Vibration mapping using scanning laser vibrometer
Have you ever wanted to know what sound looks like? How do your components, machines, or structures vibrate? Laser vibrometry is equally capable of measuring subjects from small (sub mm) to large (several meters) and can resolve minute vibrations from 0.01 µm/s, all the way up to 30 m/s. The frequency spectrum covered ranges from DC velocities, across the audible frequency range and beyond, up to 2 MHz Ultrasound. We can provide qualitative animations to help you locate hidden defects, or quantitative measurements to help your R&D, without needing to attach any sensors.
workforce planning, role profiling, and defining the capabilities required for digital/AI/transformation adoption
We support manufacturing businesses through a combined capability of workforce strategy and hands-on digital transformation delivery. Our service is designed to help manufacturers adopt modern ERP systems, IoT, data analytics, automation, and AI by ensuring both the technology and the people are in place for long-term success.
Workforce Capability & Organisational Readiness
We map current skills, define future roles, and create clear workforce plans aligned to digital initiatives. This includes capability assessments, role profiling, succession planning, and detailed insights into the availability, cost, and structure of data, automation, ERP, and digital operations talent across the UK. Manufacturers often struggle to recruit or develop the people required for transformation; we give them a clear, evidence-based route.
Manufacturing Technology & Digital Operations
Our consultant delivers manufacturing-specific digital services including ERP strategy and implementation, IoT-enabled production visibility, SQL/Power BI analytics, automated KPI dashboards, and workflow optimisation using Lean principles. We also support M&A technology integration, customer service digitisation, EDI setup, GDPR readiness, and secure-by-design architectures tailored to factory networks.
End-to-End Transformation Support
With combined expertise in workforce strategy and technical delivery, we help manufacturers reduce risk, modernise operations, and build internal capability. Our approach ensures that technology investments—ERP, IoT, automation, AI, reporting, or cloud systems—are supported by the right skills, organisational design, and resourcing model.
This integrated offer creates a clear pathway to a more efficient, data-driven, and digitally confident manufacturing operation.
