Sheffield-based Tinsley Bridge - a leading manufacturer of slideways, shear blades and steel-mill blades - has embarked on a project to demonstrate that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning are valuable tools to improve manufacturing productivity for SMEs. The company has joined forces with the University of Sheffield AMRC's Factory 2050, which is using AI to learn what machine usage looks like on the company's workshop floor. The aim is to create a demonstrator to show other SMEs in the Sheffield City Region just how accessible Industry 4.0 technologies are, and how they can potentially revolutionise productivity.
