What is the Smart Manufacturing Data Hub?
The Smart Manufacturing Data Hub (SMDH) is supporting small and medium-sized manufacturers across the UK to become more competitive and productive through the power of data-driven technologies.
Through the programme, companies across various manufacturing sectors can access expert guidance, funding and the development of digital solutions, allowing them to explore and evaluate their existing processes, make productivity improvements and operational cost savings, de-risk investments and become more digitally aware and enabled.
What is the Hartree Centre’s role in the programme?
The Hartree Centre team is responsible for the development of the SMDH Virtual Hub, a cloud-hosted compute platform which includes:
- Trusted Research Environments for the secure analysis of SME manufacturing data
- A Data Exchange Platform for sharing of manufacturing datasets and insights
- Development of visualisation tools and dashboards
- A live data-streaming platform
- A community platform for UK manufacturing SMEs
Through SMDH, the Hartree Centre also provides UK manufacturing SMEs with access to training, business support, data science experts and software engineers who work with them to establish new data-driven processes and systems, unlock new decision-making insights from their data and improve their digital maturity.
