Removing barriers for OEMs through Automated Manufacturing (ROAM)

随着汽车行业迅速向电气化方向发展，OEM和一级企业投资电动机制造能力的障碍不仅包括对市场采用率的担忧，还包括建立能力所需的大量资金。这个项目DEMO（为OEM开发类似制造的设备的电子机械制造）旨在克服这些障碍。** DEMO的动机 ** 是通过创建一个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器设计，建立在一个强大的英国供应链上。一旦产量增加，有机会购买一条交钥匙装配线，并将其安装在自己的工厂中。电气化自动化是该项目的领导者，地平线仪器是该项目的合作伙伴。Horizon是提供创新自动化解决方案的专家，也是Electrified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DEMO指导委员会也已成立，以加强财团完成项目的能力，并提供可开发的产出。在项目期间，定子和转子制造方面的创新将被创造，以克服与材料成本和生产节拍时间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。将对英国满足工厂供应链需求的能力进行深入分析，并确定任何差距。总之，项目DEMO将评估以下内容：* 强大的英国供应链。*技术和商业上的市场需求。运营模式包括设施的员工人数、基础设施和间接费用等项目。*开发了转子和定子组件的两个关键制造工艺，与传统工艺相比，提供了一种颠覆性的方法。*包括生产线在内的设施的虚拟模型，用于模拟节拍时间、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.
