Removing barriers for OEMs through Automated Manufacturing (ROAM)

随着汽车行业迅速走向电气化，原始设备制造商和一级企业投资于电子机械制造能力的障碍不仅包括对市场采用率的担忧，还包括建设能力所需的巨额资金。这个项目演示(为原始设备制造商开发类似制造的设施中的电子机械制造)旨在克服这些障碍。演示的**动机**是通过创建一种颠覆性的商业模式来克服这些挑战，该模式提供以下内容：*一个现成的设施，供客户在产品发布的早期阶段/几年内生产他们的电子机械设计，建立在强大的英国供应链之上。*有机会购买一条交钥匙装配线，一旦产量增加，就可以在自己的设施中容纳。电气自动化是项目负责人，地平线仪器作为项目合作伙伴。Horizon是提供创新自动化解决方案的专家，也是电气化的机器制造合作伙伴。由该设施的潜在供应商和客户组成的演示指导委员会也已成立，以加强财团完成该项目的能力，并利用可开发的产出完成该项目。在项目期间，将在定子和转子制造方面进行创新，以克服与材料成本和生产周期相关的一些主要挑战。如果成功，这些创新将彻底改变永磁电机的制造方式。将对英国满足该设施供应链需求的能力进行深入分析，并找出任何差距。总之，项目演示将评估以下内容：*基于英国的强大供应链。*市场技术和商业需求。*运营模式，包括员工人数、基础设施和设施管理费用。*为转子和定子组件开发两个关键制造工艺，与传统工艺相比，提供了一种颠覆性的方法。*设施的虚拟模型，包括生产线，以模拟Takt时间，布局，并为业务案例提供有价值的投资数据。

As the Automotive sector rapidly moves towards electrification, barriers to OEMs and tier 1s investing into e-machine manufacturing capability include not only concerns over market adoption rates but also the significant funds required to build the capability. This project DEMO (Developing E-machine manufacturing in Make-like facility for OEMs) aims to overcome these barriers.**The motivation** for DEMO is to overcome these challenges through creating a disruptive business model that offers the following:* A readymade facility for customers to produce their e-machine designs during the early phases / years of a product launch, built upon a robust UK based supply chain.* The opportunity to purchase a turnkey assembly line to house in their own facility once the volumes increase.Electrified Automation are the project lead with Horizon Instruments as a project partner. Horizon are an expert in the supply of innovative automation solutions and are Electrified's machine building partner. DEMO steering committee consisting of potential suppliers and customers of the facility has also been formed to strengthen the consortiums ability to complete the project with exploitable outputs.Innovation in both stator and rotor manufacturing will be created during the project to overcome some of the main challenges related to material cost and production takt times. If successful, these innovations will revolutionise the way in which permanent magnet e-machines are manufactured.An in depth analysis of the UKs ability to service the supply chain needs of the facility will be conducted and any gaps identified.In summary, project DEMO will evaluate the following:* A robust UK based Supply chain.* Market requirements both technically and commercially.* Operating model to include items such as headcount, infrastructure and overhead for the facility.* Development of two key manufacturing process for the rotor and stator assemblies providing a disruptive approach when compared to traditional processes.* Virtual model of the facility including the manufacturing line to simulate takt times, layouts and provide valuable data on investment for the business case.
