Inspiring manufacturing professionals (Part 2)

How can we inspire future manufacturing professionals? Some ideas such as building an attractive work environment, providing good and suitable employment opportunities as well as investing for a safe future are fundamental.

In addition, the readiness to integrate into industry 4.0 and create a positive, productive force also contributes to inspiring and inspiring leading manufacturing professionals in the future.

Ready for the 4.0 manufacturing industry

After successfully launching a series of devices and machines that cannot replace humans, Encirc recently continued to invest in the world’s first “Industry 4.0 Ready” glass production line.

The new line will be equipped with breakthrough technology and the hot head areas (bottle production sites in the factory) will be connected to the cold head areas (inspection sites in the factory).

This will use existing in-house intelligent scanning tools, laser identification markers and modern inspection machines, which will be fully integrated to work with operators.

This technology will greatly improve the health and safety of the operators and also increase the quality performance in the plant.

The role of production is changing day by day; they gradually focus on maintaining electricity rather than mechanical engineering. Jobseekers need to know that they should gain experience and gain knowledge in these areas if they want to preserve their career paths.

These are the most advanced investments that manufacturers can use to show potential young employees that their business is both for the future and for improving their existing workforce.

Training and working with this kind of automated technology in the real world, means our employees also invest in their own career development opportunities.

An active and productive workforce

To attract more future employees, investments in the factory floor should be supplemented by positive measures such as promoting welfare and balancing work with life.

Work-related stress and mental health issues are becoming ever more important, and young people are among the most vulnerable in society.

We invest in mental health training first to assist people who may feel pressured or worried. In the same way, we actively promote mental strength training to help employees develop the skills they need to build resilience and set achievable goals.

To further support workplace health, we have also built an on-site gym for all staff to use at our website in Derrylin, with another facility currently under construction. erected at our factory in Cheshire. The free gym access provides staff with a convenient outlet to meet their fitness goals.

With so much uncertainty ahead, as an area we need to make sure our factories and locations across the country still appeal to the next generation of manufacturing professionals.

In short, by investing in a positive culture, technological innovation, human development and ethical business models, we can continue to attract talent from domestic producers and all around the world.
