The Smart Manufacturing Accelerator (SMA) is a framework for delivering integrated manufacturing and supply chain solutions enabled by the application of industrial digital technologies. The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) can deliver complete factory in a box (FIAB) manufacturing system solutions, or elements of the industrial digital technologies therein, through the SMA for new customers and applications.

The SMA has been developed by the MTC in collaboration with industry and academia through the Energy Research Accelerator programme funded by Innovate UK. The SNA provides you with guidance on your journey through the application of industrial digital technologies.

The SMA can assess and evaluate your manufacturing and supply chain needs. Utilising the expertise of the MTC and working with leading industrial technology providers, the SMA helps plan, design, implement innovative manufacturing, and supply chain solutions.
