Digital engineering and AI
Bridging the confidence gap for UK Manufacturing
AI and digital tools could transform UK engineering - but knowing where to start, what works, and who to trust remains a major barrier.
At NCC, we’re working to close that gap. We connect cutting-edge digital capability with the real-world challenges on the workshop floor. Through deep links with industry, government and academia, we help turn new ideas into useful tools - and help guide businesses through the process.
We’re already putting AI and machine learning to the test in live environments. From reducing waste in composite manufacturing to automating inspection and improving certification processes, we’re learning what it takes to make digital work at scale.
With open access digital testbeds and impartial advisors, NCC is a place where businesses can come to define, test and progress their digital transformation projects.

We're identifying where digital and AI tools have the greatest potential for engineering and manufacturing
If digital thread can work for composites, the lessons apply to almost anything. We're demonstrating how new technologies can solve key challenges.
Our Impact
The visit was was an opportunity to share how NCC is working to identify practical applications of AI in engineering and manufacturing, connecting cutting-edge capability with real-world challenges on the workshop floor.
Our Impact
The project delivered a fully functioning digital infrastructure to manage IoT data across the system - from sensors through processing, machine learning, and closed-loop control of the resin infusion process.
Our Impact
Resin infusion is hard to control and even harder to optimise. That’s where AI could make a real difference. At NCC, we’ve created custom environments to train machine learning models on millions of infusion scenarios.
Our Impact
Run by DSIT and Innovate UK, the competition is open to UK-registered businesses of any size. Entrants are invited to put forward practical, high-potential ideas that can address sector-specific challenges. A £1 million prize fund is available to support development and delivery - with a strong focus on solutions that can scale and deliver value.
Our Impact
We connect technology strategy to real-world delivery through our end-to-end engineering services.
