Over the last three years, LMAC have invested heavily in R&D and partnership development in anticipation of the next big change for manufacturers — integrated technology that will deliver a much needed increase in future facing productivity.
For too long, the world has relied heavily upon cheap overseas labour to feed our appetite for cheap products. With hindsight, we can now see this was never going to be sustainable in the long term. As a new, more enlightened generation of consumers emerge, the ethical and environmental footprint of their purchases is becoming more important to them.
For on-shore manufacturers, the integration of new technologies will be critical in order for them to grasp the opportunities ahead. But for many manufacturers, figuring out the “what” and “how” of technology will be a challenge.
One of the things LMAC prides itself on is its ability to help our clients establish what to tackle first on this strategic journey. We look for problems to solve first rather than trying to shoehorn technology in for the sake of it. One of our priorities is to display real business benefit to the leaders of the businesses we work with.
Start with the problem, not a solution
Many technology providers start with a solution and then look for problems to fix with it. We take a different approach. By partnering with leading experts in technology, we can select the best solution for the problems our clients are facing.
Some of our partners include:
Litmus Data Tech: The capability of machines to produce data is growing exponentially as Industry 4.0 sweeps into the manufacturing and processing industries.

The expertise Litmus brings has been applied to the optimisation of robotics production lines through to process engineering improvements in the food manufacturing sector. This is where data, AI, and machines meet.
