Welcome to Industry 4.0
DJ Assembly were looking for support to purchase Industry 4.0 technology and improve their operations. They contacted Louise Saw, Business Growth Manager at City of York Council, who had previously referred them to PAPI and Digital Enterprise schemes. Louise connected them with Mike Pennington of York & North Yorkshire Growth Hub.
Mike played a crucial role in securing the Made Smarter grant for the Detech purchase. This advanced equipment boasts superior speed, functionality, and precision, surpassing the capabilities of their previous machinery. The new machine will operate for 16 hours a day, improving the company’s production capacity and turnover.
“The Made Smarter programme is a great resource for our company,” stated Walter. “The guidance and support we have received from Louise Saw and Mike Pennington has been invaluable.”
