    Brief

    The University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) is seeking tenders for the design, supply, and commissioning of a robotic cell to be installed in their Factory 2050 facility. The cell will enable researchers to develop and test digital passport technologies during the automated disassembly of electric motors, demonstrating how digital data can be read and written to components throughout the product lifecycle. This application directly supports circular manufacturing by enabling product tracking and material recovery. The system must serve dual purposes: as a research and development platform for AMRC scientists, and as a demonstration tool for visiting UK manufacturers to showcase emerging technologies. Contractors should note that AMRC is a research organization exploring innovative technologies rather than seeking production-ready manufacturing solutions.
