Despite the green shoots being spoken about regarding the economy there are certain problems which are cropping up. Among the Covid-19 deaths in India, which have reached almost 1.10 lakhs, almost half have occurred among the below-60 age group. Which means the country’s workforce has been significantly impacted. This means it will be an uphill task to get the economy back on rails and particularly, the manufacturing segment.

Drilling, milling and reaming all place enormous stress on tools. Here Jill Glynn, commercial services manager at Sandvik Coromant, explains how tool reconditioning can extend a tool’s lifespan — cost effectively and sustainably. The word ‘reconditioned’ can ignite visions of worn, overworked products that are inferior to brand new versions. The reality is, as long as you purchase from a reputable supplier, reconditioned tools will deliver the same consistent results as they did upon initial purchase. There are, however, still some misconceptions around reconditioned tools. Reconditioning not equal to repair Firstly, reconditioning isn’t equal to repair. When repairing a piece…

With Indian economy moving towards total unlock, the Indian automotive sector is strongly accelerating towards a promising direction. As recorded in September, a 20 percent month-on-month uptick was seen in domestic sales of automobiles (excluding commercial vehicles) as greater need for health, safety and security is prompting people to buy passenger automobiles and rely less on public transportation. The rising demand for personal mobility has also contributed to growth in fuel sales especially petrol and diesel, which is now expected to return to pre-COVID levels by the end of current financial year. A modest year-on-year increase in GST collections of…

Most manufacturers that work with metal have some form of experience with aluminum — one of the most popular metals for fabrication. Aluminum’s resistance to corrosion, high conductivity and top strength-to-weight ratio — along with the material’s ease of recyclability — means the metal has found a home in a wide range of industrial and manufacturing applications. Despite aluminum’s popularity and versatility, however, it’s not always easy to work with. Welding this metal is often challenging, and its chemical composition means it tends to break up under stress. Fortunately, the right practices can make aluminum much easier to manage. These…

The world is going through an unprecedented time. While on one hand there is very perceptible fear of pandemic and its implications on health, there is a serious threat for getting the economy running unabated. Many of the service industries (especially in IT and ITES) have been able to successfully navigate through this crisis by opting for remote working, work from home and so on. But this is just not feasible for high labour-intensive manufacturing industry. By very nature of the industry, the critical links for factory operations must be physically available in factory. Repeated lockdowns, high level of absenteeism…
