Productivity and IE in Motor and Generator Manufacturing



Industry 4.0 Electric Motors

Oil and gas facilities and chemical processing plants usually involve hundreds of pumping systems, motors, and drives operating at a constant speed, which demands control and monitoring of the pumping operations. Smart motor sensor are installed on the surface of the equipment to convert them into smart devices connected through a digital interface. This interface can be easily accessed through a web platform or mobile application on your smartphone. Smart Factory Solution provides you with meaningful and actionable real-time information regarding the condition and performance of the equipment, leading to enhanced maintenance planning.

A Chinese owner of an Electric Motor Company wants to adopt Lean Productivity into his company but lacks the technical and operational skill sets. Asia Manufacturing Services defined and implemented a Lean assembly work-cell improving productivity 400%, eliminated 1 day of WIP, and removed (2) workers from the assembly line.

This report is divided into three chapters. Chapter 1 is directed primarily to the reader interested in the less detailed aspects of productivity in the industry. Chapter 2 presents detailed case studies of each plant and will be of value to the plant superintendent or the production engineer. Chapter 3 is a brief discussion of workers' earnings, and the benefits to the worker due to increased productivity and unionization, where applicable. The appendixes contain case studies of labor adjustments to technological changes, industry background information, and a copy of the questionnaire used. A glossary of trade and technical terms completes the report.

A novel approach for developing a flexible automation system for rewinding an induction motor stator using robotic arm
A. Matenga, E. Murena*, G. Kanyemba, S. Mhlanga




Abstract
Electric motor rewinding  is lagging in adopting new and current market trends. This has raised the need to automate the system. In this light, this paper aims to develop a concept for developing a flexible automation system for rewinding an induction motor stator using a robot arm. To achieve this, a bottom-up approach and model predictive control (MPC) has been utilized in the design due to manufacturers' specification disparities. The results reveal that the system can be trained successfully, to perform the remanufacturing process 6 times faster than the manual process.  Successful application of this approach will demonstrate the importance of using flexible automated systems for induction motor stator rewinding and reduce time and winding steps.
