About Us

Engineering Manufacturing Research (EMR) is based on several key manufacturing research groups in; Welding and Joining of steel and light alloys; Automation and Robotics; and Bulk Materials Handling.These strategic areas are supported by a Power Quality and Reliability Centre and two Intelligent Mechatronics Groups. Extensive use is made of computer aided design, numerical modelling and computer simulation techniques, and this is supported by experimental work in several large laboratories equipped with substantial state-of-the-art equipment and systems at the forefront of International Industry’s ‘best practice’.
