3126/JR Low Carbon Smart Factory Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) - Tender Two

The AMRC North West as part of the University of Sheffield have temdered for multiple lots within an overarching project to demonstrate the capability of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and smart technology usage cases to reduce the carbon footprint of a manufacturing site. The project will raise awareness of the latest technology and will be retro-fittable to legacy manufacturing facilities. The technology will be able to provide a tangible benefit to the carbon footprint of a manufacturing site through data capture and visualisation and / or machine cognition. The equipment / system is required to demonstrate how IIoT can be used in a manufacturing environment to understand, influence, and change the key levers in carbon reduction. A range of technologies will be implemented to understand energy usage, occupancy and asset parameters, environmental conditions, utilisation of micro grid technology and visualisation through a user-friendly dashboard. The system will need to be supported or controllable to evolve and integrate system adaptations and enlargement, to support the project goals of demonstrating the potential benefits.
