A key limiting factor to the UK’s current strategy of expanding its high value manufacturingsector is the supply of ably skilled workers. Highly skilled engineers and technicians arebecoming harder to find and this will be exacerbated in the future by the high number retiringover the next ten years (baby boom of the late 1940-50’s).Advanced Aerospace Assembly Ltd. (A3) has realised through innovative research that theintegration of two technologies with the addition of intelligent tools and sensors will create anew product that enables engineering staff to carry out complex part assembly operations witha reduced number of errors. Optical and laser projection systems both display manufacturinginformation directly onto the part. The optical system can show a great deal of informationacross a vast area, with different colours and the laser system can highlight edges on the partvery accurately.The new product will directly guide an unskilled worker through a complex manufacturingtask, utilising digital sensors to ensure that the probability of a mistake is at a minimum. Thetechnician will be able to work in an environment where the necessary manufacturinginformation is clearly projected directly onto the part or workstation. Critical processmeasurement data such as torque values and flushness etc will be automatically recorded andlogged by the integration of intelligent tools into the system. This would assist manufacturingcompanies in reducing errors and enable new workers to quickly gain the required skills.The key objective of this proof of market is to assess the commercial viability of theIntelligent Work System (IWS), to establish the full extent of the UK, EU and global marketsand to gain a thorough understanding of the real needs and requirements of key stakeholders,potential partners and customers. The early mapping of the market opportunities willsignificantly accelerate the development and realisation of the product.

英国当前扩大其高价值制造业策略的关键因素是供应熟练的工人。高技能的工程师和技术人员正在更难找到，这将在未来的十年内被大量的退休人员加剧误差数量减少。光学和激光投影系统均直接在零件上显示制造信息。光学系统可以在广阔的区域显示大量信息，具有不同的颜色，激光系统可以准确地突出该部分的边缘。新产品将直接通过复杂的制造任务指导非熟练的工人，并利用数字传感器来确保错误的可能性最少。 Thetechnician将能够在必要的制造信息直接投射到零件或工作站的环境中工作。关键的过程计算数据（例如扭矩值和冲洗等）将自动记录并通过将智能工具集成到系统中并被录制。这将有助于制造公司减少错误，并使新工人能够快速获得所需的技能。该市场证明的关键目标是评估智能工作系统（IWS）的商业可行性，以建立英国，欧盟和全球市场的全部范围，以便对重要的利益相关者的实际需求和潜在的伙伴和潜在的伙伴和客户的真正需求和要求。市场机遇的早期映射将大幅度地加速产品的开发和实现。
