The brief

IONA system and ORA software platform under the Strength in Places Funding innovation programme governed by UKRI Innovate UK.

The equipment will support the Advanced Machinery and Productivity Institute (AMPI) project which aims to drive innovation for the UK’s advanced machinery manufacturers, and create the new machines and engineers needed to manufacture tomorrow’s technologies.

IONA provides an integrated approach to generate previously unavailable manufacturing process data via a network of sensors.

This generates data and manufacturing insight to increase automation performance and the ORA software platform provides the data analytics required to improve the efficiency of smart factories, enabling low cost, flexible robots to be deployed on more challenging or variable applications whilst preventing costly, unplanned downtime in regular industrial automation applications.
