Everything You Need to Know About Machinery Manufacturing

1. Everything You Need to Know About Machinery Manufacturing

2. Machinery manufacturing has been a central pillar of the industry from the first to the fourth industrial revolution. The increasing digitization of manufacturing is changing the way machines are designed and built • A machine uses energy to control movement to perform a task or action, reducing the amount of human work required to complete it. In a typical machine, a mechanism triggers the activation of an actuator, which applies force and motion. Machines can also be mechanical systems, including computers and sensors to control and monitor output.

3. The idea of ​​simple machines has been around since the 3rd century, when the Greek philosopher Archimedes discovered the principle of mechanical advantage in the lever. He used this discovery to operate simple equipment using levers, pulleys, and screws. Since then, machines have been powered by things as diverse as animals, people, natural forces, chemistry, thermal energy, and electrical energy. • The machinery industry drove the first industrial revolution. At the beginning of the 20th century, factories for automobile and motorcycle machines were built. The development of machinery led to major industrial breakthroughs in key sectors such as the aerospace, automotive, transportation and process industries. • Now almost all workplaces use machinery of some kind, although many consumers are not exposed to the equipment that makes the products they use.

4. A vast industry • Machinery manufacturing encompasses seven major sectors: agriculture, construction equipment and mining machinery, industrial machinery, machinery for the commercial and service industries, metalworking machinery, ventilation, heating, air conditioning (HVAC), and commercial refrigeration equipment. It also includes the manufacture of engines, turbines and power transmission equipment and other general-purpose machinery.

5. The complex machinery manufacturing process relies on various manufacturing methods including forging, stamping, bending, forming and machining of individual metal parts. The pieces are then joined using techniques such as welding and assembly. A machine manufacturing facility will use a multitude of metal forming and fabrication methods to manufacture different machine components. • A large part of the industry is dedicated to the manufacture of machinery for metal working, which manufactures machinery production and tools for forming, shaping and cutting metal. The properties of metal make it difficult to form, which is why specialized grinders, presses, and rollers are made in this industry.

6. A high value market • The sector is thriving. The US machine manufacturing industry includes more than 20,000 companies, generating combined annual revenues of $ 370 billion. The industry has some major players, for example, Caterpillar Inc., whose 2017 revenue was $ 45.5 billion. • In the industrial machinery Asia manufacturing sector, the world market was valued at around $ 115 billion in 2017. According to a report by Global Market Insights, Asia Pacific is a leader in industrial machinery manufacturing, with a market share of 40 % in 2017. Western Europe came in second with 29 percent and the smallest South America with 3 percent market share.

7. Shape and change • In a 2016 Aberdeen Group survey, it was found that customers often ask industrial heavy machinery manufacturers to launch products quickly and produce complex, customized products. Manufacturers are therefore under pressure to build individual, custom machines under increasing time pressures. Small batches of machines, often as small as one, must be built as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. energy costs. • To cope with changing customer demands and increasing digitization, machine builders are embracing new technologies to increase productivity, improve manufacturing and reduce costs. Automation and robotics can improve manufacturing productivity and also offer the benefit of relocating humans to more skilled and creative roles. Therefore, human workers are required to perform tasks more complex than the simple operation of a machine, including the programming and maintenance of machine tools. • Machine builders are also benefiting from the growing trend towards servitization. The industry increasingly relies on contractors for security, administrative and warehouse functions. For example, inventory and parts roles are often outsourced, rather than using trusted third parties to supply and deliver parts when needed - a much simpler process than sourcing them in-house.

8. Design • Because machines last a long time, machine builders must ensure that they design with obsolescence in mind so that the machine can continue to function. Designers can analyze procurement information and avoid opting for parts that are close to obsolescence. Being strategic in the choice of components can have a big impact on the life cycle of the product and ensures that the machine is easy to maintain. • The machines are designed using models and simulations, which can test performance, cost, usability, and more to ensure that the product is reliable and effective. More and more prototypes are going digital, which can speed up the process and enable real-time simulation and testing. • In addition to designing for obsolescence, machine builders are designing for digitization. Your customers are experiencing rapid change as we enter Industry 4.0 and are now demanding smart data-driven equipment capable of connecting via Bluetooth or the Internet to other manufacturing systems. These machines can be connected from day one so that breakdowns can be detected remotely and quickly to avoid machine downtime and reduce repair costs.

9. Working smarter • Machine builders are working to become more profitable based on data collected from their own operations, increasing accuracy and visibility in the supply chain and reducing inventory costs. One way to improve processes is to move from a push-based production solutionssystem to a pull-based one, which helps with demand predictability and increases the ability of manufacturers to respond to customer demands. • Manufacturers are turning to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to help make decisions about how a product should be manufactured, how downtime can be minimized, and how production costs can be reduced.

10. Collaboration between facility workers can help companies produce smarter machines, better processes, and shorten time to market. Internationalization also benefits the industry, as manufacturers are learning techniques from other nations, for example German techniques, which are in great demand. • The machine building industry is working to produce smarter, better and easier to maintain machines, using automated equipment according to information received from the IIoT. This allows machine builders to be more profitable, even with very small batches.
