Advanced manufacturing: measurement and sensing pilot

A pilot for high-potential SMEs developing measurement, instrumentation or sensing technologies for UK manufacturing.

OPENS26 August 2026
APPLICANTUK registered SMEs
SECTORAdvanced manufacturing
VERIFIED2 September 2026
HUBAI FIT ANALYSIS

Where AI belongs in this opportunity.

Strong fit where computer vision, machine learning or intelligent sensing is an essential part of a manufacturing measurement product or service.

Do not lead with “we use AI”.Lead with the defined problem, measurable innovation and credible route to adoption. AI is part of the method, not the complete case.
ELIGIBILITY SNAPSHOT

Check the gate.

01Apply as a single UK registered micro, small or medium-sized business.

02The innovation must relate to measurement, instrumentation or sensing for UK manufacturing.

03Project scope, costs and exploitation must follow the official competition rules.

PREPARATION PLAN

Build the evidence.

01Define the manufacturing measurement problem in operational terms.

02Separate the AI component from the full sensing system and prove why it matters.

03Prepare validation, route-to-market and UK impact evidence.
