Whether you need storage equipment, bulk material equipment or automation solutions, here are six crucial points to consider before purchasing.

A number of factors come into play when choosing material handling equipment for your warehouse. Whether you need storage equipment, bulk material equipment or automation solutions, here are six crucial points to consider before purchasing.

1. While it seems obvious

While it seems obvious, the place to start is the types of materials being handled. This could include pallets, spools of materials, coils, tires, etc.

2. Another factor

Another factor is the order picking method, which could include piece pick, case pick or pallet pick. If your personnel stores and picks full pallets in racks, then a reach truck would be the right equipment choice. However, if workers have to case pick cartons from pallets, then choose the order picker.

3. Determine which functions need to be performed

Determine which functions need to be performed, as well as environmental factors such as rack aisle width, rack type and ceiling height. There are a number of options to choose from but as a general rule of thumb, the narrower the aisle the equipment can operate in, the higher the cost.

4. You can’t expect every conveying

You can’t expect every conveying, palletizing or filling application to be heavy-duty. Any application involving drums, weighing scales, pails or totes being filled and moved at high-volume intervals will require rugged, heavy-duty equipment. This will hold true especially if the equipment is not maintained regularly.

5. Assess the level of customization you need.

Assess the level of customization you need. You can choose to have a complete range of services that cover analysis through start-up and post-sale support.

6. Keep track of all the maintenance costs.

Keep track of all the maintenance costs. Software programs and tools can track this information and help boost warehouse productivity. Choose equipment whose spares can be found easily in replacing or repairing the equipment, thus minimizing downtime.

The Commerce Departments said Thursday that factory orders increased 3 percent in June, a solid rebound after declining in May and April. But the gains largely came from a massive 131 percent jump in orders for civilian aircraft, a category that can be volatile on a monthly basis.

U.S. manufacturing has been recovering from a slowdown in late 2015 caused by lower energy prices and a strong dollar that made American products more expensive overseas. Factories have responded with a relatively slight upturn in hiring. Manufacturers added a modest average of 8,833 jobs during the first six months of this year.

Excluding the transportation sector that includes aircraft, factory orders slipped 0.2 percent in June.Demand fell for computers and electronic products, while primary metals, machinery and motor vehicles eked out gains.

Excluding the transportation sector that includes aircraft, factory orders slipped 0.2 percent in June.

Demand fell for computers and electronic products, while primary metals, machinery and motor vehicles eked out gains.

Other manufacturing indicators point to continued but cautious growth.

The Institute for Supply Management said Tuesday that its index of factory activity fell 1.5 points to 56.3 in July. Still, any reading above 50 signals that manufacturers are expanding.

Separately, the Federal Reserve said that factory production advanced 0.2 percent in June and 1.2 percent over the past 12 months.

ONE of the most insightful responses to a Gulliver article was below the line of a post about air turbulence, and how flyers often overestimate its effects. The mysterious “guest-nialmnj” wrote:
No amount of fancy aeronautical engineering calculations can change the fact that the notion of any vehicle of such vast weight and size actually flying is patently absurd; planes are clearly kept aloft by sorcery and the collective (if misguided) belief of their passengers. This so-called turbulence arises when the faith of some of those passengers falters for a moment.

Gulliver lives just a few miles east of Heathrow on the flight path. He often sits in his garden and watches A380 jumbos fly overhead, less than a minute into their enchanted journeys to the Middle East or Asia. He knows guest-nialmnj to be a sage. Watching beasts as mighty as Airbus’s double-deck leviathan take to the air is enough to make one wonder at the laws of physics.

Alas, such a magnificent sight may well become less common in the future. Not because the collective belief of the passengers has failed, but because that of airlines has.

On 14th September, Singapore Airlines (SIA) announced that it would not be renewing the lease on five of its A380s when the ten-year contract expires next year. It said that it has not made a decision on its remaining four leased Airbus jumbos, though there is a good chance that they, too, will be consigned to SIA’s history.

Design complexity simplifiedwith CNC machining technology
How complex gears are engraved with extreme precision! Complex wooden designs, which are too intricate to understand! How man to achieve that was, was it mere manual work or advanced knowledge; was it a supernatural occurrence? An ordinary individual may ask these usual questions on coming across complex engineering designs. What is your thought?

In the late 1970s, man invented a machine technology, which would allow complex designs to be made by machines automatically, with minimal manpower, and proper timing. This technology has indeed advanced significantly in the 21st century, thus making it possible to design and develop complex components, which would have proved a nightmare without current technology. Let us look with the intent on the actual Robotic machine technology.

CNC machining is the use of a computer with a unique Computer software program composed of a numerical machine language, designed to control the movement of the machine components with extreme precision while performing a task. Especially applied on lathes, routers, mills and grinders.

How
it works

.fl-node- h3.vamtam-heading * {
color: #2ba9e0 !important;
}

A CAD drawing of either two dimensions or three dimensions is created and a programming code that the CNC machining will understand is uploaded, then it’s tested on the machine to ensure that there are no errors. This test is of extreme importance since it checks on speed and position because having a fault in operation could result in machine damage or even injuries to the operator.

The CNC machining automated control ensures extreme precision, with high-level accuracy, especially on repetitive tasks. Indeed the CNC numeric program is unambiguous, meaning that errors in design are outdated, and the ideology of safety and time management is well accommodated in this mechanism. Work is done with minimal manpower as all is automated through the CNC software program. Accuracy and the high degree of precision in cutting internal threads. Observe the picture.

}

CNC machining skills can be acquired through training in the CNC numeric programming allowing you to gain acquaintance to machine operation protocol. There are various technical institutes to link up with, such as the Lincoln’s CNC machining and manufacturing technology program. The Lincoln College of Technology in Indianapolis in collaboration with Lincoln Technical institute Mahwah, NJ, and Lincoln College of Technology in Grand Prairie TX.

Here you will be able to learn and gain the most needed skills and experience in modern manufacturing machines with most advanced technology, therefore, graduating with all the necessary qualifications needed as the machine operator or a setup technician.

This is an aside post.

This week the class will focus on the work of Ansel Adams. If you haven’t already, you’ll need to purchase Ansel Adams: An Autobiography (available at the school bookstore) and read chapters 1 through 4. In particular, I want you to focus on this section from chapter 2:

Adams also came to understand how important it was that his carefully crafted photos were reproduced to best effect. At Bender’s invitation, he joined the prestigious Roxburghe Club, an association devoted to fine printing and high standards in book arts. He learned much about printing techniques, inks, design, and layout which he later applied to other projects. [1]Some of Adams’ success can be attributed to how successfully he replicated his work through printing. This week we’ll be learning about his print techniques and making some prints of our own.

Typi non habent claritatem insitam; est usus legentis in iis qui facit eorum claritatem. Investigationes demonstraverunt lectores legere me lius quod ii legunt saepius. Claritas est etiam processus dynamicus, qui sequitur mutationem consuetudium lectorum. Mirum est notare quam littera gothica, quam nunc putamus parum claram, anteposuerit litterarum formas humanitatis per seacula quarta decima et quinta decima.
