We would like to demonstrate these technologies in a cell that is designed to read and write data during the automatic disassembly of an electric motor. This is an ideal demonstration scenario as the key driver behind the introduction of Digital Passports is that they should enable greater circularity in manufacturing industries. As well as acting as a research tool the cell should also be designed to facilitate the AMRC's aim of advancing UK manufacturing by demonstrating key technologies to UK manufacturers during visits to our facility. Please note that the work of the AMRC involves exploring new technologies which have the potential to deliver benefits to UK manufacturing; we are not a manufacturing organisation looking for a production ready solution. ## CPV classification Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) Research, testing and scientific technical simulator Machine tools Special-purpose machine tools Miscellaneous special-purpose machinery Industrial robots Workshop equipment Software programming and consultancy services Industry specific software development services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-0661c6-2026-10-02T08:56:15+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-0661c6-2026-10-02T08:56:15+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
