Why Manufacturing is Important
• Global market worth £6.3 trillion
• UK in top 10 world manufacturers
• GVA of £130 bn (10% UK GVA)
• Half of UK Exports
• World #2 Aerospace
• 2 of top 6 Pharma’ companies UK based
• Resurgent auto industry – 84% exported
[Manufacturing GVA by CountryUnited Nations Statistics Division, Value
Added by Country, US$bn, 2010]
UK Manufacturing
• Global leader in £20 billion subsea equipment market.
And its important to Northern IrelandTotal manufacturing sales up 4.0% in current prices and 3.2% in real terms.
– Total sales worth £18.1billion in 2013/14., an increase of 4.0% over the year compared to an increase last year of 4.4% in current prices.
• Total sales are comprised of:– Sales to Northern Ireland (domestic sales).– Sales to GB.– Exports (sales to the Republic of Ireland, the Rest of Europe and the Rest of the
World).
• Sales within Northern Ireland decreased in current prices by £37million to £3.7billion – down 1.0% over the year and remaining below peak levels last reported in 2007/08.
• Sales to Great Britain increased in current prices by £244 million to £8.2 billion – up 3.1% over the year., highest level of sales to GB on record in current prices
• Exports increased by £491million (8.7%) over the year, to £6.1billion in current prices, a rise which was largely driven by an increase in sales to the Rest of the EU. After adjusting for price changes over the year, this represented an increase of 8.6% in real terms, and follows growth of 3.2% in real terms in the previous period (2011/12 - 2012/13).

High Value Manufacturing
Such potential is characterised by a combination of high R&D intensity and high growth
High value manufacturing is the application of leading-edge technical knowledge and expertise to the creation of products, production processes, and associated services which have strong potential to bring sustainable growth and high economic value to the UK. Activities may stretch from R&D at one end to recycling at the other.
HVM Definition
Innovate UK Investment Criteria
• Sector attractivenessglobal market
growth potential
UK R&D intensity, UK capacity to exploit
• Technology readiness (TRL)
• Additionality (will Innovate UK investment make a difference?)
• For HVM: national competencies in manufacturing
Future of Manufacturing: Foresight Report
Manufacturing in 2050 will look very different from today:
• capable of rapidly adapting their physical and intellectual infrastructures to exploit changes in technology
• manufacturing will adapt faster, more responsive to changing global markets and closer to customers.
Constant adaptability will pervade all aspects of manufacturing:
• research and development, innovation, production processes, supplier and customer interdependencies, and lifetime product maintenance and repair.
• products and processes will be sustainable, with built-in reuse, remanufacturing and recycling for products reaching the end of their useful lives.
• closed loop systems will be used to eliminate energy and water waste and to recycle physical waste.
Manufacturing Foresighting - EFFRA
Megatrends and manufacturing
The analysis shows that megatrends have considerable impact and drive structural changes in nearly all manufacturing sectors. These megatrends can be identified as:• Changing demographics (growing world population, aging societies,
increasing urbanization) • Globalization & future markets (BRIC and beyond) • Scarcity of resources (energy, water, other commodities) • The challenge of climate change (increasing CO2, global warming,
ecosystem at risk) • Dynamic technology & innovation (ICT and virtualisation, technology
diffusion, the age of life science, ubiquitous connectivity, sensing and digitalisation)
• Global knowledge society (know-how base, gender gap, war for talent, multiplication of data and information)
• Mass customisation (personalised customisation) • Sharing global responsibility (shift to global cooperation, growing power
of NGO´s, increasing philanthropy)
Advanced manufacturing processes
• Net shape and additive manufacturing,• Photonics-based materials processing technologies, • Shaping technology such as forming and machining,• High productivity and “self assembly” technologies• Surface engineering for smart products,• Methods for handling of parts, metrology and inspection, • Flexible Sheet-to-Sheet (S2S) and Roll-to-Roll (R2R), for plastics
electronics and large volume patterning at nano-scale, • Integration of non-conventional technologies to develop new
multifunctional or hybrid manufacturing processes
Mechatronics for Advanced Manufacturing
• Manufacturing systems are becoming smarter to generate high value (quality, productivity) while consuming less energy and generating less waste.
• They feature high levels of autonomy and cognitive capabilities, largely inspired by and making use of robotic technologies.
• Technologies required include:
–Automation
–Autonomy
–Connectivity with other processes / equipment, schedules, plans and customer requirements
–Data collection, analysis and use
Information and Communication Technologies
• Collaborative Manufacturing
• Sensors, feedback and control
• Remote operation and products as a service
• Connectivity essential
– Manufacturing processes seamlessly and bi-directionally interact with real-world objects
– on a global scale, across a variety of application domains and stakeholders thus realising the ‘Internet of Thing’s.
Other Considerations
• Advanced Materials– Developing new or revised manufacturing processes for
using new materials– Develop new processes to produce new materials at
commercial scale and cost
• Sustainability– Design for recycling and reuse– Remanufacturing– Efficient manufacturing using reduced materials, energy and
water
• New Products and Markets– Customer led development– Mass customisation– Design for manufacture
The Future of High Value Manufacturing
We asked IfM to identify:
• most important trends influencing the changing nature of manufacturing globally
• greatest challenges & opportunities to the economic competitiveness of UK manufacturing
• most promising UK emerging science, engineering & management innovations to meet these challenges & opportunities / capture value for UK
