Dynamic customer requirements, intricate manufacturing processes, and a sudden upsurge of distributed assets have led to manufacturing transformation. Smart and sustainable manufacturing, as it is called, is basically smartly optimizing resources at the system level to achieve higher productivity and operational efficiency.

An explainer on how Sahajanand Laser Technology Ltd (SLTL), a pioneer in the field of lasers, came up with a cost-effective solution for a Dolphin company to help it achieve quality pipe marking that could last, with the reduction in manpower, production downtime and scrap as other perks.

Preventive Maintenance is a comprehensive, regular, and routine maintenance of machines or equipment that helps reduce the likelihood of their failure, thus saving on downtime and expensive repair costs.

Driven by its commitment to produce best-in-class motorcycles, Bajaj Auto Ltd became the first company in India to implement Universal Robots' cobots for its assembly lines. The results, as expected, were enhanced production capabilities, improved ergonomics and evolved offerings.

The company, upon its arrival, ushered in a wave of revolution in sheet metal fabrication which was still quite nascent in the country. Since then it has been leading the industry with prime focus on customer success through well researched products, process and strong after sales support. A run-through of Amada's strategies that have taken it to the top.

A machine-monitoring system is basically installed to achieve an improvement in utilization. But that's just the start of the slew of benefits that can be derived through it.

There has been a strong surge in demand in the sectors that are dependent on the metal forming segment for providing them manufacturing machinery. This spells a bright future for the machine tools industry.

Developed with inputs from customers, SafeMove2 by ABB is an advanced robot monitoring software package that performs safety certified monitoring of robot motion, tool and standstill supervision as well as speed limitation. The new version's added capabilities allow better flexibility, space savings and cutting edge commissioning tools for more productivity at a lower total investment cost.

With favorable factors such as low labor costs; easy availability of manpower and expertise; high growth markets and active support from the government's new policies, India is all set to catapult itself into a world-class arena for global aerospace players.

High-strength steels and laser welding are increasingly popular in powertrain manufacturing. But combining those two things leads to a significant risk of hot crack formation. Now there's a solution.
