Innovative Manufacturing Challenges for Policymakers Seminar on New Manufacturing, Villa Manin, Passariano, Italy November 27, 2015
Address by Peter Marsh Author, “The New Industrial Revolution: Consumers, Globalization and the End of Mass Production” www.petermarsh.eu www.madeherenow.com @petermarsh307
Opportunities in “new manufacturing” What can policymakers do? Educate
Identify Promote
Educate by discussing the new tools, new opportunities
Engineered Arts, Cornwall- robots for social interaction & entertainment
Role models: Luxottica’s story involves supply/information chains linking Italy & world
China expansion a key part of the Luxottica story (Dongguan City plant)
Look for colourful companies and tell people about them: Winzeler Gear (Chicago)
Identification: the power of example - Prima Industrie (Italy)
Monocrom of Spain: creator of multi-use lasers
Monocrom lasers: in use from top right, sorting metal rubbish (Shredsorter project); heat treatment of steel (Jo Controls car seats); eye surgery (Lutronic)
Promotion: encourage clusters/academic links – as in Odense in Denmark (robotics)
Universal Robots , Odense with Esben Østergaard, co-founder
Map companies’ growth – look for connections
•
Odense robotics network
Safeguard craft skills where appropriateGoppion, global leader in museum cases (Italy)
Protecting assets with high-tech displays
Goppion cases: Museo Egizio, Turin
Support talented individuals: Ricardo Simian of Switzerland uses 3D printing to make 16th centurystyle cornets
Encourage connections: Next Scan in Belgium leader in ultra-fast lasers
Next Scan (Belgium): Laser Drilling system, produces 50,000 holes/sec; each hole about 30 micrometres wide
Collaboration at work: small laser groups in Europe (Appolo programme)
Do more to create jobs from R&D ventures such as Catapult: more than 100,000 jobs in life sciences in Massachusetts (25pc in manufacturing)
Building great companies can sometimes take a long time: Aveva in UK and ESI (Engineering Systems International) in France
Areva: left, a view of the CAD Centre where it started in 1967. ESI was started in 1973. Now they are leaders in plant/engineering prototyping software and each employ over 1,000 people
1998 paper Sensors and Communication: Lamp-posts on the Internet
Prof Andy Hopper Dept of Engineering University of Cambridge
• Prof Andy Hopper • Dept of Engineering • University of Cambridge
17 years on, Hopper’s ideas are working: Ubisense (Cambridge) uses ‘lamppost’ thinking to track objects eg in factories
Ubisense chairman – Andy Hopper, head of Cambridge Computer Laboratory
…and engineers are indeed putting sensors on to lampposts
