Panel Discussion: Industry 4.0 in the context of manufacturing engineering.
summary
A three‑year ePrime project (one year complete) builds a manufacturing engineering digital twin around electrified drivetrains to shave years off concept‑to‑job‑one. Deliverables include a hardware platform for testing, a virtual cell/line with PLCs and drives for virtual commissioning, CAD workflows that simplify models to protect supplier IP, and models to predict machine cycle time. Funded by APC at £5–40M (typically 50/50), the work shows faster first‑time‑through and richer supplier collaboration while accuracy, data access and adoption remain the main barriers.
