ABOUT BEN H.
With over 20 years of experience in digital engineering and advanced manufacturing. Leading projects within the UK’s Digital Supply Chain Hub, I focus on developing and applying Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) practices and Digital Thread strategies that improve data flow, interoperability, and collaboration across complex supply chains.In my current role, I draw from a strong background in CAD and CAM (both for composites and beyond), covering areas like automated fibre placement, design for manufacturing, and automated programming. My work has supported industry leaders like BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, and Siemens Digital Industries Software, using MBE to solve real challenges in data accuracy and process efficiency. I’ve also led efforts to create MBD standards, conducting nearly tests to ensure interoperability and data integrity across different software platforms.I’m passionate about driving smoother, more reliable data exchange across the manufacturing lifecycle, helping suppliers of all sizes adopt MBE practices. Through practical, standards-based solutions, I’m committed to advancing UK industry towards more connected, digitally-driven processes.
