an increased quantity of high-quality, more sustainable buildings, which improve construction project safety and are also easier to build..
It is a big step on a journey that is a direct result of support and collaboration between UK government, key industry players and a new supply chain.. All the learnings from the Sumner Street project will be fed back into the work of the CIH, continuing the virtuous cycle; this initiative was promoted by government at the start, and is now demonstrating how that initial support is bearing fruit and will continue to do so..It is through collaborative approaches like this between government and the private sector that we can achieve value-driven transformation of the sector and bring enormous benefit to the built environment and society more broadly.. On 8 July 2020, Chancellor Rishi Sunak committed funding to modern methods of construction in his Plan for Jobs..
The story continues.The use of robotics in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry is very appealing, mainly because of the increase in productivity and quality that automation is expected to achieve..In order to fully realise these benefits, though, the industry must first question which of our current processes should be automated and which should be re-thought..Many technologies, such as 6-axis industrial robotic arms, have not yet been fully explored, due to:.
The complexity involved in construction processes.The requirement of specialist robotic programming skills.
Technical and financial risks that limit the possible uses of robotic arm technology.
To address these issues and to connect robotic technology to Bryden Wood’s ‘Platform Approach’ to Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA), our Creative Technologies team has developed F.R.A.C.The future of pharmaceutical manufacturing:.
A significant focus is on the concept of miniaturisation and continuous processing as part of a new paradigm in drug manufacturing.This approach not only reduces the environmental footprint and costs but also enhances safety and quality by enabling smaller, more controlled, and flexible production processes.. 5.
Barriers and opportunities for change:.Finally, Adrian discusses the systemic and regulatory barriers to adopting these new manufacturing technologies but also highlights the compelling need for change driven by the demand for affordable, sustainable medicines.
