CNR Services International Ltd delivers leading-edge engineering design services to a widerange of industry sectors. From concept generation, through design and optimisation, to theeffective integration into the manufacturing process, CNRs dedicated team of specialistengineers, designers and scientists help customers achieve the results they are looking for.Over the last 15 months, CNR has successfully completed a TSB-funded Proof of Marketproject and a subsequent TSB-funded Proof of Concept project which have shown theAutomated Transmission Laser Alignment System (ATLAS) system being proposed in thisfunding application will meet a very large need in todays helicopter market.ATLAS will automate helicopter transmission shaft alignment. Currently this is done usingoutdated labour intensive manual processes. ATLAS can be used by a single aircrafttechnician without the need to remove the helicopter transmission shafts. Therefore, theimpact of an ATLAS system in an already large market with accelerating growth is potentiallyhuge with users seeing significant process, operational and financial benefits.With the detailed market and customer intelligence gained from its TSB-funded activities in2013-14, CNR estimates potential sales of ATLAS to be approximately £50m even beforeconsidering the huge growth, doubling current fleet sizes, expected in the helicopter marketover the next 20 years.CNR believes it could establish a sustainable business offering OE sales, maintenance andrepair, R&D to develop on-going upgrades and performance enhancements, higher marginspares provision and contracted annual re-calibration services. A business of this size wouldexpect to employ about 50 people.ROI for this project is extremely high (x40). If successful, this project will be the bedrock fora significant growth of the business, doubling in size in each of the first five years fromcommercial launch. ATLAS is expected to create approx. 50 new jobs for CNR

CNR Services International Ltd为广泛的工业部门提供领先的工程设计服务。从概念生成，通过设计和优化，到有效集成到制造过程中，CNRs专业工程师，设计师和科学家的专业团队帮助客户实现他们正在寻找的结果。在过去的15个月里，中国北车成功完成了TSB资助的市场验证项目和随后的TSB资助的概念验证项目，该项目展示了自动变速器激光对准系统（ATLAS）本基金申请中提出的系统将满足当今直升机市场的巨大需求。2 ATLAS将使直升机传动轴自动对准。目前，这是使用过时的劳动密集型手工流程。ATLAS可由一名飞机技术人员使用，而无需拆卸直升机传动轴。因此，ATLAS系统在一个已经很大的市场中的影响是巨大的，用户可以看到显著的流程，运营和财务效益。根据2013 -14年TSB资助的活动中获得的详细市场和客户情报，CNR估计ATLAS的潜在销售额约为5000万英镑，即使在考虑到巨大的增长之前，目前的车队规模翻了一番，中国北车相信它可以建立一个可持续的业务，提供OE销售，维护和维修，研发以开发持续升级和性能增强，更高的利润率备件供应和合同年度重新校准服务。一个这样规模的企业预计雇佣大约50人。这个项目的投资回报率非常高（x40）。如果成功的话，这个项目将成为业务显著增长的基石，在商业推出后的头五年里，每年的规模都会翻一番。ATLAS预计将创造约。CNR新增50个工作岗位
