Case Study: High Value Manufacturing Catapult drives UK manufacturing digitalization with BSI PAS standards

High Value Manufacturing Catapult helps UK manufacturing unlock digitalization with BSI, supporting 45% of UK exports

The customer, High Value Manufacturing Catapult, faced the challenge of the UK's slow adoption of digital manufacturing technologies, which risked undermining the sector's global competitiveness. To help the UK industry overcome barriers like high R&D costs and skills gaps, they turned to vendor BSI and the development of Publicly Available Specifications (PASs).

BSI developed four PASs with industry input to establish best practices for adopting digital technologies. This solution helped UK manufacturing thrive by filling critical expertise gaps, increasing digital trust, and establishing best practices in supply chains. The measurable impact is underpinned by the sector's significant role in the UK economy, accounting for 45% of total exports and ranking 9th globally for manufacturing output.
