Description
4998/AM/GM Digital Passport Cell The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for a Digital Passport Cell on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, Integrated Manufacturing Group at Catcliffe, South Yorkshire. Scope of Requirement To enable our research in this area, the AMRC is inviting tenders for the design, supply and commissioning of a robotic cell on the workshop floor of our Factory 2050 building which will allow our researchers to test and develop technologies relevant to a Digital Passport. We would like to demonstrate these technologies in a cell that is designed to read and write data during the automatic disassembly of an electric motor. This is an ideal demonstration scenario as the key driver behind the introduction of Digital Passports is that they should enable greater circularity in manufacturing industries. As well as acting as a research tool the cell should also be designed to facilitate the AMRC's aim of advancing UK manufacturing by demonstrating key technologies to UK manufacturers during visits to our facility. Please note that the work of the AMRC involves exploring new technologies which have the potential to deliver benefits to UK manufacturing; we are not a manufacturing organisation looking for a production ready solution.
