ABOUT ROB SMITH
I’m an Innovation Manager at WMG, helping SME manufacturers adopt digital technologies, improve operational efficiency and modernise manufacturing processes through practical scalable solutions.My background combines over 15 years of experience across engineering, process improvement and business development with hands-on technical knowledge in software development, automation and digital systems. Having worked closely with manufacturers throughout my career, I understand both the commercial pressures and operational challenges faced by SMEs, from production bottlenecks and disconnected systems to process inefficiencies and limited continuous improvement adoption. I\'m particularly interested in the intersection of- Digital transformation- Business systems (ERM/MRP/MES)- Process improvement & automation- AI & emerging technologies- Smart manufacturing / Industry 4.0- Software & data-driven decision makingAlongside mechanical engineering I have knowledge of full-stack software development with experience covering: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, Django, databases, cloud deployment and modern development workflows. This allows me to bridge the gap between technical teams, operational stakeholders and business objectives. I enjoy turning complex or fragmented processes into practical solutions that deliver measurable improvements for manufacturers.
