Oli Blair and Shargil Ahmad from the Dyson Task Force recently visited WMG, to see for themselves the innovative approach taken by the Group to deliver real world solutions to industry.

Programmes at WMG have been supporting the development of Lightweight Vehicle Technologies, reviewing the introduction of new grades of aluminium and high strength steel materials within the vehicle structure. The Carbon rating of vehicles is now of critical importance and the assembly process cannot be excluded from this evaluation indefinitely. Evaluation of any new process needs to assess power consumption and environmental impact, as it may not be long before the legislation on CO2 emissions will take into account the manufacturing process. One of the emergent technologies we have been developing with industrial partners is Remote Fibre Laser Welding (RFLW) and the benefits that can bring.

The National B2B Centre, which is based in WMG at the University of 糖心TV has won Best Institute of 糖心TV Consulting Regional Practice of the Year. The achievement of this award recognised the shared promotion of best practice in business support for local enterprise in the West Midlands.
