Using technology to verify your products faster and cheaper
In a competitive market, manufacturers are under pressure to deliver high-quality products faster, at lower cost and with less waste than ever before. This is happening alongside a rapid increase in product complexity, novel designs and expectations for extended life and circularity.
In the manufacturing environment, quality issues can be discovered late in the process, creating costly bottlenecks and delaying product delivery or new product launch. That’s the danger of regarding assurance as an afterthought.
Bring your product to market faster
At the AMRC, we de-risk the verification process by moving assurance from the end of the line into the heart of the manufacturing flow. We help you adopt technology that doesn't just check for errors but prevents them from occurring in the first place – ensuring your products are compliant, safe and reliable.
Actionable data: We specialise in capturing and presenting data that you can use to improve your product and/or process. By identifying potential issues early in the cycle, we ensure you solve problems before they slow down your production.
Work with the experts: Our engineers and scientists have industry experience and are experts in the field of measurement, inspection,quality and data science, acting as an extension of your team to solve your most complex verification challenges.
Support focused on your product: We'll quickly understand your challenges and industry requirements, providing support to identify a suitable off-the-shelf solution or develop and de-risk a customised solution, ensuring your product meets its specification.
Our experts can help whatever size your company. We developed bespoke measurement technology for large OEM’s such as Rolls-Royce to verify machining processes. We also work with startup companies like K3 Metrology to identify new applications for tracking robots using the Metralis system, providing the technical capability and confidence required to move a product from prototype to commercialisation.
FAQs
From large-volume metrology to portable metrology, we'll work with you to pinpoint problem areas and examine your manufacturing process and demonstrate where analytical tools can improve your capability. This can include automated detection of out-of-spec components, either in-process or at end-of-line.
We can improve the accuracy of robots in an automation cell, using sensors and measurement systems to control your robot in-process and improve their performance, allowing them to tackle more complex tasks or enable productivity improvements.
We use advanced in-process technology such as non-destructive testing (NDT) and non-destructive evaluation (NDE) to automate quality control and ensure products are manufactured right first time. Using non-intrusive sensors, high-speed connectivity, computational intelligence, process certification and real-time adaptive control, we can reduce waste and avoid scrapping high-value components.
We can test your machining process in our labs without causing disruption to your operations. Using systems such as X-ray diffraction, we have developed methodology to reduce residual stress and damage to material surfaces during the manufacturing process.
Make assurance work for your business
We de-risk new product developments. If you hit a bottleneck, we can solve it by integrating technology such as non-contact scanners to provide adaptive feedback that improves the quality of your component.
All trials are conducted in our own state-of-the-art facilities, avoiding disruption to your existing operations. At the end you’ll have a bespoke process you can start using immediately.
We are experts in managing and presenting data. It’s not just about capturing complex data — it’s about using tools like digital twins and dashboarding to present that data clearly so you can use it to make decisions. We’re at the forefront of this field, looking at new techniques, new processes and new technologies. All of this knowledge is fed back to the companies we work with to solve their specific challenges and speed up product development.
Whether it’s lean manufacturing or AI, our broad range of experience and huge supply network means we can give you trusted, independent advice that works. In short, we’re good at getting things done.
