As the manufacturing sector recovers from the COVID-19 interruption, one thing has become clear: Skilled worker shortages will continue to expand, and stamping operations need to prepare and adjust to meet this challenge. According to 21% of candidates in a recent survey organized by a major manufacturing technologies company, automation is one area where COVID-19 revealed opportunities for innovation. Metal forming procedures that automate waste streams and make use of the industrial internet of things (IIoT) will be more productive for a more prosperous future since they will require less human resources on the shop floor. Also, automation improves workplace safety by encouraging people to keep a physical distance from one another and by minimizing total interaction with tools and equipment. #Thermallaminationmachine #Hotfoilstampingmachine #Guillotinepapercuttingmachine #Papercuttingmachine #Papercorrugationmachine #Corrugationmachine #Diecuttingmachine Visit: https://lnkd.in/gK6V5F3y

HORN HRD-BEAM - Contactless glass level measurement based on radar technology A constant glass level in the melting end is a very important control component in the glass melting process. Glass level variations influence the steady operation of the furnace and have a significant influence on the gob weight. By incorporating radar technology to measure glass levels, HORN has developed a very precise technology in glass production. The high measuring accuracy of the HORN HRD-BEAM allows the precise control of the glass level together with all common charging machines. The HORN HRD-BEAM reduces all maintenance work to a minimum because no mechanical moving parts are built in. This radar technology does not only set new standards in the glass industry, it also leads to enhanced production quality, lower error rates and contributes to a more sustainable and profitable manufacturing process. Seven systems, which were sold in 2023 and 4 systems which have been sold so far in 2024, are proof of customers' trust in HORN technology. Join us at glasstec 2024 to find out how Radar Measurement can benefit your furnace project. Read more at: https://lnkd.in/eVJqGhSa

The installation of the new #molding equipment and #Industry4 technology commenced in November 2023, with MBAF swiftly initiating production just 14 days after installation began. Since then, MBAF has witnessed remarkable improvements, including a doubling of mold production rates, from 40 molds/hour to 80 molds/hour, and a substantial 50% reduction in scrap. Moreover, the elimination of ergonomic and safety issues associated with manual handling has further increased #productivity, #efficiency and workplace conditions, enabling MBAF to expand their operations and increase revenue. https://lnkd.in/e9zBEKqj #foundry #manufacturing #automatedmolding #moldhandling

Innovation in Action: Elevating Production Efficiency at GKD We are excited to share enhancements to our production capabilities through the strategic utilization of our Okuma MA500 horizontal mill. While initially acquired for a high mix/low volume family of parts, we are always adapting to changing market dynamics in order to continue delivering tangible value to our customers. Thanks to the expertise and fresh perspective our new programmer Liam Seward brings to the table, we are unlocking a new era of productivity with the Okuma MA500. Liam's innovative approach is revolutionizing our milling operations, particularly in optimizing for automation and high production. For instance, leveraging use of the pallet changer allows us to produce complete components in multiple operations with minimal spindle downtime - all accomplished with a single setup. Furthermore, through implementing features such as tool life management and automatic breakage detection, we can ensure uninterrupted operations and consistently high quality throughout every project, regardless of size, without compromising on precision or reliability. At GKD, we're dedicated to embracing new technologies and machining strategies to continue delivering exceptional results for our clients in the oil and gas industry and beyond. It's not just about pushing boundaries; it's about delivering real value to our customers. With our enhanced capabilities we can tackle projects with unparalleled agility, meeting deadlines without compromising on precision or quality. Stay tuned as we continue to harness the power of cutting-edge technology to drive progress and excellence in everything we do.
