Following the recent opening of its Dublin office, Renovotec has been featured in the latest September/October 2026 Irish Manufacturing, with Technical Director Jamie Mottershead discussing the evolving technology needs of the manufacturing sector, improving operational efficiency and preparing for future growth.
The feature explores how manufacturers are taking a more practical approach to digital transformation, alongside the importance of reliable technology infrastructure and accessible local technical support.
A practical approach to digital transformation
Manufacturers continue to face pressure to increase productivity, improve accuracy and minimise operational downtime. However, achieving these improvements does not always require large-scale technology transformation.
In the feature, Jamie discusses how manufacturers are increasingly prioritising smaller, targeted technology projects that address specific operational challenges and deliver measurable results.
Rather than replacing entire systems, businesses are focusing on practical improvements that can enhance day-to-day operations while supporting longer-term technology strategies.
This approach enables manufacturers to make more focused investments, reduce disruption and build on existing infrastructure as operational requirements evolve.
Preparing manufacturing operations for future technologies
As manufacturers explore emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), having the right technology foundations in place remains essential.
Jamie highlights the importance of reliable hardware, connectivity and cybersecurity in supporting both current operations and future digital developments. By considering these requirements early, manufacturers can strengthen operational reliability and ensure their technology infrastructure is better positioned to accommodate future innovation
