Fujifilm to host ‘RS Live’ truck

Fujifilm Speciality Ink Systems is to bring RS Components ‘RS Live’ mobile experience to Broadstairs to demonstrate innovative manufacturing technology including The Internet of Things and 3D Printing to its workforce and local community.

The visit on 10 January has been arranged after Fujifilm’s manufacturing team toured the mobile RS truck at Work Management’s (WM) Manufacturing Management Show (MMS) last November.

The 21.8m articulated vehicle aims to take employees and students on an educational journey through six interactive zones – design, build, maintain, store, RS Pro and purchase – as well as interact with the latest solutions.

Two groups of engineering students from East Kent College have also been invited to the Fujifilm site on Tuesday to visit the 35-tonne truck.

They will get the opportunity to meet graduate Fujifilm apprentice Lee Suter, who was announced as rising star at WM’s Manufacturing Champions Awards 2016 in December.
