Our Industry 4.0 Revolution Is Launched!

Tinsley Bridge have teamed up with the University of Sheffield to develop innovative Industry 4.0 solutions into the manufacturing process for automotive suspension components.

The project will use cutting edge sensors and the latest data science techniques to analyse information and provide new insights into the control of manufacturing processes.

Industry 4.0 is about creating smart factories and cyber-physical systems to deliver revolutionary improvement.

The University of Sheffield are a known world leader in Engineering innovation and one of the highly prestigious Russel Group of UK universities. Their work is pioneering the application of advanced Industry 4.0 technologies, and this project will introduce these benefits into industrial and manufacturing applications. The ground-breaking project with Tinsley Bridge is grant assisted by Royal Academy of Engineering.
