Monitor Coatings and TRL9 are both surface engineering companies with customers from all key industry sectors both in the UK and abroad. Over the last 5 years, with the support from Innovate UK, both companies have developed game changing technologies that are shared, through technology transfer licenses, to customers and competitors alike. Such outward transfer of technology has become an important dimension in our corporate strategies and has created a highly interdependent ecosystem between MCL, TRL9 and the organisations currently using our technologies.Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, most of the work is currently done remotely. However, in the absence of sophisticated digital remote assistance and monitoring tools the quality of technical and service support to our licensees is extremely compromised. This in turn has causes disruption within the supply chain affecting several UK companies.**Value Proposition:** The proposed concept is a flexible system that makes quality management, training and troubleshooting easier by connecting and automating the coating application activities throughout the ecosystem. Live and historic spray data will be available to a database enabling issues that affect quality to be quickly identified and resolved centrally-even across global operations and into the supplier network.The key value proposition of the digital twin is its ability to combine real-time data, physical dependency models and intelligence from different platforms to simulate, predict and improve assets and E2E processes.**Equality, diversity and inclusion**:Unlike the traditional male dominated surface engineering industry; IoT and Digital Manufacturing presents itself naturally as a genderless and inclusive sector.**Environment:** Thermal spray is a viable alternative to carcinogenic hard chrome plating. The proposed platform will offer a non-destructive coating testing method minimising the waste disposal during cutting and polishing of samples and will result in less part rejections and reworks across all plants using this technology.

Monitor Coatings和TRL 9都是表面工程公司，客户来自英国和国外的所有关键行业。在过去的5年里，在Innovate UK的支持下，两家公司都开发了改变游戏规则的技术，并通过技术转让许可证与客户和竞争对手共享。这种向外转移技术已成为我们企业战略的重要方面，并在MCL、TRL 9和目前使用我们技术的组织之间建立了一个高度相互依赖的生态系统。由于COVID-19旅行限制，目前大部分工作都是远程完成的。然而，由于缺乏先进的数字远程协助和监控工具，我们向被许可人提供的技术和服务支持的质量受到极大影响。这反过来又导致供应链中断，影响到几家英国公司。价值主张：** 拟议的概念是一个灵活的系统，通过连接和自动化整个生态系统中的涂层应用活动，使质量管理，培训和故障排除更容易。实时和历史喷涂数据将可用于数据库，从而能够快速识别并集中解决影响质量的问题，即使是在全球运营和供应商网络中。数字孪生的关键价值主张是能够将来自不同平台的实时数据、物理依赖模型和智能结合起来，以模拟、预测和改进资产和E2 E流程。**平等、多样性和包容性 **：与传统的男性主导的表面工程行业不同，物联网和数字制造业自然呈现出无性别和包容性的特点。环境：** 热喷涂是致癌硬Chrome电镀的可行替代品。拟议的平台将提供一种非破坏性涂层测试方法，最大限度地减少切割和抛光样品过程中的废物处理，并将减少使用该技术的所有工厂的零件拒收和返工。
