Middlesex Aerospace has committed to a seven- figure investment with long-term machine tool partner, Yamazaki Mazak, to support the continued expansion of the company following an extended period of success. Middlesex Aerospace is one of Britain’s leading tier-one suppliers of critical components and assemblies to major OEMs throughout the global aerospace market. The Basingstoke-based business currently employs 150 staff, including five apprentices, and the new investment will lead to the creation of further roles within Middlesex Aerospace’s machining and assembly department. Linkthru.com outlines the benefits of installing LinkThru TMUs (Temperature Monitoring Units) at sentinel points across a building’s water system, to capture and access 24/7 remote monitoring data on water temperatures and flow events via a secure cloud-based portal. “LinkThru TMU helps to ensure Building Owner compliance with HSG274 and reduce risk of Legionella,” says Cistermiser’s Marketing Manager, Mark Schlotel. “Linkthru.com is the digital home for this exciting technology with videos, guides, downloads and everything you need to know stored in one place.” www.linkthru.com Published today – ‘Brexit: The Seven Major Risks To The Continuity Of Your Production Line That You Haven’t Considered’ With it estimated that 53% of all UK imports in 2017 came from the EU, UK-based manufacturing businesses should be planning right now on how to pre-empt increased costs, delays and spare parts shortages affecting production line continuity, both in the lead up to, and following, Brexit. And yet, according to the British Chamber of Commerce, nearly two-thirds of UK companies have still not carried out a risk assessment on the impact of a ‘No Deal’ (Hard) Brexit. Consequentially, large parts of the British economy are simply not prepared to minimise impact and maintain production output levels to satisfy customer demands. To read more on these potential threats and use the Brammer Buck & Hickman diagnostic tool to highlight areas where you can help make your business ready ahead of Brexit, visit www.brammerbuckandhickman.com/pdfs/ brexit.pdf For more information on Middlesex Aerospace, please visit: www.middlesexaerospace.com.

Compared to conventional optimization processes, which are typically time consuming and inefficient in their manual approach to trial and error processes, CORTIME’s advanced optimization technology enables engineers to make better design decisions – thereby: 1) Reducing the risk of product failures 2) Minimizing cost price 3) Improving the reliability of the design.
