Our innovative digital tools are helping manufacturers improve process sustainability.
Project Butterfly is a direct response to the urgent need to decarbonise the manufacturing industry.
It focuses on driving forward the innovation of digital technologies at the heart of manufacturing processes – with an aim to reduce environmental impact and accelerate the industry’s journey to net zero.
Funded by Innovate UK under the Made Smarter innovation challenge, the wider project consortium includes the the University of Sheffield AMRC, BAE Systems, Leonardo, Nissan, Accenture, Intellium, GKN Aerospace, Moy Park (part of Pilgrim's Europe) and University of Lincoln, UK.

As part of the project, the AMRC has developed two key tools that can help manufacturing engineers to evaluate and prioritise processes for sustainability improvement in any sector:
- The process sustainability calculator enables comparison of up to five processes with the associated resources to identify areas for improving process CO2 equivalent emissions and prioritise decarbonisation efforts, based on existing sources of data.
- The process decarbonisation guidance explains how to use the calculator with ease, and provides guidance on how to capture and leverage data sources to increase resource and energy efficiency.
