Enhanced Low Cost Automation Technology (ELCAT)

ELCat为发展集成制造系统领域的技能提供了一个绝佳的机会。未来几年，需要对集成制造系统进行重大投资，以确保未来的工作能够在英国具有竞争力，但在这一领域缺乏本地专业知识。通过与巴斯大学和诺丁汉大学的合作，以及与在制造技术方面拥有领先能力的Exechon企业的合作，GKN航空航天公司将在ELCat项目的员工队伍中开发这些能力。

ELCAT presents a prime opportunity to develop skills in the field of integrated manufacturing systems.Significant investment in integrated manufacturing systems will be necessary over coming years to ensure that future work can be competitively carried out in the UK, but there is a shortage of local expertise available in this field. By partnering with the universities of Bath and Nottingham, and also with Exechon Enterprises, who have leading capabilities in manufacturing technologies, GKN Aerospace will develop these capabilities within its workforce in the ELCAT project.
