ADVANCED Manufacturing processes

Hi-tech manufactuing has been described as the ‘new-collar’ workforce because of its ability to blur all the lines between traditional blue-collar and white-collar thinking.

Working across interdisciplinary teams is essential for developing technology integration solutions, optimizing processes and debugging high-risk, prototype automation systems.

Moving people and projects forward requires soliciting and sharing timely, accurate, and data-driven feedback to overcome the unique challenges of the prototype production environment.

This project focused on pushing technological limits to pioneer micro-assembly processes previously only achieved by hand, and was later awarded the Assembly System of the Year designation in 2021.

The project’s formal announcement can be found here, along with a video detailing the journey and challenges of assembling parts equivalent to the size of a grain of rice!
