After quite some time we're back online! Huge amount of progress on our #sustainable #netzero snap fit roof system, and Factory in a box #production cell for #construction. Loads of new #media & a flash new website > https://t.co/5Q09mUpJLR @the_MTC_org

Thanks for the shout out guys - we loved working with @the_MTC_org. Innovation & #lowcarbon is paramount in the construction materials sector and we’re doing all we can to provide a solution 🙂

♻️ Using #waste from North Wales’s industrial past, @CarapaceSlate’s sustainable snap-fit roof tiles take time and cost out of tiling.

Working with @the_MTC_org, Carapace were able to slash downtime for retooling to 10 minutes

2/2 ....our bespoke fully functional MVP #digitaltwin . It's not just about the moving parts of a new machine..the clever part is to create software allowing every valve, signal and sensor to be integrated, monitored and controlled remotely. #automation #hmi #ukmfg

Thanks for the shout out Jon! Hope you’re keeping well.

@NicholajamesNj @jolilford @GemHallett @TheGoodwashCo @Sure_Chill @riversimple I’ll add @CarapaceSlate - stronger, easier to fit slate tiles made from waste slate dust. Tiles manufactured by robots in flying factories on site, reducing the need for big factory footprints and heavy haulage to building sites

It’s time to view sustainable construction practices as more than just the cost of doing business. https://t.co/6ogVdFz1DQ

Hey guys! We're back and just finished our @innovateuk project with @the_MTC_org We've taken the longer automated path early on to avoid the challenges of scalability and rapid growth. Intro blog here: https://t.co/xxJ99mtQ8K #startup #ukmanufacture #industry4

What is a #FactoryInABox you ask? 📦

It's a fully mobile, fully customisable #factory system, built in a standard shipping container.

[Mike Pitts @pittso]

Really enjoyed a visit to @CarapaceSlate today. Upcycling waste to make roof tiles that look like real Welsh slate (they 80% are), that are quicker to fit, lighter and far cheaper. We have supported them developing a flexible manufacturing process #TransformingConstruction

[Carapace Slate @CarapaceSlate]

@pittso Cheers Mike! It was great to see you and @InnovateJon too. Thanks for your continued support throughout our journey! #TransformingConstruction #Factoryinabox #CarapaceSlate

@jimjefferies Awesome show last night Jim.. although you had more than one person fall asleep in your show - Martyn had himself a cheeky #Jimjeffriesparty in the day and then succumbed to the warm, loving ambience of @RW__Arena
