational innovation

该项目将开发数字技术在线材卷绕制造和床身制造中的应用。Harrison Spinks是英国床和细丝弹簧制造领域的领先创新者，并获得碳中和认证。它最近在生态先进产品和工艺方面的创新显著减少了二氧化碳。现在，它希望在加工过程中的数据捕获和收集方面推动更多的创新，以识别浪费并改善能源和材料管理。这将允许大规模采用碳中性床和更宽的缓冲产品，在几个领域用弹簧技术取代泡沫。联盟合作伙伴是定制自动化控制解决方案，在机器编程语言和制造技术中心方面具有专业知识，他们在数字化工厂项目方面拥有丰富的经验。该联盟将根据哈里森·斯平克斯的生产工艺开发一种样机。此外，将为其他制造商开发一种新工具，以支持他们采用减少二氧化碳的数字化解决方案。该项目将耗时两年，并将利用团队在机器学习、网络和工业物联网技术方面的经验和专业知识。

This project will develop an application of digital technologies within wire coiling manufacturing and bed making.Harrison Spinks is the UKs leading innovator in bed and fine-wire spring manufacturing and is carbon-neutral+ accredited. Its recent innovations in ecologically advanced products and processes have reduced CO2 significantly. It now looks to drive additional innovation in data capture and harvesting from its machining processes to identify waste and improve energy and materials management. This will allow large scale take up of carbon-neutral beds and wider cushioning products, replacing foam with spring technology in several sectors.Consortium partners are Bespoke Automation Controls Solutions, with expertise in machine programming languages and the Manufacturing Technology Centre, who have deep experience in digitised factory projects.The consortium will develop a demonstrator, based on Harrison Spinks production processes. Additionally, a new tool will be developed for other manufacturers to support their take up of digitised solutions for CO2 reductions. The project will take two years and will draw on team experience and expertise in machine learning, networking and Industrial Internet of Things technologies.
