One of the most important factors that can help one to understand the
development of the material handling sector is by mapping its growth over
the years. The size of the Indian MHE industry is estimated around Rs 5,000
crore and is likely to grow at 20% year-on-year over the next five years, in
keeping with overall economic growth (Source: Project Monitor 2009). The
reason of this growth is driversdomestic production and foreign trade.
Since MHE is closely associated to the countrys imports and exports, its
importance to the logistics industry cannot be denied. The report titled World
Material Handling Products states that the global demand for material
handling products will grow 5 percent annually by 2012 (Source: Freedonia
Market Research ACM). It also predicts that growth in the nondurable goods
sectors will outpace the large durable goods manufacturing market, and that
advanced/ automated products will grow the fastest.
The demand for material handling equipment will continue to grow in:
Manufacturing, Logistics, warehousing, General Engineering related to power
plants, Metro or irrigation projects and Government sectors like the railways,
ordnance factories, armed forces etc. The Indian material handling
equipments industry is now poised for a healthy growth.
Trends in MH Industry
The general trend in the MHE industry is towards increasing automation,
enhancing productivity and maximizing safety. A lot of innovations are also
taking place to develop equipment specifically to one sub-sector of a
particular industry and in turn provide a highly customized solution for a very
niche requirement.
Technologies have progressed rapidly in the past decade. We see superior
control methodologies in terms of accuracy, repeatability and efficiency in
the market today. Advanced mechanisms and use of electrical sensors,
invertors help ensure safety while using these equipments.
As the production processes gets more evolved and with increased exposure
of the Indian industrialists to modern manufacturing techniques and global
best practices, there is a definite shift towards adoption of newer
technologies for industries as well. For example, the industrial cranes
industry in India was traditionally dominated by the old 1960s type Russian
crane design. However, companies like ElectroMech are at the forefront in
convincing people to dump the old technology and move towards the more
modern and contemporary crane technology that is prevalent in Western
Europe.
With the fast changing business landscapes clients today demand an MHE
model that yields a quicker ROI than ever before. Even companies who are
replacing or upgrading their existing range of material handling equipment
are inclined towards technology that is efficient, faster, safer and cost
effective.
Technology Solutions
One new exciting emerging area is the M2M communications space which
allows communications to happen between Machines. An example is the
solution being rolled out by ElectroMech wherein a crane installed in any
corner of the world can be monitored remotely at a centralized location
through GPRS & Internet links. The crane has a Black Box installed on it
which collates signals from various sensors that monitor the condition of
various components. This Black Box then transmits data to a centralized
server where it is analyzed for abnormalities. In case of an abnormal trend in
measurements emerging, an SMS or an email is sent out immediately to the
designated maintenance contact that then proceeds to look into the problem
before it gets out of hand and brings the equipment to a grinding halt. This
unique tool enables predictive maintenance and enhances productivity by
reducing possible downtime as well as maximizes safety by preventing
potentially hazardous failures.
Recession was a good teacher and has surfaced the criticality of supply chain
visibility. Manufacturing houses have realized that cost reduction can be
completely achieved only through a holistic approach. Today companies seek
technologies that connect with each other. This offers greater visibility,
information sharing and performance throughout the supply chain. This is
relevant to industries such as retail and pharmaceuticals where the uptime
and responsiveness are critical on the shop floor and warehouses. A real-time
status check of material in the shop floor also facilitates smart decision
making. Adjustments to schedules, manpower and other resources can be
made proactively instead of reactively. For us the best take-away is the fact
that these systems can be linked into existing technology.
Apart from advances in automation and controls, a lot of development is also
being made in ensuring that the products are environmentally-friendly
without sacrificing the cost competitiveness. An example is the distinct shift
taking place in several industries in eliminating hydraulics and moving
towards purely electrical drives. Hydraulic systems by their virtue are quite
inefficient in converting energy into useful work. Typically in a hydraulic
system an electrical motor first drives a power pack which then compresses
hydraulic fluid which in turn rotates hydraulic motors or presses hydraulic
cylinders. These systems were preferred due to their inherent compactness
and smooth operational features. However, with the advent of sophisticated
electrical controls through various sensors and inverter drives, it is possible
to achieve the same level of control and smoothness of operations using
electrical drives. The basic advantage of electrical drives is the higher
efficiency in converting energy into useful work by directly driving the motors
or actuators and the elimination of hydraulic fluids. The environment thus
benefits due to better usage of valuable energy as well as due to elimination
of problems caused by ruptured hydraulic hoses and the subsequent oil
spillages. An example of this trend can be effectively seen in case of Marine
Deck Cranes which are definitely moving away from the age old hydraulic
technology and embracing electrical drives.
Conclusion
As outlined before the trends and technological innovations are all pointing
towards equipment which will enhance productivity multifold on the shop
floor and in warehouses and at the same time enhance safety of the people
working with it and do so in an environmentally-friendly manner. The MHE
industry will soon see a lot of exciting new developments in the near future
and as always will help its customers to maximize their return on the
investments.
