Data-driven Design and Manufacturing Colab (D3M_Colab)

格拉斯哥地区和整个苏格兰的制造商越来越认识到，在设计和制造中有效利用数据将转变为生产率，缓解能源危机，并实现净零目标。他们正在通过提高工程师技能和招聘数据科学家来应对这一机遇。然而，即使是大公司也报告了在招聘、留住和有效支持数据科学团队方面存在的问题，这些团队拥有足够的临界质量，在与其他行业竞争时需要保持世界级的能力。对于经常无法证明聘请全职数据专家的中小企业来说，情况更加困难。该项目将把苏格兰国家制造业研究所(NMI)专注于行业的数据和设计团队与斯特拉斯克莱德大学工业信息学集群(IIC)的研究人员和学生结合起来，创建数据驱动的设计与制造合作实验室(D3M\_Colab)，这是一种开放的工业参与方法，增强和提升格拉斯哥制造商的内部数据科学和设计能力，并降低新技术的部署风险。在以下理念的指导下，最有效的数据科学和设计能力需要直接嵌入到行业中。D3M\_Colab将专注于四个领域：*通过提供技能和毕业生“温室”安置计划在公司内部建立能力；*通过NMI和IIC专家的协作支持、双向借调和与创新技术供应商的密切合作来增强公司内部的现有能力；*通过针对特定公司要求(大型企业和中小企业)的最终用户定义的高级设计和分析项目来增强能力；以及*通过‘制造沙盒’降低创新和数据驱动的转型风险，公司的物理和数字基础设施可以复制，从而提供一个可以开发多种解决方案而对生产没有影响的环境。

Manufacturers in the Glasgow region, and across Scotland, increasingly recognise that effective use of data in design and manufacturing will be transformational to productivity, mitigating the energy crisis, and attaining net-zero targets. They are responding to this opportunity by upskilling engineers and recruiting data-scientists. However, even large companies report issues recruiting, retaining, and effectively supporting data-science teams with sufficient critical mass required to maintain world-class capabilities when competing with other sectors. The situation for SMEs, who often cannot justify employing a full-time data expert, is even more difficult.This project will combine the industry-focused data and design teams at the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) with the researchers and students in the Industrial Informatics Cluster (IIC) at the University of Strathclyde to create a Data-Driven Design & Manufacturing Colab (D3M\_Colab), an open approach to industrial engagement, augmenting and upskilling Glasgow manufacturers' in-house data science and design capabilities and de-risking deployment of new technologies.Guided by the philosophy that to be most effective data science and design capabilities need to be directly embedded into industry, the D3M\_Colab will focus on four areas:* Creating internal capability within companies through delivery of a skills and graduate 'hothouse' placement programme,* Enhancing existing capability within companies through collaborative support from NMIS and IIC experts, bi-directional secondments, and close cooperation with innovative technology venders,* Augmenting capabilities through end-user defined advanced design and analytics projects tailored to specific company requirements (large enterprises and SMEs), and* De-risking innovation and data-driven transformation with 'Manufacturing Sandboxes' where companies' physical and digital infrastructure can be replicated, providing an environment where multiple solutions can be developed with zero impact on production.
