British Engines launches 'game-changing' tech drive

An engineer is targeting growth after rolling out a “game-changing” technology drive.

British Engines Group has launched an artificial intelligence programme.

The Newcastle-based engineering group says the move will support efficiency and productivity goals, and provide “a greater competitive edge.”

The technology will be used across the organisation’s portfolio, which includes South Shields-based Michell Bearings, Newcastle’s BEL Engineering, and CMP Products, in Cramlington.

Bosses say it will help teams automate engineering design tasks, perform calculations and reduce equipment failure.

They add the move – which includes a new chatbot function – will also support marketing and legal teams through tasks such as contract agreement and document summary creation.

Neil Wallis, British Engines Group’s head of business systems, said: “The levels of automation and improved workflow efficiency this programme will bring will be game-changing.

“I’m confident generative artificial intelligence and machine learning will play a pivotal role in giving us a greater competitive edge.”
