In today’s global economy, manufacturing and engineering industries
face ever growing pressures within a highly competitive market. In order
to survive and prosper there is a need to continually search for ways to
reduce costs. The time from development to production must be minimized
to keep a competitive edge. At the same time the highest standards of
quality must be maintained and even improved.
Information technology has a key role to play in enabling companies
within the manufacturing and engineering sectors to secure a strong
future. Sophisticated software can enhance design, development, production,
quality control and maintenance. For example:
- Integration and customization of design and modelling tools can create an
efficient integrated product development environment
- The development of a formulation management system
will help to standardize activities across an organization, facilitate sharing
of information and best practice, and provide sophisticated data mining of
existing formulations
- High throughput technologies can be utilized to optimize
candidate product selection
- Advanced control and automation technologies can
increase production efficiency
- Automated test and quality control systems can
help to identify production problems early and ensure that quality standards are
upheld
- Automated condition monitoring of key components can be
used to track performance trends, allowing prediction of component failures
before they occur and optimization of maintenance regimes. This helps ensure
that systems continue working, avoiding costly in-service breakdowns and
associated down time
