Automating industrial enameling processes

Why automating enameling operations

Industrial enameling plants are traditionally labor intensive and face various human resources related issues such as :

• reduced labor availability
• increasing labor cost
• employee retention
• lacking skills & knowledge
• negative influence on quality

Therefore, many manufacturers wish to automate their enameling operations to obtain a better & more consistent coating quality at lower enameling cost.

Examples of enameling process automation

Typical examples of enameling process automation include :

• eliminating manual handling, like loading, transferring and/or unloading of parts
• replacing manual operations, like manual spraying
• implementation of advanced inline process monitoring & quality control

Level up the skill of your staff

Enameling equipment tends to become more complex when running autonomously, hence requiring that the remaining operators/supervisors poses better skills / broader knowledge.

Depending upon their functional requirements & experience, continuous training may be rendered via :

• books
• e-learning courses
• classes
• individual coaching

Implementation

For maximum return of investment, enameling operations should be audited & where possible streamlined before starting any automation project.

It is obvious that it is easier to automate enameling processes at a green field project than converting an existing enameling plant.

Variation in product shape and coating requirements have significantly influence on enameling process selection, equipment design and the enameling plant layout.

Continuous improvement

Automated processes & ditto equipment require a lot of input and generate even more data.

All this data may be analyzed with the help of artificial intelligence for further process optimization.
