Made Smarter Awards recognise electronics manufacturers
Summary
The scheme has been launched to mark the fourth anniversary of the pioneering Made Smarter adoption programme, a government-funded and industry-led initiative helping SME manufacturers digitalise, decarbonise, and drive growth. One hundred and fifty-eight businesses, representing every part of the North West and a diverse range of sectors, have been recognised for their committed approach to digital transformation. Deyrick Allen, Managing Director, said: "We were one of the first companies to get involved in the North West programme when it was launched four years ago and we continue to be vocal advocates of the multitude of benefits digital transformation offers the manufacturing industry. Brainboxes, designs, manufactures, and ships electronics products globally for a variety of uses including by the British Antarctic Survey and in the Large Hadron Collider. We are delighted to receive a Gold Award, and thanks to the funding and expertise from the programme, we’ve been able to accelerate our digital strategy, step-up our process improvement, and achieve some truly amazing results during a challenging time for the industry.” Atec Engineering Solutions used Made Smarter to create a digital transformation strategy, mapping out a roadmap of key challenges and solutions, before investing in a project to integrate its systems across the shopfloor.
