Inspire future manufacturing professionals (Part 1)

Current British manufacturers have inspired the next generation of workers by offering the best and most attractive jobs possible as well as investing in positive culture and the development of human resources.

Angela Chidley, head of talent and organizational development at Encirc, discussed ways to boost production and career paths for young talents. It is very important to review and understand how their expectations have changed over the last 10 to 15 years. Globalization, media and digitization are growing widely, so future manufacturing professionals may have difficulty finding jobs. Therefore, British manufacturers need to promote the next generation of workers through stable employment opportunities.

Building an interesting culture

So, what do young people look for when they enter the broad and global context of manufacturing opportunities?

Building a thriving culture is perhaps one of the most important factors to create a competitive and engaging working environment. Once this is clear, it becomes the basis for other things coming together through a common purpose. Having a sustainable and growing position in the industry is a spot that young people are looking for when looking for work.

Invest in a safe future

However, we cannot build an attractive, responsible, and sustainable culture with words of ambition and empty promises. Instead it needs a significant number of investment strategies in several key industries.

Although there are some positive headlines, we still believe that the next generation of jobs here will not be automated but will be jobs performed by people combined with advanced power. The most of robot technology.

Young people need safety and they can find it at companies that are always at the forefront of investing in equipment that can’t replace them, but provide them with basic skills. to work in industry 4.0.

This is the thinking behind recent investments with our auto industry in Encirc. Our Cobots – collaborative robots designed to work together with humans – are designed to lubricate our product molds while they are still running, in a fraction of the human time. They detect human presence and work slowly to minimize safety concerns.

Since the introduction of cobots, our employees spend more time tracking the activities. As a result, performance has been changed towards a positive direction and our health and safety levels have improved. The production rate per hour has decreased from 2.2% on manual lines to 1%.

In general, to inspire future manufacturers, creating an attractive, competitive working environment is indispensable. Therefore, it is also impossible to be absent from the companion cobots.
