Innovation fit for a King

In AML's digitally enabled ‘war room' the firm's co-founder and Managing Director, Gareth Morgan, is discussing the good news with his colleagues: the 100-strong precision engineering team has just won the coveted King's Award for Enterprise Innovation. The award recognises ‘leaders in their field who adopt exemplary working practices and inspire other businesses.' It's one of the UK's highest accolades for business excellence. Fittingly for an MTD aerospace issue, the award is in recognition of AML's ability to apply technologies and lean processes more often seen in the automotive sector to unlock a staggering two-fold productivity increase in the aerospace sector: enabling a leading UK jet engine manufacturer to expand into the lucrative business aircraft market which is expected to grow to $36.4bn by 2030. “We are all so proud of what we have achieved and that our skills and talents are recognised at the highest level. It sends a powerful message to our customers that we are constantly seeking better and smarter ways of delivering products to three sectors that are critical to the success of UK Plc – energy, aerospace and defence,” says Gareth, who established the company as a spinout from the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC)16 years ago. The engines for this market require many novel design elements, materials and technologies to achieve the necessary performance levels demanded by manufacturers, regulators and governments. But behind every challenge, lies an opportunity. “This combination of high demand and high technological requirements for an existing customer presented an opportunity for AML to develop a new aerofoil manufacturing process that meets the stringent demands of the next generation of business aircraft engines. This opportunity drove the subsequent R&D to develop this innovation project,” Gareth said. “Our success in delivering this innovation has accelerated our growth by creating eight new roles - six machine operators and two manufacturing engineers – supporting the new robotic production cell built to manufacture these components. Several employees working on the cell have been trained to program and operate it, extending their knowledge and experience,” says Gareth, proving that robotics can increase the demand for skilled roles, rather than remove them. Gareth acknowledges the role that others have played in helping the embryonic AML go from two co-founders and £90,000 turnover in 2008, to a 100-plus workforce and a turnover of £11m and growing today. In the case of the King's Award, he pays special tribute to the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) which, over the last decade, has invested £3.6bn in UK manufacturing in “a long-term plan to produce more than 400 cutting-edge aerospace R&D projects across the UK, driving world-class research in sustainable aviation and supporting thousands of jobs”. Funding from the ATI for the Automotive Excellence in Aerospace (AXIS) project, along with R&D support from former colleagues at the nearby AMRC were critical in giving Gareth and his team the financial and technical support they needed to turn this challenge into an opportunity. As with all innovations, this required a venture into the unknown. For AML it meant the adaptation and deployment of robotics using advanced automation simulation tools. It also required the development of a bespoke clamping design, which illustrates the value of having a world-leading R&D partner on your doorstep in the shape of the AMRC's automation experts in Factory 2050. “Working with the AMRC gave us the confidence to be bold as they have R&D strengths in both precision machining and robotics in the aerospace sector. Having such talent on the doorstep gives us a huge advantage as a business,” said Gareth. It is also a reason why South Yorkshire is consolidating its reputation as global player in the aerospace, energy and defence sectors, which was recognised as it is the first Investment Zone in England with a focus on advanced manufacturing. This has been accompanied by an announcement that ATI is investing close to £30m in the AMRC-led COMPASS project to accelerate composite aerostructures with Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems. For Gareth, the big message to government is that ATI's long-term strategic R&D funding is key to expanding what UK aerospace OEMs and their supply chains can achieve when manufacturers have a public sector partner with a consistent vision for the sector and the financial firepower to fund innovation projects.  These investments, all match funded by the private sector, are essential to maintaining the UK aerospace industry's position with a staggering 70% of domestic aerospace production being exported around the world. As thousands gather for the Farnborough Air Show it is also worth reflecting that the sector directly employs 108,000 people and supports over 5,200 apprenticeships across the UK: delivering high-value jobs for a highly skilled workforce. The UK exports £18.6bn with a turnover of £27bn last year. AML, and innovative supply chain firms like them, are key to the UK retaining its position as a leading player in this global market. But they are also key to driving inclusive economic growth in the regions and nations of the UK. The success of firms like AML shows that regions don't need a major OEM to drive innovation and growth. “You don't need to produce or innovate the complete product to unlock a significant profit share of the final sale. It's the same in tech. Ask HP or Dell whether it is them or Samsung and Intel who enjoy the best profit margins when a consumer buys Dell or HP computers?” Gareth said. AML is now a digitally driven tech business. Cloud-based data analytics informs everything they do. But getting there required support. For Gareth, this meant engaging with what he describes  as the ‘brilliant Sharing in Growth programme' whose vision is ‘growing great businesses, by developing great people, for this generation and the next.' “Our war room is the result of that collaboration giving us the manufacturing equivalent of the Starship Enterprise flight deck. No more Monday morning mayhem where people spend hours sifting through data, turning it into graphs and charts. It's all there in real-time dashboards, freeing us to interpret the data and make much better, informed decisions.” But digital is not confined to the war room, it runs like a thread through the whole business: from its extensive quality management system to its adaptive machining algorithms that enable AML to achieve the tightest of tolerances across a range of materials from titanium and nickel-based superalloys, to softer alloys such as aluminium. For the King's Award-winning project AML developed bespoke algorithms to generate efficiencies and ensure that each component's features perfectly blend with the other components' surfaces, increasing manufacturing performance and reducing rejected parts. But not every innovation is entirely high-tech. As part of the ATI-funded project,  AML looked to the centuries' old manufacturing technology of forging to deliver big savings in time, energy and cost. This required collaboration between Redditch-based forging specialists, Mettis Aerospace, the AMRC and AML   to overcome many hurdles, making this a fully integrated manufacturing process that provided consistency throughout the whole manufacturing chain. The lesson from this for policymakers and manufacturers is the need to identify niche capabilities in fragmented global production supply chains that open up new markets and products. But broad economic surveys of regions and sectors alone will not reveal where these gaps and opportunities can be found – that requires real manufacturing intelligence-gathering activity.  As AML's success demonstrates, innovation can have a major impact on productivity. And productivity, which has flatlined in the UK since the 2008 financial crash,  is what drives wealth creation, economic growth and personal prosperity. Back in the war room,  Gareth reflects on the importance of being part of the bigger advanced manufacturing cluster or innovation district taking shape in South Yorkshire. For him, it   puts fast-growing companies like AML on the global stage. As Gareth says: “AML doesn't win it on its own, it wins it by being an integral part of this growing advanced manufacturing cluster. If you're going to compete globally, then you have to be part of a bigger team. When we are successful that means a win for AML is   a win for South Yorkshire and a win for UK plc.”

As a machine tool builder that manufactures high-end machines for the global market, Heller UK is frequently involved in turnkey projects for prestigious OEMs. On a recent project, the Redditch company enlisted the support of the cutting tool experts at Guhring. There has been a wide spectrum of tools used on this project for a leading manufacturer of Electric Vehicles (EVs), including the Guhring tool holders and tool vending technology. As part of the package to accompany the cutting tools, the EV manufacturer has selected a vast range of standard shrink chucks, hydraulic chucks and synchro-tapping chucks. The cutting tools incorporated in this project included a huge range of standard products, all carefully selected and tested to minimise cycle times while achieving tight tolerances. Whilst the standard range of Guhring products accounted for a significant element of the system integration project, it was the bespoke PCD combination tools that demonstrated Guhring UK's expertise as a one-stop solution provider. With the PCD combination tools manufactured at Guhring UK and Guhring Germany, the bespoke solutions were developed to achieve ‘one shot' plunging. The bespoke tooling aimed to reduce cycle times and adhere to the high surface finishes required – and maintain this over the life of the tool. Discussing the project, Guhring UK's National Sales Manager Chris Bush says: “It is a project and industry that is at the very forefront of technology. The end user typically specifies a machine builder and cutting tool supplier - in this instance, it was Heller and Guhring for the cutting tools.” Looking at how the process delivers a solution for the customer, Chris continues: “In Germany, we have a large project engineering team with over 200 employees. So, when we receive a CAD model of the customers' component and the machine capabilities, we can develop the cutting tools and machining strategy from that and create an optimised solution in conjunction with Heller.”   “This requires several meetings to discuss the machining strategies and how we develop the tooling to create a seamless solution from machine tool to cutting tool. At Guhring, we supply everything from toolholder to the cutting-edge and that also entails all the speeds, feeds and cutting strategies in conjunction with the machine builder. Once we supply all the cutting data and tooling sheets, we will then visit Heller and do all the initial run-offs to ensure all the cutting data is optimised and the machining strategy is working well.” Alluding to the overall project, Chris adds: “It has been a great partnership between Guhring and Heller and the current EV project is the biggest project we have collaborated on in the UK.” Discussing the project from a Heller perspective, Tad Forys from Heller Machine Tools UK says: “We delivered 22 machines in this project. That includes eleven 5-axis machines and 11 4-axis machines - all built in the UK. With this project, we have gone from a customer drawing to a fully automated production line. From the initial enquiry with the customer, our engineers here in the UK conducted comprehensive cycle time studies. Following on from that, we developed custom hydraulic fixtures to hold the parts; and we have used these fixtures because it is a high-volume electric vehicle application.” “This recent project that we collaborated on with Guhring has been a perfect demonstration of team work. When we talk about collaboration, it isn't just about working together - it's about aligning our values and expertise. The first two machines for the production line are here at Heller, so we can do the initial production ‘prove off' before the machines land on the customers' shop floor. Guhring has been with us for every step of the journey, clocking in tools, optimising speeds and feeds to make sure we have the most efficient process for the customer before the machines are delivered.” “From a Heller perspective, this project has been an outstanding success. Our end user is very happy. Everything has been delivered on time to a particularly demanding customer - and this has been made possible by a close working partnership with Guhring who have helped us every step of the way,” adds Tad. Discussing the tooling solution further, Guhring's Chris Bush adds: “Even though we are supplying the tools and tool holding for this project, we are also supplying the tool management vending solution. As this is a significant project with a large number of tools, we are supplying the vending machine with some add-on units. The proprietary software that Guhring programs and supplies with this can also be linked to the customer's ERP system. This provides complete synergy and automation for the end user from tool ordering with complete transparency of costing and cost centres by the operation, the individual machine and even by the operator. This system provides unparalleled transparency, so everyone can see the costs and where the costs are going.” “From a Guhring point of view, this project has been a great success and working together with Heller has been a true partnership, and a fantastic example of delivering a proven process to the customer on time,” concludes Chris

The temptation to electoral politics eventually pulled her back. Having failed the first time, Jacqui became the MP for Redditch in 1997 – labeled one of ‘Blair's babes'.  Within two years, Jacqui joined the government, and under Gordon Brown, she became the first female Home Secretary, a post she later described as a 'poisoned chalice' to her successor.

InfoSec; the language of security. Source: Why Defenders Should Embrace a Hacker Mindset Additional Information. What is a "Data Breach"? A data breach is a security violation, in which sensitive, protected or confidential data is copied, transmitted, viewed, stolen, altered or used by an individual unauthorized to do so. What is "Malware"? Malware (a portmanteau for malicious software) is any software intentionally designed to cause disruption to a computer, server, client, or computer network, leak private information, gain unauthorized access to information or systems, deprive access to information, or which unknowingly interferes with the user's computer security and privacy. What is a "Payload"? In the context of a computer virus or worm, the payload is the portion of the malware which performs malicious action; deleting data, sending spam or encrypting data. In addition to the payload, such malware also typically has overhead code aimed at simply spreading itself, or avoiding detection. What is "Phishing"? Phishing is a form of social engineering where attackers deceive people into revealing sensitive information or installing malware such as ransomware. Phishing attacks have become increasingly sophisticated and often transparently mirror the site being targeted, allowing the attacker to observe everything while the victim is navigating the site, and transverse any additional security boundaries with the victim. Social engineering (security) In the context of information security, social engineering is the psychological manipulation of people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. A type of confidence trick for the purpose of information gathering, fraud, or system access, it differs from a traditional "con" in that it is often one of many steps in a more complex fraud scheme. What is "Information Security" (InfoSec)? Information security, sometimes shortened to InfoSec, is the practice of protecting information by mitigating information risks. It is part of information risk management. Information Security Attributes: Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (C.I.A.). Information Systems are composed in three main portions, hardware, software and communications with the purpose to help identify and apply information security industry standards, as mechanisms of protection and prevention, at three levels or layers: physical, personal and organizational. Essentially, procedures or policies are implemented to tell administrators, users and operators how to use products to ensure information security within the organizations. What is "Risk management"? Risk management is the identification, evaluation, and prioritization of risks followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities. What is a "Vulnerability" (computing)? Vulnerabilities are flaws in a computer system that weaken the overall security of the device/system. Vulnerabilities can be weaknesses in either the hardware itself, or the software that runs on the hardware. What is an "Attack Surface"? The attack surface of a software environment is the sum of the different points (for "attack vectors") where an unauthorized user (the "attacker") can try to enter data to or extract data from an environment. Keeping the attack surface as small as possible is a basic security measure. What is an "Attack Vector"? In computer security, an attack vector is a specific path, method, or scenario that can be exploited to break into an IT system, thus compromising its security. The term was derived from the corresponding notion of vector in biology. An attack vector may be exploited manually, automatically, or through a combination of manual and automatic activity. What is "Standardization"? Standardization is the process of implementing and developing technical standards based on the consensus of different parties that include firms, users, interest groups, standards organizations and governments. Standardization can help maximize compatibility, interoperability, safety, repeatability, or quality. It can also facilitate a normalization of formerly custom processes. List of computer standards. List of technical standard organizations. What is a "Replay attack"? A replay attack is a form of network attack in which valid data transmission is maliciously or fraudulently repeated or delayed. Another way of describing such an attack is: "an attack on a security protocol using a replay of messages from a different context into the intended (or original and expected) context, thereby fooling the honest participant(s) into thinking they have successfully completed the protocol run." What is a "Man-in-the-middle attack"? In cryptography and computer security, a man-in-the-middle, ..., attack is a cyberattack where the attacker secretly relays and possibly alters the communications between two parties who believe that they are directly communicating with each other, as the attacker has inserted themselves between the two parties. What is "Transport Layer Security" (TLS)? Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide communications security over a computer network. The protocol is widely used in applications such as email, instant messaging, and voice over IP, but its use in securing HTTPS remains the most publicly visible. What is a "Handshake" (computing)?. In computing, a handshake is a signal between two devices or programs, used to, e.g., authenticate, coordinate. An example is the handshaking between a hypervisor and an application in a guest virtual machine. What is Security theater? The practice of taking security measures that are considered to provide the feeling of improved security while doing little or nothing to achieve it.

Als die Besatzung des britischen Segelschiffes Dei Gratia am 4. Dezember 1872 ein verlassenes Schiff, die amerikanische Brigantine Mary Celeste, ohne Besatzung treibend im Atlantik vorfindet, sind sie zunächst hauptsächlich an dem Finderlohn interessiert, den ihnen dieses Geisterschiff einbringen kann. Sie ahnen nicht, dass sie mit der Bergung des Schiffes nicht nur ihren Ruf riskieren, sondern auch Teil eines der bis heute bekanntesten Mysterien der Seefahrtsgeschichte werden sollten. Begleitet Katharina und Nina von New York bis Gibraltar und erkundet, wie die Ambitionen eines Generalstaatsanwaltes, der Verdacht einer blutigen Mordtat und die ganz realen Schrecken der Seefahrt im 19.

Starting out riding for Two Wheel Service Bike Shop, Bunneys GT, Redline, GT, Titan and Free Agent (distributed by Raleigh) later on down the road in the Masters category while working at Raleigh in the mid 2000s. We talk about doubling at both the 84 NBMXA National Series and British Championships in his first full year of racing. Racing with Scott Williams, Martin Jose and Charlie Reynolds that same year. Geth talks turning Pro and maybe missing out on racing in Europe by not racing Superclass first, winning the first round of the Kelloggs against the Americans, his thoughts on Pro racing the first few years, maybe where he might have featured at the Slough 86 Worlds if he had raced. We talk about Geth's domination in the 87, 88 season before moving back down to Superclass mid 88 season and racing the new era of British riders moving into the 90s. We talk about some of the riders he raced with from Ruffell, March, Woods, Robinson, Middleton and later Gary Llewellyn, Craig Scofield era to Tony Fleming, Damon Parkinson, Lee Alexander, Tom Lynch, Neal Wood, Anthony Revell, myself later in the 80s and, finally getting to race in Europe, something you were not allowed to do if you were a UK Pro in the mid 80s. We talk about Geth riding the Ilkeston Brickyard, Nottingham Broadmarsh, Brighouse Trails, Redditch and more, alongside his time working at British Cycling, riding road bikes these days, being inducted into the first ever British BMX Hall of Fame last month and so much more.
