Written by David Baskett | Nov 1, 2019 12:00:47 PM

The Factory in a Box (FIAB) demonstrator is hitting the road on its maiden voyage.

Leaving its home at the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) it will make its way up the Liverpool to appear at the upcoming Smart Factory Expo on 13-14th November.

We were honoured to work alongside the MTC on the development of the FIAB, a rapidly deployable, remotely managed, modular manufacturing supply chain solution enabled by industrial digital technologies.

As part of the Smart Manufacturing Accelerator (SMA); a framework for delivering integrated manufacturing and supply chain solutions, the FIAB was developed by the MTC and the Energy Research Accelerator programme and funded by Innovate UK.

 

So why not head to the Smart Factory Expo to find out more

Taking place at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool, the Smart Factory Expo will showcase manufacturing agility, innovation and thinking.

During the event, live demonstrations of the Factory in a Box will take place on stand D100 (day one - 11:00 and 15:00 & day two – 10:30 and 13:30) so that you can find out more about how the FIAB was developed.

You'll even find the odd member of the SolutionsPT team about on the day if you want to hear about our involvement in the project and the solutions we offer to help you to accelerate your digialisation journey.
