Digital Manufacturing on a Shoestring

Digital Manufacturing on a Shoestring
The Institute of Manufacturing Digital Manufacturing on a Shoestring project aims to solve digital challenges for SMEs, creating solutions that offer significant value and efficiencies throughout the workplace.
Many companies are not ready for a complete digital transformation. Yet they are keen to digitalise but might not know where to begin.
Digital Manufacturing on a Shoestring has devised an affordable, easy-to-implement approach that helps companies try out small-scale digital solutions that will not disrupt core operations but can provide immediate benefits.
This simple approach shows how it is possible for small-to-medium sized companies with small budgets to capitalise on advances in technology and implement low-risk digital solutions. By engaging staff in an on-site pilot, companies can see first-hand how digitalisation can benefit their business, giving them the confidence and knowledge to further digitalise their processes.
By taking low cost, readily available digital technologies that can be implemented using a simple procedure, Shoestring can address a company’s most pressing business needs with a solution that matches each need.
