Expert support and advice for Welsh manufacturers to adopt digital technologies


Richard Morgan (UWTSD) explains the SMART Digital Accelerator project

WHAT

智能数码行业的前女友的加速器是一个团队pert advisers who work with manufacturers in Wales to help them identify the right technology to boost their bottom line.

The project is funded by Welsh Government, delivered by University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) and supported by the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre Cymru (AMRC Cymru). There is no financial cost to the participating business.

WHY

Manufacturing is integral to the future wellbeing of Wales. We need to ensure our manufacturing industry is prosperous, efficient, resilient and thriving.

With so many new technologies available, it can be difficult to identify which ones will be right for your business, helping you solve the problems you face now and in the future. But with the support of SMART Digital Accelerator, you can capitalise on new opportunities, grow as an organisation and improve competitiveness.

This valuable opportunity for manufacturers provides access to a diverse team of talented and experienced experts drawn from industry and academia.

HOW

Our programme follows three main stages:

  1. Understand your current position and future plans
  2. Establish what is stopping you from achieving these plans
  3. Recommend technology that is appropriate for your business

Our team will visit your company over a mutually convenient timeframe, working with you to develop a clear understanding of your current circumstances and the operational challenges you face.

We’ll then identify where digital technologies could be deployed to help address these challenges.

WHO

Our team includes experts from UWTSD, AMRC Cymru and Welsh businesses.

We work in collaboration with each other and the Welsh Government to help organisations like yours achieve real and positive change.
