When purchasing any industry-related machinery, it is beneficial to purchase directly from the manufacturer rather than a secondary supplier. But, what are the benefits you are going to receive when purchasing from the manufacturer. Building A Good RelationshipWhen you purchase from the manufacturer it gives you the opportunity to build a relationship with them yourself. […]
A common worry in the manufacturing industry, especially now surround Covid-19 and Brexit is supply chain disruptions. There are a few ways that you can prevent these disruptions from occurring. It is important to remember that sometimes disruptions cannot be controlled, but these tips will help them to be prevented. Monitor Demand ShiftsKeep an eye […]
It was recently reported on in the media that China and its 600 factories produce 60% of all the decorations in the world. This is quite astonishing really, and when we say decorations, we mean items such as tinsel, stockings of every size, plastic Christmas trees in blue and yellow and fluorescent pink, plastic pine […]
In order to speed up a production line, the manufacturing processes themselves can usually be improved in order to increase the overall efficiency of the line. However, there are some instances where improving a single process doesn’t have an over-arching effect on the rest of the systems. When attempting to improve a manufacturing process, it’s […]
To understand the difference between a production line and an assembly line it helps to look at how each method creates a final product. While each process is similar, there are a few fundamental differences between these two types of manufacture. In a standard production line, products move from station to station simultaneously. On each […]
There’s a trick in figuring out how a plastic item has been made, and that’s by looking at the number of those items being created. Some plastic goods can be made at home, where as others involve the investment of extensive equipment. The manufacturing processes that require low investments are often craft based, and tend to […]
It’s often the case that a manufacturing line makes use of various different laser tools. Lasers, while precise and accurate are powerful machines and require the right safety mechanisms to comply with regulations. Laser safety viewing windows are one such way of ensuring a laser is protected against to a high standard. Laser safety viewing […]
It is an unfortunate fact that many building sites see criminal damage and theft when the area is not in use. It’s during these times that vehicles are often left stationary and unmanned, making them prime targets for criminals and vandals. Many building companies opt for expensive security options, however not all can afford to […]
All building materials have an embodied energy within them. While this sounds like mysticim it does have a scientific explanation. The embodied energy is the energy used throughout the lifecycle of the material; from the processing of raw materials, to manufacturing through to product delivery. If a building is constructed with poorly chosen materials, the embodied […]
When planning a new kitchen, a barrier island is often a strong consideration and for good reason. They are a popular feature among home owners and can look great if placed well. Functionally the large island helps to direct the flow of traffic around the kitchen work space, offering more room to nearby community seating […]
Production control is widely used within many different industries. When applied to a specific operation, it can help to manage as well as streamline a production process. When applied to manufacturing processes, production control can help to manage the real-time work-flow of a manufacturing line. For production control to work effectively, a production control manager is usually […]
Electronic products have seen a huge rise in their popularity and subsequent use over the last few decades. As a result, more of these products were produced, and a large focus on their manufacture was put upon Electronic Manufacturing Services. During this time, Electronic Manufacturing Service (EMS) Companies have focused on printed circuit board fabrication of electronic products, […]
Designing a camera is an intricate and specialized process. The Camera design is an essential part of the manufacturing process. Without an accurate design, a functioning camera can not be produced. In order to create these designs, the design itself begins with a conceptualisation and evaluation of the product the potential market and the needs of the consumer for […]
In manufacturing, a system is a combination of parts or components, which work together to control a task or activity. All systems have inputs, a process, and outputs. Most systems need to be controlled in some way, this is usually handled by a feedback loop. a feedback loop checks the outputs and feeds the information back into […]
