Obsolete does not necessarily mean used

/in
It is one of those myths that seems all too pervasive that once a machine becomes obsolete (that is, no longer supported by its original equipment manufacturer), it becomes nigh-on impossible to source brand-new parts for it. Part of that myth, of course, is perpetuated by the OEMs themselves. After all, if a machine has been discontinued, the odds are good that they have an improved or upgraded model that they are looking to sell. You can hardly blame them for concentrating their efforts in that direction. Obsolete, but still in use As the premier repairers of factory automation and stockists of machine spare parts to the manufacturing industry, we are often approached by companies looking to replace a part in a machine that, though completely serviceable, is currently obsolete. They come to us in the hope that we might be able to locate a used or second-hand part that will serve them well enough as a stop-gap since new parts are no longer available. To say they are surprised when we can offer them the very part they’re after, brand new and sealed in the original packaging, would be an understatement. Decades of experience We have been supplying spare parts and repairing machinery in the industrial automation industry for decades, and we never throw anything away. We have parts and components from legacy and discontinued products that span the past thirty years. When paired with our highly skilled and professional team of engineers, this means we can offer the same level of support, service, and repair as the original manufacturer would have. A multi-global network Sometimes we don’t have the part you want in stock but, even then, we are busy working for you. Over the decades we have been in business, we have formed contacts within hundreds if not thousands of companies worldwide, many of whom make up part of our trusted network of suppliers. If there is an unopened and unused spare part out there, we’re confident we can find it. If you’re looking for a spare part to a discontinued machine, contact us today and let us find a new one for you.

Industrial Automation: Is it time to upgrade parts of your control system?

/in
Most control systems are comprised of field instruments which are connected to I/O cords, that are then fed to a PLC controller. The more modern your control system, the easier it will be for your facility operators to communicate with the PLC through an up-to-date human machine interface computer. When is the right time to upgrade? It is worth remembering that the lifespan of a HMI computer is similar to that of a standard desktop PC, but the components within PLC controller systems can last much longer. Because replacing a whole system is a large investment, many operators are struggling to use dated, slow machines which still work but don't offer optimum efficiency. It can be hard for managers to decide when it is the right time to budget in the replacement of a control system. One of the most obvious signs that parts of your system need replacing is when it is no longer functioning at optimum performance. When old parts become obsolete Pro Servo can source replacements which ensure your business can avoid a costly replacement of a whole control system. It is not worth struggling by with a poorly functioning machine, which could leave your facility out of action when replacement parts can be sourced. Why upgrade parts of your control system? Many businesses choose to upgrade a fully-functioning control system with replacement components because it can increase efficiency. It could be worth doing the sums to see if updating parts of your system with new components could reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint, as it may not take long to recoup the initial cost outlay. This flexibility allows facility owners to add improved technology to their systems, without the large cost of a whole new control system. For many companies a full control system upgrade is not possible, due to budget constraints. However, careful sourcing of components can lead to a number of benefits to facilities including; increased communication capabilities, energy efficiency and mobile access through mobile devices and cloud-based software. For more information about control systems and the various components and upgrade options we can source, please contact us.

The importance of keeping spares

/in
It's every production team's nightmare - a machine standstill. There's nothing worse than finding yourself hours or even days behind on a job because part of your production line breaking down due to requiring a part replacement. Not only can this cost a significant amount of money and affect business, it also leaves you with employees who you're paying while they are unable to do their jobs further down your workflow process. In an ideal world, you'll have a whole selection of spares tucked away for exactly this kind of situation, and, in fact, for many businesses, a catalogue of components to hand should be considered an essential. However, we know from experience and increasing job pressure that this isn't always the case, and that's when you find yourself stuck. Why keep spares on site? We've already talked about why a broken down machine is never a good thing for business - and why a whole family of spares should be in stock to keep your business up and running. In the current economic climate, having the capacity to be a flexible and agile manufacturing operation is of great advantage, allowing you to take on last-minute or long-term jobs at your will. Keeping a set of spares on hand can ensure your business lives up to its reputation as a reliable, efficient operation that your clients can trust, thanks to less downtime and better-maintained machinery. Efficiency and profitability At Pro Servo, we know the consequences of a delay at any stage in a workflow, and how this can affect the complete time and perceived efficiency of any project.

Could automation show we’re not hard-wired to work?

/in
The coming automation revolution will have a profound effect on our economies and societies, and one of the most important questions being asked is what will people do when AI takes their jobs? It was a problem first addressed by economist John Maynard Keynes, who back in 1930 suggested that within a hundred years, the rise in productivity, combined with technological breakthroughs, could lead to a world in which no-one would need to work more than 15 hours a week. Keynes worried what would happen to us as a species if we were deprived of what he described as our ‘traditional purpose’, by which he meant the urge to work. Despite the fact that advances in productivity and technology mean the utopia that Keynes envisaged could be a reality, most of us are still working as hard as ever, and work still defines us in a significant way, shaping everything from our self-worth to our social status, and concerns about work or losing work play a major part in our politics. Yet science shows us that this urge to work is not a natural part of being human. For evidence of this, we only have to look at hunter-gatherer societies. Research conducted in the 1960s among Bushmen of the Kalahari showed that despite the inhospitable nature of their surroundings they were able to earn a good living yet worked around 15 hours a week. Other studies showed that their attitude to work was influenced most strongly by their belief that the environment would provide for them. They didn’t store supplies and had few needs. The shift to agriculture led to humans being able to produce more food, but it also put us at risk from new threats, from crop failure to diseases spread by livestock, and the only way to insure against these risks was to work harder. As farmers will attest, the amount of food you can extract from your fields depends on how much time and energy you put into working them. But the automation revolution is a moment as significant as the agricultural revolution. In the world’s wealthy countries, we are able to enjoy lives of material plenty and we are producing so much food that we are forced to throw much of it away. Yet we remain obsessed with the idea that everybody has to be productive, and this obsession threatens us and our planet. Many of the strategies devised to cope with the effect of automation tend to focus on finding new work for people to do. But this could, instead, be an opportunity for us as a species to recognise that we are not hard-wired to work by genetics, and that we need to rethink our approach to work.

Why we need ISA-95 to support a smart manufacturing environment

/in
Smart Manufacturing - The integration of various systems at the heart of a modern factory. To be truly ’smart’ in manufacturing terms, an organisation needs to have in place approaches that enable collaboration across numerous key areas, from conditions and demands on the shop-floor through to external factors impacting on to the supply chain or to cover new customer requirements. The added pressure, of course, is that all these factors must be monitored and reacted to in real-time. As processes may have developed over an extended period, this may mean for example that you have one element of the process using key data in a certain way, but that there is no efficient approach to passing that information into other related systems to control the overall flow around complete production. To smooth out how smart manufacturing can be adapted, the use of a more standardised approach is extremely important. This is where the ISA-95 standard definition of smart manufacturing comes to the fore. ISA-95 is a long-established standard to allow production system designers and engineers to apply common standards to the interfaces between different systems that form the complete factory environment. In recent years there has been a massive increase in the computerisation of control points across multiple systems, as well as the growing use of robots and the development of what is termed the ‘Internet of Things (IoT)’. The IoT sees intelligence added to all sorts of hardware in every aspect of our lives, from factories right down to the products they make. This changing world has led some people to believe that the ISA-95 standard is no longer fit for the role it was developed to cover. However, the true value of this standard as developed over the past twenty years is in fact that it isn't based on any one piece of technology or a particular implementation of one company’s approach to solving common issues. Rather, it is a genuinely open form of guidance that allows the implementer to model what they need across diverse areas, from production control, inventory management, QA, accounting and maintenance. As the ISA-95 standard is a developing and reactive approach, it remains fundamentally the best guide for creating efficient and responsive manufacturing and production solutions. As technologies and approaches such as Big Data are implemented, manufacturing will adapt them for their own value and improvements. However, new developments need to be recognised as complementary to and building upon the foundations that are so well defined and understood within ISA-95. However you choose to develop your factory’s smart manufacturing solutions, the key has got to be clarity and consistency as emphasised in ISA-95. This will ensure the best initial approach to provide production techniques that will allow your organisation to develop best practice smart manufacturing processes. These systems are vital for success if any company is to respond to the fast-paced demands of the modern world.

How to introduce factory automation, seamlessly

/in
The end goal is lean, agile production process and system. There will be few manufacturers who are not exploring the ways in which technology can better connect, manage, measure and inform factory production, including integration of R&D, sales, buying and HR teams. If you are at the start of this (potentially never ending) journey to automate factory production and management, what sort of steps do you need to go through? Look before you leap There are some beguiling and well “packaged” options around to introduce automation to factory floors. No matter how urgently you need to grab a competitive edge, it's highly recommended that you thoroughly research what you actually need, not just what you want. What are the possibilities for your particular industrial operations and what tasks do you feel would be best served by automation? What kit and machinery can you buy now that will be adaptable and expandable to support future business growth? Test and plan Find ways to test your manufacturing automation projects before you make commitments. This could be witnessing the machinery first hand in someone else’s factory, or using modern technology such as Business Information Modelling. How will its footprint impact on the physical environment? Are the likely returns strong enough to justify the investment, and how will system implementation be best achieved? Taking time to agitate the solutions and their likely impact gives you time to secure staff engagement too, which can be crucial if automation is viewed with trepidation. No room for complacency Just because the machinery you invest in does things quicker, better and with improved data control and output, doesn't mean it will be perfect. Often the more sophisticated the machinery and technology are, the more complex it is to tackle problems. It's important to remember your automation systems and equipment will sometimes let you down. If they represent a substantial upfront investment, subsequent downtime can be disastrous. Once it is all in place, it needs to keep running smoothly to create the hoped for rate of return. When installing new automation systems, make sure you have a good stock of the spare parts most likely to be required. You should also set up a good working relationship with Pro Servo, so you can use their insights, speedy service and contacts to “plug gaps” as quickly as possible, at an affordable price.

Why do you need spare parts lined up for your machinery?

/in
If you run any kind of factory or business where machinery is used as part of the working process, then having spare parts lined up is vital. Don't make the mistake of waiting until you have a machine that breaks down before you think about this important subject. Having machinery down results in a real monetary cost to your business as your whole operation will either not run at all or at a reduced capacity. The advantages of having spares lined up To avoid this happening, it is wise to implement a spare part management system that ensures you always have replacement parts in for your machinery should it ever be needed. This will avoid the above scenario occurring and will mean that your business will not experience any downtime that could impact it negatively. The other added bonus of having spare parts lined up ready is that there will be no waiting around for them to be delivered. Although companies ship parts as soon as possible, there will naturally be a slight delay in receipt and fitting to the broken machine. If you have a stock of spare parts ready, then this lead-in time is eliminated and means you can get your faulty machine back in good working order fast. A false economy Some companies avoid implementing a robust spare part policy procedure, feeling that they are saving money by not having spare parts lying on the shelf and unused. This is actually a false economy as the cost of machinery being down to a business is far greater and you only end up having to get the spare parts delivered anyway. By planning ahead, you are actually saving your business money in the long run. At Pro Servo we stock spare parts for all the major manufacturers as well as offering repair services. This gives us a real insight into how important this area is for businesses and why it is so key to address. Don't be caught out the next time your main machine goes down - get the vital spare parts you will need before then and make sure your operation keeps on working.

How to effectively prioritise your replacement parts

/in
The very nature of complex machinery means that, over time, parts will wear out and eventually need replacing. However, there is never a clear rule as to what will break and when. Instead, it is your job to ascertain which parts to keep in stock and how much, based on your industry experience. Well, to help you manage your stock more effectively and handle the problem of overstocking and understocking of necessary parts, you will need a system. Prioritising your parts The system of prioritising your parts is very straightforward and is designed to help you maximise productivity at all times and minimise capital outlay on spares.
  1. Assess your stock
The first step is to sit down and properly assess how much you are carrying in stock, as well as exactly what machinery you have. As a part of this process, write down every single spare part that could possibly need replacing.
  1. Assign priority
Next, place each spare part under one of the 3 following: - Vital. The parts that are absolutely necessary to keep your plant running. Often, such pieces take a long time to make and are very specialist, but failure to have them on hand will shut down production. - Necessary. These parts are important for day-to-day business operations, but failing to have them will not put you out of business. They may need replacing fairly often, but getting hold of them usually takes a few days to a week. - Ordinary. Losing such a piece will only have a very temporary effect on production as they can usually be bypassed for short periods of time. Such parts can quickly be bought from a local store.
  1. Update your inventory
Carrying out this exercise should make it clear what sort of “ordinary” parts you are overstocking and should now be downsized. It should also highlight the stock of “vital” parts you own, and what you should stock up on now, for delivery in a few weeks time. Finally, create a clear strategy for ascertaining each of the “necessary” parts. You may want to keep one or two of each in stock or, if it will only take a few days to get a part and not halt production, possibly hold none but know how to get them if the situation arises. These discussions should take place with your inventory managers and supply crews, to make sure you all have a much more focused strategy going forward. It should be clear that having enough parts on hand to replace an entire machine is not the goal here. Instead, you need to sit down and properly assign an order of priority to all spare parts. Effectively managing your stock this way means you will be prepared for if something does go wrong, but that the liability of stock on your balance sheet will be as low as possible. If you are in the process of stocking up on necessary parts, you will then need to speak to a specialist provider of spare parts for factory automation machinery. Here at Pro Servo, we have spare parts which can replace machinery models up to 30 years old. To find out more, contact our team today.

Air-Core Reactors – Dry Type

[three_fourth]

Air-Core Reactors (ACR) provide a linear response of impedance versus current which is essential for numerous applications. The dry type design is maintenance free and environmentally friendly.

There's a range of air core reactors to cater for various market segments such as power generation, T&D networks, industrial facilities, OEMs and electrical test laboratories. Air-Core-Reactors-–-Dry-Type

For both industrial environments and networks, a broad range of cost-effective solutions:

[custom_list style="list-1"]

  • Current-limiting reactors

    limit the fault currents to levels compatible with existing protection/control equipment and as a result provide for a very cost-effective solution.

  • Neutral-earthing reactors

    are connected between the neutral of a power system and earth to limit the line-to-earth current to a desired value under system earth fault conditions.

  • Smoothing reactors

    reduce the harmonic currents and transient overcurrents (ripple) in DC systems.

  • Harmonic filter reactors

    are usually connected with capacitors and resistors in filter circuits to reduce harmonic content in the network which cause higher losses, high neutral currents and interference with computer and telecommunications equipment and which are responsible for high harmonic distortion levels.

  • Shunt reactors

    compensate for the capacitive currents of long transmission lines or cables, allowing more active energy to pass through the system.

  • Damping reactors

    limit the inrush and outrush currents of capacitor banks.

  • Discharge reactors

    are used in the bypass/ discharge circuit in series compensation systems to limit the capacitor discharge current.

  • Arc-furnace series reactors

    provide the necessary power factor correction and limit the unstable arc-furnace current and voltage.

  • Power flow control reactors

    control the current into two or more parallel circuits.

  • Motor starting reactors

    are connected in series with a motor to limit the inrush current during the motor starting operation.

  • Special applications:

    test lab reactors are special ACRs used in test laboratories, mainly for current-limiting purposes. Other devices include duplex current-limiting reactors, split-phase shunt or zero tolerance reactors, etc.

A useful guide to understanding the differences between robotics and automation

/in
The terms “automation” and “robotics” are thrown around a lot these days by firms who want to better automate their production processes. However, there is a significant set of differences between the two and it is not right to continually use the two phrases interchangeably. Here is a quick rundown of the differences between automation and robotics. First off, let's define the terms - Robotics. Robotics is actually a discipline of engineering. It refers to the process of designing, building and programming robotic machines to perform given tasks. - Automation. Automation is not limited to physical products, but instead defines the process of automating a physical or virtual task that was otherwise performed by a human worker. A deeper look at each one:
  • Automation
Whenever automation is discussed, it is normally referring to software automation. So, taking away the need for a human to manually process some sort of digital task. This comes down to: - Business Process Automation - Streamlining daily business processes. - Robotic Process Automation - Not referring to physical robots, but instead, robotic software that can process tasks. - Intelligent Process Automation - An extension of the above, whereby robotic software becomes more intelligent over time at performing given tasks. As well as software automation, there is, of course, industrial automation. This is where machines are set up to perform given physical automated tasks.
  • Robotics
Robotics is much more specific than automation which encompasses a number of different processes. Instead, robotics is specifically referring to the use of robotic machinery to carry out tasks and to interact with the environment around them. They do so through a number of sensors which allows them to register their surroundings and make adjustments and decisions autonomously. The crossover between automation and robotics This is the point where there is a natural crossover between robotics and automation. Robots are often used to automate physical tasks, such as on a car manufacturing line. However, there are a number of circumstances where robotics is not automation. For example, if a robot were following a course from A to B via its sensory controls, then this is not replacing a human task and is not automation. However, if the robot was then using those independent abilities to transport goods for a given purpose, then they are being automated to replace a human carrying those goods. If you are a business owner looking to automate some tasks, then you will come across a mix of robotics and automation solutions. If the processes you need automated are digital in nature, then automation software solutions are what you require. However, if you own a manufacturing premises, then an advanced automated robotics solution will be helpful in carrying out those tasks and removing the need for human labour.
