New AI-powered LMS launched at a critical time for UK manufacturers navigating evolving regulatory landscapes

To help manufacturing businesses keep pace with the evolving regulatory environment, Access Learning, part of The Access Group, has launched the latest version of its comprehensive LMS (learning management system), powered with new AI & engagement capabilities.

At a time when manufacturing firms are under pressure to cut costs without compromising productivity, the new AI-powered learning platform, Access LMS Evo, provides enhanced efficiency and support with the introduction of Access Copilot; AI-powered learning tools that streamline administrative tasks, provide personalised training recommendations and deliver actionable insights, allowing organisations to focus on driving real business outcomes through great learning experiences.

With manufacturing regulations covering areas such as health and safety, environmental standards, and supply chain oversight, businesses need efficient training solutions that help employees stay compliant while integrating learning into their daily workflow.

Regulations in the UK manufacturing sector have undergone rapid transformation over the past decade, driven by factors such as Brexit, health and safety developments, sustainability goals, and shifting trade agreements. This evolving landscape demands that manufacturers continuously adapt, with 54% struggling to plan investments and R&D around these frequent changes.
Shaped by insights from over 3,000 customers, Access LMS Evo tackles one of the biggest frustrations in workforce learning; relevance. Drawing from marketing principles, the platform provides features to promote and effectively deliver industry specific content to learners, ensuring training directly addresses skills gaps and business needs.

These innovations help manufacturers deliver targeted training, track compliance, and ensure employees remain engaged, informed and prepared for regulatory changes.

Strategic nudges, gamification, and immersive experiences help to keep learners motivated and curious, with milestones to create a sense of progress, and intuitive content discovery to explore new topics and foster a culture of continuous learning - ensuring that employees are equipped with the knowledge to prevent, detect, and recover from operational incidents.

Elliot Gowans, general manager at Access Learning, part of The Access Group, said:
"The manufacturing industry has shown remarkable adaptability in response to evolving regulations, but staying compliant should not be a burden. As regulations continue to shift, manufacturers need smarter training solutions to ensure workforce readiness and operational resilience. Access LMS Evo helps businesses instill a culture of compliance, keeping employees engaged and well-prepared for industry demands.

"With increasing regulatory complexity, manufacturers require learning solutions that are not only comprehensive but also flexible and accessible. By integrating AI-powered automation, role-specific training, and mobile-optimised learning, we help businesses meet compliance requirements efficiently while fostering a proactive learning culture that drives long-term success."
