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缠绕制造和床铺制造中的应用。哈里森·斯宾克斯是英国床铺和细丝弹簧制造领域的领先创新者，并获得碳中性认证。该公司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。该公司现在希望在其加工过程中的数据捕获和收获方面推动更多创新，以识别浪费并改善能源和材料管理。这将使碳中性床和更广泛的缓冲产品得到大规模应用，在几个行业用弹簧技术取代泡沫。财团的合作伙伴是拥有机器编程语言专业知识的Bespoke Automation Controls Solutions和在数字化工厂项目方面拥有丰富经验的制造技术中心。该财团将基于哈里森·斯宾克斯的生产工艺开发一个演示程序。此外，还将为其他制造商开发一种新工具，以支持他们采用二氧化碳减排的数字化解决方案。该项目将耗时两年，将利用机器学习、网络和工业物联网技术方面的团队经验和专业知识。

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.
