Ahead of this year\u2019s show, Advanced Engineering, the UK\u2019s largest annual exhibition for manufacturers and supply chain professionals, has launched a new report gauging uncertainty in the engineering sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report, entitled Voice of Industry<\/em>, brings together the experiences of leading manufacturers, on topics ranging from Brexit and the skills shortage to the rise of electric vehicles and product innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Voice of Industry report delves into the unique challenges that businesses have faced in the last two years and explores the positive results they\u2019ve had in overcoming uncertainty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Manufacturers
Advanced Engineering is on the lookout for start-ups to showcase their inventions as part of its innovation zone<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It features Q&A-style interviews with senior figures in a variety of engineering businesses including Renishaw, Atlas Copco, Kawasaki Robotics and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report opens with a foreword from Mike Wilson, Managing Director of KUKA UK and Ireland as well as Chairman of the British Automation and Robot Association (BARA). In it, Wilson challenges the conventional view that uncertainty should be a fact of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe UK is well known as a source of excellence in engineering and innovation. We are the home for leading global businesses such as Rolls Royce and BAE Systems as well as many much smaller, highly creative engineering companies,\u201d explains Wilson. \u201cThe current economic climate is uncertain, but I have confidence the resilience of our engineering sector will weather the changing environment and may well become stronger as a result.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report also interviews one of these smaller companies, Xi Engineering, a digital twinning company that uses its multi-physics simulations to help businesses speed up innovation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe offer services like simulation that help our customers create accurate models that represent the real world,\u201d explains Mark-Paul Buckingham, Managing Director of Xi Engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese simulations offer a robust test-bed for companies to trial various scenarios that would take much longer if done manually. As a result, we\u2019ve helped companies innovate in a wide variety of sectors, from high-end audio and automotive to renewable energy and transport.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s Advanced Engineering show, which takes place at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham between 30th\u201331st October, 2019, will also feature an Innovation Zone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Innovation Zone will give UK start-ups the chance to exhibit for free, showcasing the latest innovations to the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
