Production cost is fairly easy to determine, or is it? Determine the number of operations, the cost of labor and the cost of material. But not every unit is perfect. Some units require rework. Some units are scrapped. What is the cost of production fallout? How does that cost affect the bottom line? Let’s look at a simplified scenario to find out.   Scenario: A discrete manufacturing company has a production line with a takt time of 60 seconds to meet delivery requirements (i.e., one product is required off the line every 60 seconds). The actual throughput for the line varies from a product every 55 to 70 seconds, and the line is currently averaging 68 seconds (the latter two values are well above the required takt time). The production line has a first pass yield (FPY) of 75% (i.e., 25% of products require extra work to be usable). It also has a scrap rate of 10% (10% of production cannot be used and is written off), meaning that 90 out of 100 units processed by manufacturing will actually be sold (the 10% scrap is part of the 25% that requires extra work).   Let’s assume there are five production operations in manufacturing the product, a total direct labor cost of $50, and a total material cost of $25 (both per unit of production). To make it easy to follow, we will assume each operation consumes approximately 20% of the total cost of labor and material ($75), making the cost of each operation $15.  With the original FPY being 75%, the 25% requiring rework/repair (the fallout) have additional costs not counted in the original $75 per unit price. Assuming a nominal labor cost of $20/hr for production labor (this rate will vary significantly depending on the industry) and a nominal duration of an additional 3 hours of labor per unit (isolating the defective unit, moving it to and from repair, analyzing and repairing/reworking the unit, and retesting to accept the unit back into production), each unit in the fallout costs an additional $60 ($20 x 3 hrs), not including the extra material used to repair/rework the unit. Out of 100 production units processed, 25 units will have an additional $60 per unit for a total cost of $1500 ($60 x 25 units) that now must be shared by the full 100 units for the production run ($15 per unit). This brings the total cost per unit for the production run from $75 to $90.   We also need to factor in the cost of the units that will be scrapped (10% of total units). Out of 100 units that started production, 10 (part of the original fallout of 25%) will be scrapped. However, approximately the same labor costs will apply to these scrapped units as they will still be handled, analyzed and tested, meaning the units are being scrapped at the $90 per unit rate for a scrap cost of $900 for the 10 scrapped units. This cost is now added to the cost of making the 90 units that are sold—an additional $10 per unit sold ($900 / 90) for a total cost of $100 per unit so...

Safety in industry is crucial to protect employees, facilities and the environment. It minimizes accidents, downtime and financial losses and strengthens a company's reputation. At HANNOVER MESSE, exhibitors at the "Industrial Security Circus" demonstrate how industrial companies can ensure a safe working environment. There are many German companies, particularly in the machine and plant construction sector, that have highly specialized industry knowledge and decades of research experience. This knowledge must be protected in the interest of industrial security, especially in light of the NIS-2/CER Directive, which is expected to be implemented into national law in the fall of 2024. To inform exhibitors and visitors at HANNOVER MESSE about the current state of industrial security, Fraunhofer FOKUS developed the “Industrial Security Circus” together with Deutsche Messe AG. The special display in Hall 16 focuses on various aspects of industrial security, from OT and IT security to supply chain security and physical security. Numerous private and public solution providers exhibit at Industrial Security Circus, including 21unity, Airbus Protect, Blackberry CyberSecurity, the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), the Fraunhofer Institute IOSB, the International Society of Automation, Stormshield and Secunet. In addition to the exhibition area, a forum features presentations and expert panels as well as best cases and live hacking. Pre-registration is not required.

Over the past year, the supply chain logistics industry has continued to experience remarkable growth in automation adoption, even with the recent economic challenges. This advancement of automation can be credited to the accessibility of current unit economics for new technologies and the value automation delivers for many companies. Additionally, it is important to note that with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and other innovative software solutions, analytics are becoming more insightful–and abundant–than ever before.  With the increasing need for data management, mounting demand for labor, and the growth of automation adoption across industries, we can expect digitalization to continue to expand into 2024.  A shift toward digital According to the Association for Advancing Automation, robotic hardware sales gradually decreased in 2023, indicating a shift towards digital and software solutions to support the continued push for widespread digitalization. With this digital shift comes an influx of data full of valuable information that can be leveraged to improve operations. However, it also requires proper data management and transparency across different systems to properly utilize the flood of information. Data transparency will be key to supporting the digital transformation of a company–but what exactly is data transparency? It is the use of trustworthy, real data that can be easily traced back to the source, allowing companies to know what data is being collected and how it can be leveraged. This is where cloud-based technologies and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions come into play, providing the support needed to expand and manage the digital footprint of a company. While IoT systems and sensors can collect data, an AI-enabled model or software-based technology can analyze the data and share insights with system operators for further action. As a result, industries will see more data transparency efforts within non-tracked operations that will allow companies to tap into creative solutions to automate their warehouses. Along with data transparency, the proliferation of cloud-based, IoT, and sensor technologies that can be implemented and adopted much faster in the marketplace, will continue to grow.   Fueled by the decreased production cost and increased capability of these solutions, the market will continue to see demand rise and adoption rates increase over the next few years.  IT requires a personal touch Contrary to popular belief, an increase in automation doesn’t necessarily lead to a decrease in jobs. Deploying software solutions requires the support of IT professionals to integrate, manage, and maintain new technologies. As a result, the demand for a specialized labor force will rise along with the rate of digitalization.  Implementing new software within an established system isn’t easy and adds to the already long list of responsibilities for IT professionals.

Calibrate Meggitt 6240M and Bently Nevada 86517 Instrumentation In this video we demonstrate how to test the linearity of the GE LM2500 gas turbine vibration monitoring and protection system at critical low and high pressure rotor speeds. We also separate the Meggitt 6240M series accelerometer from the Bently Nevada 86517 Acceleration Interface Module and perform a frequency response sweep calibration. The Meggitt 6240M series, Vibro-Meter CA303 and CA306 series transducers are differential charge accelerometers that interface directly to The Modal Shop’s C9110D or  9110F Portable Vibration Calibrators. The Bently Nevada 86517 Acceleration Interface Module typically serves to integrate the signal from the differential charge accelerometers and convert to a readable voltage output within the turbine monitoring system. Although this device can also be used in non-integrated acceleration output mode as well. Either way, the output of the 86517 is easily tested with The Modal Shop's Portable Vibration Calibrators, allowing technicians to loop check the system and create a full calibration report. After market replacements for the Meggitt 6240M series and Vibro-Meter CA303 / CA306 are offered by PCB Piezotronics. The Modal Shop produced a webinar on our YouTube channel to further educate technicians on the pros and cons of PCB’s offering compared to alternatives.
