Transcript
00:01
Are you ready to take on an exciting challenge and
00:04
make a lasting impact on the future of manufacturing?
00:08
Let's get started.
00:09
What will your approach be?
00:11
How will you
00:12
define and describe the problem you're solving
00:16
and implement automation to streamline workflows,
00:19
analyze the options available to you against requirements,
00:23
and validate that your solution works.
00:29
You work in a cutting edge manufacturing company,
00:32
where innovation and precision are the cornerstones of success.
00:36
In this dynamic environment,
00:37
you are faced with a thrilling challenge
00:39
that could redefine the future of manufacturing.
00:43
In a highly competitive industry that is experiencing a surge in demand for unique,
00:48
complex and highly customized low volume components,
00:52
the company has discovered that in order to stay competitive,
00:56
they must not only focus on cost but also on reducing lead times.
01:01
Industries such as performance motorsport and aerospace are
01:05
increasingly demanding rapid turnaround times and exceptional quality.
01:09
Determined to overcome this hurdle,
01:12
the company has been investigating how to reduce lead times
01:15
for CNC manufactured components to stay ahead of the competition.
01:20
The investigation exposed a critical gap
01:22
in their current manufacturing capabilities.
01:25
The company has identified the design and manufacturing of work holding to machine
01:30
intricate parts as a significant bottleneck with lead time stretching into weeks.
01:36
They have communicated this issue to you,
01:39
emphasizing the need for a swift and effective solution.
01:43
Your mission is to spearhead the development of a new workflow that leverages smart
01:48
design tools and additive manufacturing to streamline
01:51
the production of work holding components.
01:54
The first test of this innovative approach will be the creation
01:58
of a heavy duty gripper for an industrial robot arm.
02:02
This component is crucial for the company's operations and your success in this
02:07
project could pave the way for a new era of efficiency in manufacturing.
