Industrialisation of Magtec Motor Production for OEM Volume Demand

该合作研发项目将展示牵引电机生产技术的发展。这将使Magnetic Systems Technology（Magtec）生产的电动机的生产规模扩大，Magtec是英国领先的商用车供应商。Magtec的电气化解决方案可以作为原始设备安装，也可以作为商用车（公共汽车/卡车等）车队的改装/再动力解决方案安装。该项目将直接解决这两个问题，提供所需数量的柴油动力解决方案的电力替代方案，并具有可证明的运营可靠性。该项目加速了Magtec的创新生产技术，其中电机制造试验线是重点领域。增长预测（项目完成后）代表了未来5年生产需求的数量级增长。这就需要加快创新和定制制造工艺和装配方法的开发和交付。由Magtec牵头的项目联盟包括四家领先的运输行业OEM- Dennis Eagle、Paneltex、Volta Trucks和Angel Trains。这些合作伙伴将支持该项目中开发的解决方案的需求定义和验证，确保制造流程和方法是可重复的和稳健的，从而为各自的市场提供可靠的产品。它包括两个高价值制造弹射器--谢菲尔德大学的制造技术中心（MTC）和先进制造研究中心（AMRC），其专业知识将集中在利用最创新的制造工艺和组装方法的开发活动。这将包括数据和信息系统的整合以及嵌入式质量保证方法，以确保整个过程的稳健性和可重复性。Magtec的大部分零部件和材料来自英国，其中很大一部分距离其谢菲尔德组装工厂很近。该项目将成为降低供应链风险的催化剂，主要是在该地区发展深厚的关系，以最大限度地提高英国的增值内容。预测的供应和生产需求带来了供应链复原力方面的挑战，这些挑战将通过该项目加以解决。随着合作伙伴在车辆层面转向电气化推进系统，并在价值流中转向自动化/半自动化流程，所有合作伙伴和更广泛的供应链内部的技能发展将成为核心。

This collaborative R&D project will demonstrate the development of production technologies for traction motor production. This will enable production scale-up of motors produced by Magnetic Systems Technology (Magtec), a leading UK supplier servicing the commercial vehicles market.Magtec's electrification solution can be fitted as original equipment or as a retrofit/repower solution for fleets of commercial vehicles (buses/trucks etc.). The project will directly address both issues by providing the electric alternatives to diesel power solutions, at required volumes, with demonstrable operational reliability.The project accelerates innovative production technologies at Magtec, with the motor manufacturing pilot line being the focus area. The forecast for growth (post project completion) represents an order of magnitude increase in production demand over the following 5 years. This is driving the need to accelerate the development and delivery of innovative and bespoke manufacturing processes and assembly methods.The project consortia led by Magtec includes four leading transport sector OEM's - Dennis Eagle, Paneltex, Volta Trucks and Angel Trains. These partners will support the definition of requirements and verification of the solutions developed within this project, ensuring the manufacturing processes and approach, are repeatable and robust, and therefore delivering reliable products to their respective markets.It includes two High Value Manufacturing Catapults -- the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) and the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) at the University of Sheffield, whose expertise will be focused on utilising the most innovative manufacturing process and assembly methods development activities. This will cover the integration of data and information systems and embedded quality assurance methods, to ensure robustness and repeatability throughout.Magtec sources most of its components and materials from the UK, with a large proportion of these within a short distance from its Sheffield assembly facility. The project will become a catalyst to reduce risk in the supply-chain proposition by developing deep relationships, predominantly in the region, to maximise the UK value-added content accordingly. Forecast supply and production requirements have created supply-chain resilience challenges, which shall be addressed through the project.Skills development within all partners and the wider supply-chain will be core, as partners move towards electrified propulsion systems at a vehicle level, and automated/semi-automated processes within the value stream.
