Projects
- DIGF-CRAD-07196 Remake
- Fitzpatrick, Stephen (Principal Investigator) Reimer, Andreas (Co-investigator) Adu-Amankwa, Kwaku (Researcher) Devine, Ryan (Researcher) Howie, Scott (Researcher) Mathew, Pritty (Researcher)
- 01-Jan-2025 - 31-Jan-2026
- Ayrshire 5G Innovation Region - DPMC Implementation and Use Case Development
- Reilly, John Stuart (Project Lead) Duncan, William (Researcher) Henry, Gwenole (Researcher) Howie, Scott (Researcher)
- NMIS Digital team will support the implementation of 5G Infrastructure within the Digital Process Manufacturing Centre (DPMC) in North Ayrshire and provide a showcase of technology demonstrators enabled by 5G connectivity. The project will develop demonstrators across different industry applications including lone workers, AR/IoT systems, quality control, energy monitoring, and robotics, displaying the flexibility of 5G systems in manufacturing environments. NMIS will provide a comprehensive portfolio of use cases showcasing the value of 5G in manufacturing
- 30-Jan-2024 - 31-Jan-2025
- ReMake Glasgow Innovation Accelerator
- Fitzpatrick, Stephen (Principal Investigator) Ijomah, Winifred (Research Co-investigator) Reimer, Andreas (Research Co-investigator) Adu-Amankwa, Kwaku (Researcher) Devine, Ryan (Researcher) Hicks, Calum (Researcher) Howie, Scott (Researcher) Pimentel Espirindio E Silva, Misael (Researcher)
- The ReMake Glasgow project is developing a first-of-its-kind national ReMake hub within the NMIS Digital Factory. The hub will provide the skills and technologies needed to support ambitious manufacturers of all sizes to adopt circularity and extend the life of products and parts.
The aim is to achieve a 99% reduction in CO2 compared to manufacturing from new through processes such as remanufacturing, refurbishing and repairs.
With under 2% of products manufactured in the UK currently designed and reused in this way, the ReMake hub is set to advance sustainable manufacturing by supporting companies to move towards a circular economy.
Partners in this project are:
- Boeing UK
- British Airways
- SSE Renewables
- James Howden & Company Ltd
- ATS
- Renewable Parts Ltd - 01-Jan-2023 - 31-Jan-2025
- Virtual maintenance and training of fish farms through photogrammetry and virtual reality
- Munawar, Syed Awais (Principal Investigator) Howie, Scott (Researcher)
- This feasibility study investigated the application of virtual reality (VR) and underwater photogrammetry for remote maintenance and training within the aquaculture sector. The project involved creating a "digital twin"—a photorealistic 3D model of a fish farm—which enabled personnel to conduct virtual inspections and pre-dive familiarisation. The initiative aimed to evaluate the technology's potential to reduce operational costs, minimise diver risks, and enhance training effectiveness.

- COnnected REconfigurable Factory
- Ward, Michael (Principal Investigator) McMahon, Daniel (Co-investigator) Munawar, Syed Awais (Project Lead) Howie, Scott (Researcher) Henry, Gwenole (Researcher) Duncan, William (Researcher) Liang, Sha (Researcher)
- The Connected Reconfigurable Factory (COREF) project is a Thales UK-led collaborative initiative to develop digitally connected, scalable laboratory environments that demonstrate the factory of the future. This multi-partner project involves the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS), Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), and supply chain partners to create low-risk, real-world testing environments for advanced manufacturing technologies. The project focuses on developing reconfigurable production systems that can be rapidly adapted to different manufacturing requirements, incorporating digital connectivity, automation, and Industry 4.0 principles. COREF serves as both a technology demonstrator and an industrial development platform, providing facilities and expertise to support UK supply chain advancement in smart manufacturing capabilities.
