Leading engineering firm Transicon is launching a new Industry Masterclass series. It is designed to help manufacturers address some of the sector’s most urgent challenges.
We are delighted that the Telford-based firm, which specialises in cutting-edge automated control systems, has teamed up with the Manufacturing Revenue Growth Summit and Lincoln West to deliver this programme.
Biggest pain points for manufacturers
Each masterclass will focus on a particular pain point affecting UK manufacturers. These include rising operational costs, skills shortages, ageing machinery and the increasing need for automation and digitalisation.
Six global OEMs have signed up to take part in the series of webinars: Stäubli, Nidec, Bosch Rexroth, Danfoss, Siemens and ABB.
Each webinar will explore a single challenge in depth. Experts from the guest manufacturer and Transicon will share practical solutions and real-world case studies that demonstrate how manufacturers have overcome similar issues.
A critical time for UK manufacturing
Transicon’s head of business development for the north Laura Hayton said the series comes at a critical time for UK manufacturing: “Manufacturers are facing rising costs, energy pressures, increasing automation complexity and growing cybersecurity risks to name but a few of the challenges facing the sector.
“Our aim is to build a genuinely valuable learning platform where manufacturers can access clear, practical insight and solutions.
“The masterclass series brings together the real-world integration expertise of Transicon with the specialist knowledge of our global technology partners to create a space where manufacturers can gain the confidence to make informed decisions.
“We aim to help manufacturers bridge the gap between the potential of the technology which is now shaping our working lives and the on-the-ground results they are experiencing.
“By doing so, we hope to unite the very best expertise across the ecosystem to help strengthen, modernise and elevate UK manufacturing.”
The series opens with global industrial and mechatronic solution provider Stäubli joining Transicon on March 17 to look at the problem of rising operational costs, labour shortages and the use of automation and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) for efficiency.
A second seminar with Japanese manufacturer Nidec in June will look at solving unclear digital strategy and the issue of investment paralysis. Further sessions with Bosch and Siemens will examine skills shortages and cyber security respectively.
Transicon was set up in 1967. It works with manufacturers such as BMW, Tata Steel and Muller Dairy. The company has built a reputation for its work manufacturing bespoke automation and control systems incorporating AC Drives, DC Drives, Servo Drives, PLC and SCADA Systems.
