The ‘Innovator of the Year’ award recognises a team or organisation which has developed a software application or service that has enormous potential to change the way we live, work or play and will have an impact that will be felt far and wide. The judges were unanimous in their decision to crown MSP winners, recognising the company as being at the forefront of innovation within the global manufacturing industry.
Following this impressive achievement, more success quickly followed with the company winning in the ‘Digital Engineering / Technology’ category at Insider Media’s Made in the North East Awards on the same evening. This award celebrates the company which has best developed software or technology to solve problems and add value for customers. As winners at this event, MSP have been automatically selected as finalists for the National Made in the UK Awards. This National award brings together the regional winners from the past 12 months and honours the most innovative and dynamic manufacturers in the UK.
From its base in Northumberland, MSP are expanding the way the advanced manufacturing industry make and measure parts around the world. Its software products automate manufacturing processes, helping the world’s largest aerospace, defence and motorsport companies produce 100% accurate parts. Its scope is far-reaching; used on complex parts from F1 composite front wings, engine fan blades to 3D printed parts.
Commenting on the accolades, MSP commercial director, Tony Brown, said: “We are honoured to be named as ‘Innovator of the Year’ and recognised for our work within engineering and technology. Our products are truly innovative and have a massive impact on machining processes; manufacturers see impressive time and cost savings within hours of their installation.”
This year, the MSP team have been developing their newest innovation, AutoClock. This piece of hardware automates the first stage of the machining process. AutoClock automates the traditional process for clocking in a sphere and in seconds can produce an accurate, reliable and repeatable result.
Peter Hammond, MSP technical director added: “Errors are eliminated and manufacturers can be confident their machine is calibrated correctly. AutoClock is not limited to specific machines and can be used on a wide range of machine tools worldwide. There are millions of machine tools in use globally, which generates great market potential for AutoClock.”
