Industry 4.0 being the convergence of digital, physical and biological assets in manufacturing.

The Northern Automotive Alliance Awards showcase the successes of vehicle manufacturers, supply chain companies and service providers in the region. The ceremony was held on The 9th Of November 2017 at the Mere Hotel Golf Resort Knutsford.
The judges acknowledged that Metis Automation had a clear, client-driven requirement that resulted in a practical, real-life application that has enabled their client to win new business with large OEM customers. Metis Automation won because their project made the biggest positive impact on the business of a manufacturing company.

The NAA stated that: “The winners of the Northern Automotive Alliance (NAA) Awards 2017 show that there is real progress being made in the region’s automotive sector, in factories harnessing the latest Industry 4.0 technologies.”

Metis Automation helped a manufacturer of control valves, to transform their production processes by allowing them to offer digital data products to industry leading digger manufacturers. Metis Automation’s software shares production line data with the digger manufacturer which enables an automatic calibration of the control valve in the digger. This eliminates many hours of manual tuning and has lead to a 'night & day' vehicle performance improvement allowing their client to increase sales with key customers.

Martin Griffiths director at Metis Automation said “I am very pleased that the company has been recognised as the leading Industry 4.0 software provider. It is my intention to ensure that our team keep the business objective of the project in the forefront of their minds to ensure that our customers get the maximum return on their investment.”
