**INTERPOSE-UK Advanced INTegratEd ciRcuit interPOsers for SEmiconductor packaging in UK** Challenge: The UK boasts innovative packaging solutions for conventional technologies but lacks access to cutting edge interposers needed for next generation chip integration. Opportunity: This project aims to bridge the gap by developing bespoke interposers, enabli...

Phoenix Scientific Industries Ltd is joined by consortium partners BAE Systems Ltd, Maher Ltd and the University of Greenwich to deliver COLDMELT 2\. The project aligns with the technology enabling 'cross-cutting' focus area within the UK Aerospace Technology Strategy, 'Destination Zero'. AIRBUS Ltd, Spirit Aerosystems Ltd, Rolls-Royce PLC and GKN GKN Aer...

Project Butterfly brings together a consortium of UK high value and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) organisations working across sectors, along with solution providers and research organisations to share best practice and demonstrate the power of I4.0 to deliver near-term impact on the road to net zero manufacturing. The climate emergency is an importan...

This project is one of several 'Flagship-Projects' that form the Digital-Supply-Chain-Innovation-Hub (**DSCI-Hub**). These testbeds will act as development-environments for new technologies and solutions - demonstration environments to help inform UK manufacturers of the state of the art, enabling testing and benefits quantification for new technology pro...

This proposal, submitted by a team comprising BAE Systems, Cory and Wight Shipyard under the Innovate UK Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition (Strand 1) is an initial feasibility study that will inform and de-risk the development and future operation of a fleet of up to 25 autonomous, self-propelled barges, powered by energy-from-waste generated by a ...

INtelligent TrustEd SuppLy ChaIn (INTELI) establishes a new methodology of supply chain collaboration by providing an improved architecture for real-time visibility of operations data across the supply chain hierarchy, enabling dynamic forecasting and predictions, predictive/prescriptive analytics, compliance and supplier transactions.

Development and qualification of disruptive large-scale laser powder-bed fusion machines (LPBF) to enable agile production of lightweight, high-performance aerospace components of up to 0.5m in scale, with a roadmap towards 1m. The machines will reduce component costs by delivering unprecedented build rates by delivering multiple laser beams, by full buil...

AQuA aims to develop cost effective UK, AM supply of high strength lightweight alloys for the Aerospace Sector and utilising unusable off-sized powder via alternative processes. The project addresses issues/barriers affecting AM powder in production use: • Maximise use of AM powder effluent from each stage of the UK AM supply chain. • Large scale componen...

Designing products collaboratively and exploiting new technologies in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) requires novel approaches to the ways engineering teams must work. In the COLIBRI project we will explore and develop new tools that exploit advances in AI/ML to improve and speed up the collaborative design environment f...

Public description Industrial Digital Technologies (IDT's) are disrupting industries across the globe. The breadth and depth of these changes herald the transformation of entire systems of production, management, and governance. There is overwhelming evidence that IDTs can provide a step change in industrial productivity(2). The Smart Connected Factory is...

The aerospace industry has pioneered the use of composites due to their strong incentive to reduce the weight of aircrafts, driven both by economic (reduced fuel consumption) and environmental benefits (reduced emissions). To maintain its competitive position in the aerospace market, the composites industry faces two major challenges: (i) improve the stru...

Icing represents a complex and expensive problem in different industrial and energy applications -- aircraft, wind turbines, power lines -- causing incidents and severe accidents. The main mitigation methods rely on mechanical breaking of the ice, electrical heating, and de-icing chemicals. These are expensive, inefficient, unreliable, and environmentally...
