Manufacturing

Walk into most engineering firms, and you will find the same picture: a sea of men in high-vis, and perhaps one or two women in a back-office role. It is a dynamic the UK industry has been trying to change for decades, and in 2026, the statistics still make for uncomfortable reading. According to EngineeringUK's Engineering and Technology Workforce May 2025 Update, women make up just 16.9% of the UK's engineering and technology workforce compared to 56% in every other occupat

Research consistently shows that manual sorting and transit operations carry an error rate of between 1–3%. In a facility processing thousands of units per shift, that margin represents significant waste, rework, and customer dissatisfaction. Automated conveyor systems reduce this error rate to near zero — not by chance, but by design.

The manufacturing landscape in Nottinghamshire is undergoing a quiet but significant transformation. As we move through 2026, the local industrial sector—spanning from food production in Mansfield to pharmaceutical hubs in Beeston—is facing a "triple threat" of challenges: rising energy costs, acute labour shortages, and the stringent sustainability targets set out by the 2025 UK Plastics Pact. For many facilities, the solution isn't just "more machines," but rather smarter m

In the fast-paced world of modern manufacturing, every minute counts. Downtime on the production line can quickly add up to significant losses, while inefficient material flow leads to bottlenecks, worker fatigue, and wasted effort. Many UK manufacturers are discovering that the real gains come not from isolated upgrades, but from thoughtfully integrating conveyor systems with smart storage solutions. When these elements work together seamlessly, the results can be transforma

In a factory production line, time truly equals money. Every second your products sit idle, it’s costing your business—delaying orders, inflating overheads, and eroding your competitive edge. To hit peak output and run at full capacity, your production line demands not just speed, but seamless reliability. That means swift handling of breakdowns, minimal bottlenecks, and a smooth flow across every stage, from raw materials to finished goods. MJE Projects Limited is a Notting
