Irish Manufacturing Research is a government sponsored initiative that supports the Irish Manufacturing Sector to adopt cutting edge technologies in order to retain a competitive edge in a globalised environment. They work directly with industry partners to de-risk specific elements of emerging technologies.
They de-risk new technology for industry. Due to the novelty of the technology IMR enables industry to address Challenges that no-one has solved before. However, because they are so close to industrial application of these technologies, they have to make sure what they do works, that it is suitable for an established company and it has a reputation and existing production streams to protect.
Vision
IMR’s vision is to enable manufacturing of all sectors and sizes to be leaders in the world of advanced manufacturing so that they can compete and thrive in the global economy. As a leading manufacturing Research & Technology Organisation (RTO) with labs and industrial pilot lines in Dublin and Mullingar, IMR works with leading global and indigenous brands to demystify and derisk new and emerging technologies & to deliver high-impact collaborative research. IMR’s ambition is to significantly accelerate the implementation of key elements of Ireland’s industrial strategy and enable Irish-based manufacturers to be early adopters and winners in the fourth industrial revolution. IMR will enable industry to capitalise on these opportunities and tackle the threats head-on, through a broad-based service offering to ensure industry has access to the latest technologies and knowledge in a timely fashion.
IMR’s comprehensive R&D program offers collaboration across the 4 thematic pillars: Digitisation, Robotics and Automation, Design for Manufacturing and Sustainable Manufacturing, to deliver solutions that enable industry to increase productivity, improve efficiency, upskill and build resilience, win new business and launch new products.
