创新区位于城市的郊区，拥有允许100万平方英尺的制造，办公和配送设施。
Factory 2050是本网站上的第一种结构，专为先进制造目的而设计。该建筑是6,730平方米的仪表空间，可以完全重新配置，以满足生产需求，并随时安装Kuka 6轴机器人手臂和自动导向车辆（AGVS）。
总结审计谢菲尔德和兰开夏郡的公关ofessor Keith Burnet, President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sheffield, says
Between the geographies of the Sheffield City Region and Lancashire lies a unique opportunity. One which the UK economy desperately needs. Here lie the components required to equip the UK to deliver the vision of the 4th industrial revolution, Industry 4.0.
As we look towards a third wave of Science and Innovation Audits, and government funded projects such as an International Advanced Manufacturing Park for the North East, it becomes clear that when Industry 4.0 hits, the UK is going to be ready, and the Northern Powerhouse will be front and center.
