Staffordshire Precision Engineering Limited (SPE) has successfully enhanced its operational efficiency through its participation in the ADTIA programme at Staffordshire University. The company applied to the programme with the goal of digitising its paper-based system, a move that has significantly improved the storage and retrieval of technical drawings and machine codes while enhancing document control processes.
The collaboration has resulted in a more streamlined and efficient approach to managing essential business documentation. By leveraging digital solutions, SPE has not only optimised internal processes but also strengthened its overall operational framework, ensuring greater accuracy and accessibility of critical information.
Beyond the direct business benefits, the project provided an invaluable opportunity for Ahmad Aminu Bashir, a Masters graduate in Cyber Security. Ahmad was able to apply his academic expertise in a real-world setting, gaining hands-on experience that has further enhanced his skills and employability.
SPE is passionate about advancing its technical and business output while also supporting the career progression of graduates. By engaging with young professionals and providing them with industry exposure, the company helps to nurture future talent and equip them with the practical experience needed to excel in their careers.
This initiative was made possible through funding from Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council via the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). It stands as a testament to the power of collaboration between business leaders, local councils, and academic institutions like Staffordshire University. By working together, these partnerships drive innovation, improve business efficiencies, and create opportunities for individuals to develop their careers.
SPE extends its gratitude to Jonathan Westlake MBCS for his academic support and guidance throughout the project. This successful collaboration underscores the value of industry-academic partnerships in fostering growth and technological advancement.
