Located in Bolton, Velden Engineering operates out of a site with a rich historical background, dating back to its origins as a cotton mill during the Industrial Revolution. The site, which was once bustling with the production of cotton textiles, illustrates the transition from the traditional textile industry to modern engineering.
Bott Ltd and Velden Engineering share several key similarities as prominent players in the UK’s manufacturing and engineering sectors. Similar to bott, Velden excels in providing customised solutions tailored to their client’s specific needs. Emphasising high-quality standards and innovation, they invest in advanced technologies to deliver first-class products and services.
Velden needed a dedicated area within its factory to centralise production operations, workspace planning, and quality controls. Aimed at revolutionising its manufacturing processes, this ground breaking initiative led to the creation of Velden’s new Industry 4.0 Manufacturing Hub, setting a new benchmark in efficiency and productivity.
Industry 4.0, also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, integrates various technological advancements to enhance productivity, flexibility, and competitiveness. Velden designed its state-of-the-art hub as a contained, transparent room with full visibility of its surroundings within the factory, allowing engineers to enter as needed. This ‘clean room’ that is separate from the robust machinery, is a space for cutting-edge technology and IT systems to be maintained in a controlled environment, guaranteeing Velden’s quality and control of products.
‘With our previous experiences using bott, we were confident in the durability and quality of bott products, knowing they are built to last’.
