Digital Enterprise has been featured in the latest issue of Manufacturing & Engineering Magazine (MEM), one of the UK’s leading titles for the engineering and manufacturing sector.

In the feature, Programme Manager Suzanne Bradbury explores why West Yorkshire’s engineering firms are increasingly turning to digital investment not just to improve internal efficiency – but to win work. The piece examines how “joined-up data” is becoming the defining factor in whether businesses can compete for high-value contracts, meet modern supply chain demands, and demonstrate the kind of digital credibility that today’s buyers expect.

The article draws on real examples of businesses supported through Digital Enterprise grants, from AI-powered leak detection in the utilities sector, to precision manufacturers using digital quality control to break into Tier-1 supply chains and grow export turnover from 1% to 10%.

 

“When productivity stalls, it’s rarely down to the people on the shop floor. More often, the real issue is that the data just isn’t joined up.”

– Suzanne Bradbury, Programme Manager, Digital Enterprise
