THE OUTCOME As a result of the ongoing project, Magtec now has the knowledge to produce over 2500 motors for electric and hybrid vehicles per year. This has the potential to scale up further towards the 5000 units per year target. Magtec successfully transitioned to its new 65,000sq ft facility with an improved factory floor layout that has also created a number of advanced manufacturing jobs as a result of the increased production requirements.
MTC also supported Magtec to create a better performing and more easily manufactured power unit as a result of knowledge transfer work that encouraged Magtec to review some of its material choices and to implement new innovative automation technologies. The MTC worked closely with Magtec to upskill employees on the latest innovations in power electronics and automation to ensure they were ready to cope with the demand.
Our project with Magtec demonstrates the full breadth of the expertise that is available at the MTC for UK businesses, especially as we push towards a greener economy. In particular on this project, we have shown great flexibility in our approach and still been able to achieve the goals of the project and set another UK manufacturer on its way to a brighter future. Magtec are now better prepared to embrace future challenges from an operational and a skills perspective, while having products suitable for the international market.
