Digitalisation Roadmap

Overview

​

The project will be delivered over a period of nine months and we plan on engaging with as many people as possible from across multiple sectors alongside the Automotive Industry, to capture best practice.

The Digitalisation Roadmap will replace the previous Virtual Product Engineering Roadmap.

Industry wide survey

​

As part of our wider engagement, a cross-sectoral survey has been conducted to understand the current level of knowledge and capability of UK manufacturing in the deployment of digitalisation within product development processes. The survey is a key part of our research and has captured insights from various sectors in the industry. 

​

We would like to thank everyone who took the time to participate. The results will be shared with all participants and published on our website at the start of the new year. Stay tuned...

1-2-1 Interview campaigns

​

A campaign of interviews with teams from across the automotive, manufacturing and academic sectors has been conducted, These have helped help inform and contextualise our discussions during workshops, shared best practice from other sectors to support our plans, and provided additional supporting information for presentation on the roadmap.
