Replace, remanufacture or repair? If I asked you to think of the three Rs of the environment, you’d probably say reduce, reuse, recycle. In manufacturing plants striving for affordable, sustainable operations, three other words spring to mind. Ever since the first industrial revolution, the manufacturing sector has been dominated by a linear business model based on the “take, make, use and dispose” paradigm. However, the shortcomings of a linear economy have become evident in recent years, as natural resources are being depleted and commodity prices increase accordingly. Consequently, a regenerative model in which components are used multiple times is hailed by many for its economic and environmental advantages. When equipment breaks, it is frustrating, inconvenient and not always straightforward to deal with. The manufacturer is faced with a decision of what to do next, replace it with a new component, repair it or remanufacture it. Replacing a component may sound like the easiest way to resolve the issue, but it isn’t always the cheapest option. Instead, tapping into the circular economy by opting for a repaired or remanufactured part can be an effective way to minimise downtime and benefit the environment.

Human-machine collaboration Easy-to-integrate and flexible robotic solutions were front and centre at Automate. There was a conference program dedicated to collaborative robots, with new product releases announced by some of the biggest players in the sector. For example, Boston Dynamics, the manufacturer of Spot, one of the world's most beloved robots, announced some interesting new entries to the company’s portfolio. That included dynamic and compact solutions designed to access spaces most robots can’t reach while still handling large payloads, such as Stretch, a multipurpose warehouse robot which represents the company’s first venture into warehouse automation. However, many businesses are concerned about the complexity of commissioning and integrating a cobot. In answer to these concerns, Automate presented different deployment methods suited to all needs, including classic integration and customisable robots. There are also do-it-yourself plug and play solutions that require no coding at all. Robotiq, for example, offered a session comparing different integration methods, some of which include easy-to-follow tutorials showing how to set up a cobot’s workflow simply by moving its arm in the desired direction. FANUC stressed that manufacturers, when considering the ROI of robotics and automation, should go beyond cost reduction and consider other key variables. These include empowering skilled workers, improving staff engagement and morale, and promoting a cultural shift towards embracing future technologies. Automate stressed the need for applications that are truly collaborative, allowing humans and robots to get the best out of each other.

Stop Procrastinating Industrial equipment is designed to be in operation for decades, which is why some control systems installed in the 1980s are still reliably operating today. However, legacy equipment might present some challenges that need to be carefully addressed before disaster strikes. To do this, it is essential to keep track of equipment life cycles and to be mindful of the risks associated with aging systems. Like with all tasks that require careful planning, manufacturers might be tempted to procrastinate and run their assets to failure. In our experience, this is not due to negligence, but to the pressure to keep production up and running to meet increasingly tight deadlines. As a consequence, maintenance engineers might be aware that a core piece of equipment has reached its end-of-life, but the company might have no concrete plans for addressing and managing the problems that will inevitably arise. The first one is that, as newer models reach the market, there will be fewer spare parts available for legacy equipment. In this case, manufacturers will need to liaise with a supplier that specialises in obsolete automation components to avoid the risk of buying from unreliable sources. Just like spare parts, skills can also become obsolete. So, another common issue is that as machines get older, it will be harder to find personnel and external experts who can advise and assist on their maintenance. Finally, regulatory compliance can also become an issue, as requirements for health and safety, energy efficiency and emissions change over time. 6SN1123-1AA00-0HA1 6SN1123-1AA00-0AA2 6SE7090-0XX84-0AD1 6SL3217-0CE27-5UA1 6SL3217-0CE25-5UA1 6FC5111-0BA01-0AA0 6AV6645-7AB10-0AS0 6AV7422-2FD03-0AS0 6FC5500-0AA00-2AA0 6ES7621-1AD02-0AE3 6AG4104-1AA02-1BX0 1FK7063-5AF71-1FB5 6FM2805-4AS31 6FC5370-2AT02-0CA0 6FC5370-6AA30-0WA0 6SN1118-0DH21-0AA1 2198-D006-ERS3 HIEE305120R0002 HIEE405246R0002 3BHE014967R0002 3BHE014967R0001 3ADT309600R0002 3BHE003855R001 3ADT309600R0012 3BHE006422R0001 3BHE009319R0001 3BHB005922R0001 HIEE305106R0001 3BHB006338R0001 SPCD3D53 3BHE004059R0001 HIEE305098R0001 1783-BMS10CL 1783-BMS20CA 1783-BMS20CGL 1783-BMS20CGN 1783-BMS20CGP 1783-BMS20CL 1783-BMS10CA 1783-BMS10CGL 1783-BMS10CGN 1783-BMS10CGP 1783-US16T 1783-US5T 1783-US8T 1769-L24ERQB1B 1769-IQ16 1769-PB4 We still have a lot of PLC/DCS/ESD/TSI automation spare parts module in stock, contact us quickly for prices. +86 18030235311 jessica01235483 info@apterpower.com hu18030235311

Plug and play technology Plug and play devices can help manufacturers improve productivity of existing assembly lines without the cost of replacing a whole system. These devices can be taken out of the box, added to the production line and will work on the line immediately without configuration or testing. Using plug and play technology can simplify how manufacturers adapt and maintain the production line. Unplanned downtime can be costly for manufacturers, particularly if the machine requires a specialist maintenance engineer to fix it. By investing in plug and play devices, manufacturers can simply unplug and replace the machine without the cost of bringing in an external engineer. These devices are easy to both install and remove from the production line, so manufacturers can quickly adapt the production line if necessary. For example, if manufacturers want to make a small batch of unique items for a customer, they can adapt the line and start producing a completely new product with little downtime. 8305E 8306E 8310 3003 3004 3005 3006 3007 3008 3501E 3501T 3502E 3503E 3504A 3504E 3510 4210 4211 4305A 4329 4351B 4400 4507 4609 3BHE014967R0002 3BHE014967R0001 3ADT309600R0002 3BHE003855R001 3ADT309600R0012 3BHE006422R0001 3BHE009319R0001 3BHB005922R0001 HIEE305106R0001 3BHB006338R0001 SPCD3D53 3BHE004059R0001 HIEE305098R0001 HIEE305120R0002 HIEE405246R0002 3BHB004661R0101 KUC711AE 3BHB004661R0001 KUC711AE 3BHB000272R0001 UFC719AE01 3BAB002916R0001 UFC721AE HIEE300927R0001 UBC717AE01 HIEE300885R0001 PPC380AE01 HIEE300936R0001 UFC718AE01 3BHB000652R0001 KUC720AE01 CI534V02 3BSE010700R1 3533E 3564 3601E 3601T 3603E 3603T 3604A 3604E 3611E 3614E 3624 3625 3636R 3636T 3700 3700A 3703E 3704E 3708E 4107 4119 4119A 4200 4201 We still have a lot of PLC/DCS/TSI/ESD Module in stock, contact us quickly for prices. +86 18030235311 jessica01235483 info@apterpower.com hu18030235311

Making sense of data Businesses across all sectors are considering how they can benefit from digitisation. By introducing digital platforms and processes to the business, managers can improve efficiency and reduce costs to remain competitive in their respective sector. Digitisation can impact a variety of areas in the business, such as storing documents, managing workflow and allowing employees to access data remotely. Businesses can also collect huge amounts of data from a growing number of sources to monitor business performance, productivity and consumer behaviour. For example, manufacturers can now fit sensors to machines around the facility to monitor the environment and the equipment’s condition to ensure everything runs at full capacity. Do you speak data? Leadership teams require insight into what their data means, so that they can use it to make strategic decisions. To do this, they can employ data scientists to help collect and analyse data, interpret the findings and create a report that management can read easily. However, this can be a time-consuming process and by the time management sees meaningful data it might be too late to prevent an issue from occurring. For example, manufacturing companies can attach sensors to a robot to monitor machine condition. The management team must be able to read the report to understand when a machine is not performing at full capacity. At this point they can contact an industrial parts supplier and source a part that will fix the machine, preventing the risk of site downtime. 6SN1123-1AA00-0HA1 6SN1123-1AA00-0AA2 6SE7090-0XX84-0AD1 6SL3217-0CE27-5UA1 6SL3217-0CE25-5UA1 6FC5111-0BA01-0AA0 6AV6645-7AB10-0AS0 6AV7422-2FD03-0AS0 6FC5500-0AA00-2AA0 6ES7621-1AD02-0AE3 6AG4104-1AA02-1BX0 1FK7063-5AF71-1FB5 6FM2805-4AS31 6FC5370-2AT02-0CA0 6FC5370-6AA30-0WA0 6SN1118-0DH21-0AA1 6DD1683-0CH0 6DD1600-0BA1 6DD1661-0AE0 6DD1661-0AD0 6DD1640-0AH0 3BHE014967R0002 3BHE014967R0001 3ADT309600R0002 3BHE003855R001 3ADT309600R0012 3BHE006422R0001 3BHE009319R0001 3BHB005922R0001 HIEE305106R0001 3BHB006338R0001 3BHE004059R0001 HIEE305098R0001 HIEE305120R0002 HIEE405246R0002 YPQ202A YT204001-KB DSDO110 57160001-K DSDI120A 57160001-ACA DSCS131 57310001-LM DSMB176 57960001-HX YPK107E 3ASD489301A410 YPP109A 48931006-AV 1783-BMS10CL 1783-BMS20CA 1783-BMS20CGL 1783-BMS20CGN 1783-BMS20CGP 1783-BMS20CL 1783-BMS10CA 1783-BMS10CGL 1783-BMS10CGN 1783-BMS10CGP 1783-US16T 1783-US5T 1783-US8T 1769-L24ERQB1B 1769-IQ16 1769-PB4 1769-OB16 1769-L30ER 1769-L24ERQBFC1B 1769-L33ER 1769-OF2 We still have a lot of PLC/DCS/TSI/ESD Module in stock, contact us quickly for prices. +86 18030235311 jessica01235483 info@apterpower.com hu18030235311

The Human Touch Can a robot have feelings? Some robots are programmed to show emotion, from online artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot assistants to Sophia the social humanoid robot who can give emotional responses in a conversation. These robots might be able to simulate emotions, but will they ever be able to experience senses such as touch? More industries are beginning to invest in automation to improve productivity across the supply chain. Robots are often introduced to an assembly line to complete jobs that require the accuracy, repeatability and speed that cannot be completed to the same standard by a human. These large, industrial robots can also complete the dull, dirty and dangerous jobs so that human workers can concentrate on other tasks. Manufacturers can invest in robots to perform these more difficult tasks at a faster rate. However, there are still tasks on the assembly line that require the dexterity and touch of a human, particularly in the warehouse. Collaborative robots have become very popular in the last ten years as they can be placed anywhere in the facility to assist humans in their work without putting them in harm’s way. While this area of robotics is more precise and softer than an industrial robot it is still not the best way to handle fragile goods. 3BHE014967R0002 3BHE014967R0001 3ADT309600R0002 3BHE003855R001 3ADT309600R0012 3BHE006422R0001 3BHE009319R0001 3BHB005922R0001 HIEE305106R0001 3BHB006338R0001 SPCD3D53 3BHE004059R0001 HIEE305098R0001 HIEE305120R0002 HIEE405246R0002 3BHE005555R0101 3BHE020959R0127 3BHE009017R0102 3BHB020538R0001 5SHX 1000H0003 YPQ202A YT204001-KB DSDO110 57160001-K DSDI120A 57160001-ACA DSCS131 57310001-LM DSMB176 57960001-HX YPK107E 3ASD489301A410 YPP109A 48931006-AV DSTA131 57120001-CV YXI116A YT204001-AN DSTD110A YB161102-AM YXI115B YI204001-AL DSMB178 IN5730-1001-Y CI522A 3BSE018283R1 YPN107A YT201001-DM YPQ102F YT204001-KF DSAI130 57120001-P YPQ201A YT204001-KA CS513 3BSE000435R1 CI532V02 3BSE003827R1 DSPC172 57310001-ML 1783-BMS10CL 1783-BMS20CA 1783-BMS20CGL 1783-BMS20CGN 1783-BMS20CGP 1783-BMS20CL 1783-BMS10CA 1783-BMS10CGL 1783-BMS10CGN 1783-BMS10CGP 2198D020ERS3 2198D020ERS4 2198D032ERS3 2198D057ERS3 2198D012ERS3 2198H025ERS 2198H070ERS2 2198H018ERS2 2198H018ERS 2198H003ERS UR9EV URRHV UR6EV UR6AV URSHB UR8LV UR7CV UR7CV UR6NH UR6UH UR6TH UR9GH UR9HH UR8HH UR8LH URRHH IS220PAICH2A IS220PDOAH1A IS220PDIAH1A IS220PTCCH1A We still have a lot of PLC/DCS/TSI/ESD Module in stock, contact us quickly for prices. +86 18030235311 jessica01235483 info@apterpower.com hu18030235311

Be smart with data collection Energy harvesting sensors operate by gathering certain types of energy, such as kinetic, solar and thermal power from a piece of machinery and using it to obtain electric power. As a result, these sensors require no batteries to acquire and send data. Applying these devices in a machine-to-machine (M2M) sensor network could eliminate the need for grid-based power and primary batteries, creating a maintenance-free, battery-free and cable-free way of gathering and transmitting data in a manufacturing facility. When activated, an energy harvesting sensor takes a measurement and transmits the data to a central system, before returning to its dormant state.The sensors are already being used in a number of applications, particularly those that require long term monitoring of events associated with strain, temperature, currents, voltages and magnetic fields. However, they were traditionally designed to improve the monitoring of high-geared ball and linearly-actuated valves used in propulsion testing to predict valve life span. Energy harvesting allows for the use of environment-friendly, clean technology that reduces energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. For plant managers, transitioning to sensors of this type could reduce energy bills and help meet energy efficiency standards, such as ISO 14001.Plant managers can also retrofit these sensors to existing equipment on the factory floor. Effectively, these sensors operate as a standalone piece of equipment and can be attached to numerous pieces of machinery, from a valve actuator, to a motor. This allows plant managers to receive data from the machine, typically related to performance, and use it to plan maintenance and identify breakdowns. As a result, the data allows plant managers to avoid unnecessary downtime. In instances where equipment breakdowns occur, plant managers need fast access to replacement parts, which is where EU Automation can help. Partnering with an automation parts supplier like us means that you won’t be left out of operation while a replacement part is sourced, shipped and fitted.
