Material Handling Equipments: FEA Services from EGS
India
Real Life Situations:- Imagine reducing 16% of the weight of a scissor lift platform by performing FEA. This has a cascading effect on the costing of the entire platform starting from load carrying members, bearings, actuators, oil circuits, reservoirs, material consumed, transportation, operational efficiency and lift time ! Not to mention profitability and customer satisfaction.
- An EOT Crane handling molten metal cannot stop or fail and has to perform continuously without any downtime. Imagine thermal cracks developing on the crane leading to vulnerability in handling molten metal !
- An easy-to-transport-assembe-disassemble-re-assemble crane needs to be provided for lifting over 100 Tonnes. Weight reduction, failsafe performance and above all cost savings are mandatory objectives that cannot be compromised.
- In an RFQ situation wherein the specification in a tender
document states usage of a particular regulatory code, every
manufacturer estimates Bill of Materials ( BOM ) for costing with very
little deviations in design. Margin of profit is determined only
by cost overheads, operational efficiency and expenses. In such a
situation if the BOM reflects a 10% reduction in cost without
compromising on reliability and quality, that significantly impacts the
bottomline profitability.
