Following up on our previous update, we’re excited to share the latest developments in our SMDH Rapid Demonstrator Project. Our team has made significant strides in several key areas, bringing us closer to our goal of optimising material usage and reducing waste in the manufacturing industry.
Data Collection and Analysis
The initial phase of our project focused on extensive data collection and cleaning. This meticulous process has resulted in a comprehensive dataset that provides valuable insights into our specific use cases. We’ve shared this dataset with our project funder, ensuring transparency and collaboration throughout the project’s lifecycle.
System Architecture and Project Awareness
Based on our robust dataset, we’ve designed a system architecture that will support the development of key project outcomes. This architecture serves as the backbone for our ongoing work and future innovations.
Pattern Recognition and Insights
One of our most exciting developments is creating and training a pattern recognition model. This advanced tool analyses our data and generates insights that will be crucial for optimising materials storage design. By leveraging this technology, we aim to significantly improve efficiency in material handling and storage.
Stakeholder Engagement
We’ve conducted a thorough analysis of our dataset, identifying significant trends and insights. These findings have been shared with relevant stakeholders, ensuring that all parties are informed and can contribute to the project’s success.
Future Focus: Optimising Material Offcut Reuse
As we move forward, our team is concentrating on two main objectives:
- Developing an Optimisation Model: We’re working on creating a model that will provide recommendations for optimising material offcut reuse. This innovation has the potential to dramatically reduce waste and improve resource efficiency in offsite construction and retrofit projects.
- Project Documentation: Alongside our technical work, we’re diligently documenting our progress and findings in a comprehensive project report. This documentation will be a valuable resource for future reference and knowledge sharing.
The SMDH Demonstrator Project continues to make exciting progress in our mission to revolutionise material usage in the manufacturing industry. We’re grateful for the ongoing support of our partners and stakeholders, and we look forward to sharing more updates as we move closer to our goals of increased efficiency and reduced waste.
Stay tuned for more updates on our journey towards a more sustainable manufacturing future!
