We take a look at key events and stories that happened at MSP in the month of May.
Expertise article: Automated Manufacturing Systems: Why Do You Need Automation?
Automated manufacturing - it’s not as scary as it sounds! In our latest article we shared this month, we detailed the benefits automation can provide for CNC machining processes. For example:
- Improved productivity
- Improved quality
- Increased safety
- More confidence
- Increased sustainability
Read the full article here to learn how to achieve these benefits for your own machining processes.
MSP announced to speak at Composites UK event
MSP’s Technical Account Manager, Aidan Wigham, was announced as a speaker at the Composites UK ‘Digitalisation Sector Showcase’ event on 6th June.
The event will highlight how digitalisation can offer opportunities for manufacturers to optimise processes, reduce waste and increase production quality.
Aidan’s presentation will centre around answering the following question: ‘Could Metrology Software be the Answer to Eliminating Scrapped Parts?’.

MSP help Vert Technologies reduce machine performance analysis from 2 months to 10 minutes
We were delighted to share how we’ve helped Compressor manufacturer, Vert Technologies, this month. And the results are quite astounding!
- Machine performance analysis reduced from 2 months to JUST 10 minutes
- A 25% out of tolerance part rate reduced to near 0%
- Run-out of parts reduced from as much as 120μm to approximately 25μm

Industrial Cadets Sponsorship
Following the success of the initiative last year, we were delighted to announce our sponsorship of another Industrial Cadets programme this month!
We have been supporting 6 students from James Calvert Spence College over a 12-week period on an Industrial Cadets Bronze Project to design an app around health and technology. The app uses AI to emotionally and practically score a user’s questionnaire and then suggest relevant local mental health guidance, clubs, sports and activities to them.
The students visited MSP’s offices this month to meet their mentor,Alex, and receive guidance from him on their app creation. We wish them luck with the completion of the project!
World Metrology Day 2023
Our products all centre around metrology and every year we like to mark World Metrology Day!
This year’s theme of World Metrology Day 2023 is ‘measurements supporting the global food system’. Sadly, at MSP, this doesn’t apply to us so we thought we’d share the area of metrology we are concerned with: CNC manufacturing.
Take a look at this little video showcasing just what metrology can provide for the CNC manufacturing industry.
Promoting careers in STEM subjects
This month, two of our Software Developers, Alex and James attended James Calvert Spence College's annual Careers Fair hoping to inspire students about the world of work and STEM careers.
They spent the day educating students about the different paths within the manufacturing industry and their own experiences as Software Engineers.
MSP was one of many businesses attending, with others including building societies, universities and the NHS, and we were delighted to highlight the exciting job opportunities manufacturing and engineering has to offer.
Thanks to the organisers for arranging such a fantastic event.
Renishaw Nordic 20th Anniversary Open House
MSP’s products showcased at the Renishaw Nordic 20th Anniversary Open House this month.
Attendees at the event were able to learn how MSP’s products work in conjunction with Renishaw’s solutions to deliver precision measuring and CNC machining.
Automate Show 2023
This month, our Commercial Director and Director of Development were at Automate 2023 in Detroit to support Renishaw with the launch of their Industrial Automation products, particularly their new robot calibration hardware. These products make robot setup, health checks and recovery of robot applications a lot easier.
MSP is proud to be helping Renishaw to write the communications server that enables the robot calibration hardware to work with various robot controller types.
