With 81% of UK industries acknowledging the role of digital technologies in accessing new markets (techUK), the UK manufacturing sector is set for significant growth. The High Value Manufacturing Catapult (HVMC) and the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM) have developed PAS standards to accelerate digital adoption. These standards address critical areas such as design for digital manufacturing and intelligent data analysis. By setting best practices, they drive innovation, increase trust in technology, and cement the UK's leadership in global manufacturing.

It’s not long now until the Farnborough International Airshow (FIA) will be well underway. Capgemini has a rich history of involvement with the aerospace and defence (A&D) industry, and I always enjoy the chance events like these give us to take stock of where we are, look back at how far we’ve come and gaze ahead to the challenges that are still ahead of us. The common theme running through every aspect of our A&D vision is collaboration. It’s at the heart of how we engage with our clients, industry peers and partners, and it’s the driving force behind continued innovation, standard-setting and sustainability efforts.   If you’d like to read more about the six key areas we’ll be focussing on at #FIA2024, have a look at Capgemini’s vision for A&D: https://bit.ly/3Y6xD8c   #Aerospace #Collaboraiton #Innovation

How are we doing in the #Aerospace and #Defence sector when it comes to #DfX? With so many potential new platforms across the sectors it’s a great time to check in and ask - have we moved beyond the engineers paradise that the sector has sometimes been and into the realms of balancing commercial, supply chain and manufacturing considerations with technical decisions?
