Advanced Machinery & Productivity Initiative - creating the new machines, technology and people needed to manufacture tomorrow’s products

先进机械和生产力计划将通过英国设备制造商实现发明，实现创新和采用新机械和机器人技术。该计划通过设计，开发和制造现有和新兴工业部门所需的智能机械，机器人和合作系统来实现经济繁荣。围绕英格兰北部现有的能力和卓越的研究，AMPI将成为行业，地方政府，高等教育机构和英国国家物理实验室之间的合作伙伴关系。它将为先进机械创新的蓬勃发展提供一个安全的空间、技术资源和技能管道，为英国本地经济和英国工业出口带来可持续的影响。该伙伴关系将带来英国实现经济增长雄心所需的进步和可利用的技术成果，实现净零碳排放等目标所需的弹性供应链和技术。它将为企业提供尖端的研发、专业知识和设施，以帮助解决创新挑战。英格兰北部在复杂机械的设计、开发和制造方面拥有活跃和高度集中的工业专业知识。该机械用于广泛的行业，以制造产品，如药品，食品和饮料，以及汽车零部件。英格兰北部拥有一些世界领先的工业研究学者，包括机器人，自动化，计量和人工智能。英国机械行业成立了一个合作工作组，旨在建立一个协调一致的立场，以提供一个持久的创新和合作机制，同时开发可持续经济增长所需的下一代技能。从长远来看，AMPI将刺激和支持英国机械制造业的快速增长，因为它过渡到高度集成的数字解决方案，包括复杂的自动化和自主机器人系统。预计将在10年内将英国的出口能力提高到40亿英镑，创造3万多个高价值制造业就业岗位。

The Advanced Machinery & Productivity Initiative will enable invention, realise innovation, and adoption of new machinery and robotics through UK equipment manufacturers. The programme enables economic prosperity through the design, development and manufacture of intelligent machinery, robotic and cooperative systems demanded by existing and emerging industrial sectors. Centred around existing capabilities and research excellence across the North of England, AMPI will be a partnership between industry, local government, higher education institutions and the UK's National Physical Laboratory. It will provide a secure space, technical resources and skills pipeline needed for advanced machinery innovation to flourish, delivering a sustainable impact on its own local economy and that of UK industry export.The partnership will deliver an outcome of progressive and exploitable technologies that are needed for the UK to realise its ambitions for economic growth, a resilient supply chain and technologies needed to deliver targets such as net zero carbon emissions. It will provide businesses with access to cutting-edge R&D, expertise and facilities to help solve innovation challenges.The North of England has an active and high concentration of industrial expertise in the design, development and manufacture of complex machinery. The machinery is used in a wide range of industries to manufacture products such as pharmaceuticals, food and drink, and automotive components. The North of England has some of the world's leading academics in industrial research, including robotics, automation, metrology and artificial intelligence. The UK Machinery sector has formed a collaborative working group to develop a coherent position to deliver a lasting mechanism to innovate and cooperate, while developing the next generation of skills needed for sustained economic growth.In the longer term AMPI will stimulate and support rapid growth the UK's machinery manufacturing sector as it transitions to highly integrated digital solutions with sophisticated automated and autonomous robotic systems. It is expected to grow the UK capability to a £4bn UK export capacity within 10 years establishing over 30,000 high value manufacturing sector jobs.
