CEO CORNER How Manufacturing is Getting ‘Smarter’ Disruptive technologies are transforming every sector, and manufacturing is no different. In order to meet customer needs and have a strong market hold, the manufacturing industries need to be more careful about the quality and precision which can only be achieved with automated tools and smart setup. The Indian manufacturing industry has also started evaluating advanced technologies such as big data, improved data analytics, machineto-machine communication, advanced robotics and 3-D printing to become globally competitive. Technology is also being used by Indian manufacturers to address their current challenges. For example, automation is being widely used to address the shortage of skilled manpower and reduce the cost of operation. IIoT is one technology trend that has taken the manufacturing world by storm. Manufacturing equipment connected to a web-based network makes it possible to gather data and turn into actionable information to make better decisions about manufacturing processes, such as optimizing machine uptime, scheduling maintenance, etc. Another popular trend, which is still in early stage of development, is 3-D Printing. Some of the factors responsible for the huge shift from traditional manufacturing techniques to 3-D printing is the reduction in capital costs, raw material costs, and costs incurred during the reuse of scrap materials. As per estimates, 3D printing technology reduces material usage by nearly 30% to 70% as compared to traditional techniques. With a lot of R&D efforts dedicated towards 3-D printing, it is definitely a technology to watch out for in the future. Our special feature in this issue highlights these key trends.

BOGE launches new refrigeration dryers and tandem dryers BOGE KOMPRESSOREN has set new standards in removing water vapour from compressed air reliably with the launch of the new DS-2 and FRDA dryers. The DS-2 refrigeration dryer works with energy savings of up to 30 per cent with higher flow capacity compared to prevailing market systems. For highly sensitive applications with pressure dew points between –70 °C and +3 °C BOGE now offers a tandem dryer for the first time: FRDA (fridge desiccant adsorption dryer) combines the advantages of refrigeration and adsorption dryers. The pressure dew points can be selected
flexibly. FRDA can also be positioned in a small space due to the compact design of the machine. Compressed air dryers are essential for avoiding interruptions to operations or even production downtime due to water in the compressed air system and in the final application. For the majority of applications, the drying capac-
ity of a refrigeration dryer with a residual moisture content of up to 6 g/m3 is entirely adequate. The new DS-2 refrigeration dryer from BOGE also fulfills this requirement. The decisive competitive difference is in the efficient use of resources that is required of such systems. With the new fully integrated aluminum heat exchanger, power losses in the refrigeration cycle and the use of coolants are very low. Combined with a reduction of power consumption of up to 30 per cent, the overall operating costs of the BOGE DS-2 are extremely low. For optimum operation,
the whole series has digital control including an isolated alarm contact. This gives an immediate alert if operating conditions such as the pressure dew points move into the critical range. With the FRDA tandem dryer, BOGE includes a combined refrigeration and adsorption dryer in its product portfolio for the first time. The new technology completes the existing range of adsorption dryers. FRDA is the optimum solution when consistent but variable pressure dew points between –70 °C and +3 °C are required.

Kjellberg launches Smart Focus series As one of the longest established manufacturers of plasma cutting technique in the market Kjellberg has always endeavoured to further develop and perfect proven technologies. The latest result is the plasma series Smart Focus for the mechanised plasma cutting from 1 to 100 mm with a maximum cutting current of 400 A. The power sources are developed and manufactured in Germany. We have noticed that the demands on plasma cutting techniques are continuously increasing especially in discussions with our international customers “, says managing director Carsten Trentau. Kjellberg responds to this with the plasma cutting systems Smart Focus 130, 200, 300 and 400. Only a few settings suffice to achieve excellent cut results with these
systems even under the most demanding conditions and, thus, they meet the high standards of the customers. The patented Contour Cut and Contour Cut Speed technologies will continue to be used to cut contours, webs and holes exactly and quickly. For cutting stainless steel, Kjellberg continues to rely on the unique Ar/H2 technology where single gases can be mixed for each specific job. For optimum control of the gases, the plasma power sources of the Smart Focus series are equipped with newly developed gas consoles, either manual (PGE 300) or automatic (PGV 300). The
improved gas control makes it possible to achieve high-precision cut results at any time. The cutting speeds are considerably higher compared to competitive products and reduce the costs per cutting metre. The new torches PerCut 2000 and 4000 also contribute to the profitability of the cutting process. Due to their optimised look
and functionality, they guarantee a long lifetime of the consumables and their intelligent liquid cooling system reduces the gas consumption.

Impact of GST on Indian economy The GST regime will cause a tectonic shift in India’s taxation history. I foresee transparency in the business chain which will enable significant value creation for the Indian economy and this works well for us at Danfoss as well. While this might require a shift in mind-sets of companies--from the way they do business, to the fact that all channels will have to be digitalized at every stage--the goal is perfection in execution to achieve transformation. When one looks GST’s impact
JUNE 2017 | www.engrreview.com
sector-wise from the view of Danfoss, the power sector is likely to see a positive impact. This is largely because of the thermal power sector where coal has been categorized under 5% v. a previous 11.7%. Additionally, capital goods have been put under the 18% slab. This will lead to a reduction in power project development costs. However, it is important to keep in mind the adverse effects on the environment due to coal usage. Regarding renewables, given that the tariffs are already low, the
Power Minister has expressed his opinion that there is no need for lower taxes to encourage clean energy. However, the 18% that has been assigned for solar modules is likely to increase project costs by at least 10%. While the ‘Make in India’ initiative was started with the intention of making India as one of the top 10 manufacturing hubs in the world, there have been several hurdles that companies face in terms of cascading taxes. However, with the introduction of GST, we believe
that it will help streamline the sector, creating a cooperative synergy in the country. Some positive ways in which we see the impact being felt includes reduced cost of production, supply of goods with ease where we hope to see decreased state-border checks. The other side of the coin is of course, increased compliance requirements and supply-chain restructuring that might be required from the company’s side. Overall, the introduction of GST will have a positive impact on the Indian economy.

Schmersal celebrates its 10th anniversary in India Schmersal India Private Limited, a subsidiary of the Schmersal Group, celebrates ten years of existence this year. Some 200 guests are expected to join the celebrations on 2nd June 2017 in Ranjangaon, including the German Consul General Dr. Jürgen Morhard. The company was initially founded in 2007 as a sales organisation in order to participate in the growing Indian market for machine safety. In 2012, the cornerstone for a production factory was laid in Ranjangaon near Pune in the state of Maharashtra. The Schmersal Group invested about 8 million euros (approx. 580 million Indian rupees) in the construction of the new factory, which started production in July 2013. “The constant rise in demand for Schmersal products was the main factor behind the decision to invest in our own factory, especially as it became apparent that the Indian market offers massive potential for the years to come,” reports Philip Schmersal, MD Schmersal Group. “To date, Schmersal is the only company producing safety switches directly in India.” The Schmersal factory in Ranjangaon produces safety switches and lift switchgear on almost 4,000 m² of production and storage space. Initially, production was destined primarily for the Indian market. Par-
a promising future ahead of it: “We are expecting further growth in production and employment,” explains Sagar Bhosale. “After all, the increasing awareness of safety in the industry leads to a higher demand for safety solutions and services. Increasing levels of disposable income and the urbanisation will boost the demand for products of the food and packaging industry and the pharmaceuticals industry and thus will further increase the demand for safety technology from Schmersal.” allel to this, Schmersal India Pvt. Ltd was expanding its sales activities in India - both by opening new sales offices in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai and by expanding the network of dealers. “Our customers currently include many international names in industries such as food and beverages, steel, mining, metals, automobile, alternative energy, plastic, cement, power, the lift industry etc. So today, we are delivering our products to the whole of SAARC countries (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation),” explains Sagar Bhosale. In 2016, Schmersal India Pvt. Ltd. achieved a turnover of 4,4 million euros (approx. 320 million Indian rupees). A major milestone was achieved in April 2017: the Ranjangaon factory pro-
duced the millionth safety switch since it became operational. Schmersal India Pvt. Ltd. now employs around 70 employees, including a mechanics apprentice. In the near future, the plan is to increase this number to 80 to 85 employees, as a production system is to be relocated from the German factory in Wettenberg to India. The number of trainees is also set to rise. In 2015, Schmersal India Pvt.

Automation: The need of the hour Technology is also being used by Indian manufacturers to address their current challenges. For example, automation is being widely used to address the shortage of skilled manpower and reduce the cost of operation. “Automation is being used extensively mainly in the production of large quantities, repetitive parts. Major advantage with automation is that the productivity is far greater than manual methods. Also, uniformity is maintained in the produced parts. Since the past few years, demand for automation has gone up significantly due to the lack of skilled manpower. Especially, for smaller companies automation is making a lot of sense as they are always plagued by the challenge of retaining good workmen,” elucidates Shrinivas Shirgurkar, MD, Ace Designers, which is a leading manufacturer of CNC lathe machines in India. Automation is also being increasingly used by manufacturers to increase productivity, standardize the product portfolio and shorten development cycles. “Advanced automation is the way forward for industries to achieve the desired growth and higher productivity. Robot technology has now become one of the most dynamic areas for development. Following this trend, Lapp India is focusing on robotic cables and system solutions like Servo Motors that are needed for robot applications,” says Jarrault. Sharing details about automation plays a
Shrinivas Shirgurkar, MD, Ace Designers The data generated with IoT can be analyzed to monitor what is happening on the machine. It allows for real-time analysis, which increases traceability leading to improved productivity. One can exactly pin-point finger on the faulty component and take corrective measures. Another advantage is that the sensors embedded in machines provide data which can provide predictive capabilities about life of certain components.

vital role in test and measurement segment, Bhangare says, “Automation gives our products a whole new identity and makes them unique in the market. Intuitive and self-governed nature of the products makes them the choice of the end users. Automation definitely helps to bring out the world-class products.”
IIoT making manufacturing smarter Whether you call it IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), Industrial 4.0 or Smart Manufacturing, the concept has taken the manufacturing world by storm. It is often being termed as the next industrial revolution, and rightly so, as it has the potential to fundamentally reconfigure the industry. The key advantage for manufacturers implementing Industrial IoT solutions lies in improved decision making ability. Manufacturing equipment connected to a web-based network generates data, which upon analysis can aid manufacturers in making timely and effective choices. “Software and computer networks make it possible to gather data and turn into actionable information to make better decisions about manufacturing processes, such as optimizing machine uptime, scheduling maintenance, etc. All of this put together means improved productivity, which in turn leads to maximizing profits,” agrees Shirgurkar. IoT solutions provide better visibility into faulty machine tool and help with predictive analytics capabilities for machine maintenance. Shedding more light on the benefits of using IoT features in machining Shirgurkar says, “The data generated with IoT can be analyzed to monitor what is happening on the machine. It allows for real-time analysis, which increases traceability leading to improved productivity. One can exactly pin-point finger on the faulty component and take corrective measures. Another advantage is that the sensors embedded in machines provide data which can provide predictive capabilities about life of certain components. The next level in IoT is autonomous machines, which have the ability to correct themselves.” The 3-D printing revolution According to a study by the market research firm Technavio, some of the factors responsible for the huge shift from traditional manufacturing techniques to 3-D printing is the reduction in capital costs, raw material costs, and costs incurred during the reuse of scrap materials. As per estimates, 3D printing technology reduces

Further, it makes manufacturing more sustainable by reducing waste.
material usage by nearly 30% to 70% as compared to traditional techniques. This results in faster speed to market for new products and a reduction in development costs. “The key advantage of 3-D printing is that it enables single-step manufacturing, while eliminating the need for several processes like welding, painting and grinding. 3-D printing drives product innovation by making previously impossible designs possible. Further, it makes manufacturing more sustainable by reducing waste,” says Pankaj Gauba, Head Digital Manufacturing Group – India & Middle East, Autodesk. While 3D printing is definitely revolutionary, it is currently at an evolving stage. At present, it is not very practical for regular applications as it can prove beneficial only in small batch production. That said, a lot of R&D efforts dedicated towards 3D printing, mainly on the material side, definitely makes it a technology to watch out for. Looking ahead, the industry stands at a tipping point of complete shift as the fully allocated costs associated with 3D printing are expected to fall well below the traditional manufacturing process — even with the upfront investment in the printers themselves. In the coming years, in a bid to accelerate the ‘Make in India’ vision outlined by the government, Indian companies will step up the adoption of advanced technologies. While the adoption of IIoT is expected to be broad-based at various levels, 3D printing is also expected to find favor, particularly in small batch production.

INFOR: The expertise for manufacturing sector well attended by manufacturing companies from Aurangabad. The topic of discussion was around ‘Future of Manufacturing – Embracing the Digital Revolution’.
Mr. Ashish Dass, Vice President & Managing Director, South Asian Subcontinent, Infor.
Q. What are the various software Infor provides for the manufacturing sector? Which software from Infor directly caters to discrete manufacturing? Infor provides cloud-based, industry specific applications for enterprise size manufacturers, fabricators etc. Software such as Infor LN, Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine), Infor Configure Price Quote (CPQ), Infor CRM, Infor EPM, Infor Factory Track, Infor PLM, Infor EAM, a commerce network for trading partners (GT Nexus) and Infor SCM are specifically built for the manufacturing sector. Infor’s ever evolving software helps industries build customer loyalty by enhancing customer experience and gives them a competitive edge. Importantly, we build applications to mirror personal technology so as to engage new-age workforce. Infor Discrete Manufacturing Essentials is specifically tailored to the unique challenges of the Automotive, Aerospace, High-tech and Electronics, Industrial Equipment and Machinery, and Metal Fabrication industries. The software is compatible all major operating systems and database platforms, which enables firms in different segments to supports lean manufacturing processes among repetitive, make-to-stock, make-to-order, engineer-to-order and Assemble-to-order manufacturing modes. Software like CRM for Discrete Manufacturing, Infor Configure Price Quote for Discrete Manufacturing are

specifically for discrete manufacturers which enables them to maximize the impact of customer interaction with modern architecture in the office and out in the field. Q. Who are the clients (India) who have benefitted with Infor solutions? ( customers + solution ) One of our recent clients, Century Metal Recycling (CMR) anticipates enhanced operational efficiency and reduced costs following go-live with Infor LN. The CMR Group is the largest producer of aluminum-based die cast alloys and zinc alloys in India, with an annual production capacity of 218,000MT for aluminum alloys and 8,000 MT for zinc alloys. Infor’s in-depth product knowledge and excellent support from Infor Consulting Services (CoE) helped achieve a successful implementation. We deployed an integrated system that replaces all previously distributed systems, making it possible to reduce costs and eliminate many operational issues. Additionally, the solution provides real-time visibility into data, so management can make better, more timely decisions. Q. Infor recently held an event in Aurangabad with CII. What were the main discussion points? The event in Aurangabad jointly organized with CII (Confederation of Indian Industry), was
Interesting insights around the following points emerged from the discussion • Disruptive changes in Manufacturing such as IoT, Big Data, Smart sensors, Robotics etc. • Current state of technology adoption in the factory floor • Challenges impacting the manufacturing setup and competitive environment • Modern customer demands • Solutions and best practices being applied to address these challenges. Q. How important is digitization for the discrete manufactures now? Concerns of the manufacturing industry include pressures to improve performance owing to increasing competition. Additionally, supply chain partners, contractors, fabricators and suppliers all tend to gravitate to companies that are easy to do business with and who enjoy the conveniences of modern solutions. Technology adoption seems to be the clear strategy to resolve this and Digital Transformation is not just a buzzword but the reality in the industry today. However, the shift is that many technologies that were considered disruptive only a few years ago have already received substantial traction and are largely considered “must have” capabilities. Mobility, for example, has moved from the “nice to have” category to a standard way manufacturers connect with colleagues, collaborate with partners, and gain access to critical data, anytime, anywhere. The IDC report says 74 percent of manufacturers are using mobility solutions today, with that figure expected to reach 98 percent by 2020. Cloud deployment is another technology that is quickly gaining traction among manufacturers. The early resistance to cloud solutions for critical applications is steadily eroding. IDC says 52 percent of surveyed manufacturers are already seeing major impact from cloud technologies. The landscape is fast evolving and it is very important for manufacturers to remain relevant in this highly competitive environment and keep with the change.

Customers tend to explore Indian built grinders due to cost benefit & service availability “ Our innovations are mostly related to customer’s demand for better automation, cycle time and accuracy of the products ground,” says Ashok Sheth reviewing SMT’s recent achievements and ruminating on the challenges it has to face to stay afloat in a competitive environment. – Editor er’s demand for better automation, cycle time and accuracy of products ground. The tolerances are narrowing down and makes it critical to achieve them through improving machining parameters in-house as well as use CNC controls to improve the process parameters. A few years back we had not thought it possible to grind parts with accuracy of a fraction of a micron. Now, it is a necessity to compete against European and Japanese manufacturers. The customers in India as well as other countries are exploring to use Indian built grinders in view of cost benefit and service availability.
Mr. Ashok Sheth, Chairman, Solitaire Machine Tools Ltd. Q. How was the year that went by for your company? The year 2016-17 was good with moderate growth and kept us fairly busy throughout the year. Last quarter was hectic and we were able to meet our targets. Our thrust on Export has paid back with sales in six developed countries amounting to 40 % of our sales. Acceptance of Indian machines is rather easy now compared to several years back. This is due to continued efforts by the entire Indian Machine Tool Industry and IMTMA.
Q. Any upheavals you had to surmount? The year was fairly smooth in operation side of it. Demonetization had hardly any effect as cash transactions are not used in the company for last 10 to 12 years.

JUNE 2017 | www.engrreview.com
Q. Did you ever feel there’s a better way? What would be your strategy and approach to make the most of this year and beyond? There is always a BETTER way. The basic strategy is to look around the world and see new developments in the field. Learn how it is being done and how we can make it to benefit to our customers. In each development, there is a risk of failure and our ability to take it in our stride and think of new approach to the problem makes it a positive atmosphere. Contribution of every person in finding solution makes it a winning team. One of the venture capitalists said that we only fund those who have failed several times and came back with new ideas. In our field also it applies as we cannot succeed with every new idea and it is for the company CEO to accept the failure as his/her own and promote those who came up with new solution to the problem. Stifling innovation by reminding of old failures does not help the Company or the employee.
Q. What’s your strategy to get a fair share of the Government projects?
We hear so much about Aerospace and Defense projects coming up all around the country with mind boggling figures . There have been a large number of such projects working in the country under Government controls. The Machine Tool Procurement procedure is such that most manufacturers would rather stay away from it than get in to quoting and waiting for months and sometimes years together for the order to finalize. Why cannot government organizations and even new Private Players work in a simple way and order what they want at the best rates available from established sources. What is the need for EMD, Bank Guarantees, Performance Guarantees, delays in payments and long delays in order finalization? If we really want to MAKE IN INDIA, we should start to believe that all of us are not unethical. For few who practice unethical methods, the whole country is eyed with suspicion.
Q. What are the challenges you face? We normally compete with International players in the field. The capability and experience of foreign supplier is highly exaggerated to justify their higher price and payment terms. We have come across many such instances where the orders are released at double of our price or even more. On the other hand, we work with some of the European, Japanese and American MNCs here in India as well as outside and they are more appreciative of our efforts and dedication than their own country’s counterparts. Our colonial era stigma for everything imported is better than Made in India is still present after 70 years of our independence.

Q. How do you define High-tech Manufacturing?
Q. What are your capabilities and facilities for high-tech manufacturing?
I’m glad the question came up. Whenever a topic of High-tech manufacturing kicks in, our imagination intuitively glides to a place with sophisticated machines performing multiple operations and producing quintessential components. However, one should not forget the prominence of activities associated with the entire manufacturing process. Advances are happening in all levels of product development whether it be designing, setting up the processes, managing the raw materials or even packaging of the final product. High-tech manufacturing can thus only be achieved by accommodating all these aspects to harvest the final product. Only a synergy of these advances will provide the maximum efficiency and produce an immaculate product and only then the process can be titled as High-tech manufacturing. Achieving this synergy becomes a prime objective in industries such as ours where complex geometry, close tolerances, stringent specifications, and the usage of exotic raw material becomes a common occurrence.
Walchandnagar, today, have three manufacturing facilities which are located in Walchandnagar (135 km from Pune), Satara, and Dharwad (Near Hubli, Karnataka). The Walchandnagar plant carries out production activities for Defense, Aerospace, Nuclear, Missile, Gear, Cement, Sugar and Energy, and Centrifugal businesses. We have our Foundry business running in Satara and Instrumentation division in Dharwad. As Walchandnagar is associated with the manufacturing of different types of products and equipments, our facility has been fortified with machines of not only different sorts but also sizes. CNC multi-axis boring machines, milling machines, Gear cutting and grinding, Plate bending machines, Lathes are some of the machines available in different sizes in our plants. We respect the quality requirements and uniqueness of different businesses and thus have ensured that the machines are allocated to different divisions to provide superlative

that we carry a good load of orders in our kitty and envisage much more shortly.
Q. What do you offer to critical segments like nuclear power, aerospace, defense and missiles?
Nuclear Sector The nuclear sector in India saw a very tepid growth over the last decade. A lot of projects were stagnant due to the CLND Act. But a complete turnaround of this scenario has happened with the finalization of the crucial points in the act and suddenly the market has been inundated with new Nuclear Power Plant projects that will be undertaken by the NPCIL. We have supplied, in the past, critical components for Nuclear Power Plants of capacity 220, 540, and 700 MWe. Some of the components include Calandria, Moderator Heat Exchangers, End Shields, Air Heat Exchangers, Core support, Core Catcher, etc. and we look forward to supplying them in the future too.

WIL is currently supplying PSLV, GSLV, and GSLV MK-II on a continuous basis. The GSLV MK-III launch that took place on 5th June 2017 had S-200 motor casings supplied by WIL. It gives me immense pleasure to state that WIL has played a crucial role in Chandrayaan-I (India’s first Moon Mission) and Mangalyaan (India’s Mars Mission)
It was more than two decades ago that DRDO approached WIL for their flagship projects. The combined expertise of the WIL engineers and the DRDO scientists as well as extensive R&D has helped in the development of critical manufacturing techniques to meet the design and stringent quality parameters for its strategic and tactical missile programs. The development phase of Akash missiles demanded a strong knowledge of the manufacturing technology in order to convert the designs into actual products and today a dedicated facility is established in Walchandnagar to supply these critical components with close tolerances and stringent quality checks.
Defense WIL has been closely functioning with DRDO, R&DE, and other defense organizations on various defense projects and have supplied Aluminum alloy bridges, Container and Launchers, Surface launchers. Currently, WIL is executing surface launcher projects (Wagon mounted and Trailer mounted) with associated hydraulics and control systems for the Missile programs and other confidential projects. WIL has also contributed to the Indian Naval ships and has a track record for supplying highspeed gearboxes (up to 18 MW) for frigates, corvettes, fleet tankers, and survey vessels and submarines. Over the last 11 years, WIL has successfully met various stringent program requirements with demonstrated capabilities for indigenous design, engineering, manufacturing, testing and supply of gearboxes.
Missiles WIL is one of the very few industries that partnered with DRDO during the development phase of its ambitious missiles programs viz., Akash and Agni.
Q. Could you give a brief account of your recent achievements? Our list of achievements come from the combined efforts of all businesses. Aerospace Division allowed us to be a part of the elite group which supplied critical components for “Chandrayaan-I” and “Mangalyaan”. We are a trusted source to the Indian Navy for supplying Marine Gearboxes and I’m proud to state that we have recently supplied a gearbox to the DMDE (18400 HP). It gives me immense pleasure to point the fact that WIL has supplied 50+ gearboxes to the Indian Navy. We have contributed in supplying the critical components for India’s “Agni-V” and continue to do so. Apart from Akash, our missile division has also added Astra and QRSAM to its portfolio. Our Defense business is also involved with many confidential programs. Recently our Instrumentation business has also started catering to the needs of PSUs which is a great breakthrough for us. We are also going to play a major role in Government’s vision to increase
Marine Gearboxes

the utilization of Nuclear Power as an energy source by supplying components for the Nuclear Power plants, orders to which have already started to flow in. In the past, we have already supplied critical equipment to 20 Nuclear Power Plants in India and it is a big achievement when the total count of Nuclear Power Plants is 22 for our nation. Apart from this, WIL’s Centrifugal business has also flourished owning a market share of 60%.
Q. What are the challenges you face and how are you geared to meet them? Being a project-based manufacturing firm, every new project brings with it new complexities and complications. Efforts are indispensable when it comes to design and engineering, process planning, project management and even hunting for new suppliers. This on occasion, makes it difficult for us to adhere to the delivery schedules resulting in delays in product delivery. But as previously mentioned, to bring in Hi-tech manufacturing, improvements in all these sectors is imperative. These issues are critically studied and improvements are planned to bring about the change. Our engineers are even burning the midnight oil to standardize the process wherever possible. With new developments happening daily, it is also very crucial to keep in step with the latest technology and maintain the skill set of employees to be at par with the competition. Actions are being taken in this aspect too with our firm planning to establish new business lines.

WELDING
Trends in welding skill improvement initiatives: WRI perspective Skill India initiatives of the Government of India have been looking at the various skill requirements for the manufacturing sector. With manufacturing sector looking up with Make in India stress, there is a huge need to fill the gaps in welding skills in the country. India is not alone with regard to the welding skill gaps. Across the world there is a strong emphasis on welder skill development considering acute shortage of skilled manpower. The younger population in the world has not shown inclination to acquire welding skills because this is indeed a demanding blue-collared profession. The estimated number of skilled welders required to be added in India is about 10 lakhs by 2020, and this requires concerted efforts across the country to meet such requirements. This paper looks at how WRI jointly with the government agencies have been attempting to impart welding skills to the youth, aiming at inclusive growth. By M. Kayarohanam and R.Easwaran Welding Research Institute, BHEL, Tiruchirappalli-620014
JUNE 2017 | www.engrreview.com
Skill Development Overview The necessity to give impetus to skill based development can be seen for manufacturing sector through a series of available data on demand and supply scenario. Industrialised nations fuel economy through infrastructural development driven by steel consumption amongst others. The projected steel output by 2020 for India is around 120 million tons. If this quantum is used for fabrication, the weld metal deposition required for fabrication will be around 24, 00,000 MT at conservative estimates of 2-3% of steel production. This translates into a weld consumables requirement of 30 to 35 lakh MT. India is still predominantly governed by manual arc welding processes, which means we required around 11.2 lakhs welders assuming a 70% manual arc welding. It is assumed that the other 30% will be met by semi-automatic and mechanised options. The total number of welder requirement to effectively utilize the steel supply to propel In-
dia’s manufacturing option will be around 12.8 lakhs. Thus in order to develop nation on all fronts to become the manufacturing hub, we need to train these many number of welders. Considering the present capacity to train welders, we can look forward to Government and private Industrial Training Institutes (ITI) to provide the supply of manpower. With the present available institutions, we estimate that there will be around 20000 welders per year from all these organisations put together. Then we will be looking to bridge a gap of approximately 10 lakh welders by 2020 to meet the demand. The demand cannot be met overnight and only through regular schooling. As an added initiative apart from the regular training institutes, we can also look at upgrading skill sets of different disciplines by offering them exposure and training. This can be ramped up in the coming years to offer multiple means to address the demand. WRI is in the forefront

of welder training for skills and the following section offer a glimpse of wide range of WRI’s efforts in addressing the industry requirements at various levels of welding professionals.
The Genesis: Blossoming from a skill and an art, to science and technology, embracing multiple disciplines, and shining as a major manufacturing tool, WELDING, today enjoys a pride of place in the industry. Both the conventional and advanced welding processes are finding increasing application in Indian Industry. Accordingly, due recognition to the varied needs of the Indian industries, the National Committee on Science & Technology aptly recommended in 1972 the establishment of Research & Development facilities in welding science & technology in the country. The Govt. of India duly approved the recommendation for establishing the Welding Research Institute, as an adjunct to Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited’s (BHEL) manufacturing unit at Tiruchirappalli. The Welding Research Institute (WRI) was thus founded in November 1975, with the active support of the Government of India through its designated agency, the BHEL, and with the technical and financial assistance under the United Nation Development Program (UNDP) through the United Nations Industrial development Organization (UNIDO).
fabrication needs of the industry and training is also offered at customer works on case to case basis.
Training Of Welders For Skill Development: WRI is having unique state of art welder training facility, equipped with the latest power sources & fume extraction devices, to train about 50 welders at a given time. The availability of this unique facility helps welders from within the country and abroad to come for the training and get qualified thereby enhancing their employability potential. Training of welders for skill development is designed in the following two ways. • An 8 Week training programme in SMAW and GTAW process specifically for ITI qualified youth who desire to enhance their skills to meet the requirement of the industries. • A 6 week training programme in SMAW process specifically for School drop outs (VIII Passed) who desire to pursue their skill in welding to meet the requirement of the industries. In line with the above policy, WRI has trained and certified around 700 ITI qualified men
Education, Training & Certification: Human Resource Development was one of the key servicing areas identified during the establishment of this Institute. Accordingly, programmes for training and certifying welding and NDT personnel at four different levels has been developed taking into consideration the needs of the various fabrication industries.
Broadly, the institute conducts various training programmes under the following categories: • Training of welders for skill development • Training and certifying of welders to National / International standards • Training of technicians / supervisors • Training of Engineers Under each of these training programmes, different modules have been developed customising to technology and customer requirement. These training modules would cater to the

Similar programmes has been conducted for 150 ITI welders in association with TAHDCO, 50 ITI welders in association with RDMA, Government of Tamilnadu and 346 ITI welders and 246 School dropouts in association with Tamilnadu Skill development Corporation (TNSDC). Apart from enhancing the skills of the candidate, the Institute has been stretching to be in link with potential employers, so that these welders can present themselves for getting a suitable employment in the industry, thus enhancing their
employability. All these programs were aimed at employability of a section of population who are underprivileged and lacked exposure to skilled employment opportunities.
Enabling Differently Abled: In the above training program, it was highly challenging to train a candidate from ITI stream, Mr A. Rasli, who had lost his four fingers (except thumb) in an accident in his childhood. Earlier, he had sufficient skill in SMAW process, which requires single hand coordination. To make him suitable for highly demanding eye hand coordination for all types of welding processes, we took up the challenge of specially training him. It is fully to his credit that he has mastered the feeding of TIG filler wire by mounting a cloth support in the left wrist and piercing a holding hole in his overall to continuously feed the filler. With all these impediments, he has successfully welded RT qualified pipe joint with GTAW root pass. It is heartening to note that learning and imparting

Training And Certifying Of Welders To National / International Standards: National / International Recognitions WRI has been recognized by various national and International certifying bodies like Central Boiler Board, American Welding Society (AWS) to test and certify welders as per these standards. WRI has been recognized as a “competent authority” to train & certify welders as per IBR. This is a unique recognition serving as a highlight to the infrastructure and technical competence of WRI in welder training. The Educational institutional membership of AWS has been awarded to WRI. To cater to the demands of a Globalized economy, and the increased need for certified welding professionals as per international standards, WRI has drawn up plans with reputed international institutions/bodies for the conduct of such programmes in India, for the benefit of our welding professionals. In line with this WRI’s training school has been approved by the American Welding Society (AWS) to train and certify welders under
their “School Excelling through National Skill Education (SENSE)” membership Scheme. This makes WRI eligible to train & certify welders at 3 levels (Entry level, Advanced level, and Expert level) and welding professionals as per AWS standards. Through these programmes WRI trained personnel would be able to achieve international recognition, thus enhancing their growth opportunities. All these recognitions have been given to WRI after stringent evaluation of the facilities and the training methodologies adopted at the Institute. The special feature of these programmes is that while the welder is given ample opportunity to develop his skill by welding practical, theoretical inputs on the Dos and DONTs in welding are also given to the welders during classroom sessions. A comprehensive book on welding has been brought out by the institute and is given to all the welders as reading/reference material. This book describes pictorially the various nuances of welding viz. welding process, consumables selection, joint design, defects, welder qualification, safety etc. and is easily grasped by the participant to enhance his / her knowledge in welding processes, consumables and joint selection, defects qualification and safety aspects.
Skill Development in Special materials There are two facets in which important devel-
opments are happening in Welding technology. On the conventional welding requirements, the demand is to address expertise in welding newer materials, dissimilar combinations, higher thicknesses and faster production. Some of the important materials to be addressed for welder’s skill include Cr-Mo steels, maraging steel, Inconel alloys, Aluminium, Titanium, Zirconium and Armour steels. They find applications in power, shipbuilding and defence sectors which account for bulk of the manufacturing sector’s demand. The other development is in the mechanisation of welding operations. Almost all developed nations move towards mechanised and robotic operations for their fabrication demanding the welder to be not only aware of the process but also of the operating machine. Here the consistency of the output is to be ensured for production lines in automotive and transport sectors through Mechanisation. This may demand not just the welding knowledge, but also operator level training in Solid state welding and its allied processes. In view of the above, training of sponsored welders in special materials and processes are also imparted to meet specific demands of the industry on a case to case basis viz. Welding of titanium tubes, Maraging steels, Armour steels and Al & its alloys etc., for the Shipping, Automotive and Space applications.
Simulator Based Skill Development Initiative Welder training at WRI involves hands on methods on actual material for a duration of 6-8 weeks providing an opportunity for the welder to learn the process and methods. However, the skill based training technique demands that the shortcomings of the trainees be assessed quantitatively to improve and hone skills. This is evaluated by the trainer on continual basis and is discussed with the trainee as feedback. In different stages of welder training, it is important for the trainee to be acquainted with the nuances of materials and machine handling to optimize the skills. It is necessary but expensive to use raw materials, consumables and machine hours for such initial phase learning requirements. As an alternative to such demands, a virtual learning initiative could be supplemented for welder trainees to enhance their skill sets. A virtual welder training involves the use of a computer based software system where the welder is

PG Certification programme in Welding & Quality Engineering:
acquainted in a real life welding environment in the absence of actual raw materials and consumables. The virtual welder trainee uses a torch and welds on a simulated environment that are connected to the system through multiple sensors. These sensors measure vital information on the trainees’ eye hand coordination, consistency in weld travel speed and angle of torch etc., which are typically subjectively assessed. Thus the difficulties that each trainee faces can be uniquely recorded and remedial measures be suggested. This exercise marks the beginning of the training program and thus helps to evaluate and customize the approach to be considered for each welder trainee. Apart from quantifying the skill sets, it also saves power, raw materials and consumables used in training. The trainee gets to know the prerequisites in terms of posture, handling and consistency and prepares himself accordingly. On a relative level of performance, it is also possible to rank the trainees based on the performance. All these developments in processes / requirements can be incorporated as software updates thus facilitating the availability of latest technologies to the trainees.
Training Of Technicians / Supervisors Welding Research Institute has been conducting training programmes in welding and Inspection including Non Destructive Testing
JUNE 2017 | www.engrreview.com
for the technicians and supervisors. These programmes enhance and improve the testing and interpretation skills of the technicians so that they are better placed in the industry with regard to NDT techniques, welding processes quality control. Certification programmes up to ASNT Level II in various non-destructive testing methods like Ultrasonic Testing Level II and Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing level II are conducted at the Institute. These certification programmes are so designed that the candidates get hands-on experience in the field of non-destructive testing and practical welding so that on completion the individual would be in a position to take up positions as Inspectors / Instructors in the fabrication industry.
Training For Practicing Engineers Short-term programmes on specific topics such as weld design and distortion, welding & inspection and certification programmes for welding inspectors, etc. are conducted at the Institute for experienced and practicing welding personnel. These programmes are more focused and would normally involve discussions and experience sharing sessions so that all the participants are benefited by the interactions. WRI has so far conducted around 971 such short-term programmes to date. Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) has also recognized the Certified Welding Inspectors (CWI) programme of WRI for their Clients
WRI is conducting a post graduate certification programme, along with PSG College of technology, Coimbatore on Welding & Quality Engineering. While the theoretical sessions are conducted jointly with the support of PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore, the practical sessions and “on the job” training are realized at WRI / BHEL, Tiruchirappalli. To make the students industry ready, they are also trained & qualified to Level II in the four standard NDT techniques (LPI, MPI, RT, &UT). This helps to enhance their employability potential, to cater to the demands of a globalized economy, and the increased need for certified welding professionals as per international standards. This unique venture between the educational institute and a research organization primarily dedicated to welding is probably the first of its kind in the country. The curriculum is so designed such that young engineering graduates with advanced welding engineering concepts and their applications can be readily employed in fabrication industries to take up responsible position. It is only natural that they get placed well at the end of the programme.
Conclusion WRI has successfully used its unique positioning as an application oriented research Institute to spread its knowledge in the field of welding to establish itself as a premier world class Institute benefitting thousands of skilled personnel in Welding Engineering. It also provide training & testing facilities from Welders to Engineers at all levels engaged in Structural fabrication as well as in specialized areas such as welding in boilers & pressure vessels, aerospace, ship building, automotive, Oil & Gas, Railways and defence sectors. The School of Welding at WRI – the training arm of the Institute is practically a ONE STOP SHOP for imparting knowledge on welding and its allied fields. The systematic training imparted has been recognized by the industry worldwide and WRI trained welding personnel are positioned in key areas practically in all parts of the globe. In this endeavour, WRI is also proud to be associated in nation building of National Skill Development and Tamil Nadu Skill Development initiatives.

Rollon Linear rails, Telescopic rails & Actuators for better performing machines The Italian company Rollon, a specialist in the production of linear motion systems, continues to grow and increase its strong points: The product, with a range that is now one of the most complete and competitive; their know-how, gained through specific expertise in complex Cartesian systems and integrated solutions; and the ability to create and perfect highly specialized and customized solutions able to satisfy any need.
T
he linear rails, telescopic rails and actuators made by Rollon ensure proper function and improved performance of machine tools. In fact, industrial machines are supposed to guarantee efficiency in the production process: machining centers, cutting machines, painting machines, and machines for processing wood or marble must be able to run smoothly for long periods of time, often with demanding cycles and in critical conditions (presence of liquids, process residue, contaminants or corrosive substances). Problems during operation or machine down time result in loss of efficiency and additional expenses. Each component must, therefore, contribute to the optimal operation of the
JUNE 2017 | www.engrreview.com
machine, and ensure maximum reliability, considerable simplicity during assembly and/ or replacement phases, and reduced maintenance.
A complete range of solutions for machine tools Solutions for several linear motion applications for industrial machines are available through the use of Rollon linear rails, such as lateral sliding of protective devices, the movement of control panels or the movement of tools in machining centers. These rails have the ability to absorb misalignments, especially the rails in the product family Compact Rail, and they guarantee important advantages to industrial machine manufacturers in applications of this type. They make it possible to lower the costs of uniforming the surfaces of machines, which are often irregular, or to manage movement efficiently even without a rigid structure: under these conditions, an excessively rigid system would not be able to operate correctly. Furthermore, the use of ball bearing sliders makes it possible to maintain excellent quality of sliding even in the presence of process residue or contaminants (sawdust, powders, etc.) Manufacturers of industrial machines, to manage the extractions of compartments or components from machines during maintenance, can instead use the Rollon telescopic rails. The Telescopic Rail family, in particular, is used in the field of heavy duty extractions.
98 TECH TRENDS
Its high load capacity is guaranteed by hardened raceways and reduced deflection, which allow maximum efficiency and complete ergonomics, with extractions of up to 200% of the length of the rail. The acquisition of the Italian company Tecno Center has allowed Rollon to consolidate its own know-how in the field of Cartesian robotics and integrated mechanical solutions to create the Actuator System Line, the product line dedicated to industrial automation that offers several solutions for machine tool automation. Offered in the Actuator System Line, Cartesian systems with multiple vertical axes are widely used to automate machining centers.
JUNE 2017 | www.engrreview.com
Vertical axes can be independent, thanks to the rack and pinion drive on the Y axis, or they can be coordinated amongst themselves with rigid connections and paired with a short belt drive on the Y axis. Rollon also offers a pneumatic load compensation system on the Z axes that, because of a cylinder inside the profile of the axis, makes it possible to reduce the motor size and consumption requirements. The Telescopic Actuator is another example of an automation solution from the Actuator System Line. This solution is a telescopic actuator able to move in one or more directions for a stroke length that is equal to or greater than its own length in a closed position, which guarantees greater availability of space and thereby saves money. It can be used in several different directions of movement: horizontal, vertical or wall mounted. In the first case, the telescopic actuator allows presses mounted in series to be powered with a single central unit that can extend on a double stroke. With a vertical installation, instead, the extreme compact size of the system in its closed position renders the telescopic actuator ideal for use in applications in which the client does not have sufficient space between the machine and the ceiling to install an arm that can be lifted for the same pitch of the stroke. Lastly, in a wall-mounted solution, the telescopic actuator facilitates the automation of machine tools where there is the need to not have hindranc-

Seventh Axis is a shuttle system designed to increase the range of action of anthropomorphic robots. It is easily integrated into any type of robot, up to 2000 kg, and the frame is made of anodized aluminum profiles that offer considerable benefits in terms of weight, transportability and modularity, while maintaining a high degree of stiffness. The linear rails have either a roller recycle system or a ball recycle system, with a belt drive or rack and pinion drive with ground inclined teeth. The Seventh Axis range is structured in seven different solutions that can be combined with different robots. To operate more efficiently also in dirtier environments, there are also three versions of protection systems. Lastly, the system can be configured for assembly with tracks on the ground, walls or ceiling.

nnovation has emerged as one of the key growth drivers in the 21st century. The Indian Government has recently declared the period from 2010 to 2020 as the Indian Decade of Innovation. Various challenges faced on the sustainability front can all be addressed through innovation. It is a known fact that challenges create opportunities, paving way for new ideas and concepts. This is the time to redefine the businesses, processes and systems. Pump manufacturing contributes significantly to the growth of the Indian economy. It has proved to be a highly critical element in boosting the productivity of the core segments of the industry. A pump is an integral part of any industrial process and therefore its downtime would mean stalling of the entire process, leading to substantial production and revenue loss for the company. Today, India has attained near self-sufficiency in terms of pump demand, be it for large water supply schemes, nuclear power plants, conventional power generation units, commercial building services or high-end process industries. Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL) has been making in India for the past over 100 years and understands that, as a leading pump manufacturing company, we have a larger role to play in the Make in India campaign. Since its inception in the year 1888, KBL has been involved in the development of innovative products, be it the first iron plough for the agricultural industry or its latest Lowest Lifecycle Cost (LLC) series for the pump industry. In fact, throughout the industrialisation era, KBL has played a pivotal role in introducing indigenously manufactured

products into the Indian industry, right from agricultural implants to engineering products like lathes, pumps, valves, turbines, etc. At KBL, the i-Mission team which is a group of dedicated engineers, works very closely with the user industry to understand their needs and challenges that they face in their regular day-to-day work routine. The feedback from the customers has helped us from time-to-time to improvise and launch new pump series and provide better and more sustainable solutions to the industry. Of late, power consumption and higher mean time between failures have been among the major challenges faced by the pump users. The focus of the manufacturers in India has usually been on initial capital cost. However, the cost of running the pump accounts for almost 95-97% of its overall life-cycle cost, clearly emphasising its importance. Loss incurred due to unexpected downtime and halt in production line is another significant cost component. It has been estimated that almost 1/5th of the total power generated in the world is consumed by pumps and systems, i.e. 20% of 21,000 Terawatts per hour. It accounts for nearly 2550% of the energy consumed during certain industrial plant operations. Reducing these costs requires major improvements in pump design and process, which involves significant investment. To address the above concern, we at KBL have developed the innovative Lowest Life Cycle Cost (LLC) pump series. As per the Hydraulic Institute of US and Euro Pumps, water pumps lose efficiency by up to 1-1 ½ percentage points per year while LLC pumps lose less than 0.25 percentage points per year. Due to its sustained energy efficiency
JUNE 2017 | www.engrreview.com
over a longer period and lowest pump downtime, this pump series is in high demand in India and in International market. Some of the notable examples in India include Delhi Jal Board, Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) and Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC). The capital cost of the LLC pump is marginally higher than the traditional designs but the payback period is less than three years and in some cases less than 2 years. Hence, it proves to be the best option. The product user will be able to generate revenue by way of reducing outflow with regard to energy and maintenance bills and also through lesser downtime. Some of the other innovations by KBL include PAT (Pump as Turbine), a decentralised small-scale hydroelectric power generating unit, which is one of the most techno-commercially feasible solution. KBL has also provided pumping solutions to the Indian nuclear industry, which include sodium pumps for fast breeder reactors as well as pumps for boiler feed, shutdown cooling, condensate extraction, cooling water and other critical pumping applications in the Power sector. With the N & NPT certification, KBL has established credentials as a major supplier of nuclear grade equipment and components for the fast-growing Nuclear Power sector in the country. The company has also provided Canned pump that is used for handling liquid ammonia in the cold storage industry. Besides, KBL is the first company to introduce Concrete Volute Pump (CVP) for high discharge requirements in power plants and for city flood control and irrigation schemes. One of the latest customers of our CVP is Bangkok Water Supply Department.
With nine plants in India and seven facilities abroad, we are serving the industry in all sectors and across almost all geographies. We offer wide range of pumps and valves for almost every requirement. We manufacture pumps ranging from 2 m head to 1000 m head, with discharge ranging from 2 cubic metre per hour to 1,20,000 cubic metre discharge per hour. Similarly, we manufacture valves ranging from 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) size to 5000 mm size. Thus, with such an extensive range of fluid management solutions, we are able to cater to a large number of areas, right from small utility requirements to complex engineered irrigation schemes or even large municipal water pumping projects. We have installations in 80+ countries. We are amongst the few pump and valve companies in the world to have in-house design and research centre, in-house foundry and in-house machining facility, i.e. complete in-house manufacturing centre, wherein we not only undertake pump and valve designing but also complete system engineering. We also provide customised solutions. KBL’s hi-end engineering solutions that resulted in substantial savings in CAPEX as well as OPEX have been well-received and appreciated by customers. We believe that all the above accomplishments have been possible because of the unwavering belief, support and encouragement that we have been receiving from our customers. Innovation is the core of our organisation and it is a continuous process.

onsul Neowatt, the Global Indian UPS company and manufacturers of Sunbird solar inverters, the preferred choice of system integrators in India, announced that setting up manufacturing facilities without electricity grid connections is now a reality. It has successfully completed one year of operations of a manufacturing plant in Satara, Maharashtra where the entire load of the factory including CNC machines, welding machines, paint booth as well as lighting requirements was powered by solar. At this factory, the captive solar power plant with energy storage is the primary source of power for the whole factory. The daily requirement of the facility is met by a captive 80kW solar plant. At the heart of so-

lar plant is a Consul Neowatt Sunbird hybrid solar inverter that is capable of generating around 320 units of electricity per day and also storing the excess energy in a battery for use when the sun is not shining. The factory does not have a EB connection and uses a DG set as a backup power source when energy demand exceeds the solar power plant capacity. With the solar power plant the factory has been able to turn green and reduce its carbon footprint. Speaking on this Sriram Ramakrishnan, MD & CEO, Consul Neowatt Power Solution said “with the successful demonstration of a captive solar power plant, a whole new avenue of industrial and commercial development is possible that will not depend

on availability of electrical grid power. Also with captive solar power plants we can reduce the burden on the electricity grid and consequent need for the building or expansion of power plants burning fossil fuels.” Traditionally solar power has been used in industrial, manufacturing and commercial facilities primarily to power lighting and other loads which mostly draw a steady current. In the past, the prohibitive cost and lack of technically advanced solar inverters to power fluctuating loads like machines and compressors meant that solar power was used for only on-critical loads like lighting. Now advanced technology incorporated in Consul Neowatt Sunbird solar inverters ensure that even loads drawing surge currents like welding machines, CNC machines and paint booths in their work cycle can be powered using solar power. Manufacturing plants can truly go off grid and be insulated from the policy of the state electricity boards (it would be controversial to state that industrial customers need to pay more to subsidize the cost for domestic customers). Adding Sriram said, “We strongly believe that solar power with energy storage can give true independence from the grid. The move to showcase a grid independent manu-
facturing unit in Maharashtra was the logical step after a successful showcase of grid independent commercial building in Bangalore last year. The most important proof of success is the satisfaction of the customer that the captive solar power plant has met his expectations.” Today, Consul Neowatt’s 1-250 KW Sunbird Solar Inverters are the preferred choice of solar system integrators and are playing a critical role in enabling the PM’s vision for Rural Electrification under Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana Scheme. Consul Neowatt offers a range of Off-grid, On-grid and Hybrid inverters upto 250 kVA. Consul Neowatt UPS and solar inverter products are also providing uninterrupted power supply for many Smart City projects.

How reusable transmission tower systems are making a mark
E
mergency Restoration System (ERS) structures are a temporary solution designed to bypass the existing transmission towers of any voltage in any terrain (ERS) structures will be used until the main line is reconductored or restored. The entire structure can then be disassembled and reused. The unique feature of Supreme ERS structure is that they are made of High strength steel instead of High Strength Aluminium. High strength steel has three times the specific gravity and yield strength of more than 2 times when compared with High strength Aluminium alloy. Another reason why High Strength steel is preferred over Aluminium is due to the wide spread usage of High Strength Steel in the transmission sector. India uses close to 1 million MT of High Strength Steel on towers alone. Rolling and Fabrication process of High Strength Steel is

highly standardised and thus it is economical, functionally dependable and structurally stable option. The savings due to reduced outage time far outweighs the cost of such ERS which is now substantially reduced due to use of steel. The ERS structure is made in sections of 3 m length which makes the structure to be completely modular. Depending upon the
voltage level, the number of sections is decided. The structure is supported by combination of guys and the structure can be installed without any civil foundation. Erection of the structure was made ease with the usage of Gin Pole which negates the need of heavy machineries. The use of composite insulator cross arm has reduced the crossarm load on the structure. Engineering team of Supreme made use of design software like PLS CADD to design the Steel based ERS structure. The sections are designed considering the allowable bending moment as per IEEE Standards.The availability of wide range of anchoring solutions with Supreme enabled the erection of ERS structures in all kinds of soil. With skilled manpower that Supreme possess, we were able to erect the structure in hours. The cost of such provisional tower is around one third of ERS solution cur-

Right meter security seal procured from right source can do wonder to protect Energy Meters
Rajesh Kumar Banka - Managing Director, Safcon Seals Private Limited
T
oday’s rapidly changing energy marketplace is providing electricity industry and its shareholders with new opportunities, challenges and risks. It’s high time for CEO of electric distribution companies to protect their revenue from energy theft and meter tampering. Electricity theft is a major problem in India. Revenue protection and loss prevention are hot topics now-a-days in the utility industry. As per recent press news, Central Electricity Authority has said that T&D losses in India are still very high when compared to international standards. “There are still many companies and organizations that are afraid to talk about electricity theft. For some reason they prefer to sweep this important issue under the carpet. But personally I believe that this must be brought into the open as we have to protect the good paying customers who end up footing the bill.” We have come a long way in Power Reform but still very little has been achieved in reducing power theft and meter tampering. One of the main reasons for failure in this area is that no attention is given to the small looking security seal, which can do wonders. Selection
JUNE 2017 | www.engrreview.com
of proper meter seal needs detailed study and interaction with professional manufacturers of the security seals. In India, meter seals are simply known as ‘seals’ where as these must be treated as “Security Seals” so that importance and safety aspect of the product is recognized by everybody in the organization as well as consumers. Use of right Security Seal is the first step towards protection of energy meter from tampering and to prevent power theft. “The success of the meter protection system is not only in the quality of the seal, but in the efficacy of the entire security system designed for the particular purpose. The basis for the integrity of our systems is that each seal is individually and uniquely numbered making possible the immediate discovery of any tampering. Although these products and systems have been a success worldwide, in India the success rate is comparatively low due to lack of appropriate system in place. The success of meter protection and power theft control largely depends on the selection of right security seal, selection of reliable professional security seal manufacturers, procurement procedures, storage and issuing procedure, confidentiality of specification, inspection protocol, motivation to catch the thief, safeguarding, correct application and disposal as well as auditing techniques etc. These are individual links of a chain and if any one link is weak, desired or expected results cannot be achieved. Security seals are tamper-indicating devices used to detect and report unauthorized entry, and perhaps discourage it. Unlike intrusion or burglar alarms, seals report unauthorized entry after the fact. They must be inspected manually to determine if unauthorized access has taken place. A seal does not need to physically resist entry. (In other words, a seal is not a lock). The effectiveness of seals is strongly dependent on the proper protocols for using them. These pro-
tocols are the official and unofficial procedures used for seal procurement, storage, record keeping, installation, inspection, removal, disposal, reporting, interpreting findings, and training. With a good protocol, a modest seal can provide excellent security. On the other hand, a sophisticated seal used poorly may be worse than useless if naively trusted. In choosing a seal, it is important to bear in mind that unit cost is not always the most important economic factor associated with using a seal, nor is cost necessarily well correlated with the level of security a seal can provide. Utility meters are the means to measure and bill customers for usage – just like a cash register. The accuracy of the meters determines the accuracy of recorded revenue. The purpose of security seal is to protect the revenue completely by preventing unauthorised access for meter tampering. Remember valuables are required to be protected with reliable locks and need to be periodically checked. For example, if we go out of our home for a vacation for a long time, we usually lock our home carefully and instruct our neighbors to keep an eye on our house periodically. Some people don’t lock their cars and houses. However, if we have something we care about, most of us will lock it up. I believe discoms’ cash register falls into the category of valuables. The meter at each location must be protected with a properly applied security seals and periodically inspected. A sealing programme is the first line of defence to energy meter protection, since it is a simple indication at the meter that something is wrong. If a utility company has all its sealing devices securely inventoried, then the basics are in place. If you are aware that seals are sold or given away by your employees, you must rethink your strategy. Seals must be stored securely and assigned to individuals responsible for their safe-keeping. Training field persons in suitable supervision and follow up inspection of seals is a basic

safeguard of the cash register. To provide optimum level of protection to energy meters and to enhance the security level, I highly recommend the use of High quality Polycarbonate barcoded serial numbered security seals on energy meters to deter counterfeiters from tampering the meters. In high consumption meters like in shopping malls, industrial unit with HT/LT connections tamper resistant metal barrier security seals must also be used with combination of Polycarbonate barcoded serial numbered security seals for extra protection because the stakes are very high in comparison to residential electric meters. The lead seals or plastic seals which require pliers/special tools must not be used for meter protection. It is quite possible that the pliers/ tools can be stolen or misplaced and if the same plier/tool is used for sealing by counterfeiters it becomes almost impossible to catch the tampering. I personally believe that seals with pliers/tools are not at all reliable. Often I come across people saying that meter was found tampered whereas the meter seal was intact. On investigation, many a times, I found that the utility company was using lead seal or a plastic seal which require special sealing plier for locking and many pliers were missing. I have noticed that ordinary plastic seals made from recycled plastics or paper stickers are employed on energy meters for protection. Since they have already burnt their fingers with the use of spurious quality seals, they start believing that all seals are alike and are useless. It’s high time that people in the organisations must make themselves updated and must be able to make out difference in ordinary seals and technologically advanced reliable security seals. Security seals are inseparable from meters so long meter protection is required and the fact is that amazing results can be achieved with use of right security seals procured from right manufac-

turers with effective inspection protocol. A seal costing a minimum of 25 cents is used to protect the electric meters in USA, in spite of using advanced range of electronic meters, AMR, Smart meters and technologically advanced systems. Another important criterion for the success of meter sealing system is safeguarding the specification of seals used and the procurement procedure. Often advertised tenders are invited by the electric utility companies for procurement of security seals and anybody can purchase the specification by paying the tender cost. The minute details are provided in the tender specification, it become easy for counterfeiters to understand the company’s sealing program for meter protection. Please remember, though low cost, security seals are locks to your revenue meter and the details of your lock and keys required to be protected completely. Can a drawing of keys be provided openly and then expect that the thief will not open the lock with duplicate keys which he is able to produce beforehand. I personally believe that the purchase of security seals needs special attention for a successful meter protection system. Individuality and integrity is another most important aspect in selection of a meter security seals. Identical seals manufactured by more than one company must be avoided. All reputed, reliable and trusted manufacturers offer their standard, time tested, patented innovative seals with customization to meet individual requirements whereas non-professionals manufacturers can offer you similar looking seals. Mark the difference – for example if you are buying Seal design “A” from two
low standard manufacturers ABC Co. & XYZ Co. Both are supplying you identical seals and for some reasons XYZ Co. start loosing your orders. Is there any possibility of introduction of duplicate seals? I don’t say “Yes” completely in all cases but still chances are there. And as a utility company, can you afford to take such risks? Ask yourself. In my opinion, utility company must shortlist only reliable and professional manufacturers of security seals on their vendor list for security seal supplies and procure their patented seals. Never encourage a vendor to reproduce another vendor’s security seal as this will result in collapse of your sealing system one day. A long-term view is very important in selecting vendor and security seal design. Another important question I come across is about how to identify duplicate seals or prevent use of duplicate seals. The answer to this question is very simple. If each aspect of the sealing system is in place and taken care of, there will not be any place for duplicate seals. If well-trained employees do their required job sincerely, the duplicate seal can be easily identified. To identify duplicate seal is very simple. First of all remember seals manufactured by two manufacturers will not be 100% identical for the fact one is manufactured by highly sophisticated professional manufacturer and another got manufactured by low standard manufacturer by counterfeiter. When in doubt of duplicate seal, just examine visually with original discom seal held right alongside and compare. Humans do not accurately remember details of exact color, size, surface texture, and patterns, but they are very proficient at visual side-by-side comparisons. Part of the
132 CASE STUDY
answer to prevent use of duplicate seals has been covered in previous paragraphs. Another important precaution required to discourage duplicate seal is proper disposal of used/discarded seals. It is often observed many seal users are careful to safeguard their seals prior to use but careless about disposing of used seals and seal parts. This sloppiness can be exploited by an adversary intent on learning about an organization’s seal program, getting sample seals and components to practice defeat techniques, and counterfeiting seals, seal parts, serial numbers, or imprinted/ stamped logos. Once a seal has completed its function, it should be protected or thoroughly destroyed. Punching a hole in the seal or cutting it in half is not sufficient. My two decades of experience in Security Seal industry have led me to formulate some generic suggestions for optimizing the security and reliability of Security Seals. I believe that many of these suggestions can be implemented with minimal additional cost, and with only minor changes in the design of the products and/or how they are used.
Some of these suggestions include: • Users of security seals should have a clear understanding of their goals and what they want the security seals to accomplish. Periodically revisit these issues. • Company identification or codes must be embossed on seals as they are difficult to reproduce. Printed company identification/
Tamper Resistant Barcoded Barrier Security Seal
JUNE 2017 | www.engrreview.com
code can be easily incorporated. • Seals with unique and individual serial number must be used. In the digital era, serial number in barcode form is prefereed as they not only provide convenience of reading with handheld scanner but are also difficult to manufacture and further reduces the chance of use of fake seals in the system. • Serial numbers should always be highly visible in contrast colour for easy reading and verification. They should be deeply penetrated onto seal body so that that they can’t be easily buffed off. Embossed serial numbers must be avoided for meter security seals as they are difficult to read and verify and errors are possible. • Only a small number of personnel within the utility should be authorised to order, store, checkout, and dispose of protective security seals. All security seal orders should originate from the head office or a pre-determined ordering location. • Security seals should be viewed as only one part of an overall security or verification program. Discovering vulnerabilities in a seal does not necessarily mean that the entire security/verification program has failed. • Security seals must be procured directly from reputed manufacturer. • Electric utility company and manufacturer of tamper evident security seals must work as a team on long term partnership basis. Utility company must share their experience of tampering with manufacturers periodically for optimizing reliability and security of the existing seal. • Materials testing of a seal--while useful--are not a substitute for a comprehensive vulnerability assessment. • New security seals should undergo vulnerability assessments throughout the design process, not just when the product is complete and it is too late to make changes. • Security seals inspectors should be familiar with the most likely attack scenarios associated with the seal they are using, and specifically look or test for them. • Security seals that are inspected visually should be examined with an identical seal held right alongside. Humans do not accurately remember details of exact color, size, surface texture, and patterns, but they are very proficient at visual side-by-side comparisons. • In order to maintain control over your
sealing system, all seals must be properly applied and checked by an inspector or authorised person periodically • Inspectors should be rewarded, not punished, for finding potential. • Test your seal installers and inspectors (and your tamper detection program) on a frequent, unannounced basis by inserting damaged or tampered seals, or leaving a small decal or token, or tampering with the meter. Give them an immediate cash reward when the anomaly is reported. • Security seals must be protected both before and after use. Discarded seals, even if partially destroyed, provide potential adversaries with a useful source of information and counterfeit parts. • Manufacturers should not sell or provide free samples of seals lacking serial numbers. • There should be periodic vulnerability assessments, ideally conducted by outside, independent personnel psychologically predisposed to finding problems and suggesting useful counter-measures. These assessments should not be used to “certify” or “reject” certain products. Rather, vulnerability assessment should be thought of as a means for understanding the strengths and weaknesses of a security seal, for matching it to the most appropriate applications, and for optimizing reliability and security. • Security seal specification must be safeguarded for optimum results. Now it’s peak time to put full attention to meter seal management, as it is a vital component of security of energy meters. If you are able reduce your theft and meter tampering by even 50%, you will realize that it has done wonder for your company.

Leroy-Somer powers new cable-car transit system in Brest
B
rest Métropole wants to refocus the city over the banks of the River Penfeld. The cable car system is aimed at strengthening the trade links between both sides of the river. With a range of 420 meters it links the city center with the new Capucins district, which has been built on 16 hectares of former military grounds. The structure designed in accordance with original and innovative technology where the two lines cross over each other via a “flyover” system is a first internationally. The two cable cars cross over each other instead of passing each other at the same level as traditional cable cars do, and they then arrive at the same platform. The scale of the system and the stations, including the ground required, are reduced as a result, thereby also resulting in a reduction in overall civil engineering costs. This is a particular benefit in an urban environment where space is limited. This innovative approach enabled preservation of the Capucins station building, which is protected as a national historical monument. As such the cable cars cross one single steel pylon which integrates into the surrounding environment of dockyards and their cranes. Each car is attached to two carrying cables 50mm in diameter stretched to 88 tones. The counterweight effect generally observed on mountain installations is avoided as the cable cars move simultaneously over most of the route.
Low power consumption One of the challenges posed by Brest Métropole involved implementing a solution with low power consumption. The idea was therefore to recover the braking energy, but the energy operators have not yet systematically developed the full potential for reinjection of current into their network. The legislative framework provides for this, for solar energy production for instance, but certainly does not do this when the system consumes and reinjects current over very short cycles, as is the case in Brest. The solution therefore consisted in storing energy in super capacity batteries when the cable cars are descending, in order to then reuse this energy for the subsequent ascent. The project was awarded to Bartholet France for the cable car system, and to Seirel, an

expert in electrical equipment and safety automation, for the transportation via cable. “We made contact with several suppliers, and only Leroy-Somer had the experience with this type of application, and was also able to provide all of the electromechanical components”, explains Thomas Savin, project manager for Seirel Automatismes. The heart of the system, i.e. the drive for the traction cables, is driven by two latest generation Leroy-Somer IMfinity LC 315 asynchronous motors (300kW, 1500rpm, 460V) with liquid cooling, assembled as master-slave on the same shaft. This installation provides the additional option of double redundancy since just one of the two motors is enough to continue operations in degraded mode (low speed). The motors are controlled by two Leroy-Somer Powerdrive MD2S inverters, which are in turn supplied by Powerdrive MD2R active front-end rectifiers connected to the power network. A DC converter, also from the Leroy-Somer range, enables management of the operations for the M65V385F supercapacitors developed by Blue Solutions (Bolloré Group). The supercapacitors have been specially designed to meet the needs of industrial applications requiring high power ratings. Meeting the most demanding functional specifications, they charge and discharge in just a few seconds and provide service lives of several hundred thousand cycles. ”This achievement would not have been
possible without Leroy-Somer’s expertise in project engineering”, says Guillaume Bourgoint, marketing applications manager for LeroySomer. “Through relying on a huge range of motors and variable speed drives based on different technologies, we are able to offer our clients custom solutions in terms of drive and automation systems. As such, linking the IMfinity LC motor, characterized by silent power, with the Powerdrive MD2 inverter, with custom power, seemed like the obvious solution to us given the specifications and constraints of the application”. “We appreciated Leroy-Somer sharing its expertise and helping us during the project design phase with its solution-based approach and experience. What’s more, having just one single point of contact responsible for all of the moving components was the perfect guarantee for us in a project as groundbreaking as this one. We specifically wanted one single supplier for the motors and their controls. We have traditionally used a different brand of converter, but configuring the Powerdrive MD2 from Leroy-Somer turned out to be child’s play”, adds Thomas Savin. In the event of network loss, an emergency mode using an electric generator with a LSA 44.3 low voltage alternator, also manufactured by Leroy-Somer, enables the cable cars to be returned to the stations. Safety has been reviewed right down to the last detail in order to ensure protection against any eventualities. “This is the first time a cable car system has included an energy recovery solution with batteries. This achievement is a direct reflection of our company, which is able to position itself

on more complex engineering projects, and will no doubt be an inspiration for other projects around the globe”, explains Nicolas Chapuis, Managing Director at Bartholet France.
Silent and compact “Another challenge in the project was that the area available for installing the motors was in the immediate proximity of the passengers. The project’s groundbreaking industrial design meant that the motors are just a few centimeters behind a glass cabinet visible to users. The equipment therefore had to be silent and compact for the purposes of the site ergonomics and for passenger comfort. Once again LeroySomer stood out against the competitors in this area too with its IMfinity LC motor solutions”, adds Nicolas Chapuis. With liquid cooling, the IMfinity LC asynchronous motors are up to 25% more compact than a motor cooled using air with equivalent power. Their sound level is also reduced by 10 to 20 dB, thereby enabling optimum acoustic discretion. This benefit is explained by the efficiency of the cooling circuit which surrounds the mo-

tor system entirely. Its dependable design and Premium IE3 energy efficiency make it one of the most accomplished motors in the IMfinity range. “The LC series, available from 150kW to 1.5MW, is ideal for all cases where the motor is close to the operators or users of the application. It meets the increasingly urgent need for acoustic comfort related to working equipment for teams in workshops or for users located nearby”, explains Guillaume Bourgoint.
The route for this cable car system is particularly suitable for an energy recovery system, as it is implemented initially during ascent and then during descent, with the departure and arrival points both being at an equivalent altitude. Energy is consumed in order to arrive at the line’s summit point. Once this point has been crossed, the descent phase constitutes a source of braking energy that can be reinjected into the system in order to supply the ascent once again, thereby resulting in a very significant reduction in energy costs. “This achievement could potentially be used as an example for other industrial applications, such as for lifting”, explains Thomas Savin. “The theoretical energy savings amount to more than 90%, but the main obstacle today relates to the supercapacitors. Here we sized them in order to store around half of the energy required, and this itself represents an investment of 200,000 euros. This cost will probably fall rapidly in the near future”.

E+G: Oil drain valves plus accessories Elesa+Ganter enlarges its ‘Hydraulics” production line: Special valves for clean oil change and elements for safe the ventilation and breathing of containers now round off the product range. Changing oil is not exactly anybody‘s favourite work. Help comesin the shape of Elesa+Ganter‘s GN 880 oil drain valve: it speeds up the used oil draining and makes the job neater and cleaner. The small standard elements available in different sizes replace the conventional drain plugs in the oil sumps of vehicles or machines. The matching connector piece GN 880.1 ensures the controlled draining of the used medium. Bolted to the oil drain valve with a union nut, it operates its valve plate and allows the oil to flow straight into the collecting pan without polluting the environment. The connector piece is available as a straight, 45 degree or 90 degree variant, suitable for virtually any installation situation. Temperature resistant up to 160°C and pressure resistant up to 100 bar, the GN 880 oil drain valve is a true all-rounder. The valve body is made of zinc-plated passivated steel or brass, while the seal tightness is guaranteed by an O ring at the valve plate and a metal sealing ring at the point the unit is screwed in. Designed for long service life, tests involving 50,000 operating actions have shown no signs of malfunction
or wear and tear. Matching this series, Elesa+Ganter‘s product range now also offers ventilation and breathing valves, for instance the GN 881 breather valve which automatically opens inside the tank at a pressure above 200 mbar and so avoids problematic excess pressure from building up. With its stainless steel pressure spring and the brass sealing disk with silicon-rubber coating, the GN 881 has been designed for long service life. The same function is provided by the less complex GN 883 breather valve with its pressure spring and ball combination, but with no less reliability. The GN 882 ventilation and breather valve operates in both directions, allowing a defined volume of air into and out of the container. The integrated stainless steel wire mesh of filter category G2-G3 prevents dirt particles from penetrating the tank from the outside and oil particles from escaping from the container. GN 882 is available in the sizes M12 to M30 and in four inch-based sizes.

Compressed Air Dryer – Refrigeration Type It is best to ensure that compressed air is dry and clean before it is used in any pneumatic process. Moisture is always present in the compressed air along with dust particles, oil (oils particles are introduced by lubricated air compressors) and solid contaminants which can adversely affect air quality. If the compressed air is not dry there will be corrosion in compressed air pipe line, pneumatic tools and Systems which will lead to their malfunctioning. The only positive means of moisture removal is the installation of Compressed Air Dryers. In most cases Refrigeration Dryer are suitable where application require ADP upto -20°C (-4°F). Refrigeration Dryers are low in first cost, operating cost and energy consumption, making them the most cost effective solution for drying for general instrumentation and controls. Refrigeration Dryer operates on the method of cooling the air near to freezing point to remove the moisture and reheating it to approximately 10°C below the incoming compressed air temperature at nominal conditions.It is designed for just the right quality of air at the most economical costs. It has wide instrumentation air where requirement is between 3°C PDP to 6°C PDP. It use less energy and hence low operating cost. The FDI series Air Dryers a packaged self contained unit, fully automatic and produces a steady level of
dewpoint. They are available in 28 standard models, with capacities from 10.6 CFM to 6000 CFM. It provides Atmospheric Dew Point down to -20°C approx.

and increased customer benefits. Thanks to the specially developed integrated vacuum stabilization, the filtration systems adjust the extraction performance automatically and flexibly to the necessary contaminant-capturing rate. In particular, this enables pollutant capturing at several workplaces, which may help to save costs to a high degree. Depending on application, the new air purification systems will be provided with a specially configured multistage filtration concept, including HEPA filters. The cost-efficient separately exchangeable prefilters increase the main filters‘ durability and, thus, significantly minimize replacement and expendable part costs. The main filters‘ separation rates of more than 99.95% includes the filtration of nanoparticles.
Activated carbon or chemisorption stages for gas filtration may be added. The utilization of Z-Line filters as cardboard boxes allows for simple filter handling and low contamination filter exchange. The systems provide a filter exchange prewarning at 80% filter saturation. That enables sufficient time to plan the safe and convenient replacement of filters resulting in shorter down-times and, hence, time and cost savings. An M12 interface for device connection is also integrated. The new system range can be equipped with flexible and extensible capturing solutions to individually adapt to changing process conditions or local conditions – from extraction arms to sound suppressors, hoses, and adapters.
ing footprint, it’s also a smart, flexible solution for a wide range of markets and applications, viz. Environmental, General industrial, medical, printing & packaging, food and beverage, transportation, laboratory, and material handling.
Designed to performs “When we set out to re-engineer our rocking piston compressor, we aimed to do more than just increase pressure. We set out to dramatically reduce sound, enhance flow, create a standard footprint for easy retrofit anywhere in the world and improve the compressor’s aesthetics,” says Gast. The inherent design of rocking piston
technology makes it the optimal choice for applications requiring high pressure or vacuum and air flow in a small package. The flexible cup is made with superior materials and mounted on top of the connecting rod, creating vacuum or pressure while maintaining a tight seal against the cylinder walls in a rocking motion. The forgiving design has fewer components, causes less friction and has a low exhaust temperature, for greater reliability and durability for the life of the product. Despite it’s small size, the versatility of 86/87R means this is the right product to deliver quality air solutions.
