Impending Technological Change for Industry and Commerce

Current Status

Across the North West region within each council area 11% to 20% of all jobs are in manufacturing industry

Around 25,000 manufacturing jobs in the North West region and industry needs support to remain competitive

Innovation and Productivity are the ultimate challenges and critical for company survival –CIDRA will facilitate companies to achieve this.

What will CIDRA do? #1

• A source of advanced expertise in the five core technologies in an industrial and commercial context for the benefit of N.I industry

• A template model factory demonstrating agile manufacturing, integrating artificial intelligence, IIoT, robotics, automation, and digital communications into industrial manufacturing process

• A facility to allow industry, to see, evaluate and gain hands-on experience in terms of what digital technologies can do for their company (a Digital Transformation Demonstrator)

• A facility for evaluation of designs, rapid implementation and testing of prototypes

• A facility for continuous professional development and skills upgrading for the existing workforce

What will CIDRA do? #2

A testbed for research and development in industrial digitalisation, robotics and automation for manufacturing and commerce.

A Centre that builds upon the extensive expertise in artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics in the Centre of Excellence in Intelligent Systems at UU Magee campus (the Intelligent System Research Centre)

Addresses innovation challenges with the option for industry to be part of the delivery, thus accelerating new skills gained through accredited professional development

A regional hub from where University-Industry partnerships can be grown

A location for ongoing technological developments in partnership with industry and commerce – not just manufacturing industry.

Right Treatment - Right Person - Right TimePeople Living Longer - Need to Live Well for Longer

Setting the Context…..

Personalised Medicine – a Global Priority !For Disease Prevention - Better Diagnosis – Better Treatment

• Globally 30-50% Patients don’t respond to a given treatment

• Elderly Globally – largest users of healthcare & prescription drugs

• Number people over 85 could increase by 58% by 2020

• Number people over 75 could increase by 40% by 2020 - 30% of population could be concurrently on 5-10 medicines.

• Prescribing cascade in the elderly (polypharmacy) – demands on healthcare rising

GLOBALLY THIS IS NOT SUSTAINABLE – PERSONALISED MEDICINE IS A GLOBAL PRIORITY
