The impact of automation on the metallurgical mechanical industry

The impact of automation on the metallurgical mechanical industry

Automation technology has changed the way of production and processing in the metallurgical mechanical industry. Along with the development of technology, the application of automation in production is increasingly prioritized to increase productivity and production efficiency. In this context, METALEX Vietnam 2024 organized by RX Tradex is the place to update the latest trends in mechanical automation technology in the metal manufacturing industry. Find out useful information about automation and its impact on the metallurgical mechanical industry and what to expect at METALEX Vietnam 2023.

1. What is mechanical automation?

Mechanical automation is the application of digital, electronic and computer methods to control mechanical production processes automatically. It includes the use of automation equipment such as robots, CNC machines, automatic gauges and sensor systems to perform manufacturing and machining tasks more quickly, accurately and efficiently.  Automation minimizes dependence on people, increases productivity and product quality, and also minimizes manpower requirements and production costs.

Mechanical automation is the process of using automated technologies and equipment to perform activities in the mechanical automation industry, including cutting processes, mechanical processing, and metallurgy. This technology makes industrial processes more automated and intelligent, increasing productivity, accuracy and reliability, while minimizing human errors in the production process.

2. Benefits of automation in the mechanical industry

Automation in the mechanical industry is considered one of the significant advances of modern cutting and mechanical processing technology. It provides the mechanical automation industry with many benefits, including:

2.1. Advantages

Automation in the mechanical industry offers many advantages, including:

  • Increased productivity: With the help of automated systems, production speed will be significantly enhanced, helping to increase productivity and reduce production time.
  • Uniform product quality: Using automation machines helps ensure the uniform nature of the product, helping to minimize errors in the production process.
  • Product flexibility and diversity: Automation systems can be set up to produce many different types of products with just one part or one machine, increasing production flexibility and diversity,
  • Reduce labor costs: Automation minimizes the use of labor in the production process, reduces labor costs and increases the continuous operation of the system.
  • Energy and resource savings: Automation systems are designed to optimize energy and resource use, helping to minimize the impact of production on the environment.

Overall, automation in the mechanical engineering industry brings many benefits in terms of increasing productivity, product quality and reducing production costs, helping mechanical enterprises automate production processes and improve business efficiency.

2.2. Disadvantages

  • High initial investment costs: To automate a production line, investing in digital control equipment and software can be very expensive.
  • Requires highly specialized skills: Automation requires employees to have a variety of specialized skills, including skills in digital control engineering and electronic engineering.
  • Need regular maintenance: Automation equipment needs regular maintenance to ensure good operation and high accuracy.

However, the advantages of mechanical automation outweigh the disadvantages, which enhances the productivity and accuracy of automatic mechanical production.

3. Automation trends in metal production today

In the metal manufacturing industry, automation is becoming an unstoppable trend. The application of automation technology in metal production makes it possible to increase productivity, product quality and reduce production costs.

Automation technologies such as welding robots, CNC machining, cargo delivery robots, and automated data management systems are being commonly applied in the metal manufacturing industry. In addition, IoT and artificial intelligence solutions are also being developed and applied in metal manufacturing to optimize production processes and minimize errors.

The use of automation technologies in metal production also requires engineers and technicians with knowledge of automation to be able to effectively apply these technologies. Therefore, the training and development of human resources in the field of automation is an urgent issue in the metal industry.

METALEX Vietnam 2024 will also be a place to showcase and showcase the latest automation technologies in the metal manufacturing industry, while creating opportunities for businesses in the industry to access and invest in automation solutions to improve productivity and product quality.
