Nightingale HQ has supported a major UK & EU consortium looking to create greener reinforcement steel manufacturing. The collaboration includes steel manufacturers Midland Steel and Bastal AS, Kuka Robotics, civil engineers OCSC, and research partners VTT, funded by EIT Manufacturing and Innovate UK. A significant part of the project is focused on rebar, which produces more carbon dioxide per unit weight than other construction materials. Nightingale HQ will optimize the planning production process to reduce rebar waste and carbon emissions with standardization, modular prefabrication, building information modeling, and optimization solutions.
CEO Ruth Kearney emphasized the importance of greener software principles for manufacturers in enhancing sustainability and addressing the environmental challenges of the sector. CTO Chris Wilson highlighted the shift to serverless computing as a key element in reducing environmental impact and increasing manufacturing operational efficiency. Nightingale HQ aims to develop greener software principles for clients by 2024.
In summary, Nightingale HQ is contributing to a consortium focused on developing greener reinforcement steel manufacturing by reducing rebar waste and carbon emissions through smarter technology choices and greener practices. The company is committed to developing and implementing sustainable manufacturing practices through its focus on serverless computing.
