LUTON companies are being invited to apply for help to automate their procedures.
The British Automation and Robot Association (BARA) is promoting the availability of government funding to improve efficiencies. BARA says automation creates jobs.
The initiative is available to all sizes and types of manufacturers, but mainly small and medium sized enterprises.
The programme involves the government paying for an independent automation consultant to visit the premises, carry out a detailed assessment and write a report.
Mike Wilson, chairman of BARA said “The recently launched government funded Automating Manufacturing Programme will provide great assistance to companies looking to use automation to improve competitiveness and drive growth. We at BARA are aware that there are many Luton companies that would qualify and benefit.”
He added: “Together we could help make UK manufacturing some of the best in the world and create more jobs that Luton needs.”
He said it takes five minutes to apply for the funding. To apply contact grant.collier@ppma.co.uk. or phone Grant Collier on 020 8773 8111.
The government is providing up to £600,000 of funding to promote automation in manufacturing and conduct reviews.
