AI-powered manufacturing analytics for engineering and manufacturing SMEs in Glasgow and the Central Belt. Pricing in GBP. Works with the systems you already run.
Glasgow and Scotland's Central Belt are home to a diverse manufacturing base spanning precision engineering, shipbuilding, food & drink, life sciences, and aerospace, with a strong public-private R&D infrastructure.
Glasgow's industrial heritage is shipbuilding, locomotive manufacture, and heavy engineering — the Clyde was once the workshop of the British Empire. That deep engineering culture still underpins the modern Scottish manufacturing base.
Today Scotland's manufacturing economy is anchored by BAE Systems naval shipbuilding (Govan, Scotstoun), Babcock at Rosyth, Howden, Diageo and the wider Scotch whisky industry, life sciences in the Central Belt, and a growing space and satellite cluster around Glasgow.
Universities and research partners: University of Glasgow, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow Caledonian.
A single place where your engineering team can ask questions of your operational data in plain English — and get accurate, sourced answers with charts and tables in seconds.
“Which line had the most unplanned downtime last quarter?” “Show me bearing temperatures on pump 4 vs. last year.” No SQL. No dashboards to build first.
OPC-UA, SQL databases, historian connectors, CSV uploads, CMMS exports. Vendor-neutral. No rip-and-replace.
Set thresholds and anomaly rules in plain language. Get notified the moment something drifts.
Every answer cites the underlying records and shows its working. No black-box AI. Engineers can verify before acting.
A software provider backed by real-world manufacturing engineering experience.
Transparent monthly tiers in pounds. No currency surprises on renewal. Annual options for budget predictability.
No enterprise minimums, no six-figure consulting wrappers. Most customers go live in weeks, not quarters.
Implementation work on AI-driven analytics often qualifies for UK R&D Tax Relief (subject to HMRC criteria and your accountant's assessment).
Manufacturing analytics software collects, organises, and analyses operational data from your shop floor — sensors, SCADA, CMMS, ERP, spreadsheets — and turns it into actionable insights. Modern AI-powered platforms let engineering teams ask questions of their data in plain English without writing SQL or building dashboards first.
AWI Analytics is an AI-powered analytics platform designed for engineering and manufacturing SMEs. It connects to operational data sources and lets engineers ask questions of that data in natural language, returning sourced answers with charts and tables.
It is designed to be vendor-neutral and to work alongside the systems you already run, rather than requiring you to rip and replace. The exact set of connectors and integration approach depends on your specific stack — we cover this in a discovery call.
AWI Analytics is designed for SME-scale engagements rather than multi-quarter enterprise rollouts. A realistic scope is to have a first useful output on real data within weeks, with full operational handover inside a 90-day implementation window.
In past programme cycles, Made Smarter has supported qualifying SME manufacturers with software adoption and digital roadmaps in eligible regions. Eligibility, grant rates, and supported technology categories change each cycle — check current criteria with your regional Made Smarter team or visit madesmarter.uk.
Implementation work that involves a genuine technical advance or resolves scientific or technological uncertainty can qualify for UK R&D Tax Relief, subject to HMRC's definition and your accountant's assessment. Off-the-shelf adoption typically doesn't qualify; bespoke integration work sometimes does. Take specialist advice before claiming.
The best starting point is a 30-minute discovery call. We walk through your operational data, your priority use cases, and what realistic next steps would look like — no slides, no obligation.
AWI Analytics works with manufacturers across the UK. See location-specific context for the other main hubs we serve, or the UK overview.
