The Autumn Budget: Driving Manufacturing Productivity with Advanced Technology Solutions

The Autumn Budget’s increase in employer National Insurance Contributions presents new cost challenges for manufacturing businesses, making it essential to enhance productivity. At Fairfield Control Systems, we believe technology is the solution. By integrating advanced systems—such as Mixed Reality, Smart Tools, Digital Work Instructions, and IoT platforms—we empower businesses to streamline operations, enable real-time task guidance, and unlock data-driven insights that support efficiency and innovation.

Oliver Mangham our Applications Director, explains, “Many businesses, including ours, have contracts, agreements, and frameworks where increased costs cannot simply be passed on. Efforts need to be made to minimise the impact of these additional costs on employees’ pay and consumer prices. The way to achieve this is by increasing productivity, and technology is the answer.”

If your business hasn’t yet considered how technology can transform productivity, now is the time. We’re here to help you leverage these tools for sustainable growth in a challenging economic landscape.
