DIGITALIZATION IN MANUFACTURING


Making the case for digital


D


igital manufacturing technologies have the potential to transform manufacturing in the UK, increasing effi ciency and profi ts for businesses and providing the answer to the UK’s productivity conundrum - why we are lagging so far behind

BSI has for some years been working with a number of other organizations to make the case for digital manufacturing and overcome some of the concerns behind this reluctance. BSI’s Manufacturing Sector Lead, Ben Sheridan said: “The


big driver for introducing digital manufacturing is increasing productivity, which has never really recovered from the 2008 fi nancial crisis. Around 75% of UK businesses have below average productivity compared to international competitors.”
