Roseview&#8217;s investment included the purchase of new quad-welders, CNC cleaners and a new saw centre enabling the company to manufacture a greater number of their REHAU Heritage, Eurocell and Plastmo vertical sliding sash windows. To accommodate the new machinery, Roseview re-arranged the existing equipment in their dedicated 30,000 sq ft factory in Olney, Buckinghamshire. Managing director Willie Kerr comments on the news: &#8220;Demand for our unique brand of sash windows has increased significantly over the past year thanks to the burgeoning PVC-u VS market and we have responded by making a £100,000 investment. The new quad-welders and CNC cleaners will allow us to manufacture much higher volumes and continue to provide fast turnaround as our customer base expands.&#8221;<br />
The investment in new machinery is the latest development in what has been a very successful year for Roseview Windows. Despite difficult market conditions, Roseview grew by an impressive 150%. The company also became the first fabricator in the UK to incorporate a run-through sash horn on all three of their vertical sliding sash windows &#8211; a feature that has been particularly well received in the heritage sector. &#8220;2011 has been an immensely successful year and we are looking forward to continuing our growth into 2012,&#8221; Willie concludes.<br />

The company monitors customer satisfaction through an independent survey and results show an improving picture with Barloworld providing one of the highest satisfaction levels in the industry. The company puts much of its success down to the technologies applied throughout its business processes and the people using them.</p>
<p>Service vehicle tracking<br />
Vehicle tracking using global positioning (GPS) technology is now used to manage Barloworld&#8217;s 450 service vehicles throughout the UK with live tracking over the web. Service despatchers can see the exact location of service vans across the country and assign the best engineer according to location, availability, parts stock and skills required. Routes and schedules are optimised helping to reduce mileage and response time.</p>
<p>Live van stock reporting<br />
Barloworld has combined vehicle tracking with real-time van stock reporting so that engineers despatched to a job are well equipped to facilitate a repair. &#8220;The aim is to provide the most effective response to resolving a truck breakdown&#8221; says Ian Roberts. Barloworld provides a maximum 4hour response time during normal working hours. However, average response times are only 2.5hours. Barloworld&#8217;s service vans are stocked with the most commonly needed parts required by local industry so the vast majority of repairs can be completed on first visit. PDA parts ordering If a repair requires any additional part, technicians will place an order through their PDA (Palmtop computer) to Barloworld&#8217;s National Parts Centre in Birmingham. The parts centre offers 97% off-the-shelf parts availability for all types and brands of lift truck. Any order received before 5.30pm is despatched overnight directly to the technician&#8217;s service van or customer&#8217;s own premises. Although Barloworld is the UK distribution partner for Hyster approximately 50% of the makes it maintains are competitive brands.<br />
&#8220;Thanks to the parts ordering system, Barloworld engineers can start the day ready stocked with the parts needed to complete almost any repair,&#8221; says Ian Roberts</p>
<p>Web based forklift fleet management<br />
Barloworld&#8217;s unique fleet management system also uses internet technology. The system incorporates a telemetry device fitted to fork trucks and other equipment which transmits performance data to Barloworld. Live performance reports are then made available 24/7 for customers to download through a dedicated web portal. Uniquely, the system integrates with Barloworld&#8217;s SAP service management system which records running hours, service completions, costs and performance data alongside the service history and site specific information for every piece of equipment in a fleet. Access to this up-to-the-minute information enables Barloworld to optimise servicing according to customer application needs, helping to reduce fleet downtime and potential repair costs. Additionally, service personnel can react more intelligently to service requests and provide a more efficient response.</p>
<p>Driver efficiency and impact detection<br />
Web based fleet management also enables Barloworld to provide a continuous analysis of driver efficiency and damage across customer fleets. PIN access control can be installed on each truck to prevent unauthorised use. Data is gathered including uptime, running hours and any impacts over a set level of severity and can then be used to review the performance of each driver, target damage reduction and identify further training needs. &#8220;It is clear from customer research that our investment in people, technology and efficient processes is helping to deliver real value to our customers with the opportunity for continuous improvement&#8221; adds Ian Roberts.</p>
<p>Barloworld has an unmatched capability to support multi-site operations and meet the varied requirements of larger fleet operators. Barloworld&#8217;s range of services includes planned maintenance, battery management, short term hire, driver training, 3D warehouse simulation and other intelligent services to help customers get more performance, availability and cost efficiency from their materials handling fleets.</p>

Szentgotthrd, Hungary &#8211; To better serve an expanding global customer-base, Allison Transmission announced plans a year ago to construct a multimillion dollar Allison Customer Experience Center (ACE) and Demonstration and Drive Track adjacent to its new state-of-the-art transmission manufacturing facility located in Szentgotthrd, Hungary. This month, the company invited commercial truck and bus OEMs, Allison customers, Hungarian officials and the media to drive trucks, buses and off-road vehicles equipped with Allison automatic transmissions on a variety of new Drive Track road courses.</p>
<p>Allison currently operates commercial vehicle demonstration and drive centers in the United States and Sweden, where thousands of commercial vehicle operators and original equipment manufacturers experience the features and benefits of Allison fully automatic transmissions. The Allison drive centers typically have a varied vehicle inventory including dump trucks, distribution vehicles, concrete mixers, heavy-haulers, fire trucks, buses and other commercial vehicles.</p>
<p>Lawrence Love, Allison Transmission&#8217;s Executive Director of International Marketing, said, &#8220;The success we have with potential customers and OEMs who visit our North American Customer Demonstration Center in Indianapolis is remarkable. It&#8217;s an educational process. Customers learn about transmission technology and evaluate the benefits of an Allison through personal experience by closed course test-driving.&#8221; Love went on to say, &#8220;Compared side-by-side with other commercial vehicle transmission solutions, we are able to demonstrate how Allison fully automatic transmissions provide superior performance, efficiency and drivability.&#8221; This learning experience is valued by the company&#8217;s customers and forms a meaningful part of their buying decision.</p>
<p>A hundred years ago, James A. Allison was one of four original founders of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS), home of the Indy 500. He built the IMS track to test and demonstrate the newest automotive technologies of the day. Today, Allison Transmission applies that same tradition to present day commercial trucks and buses and believes Mr. Allison would be proud of the design of the Szentgotthrd, Hungary, Demonstration and Drive Track.</p>

<p>LONDON – 6 September 2011 – The European vacuum pumps market is anticipated to witness growth, fuelled by high-tech applications for vacuum technologies and the rising awareness of the benefits of using vacuum systems.</p>
<p>New analysis from Frost &amp; Sullivan (http://www.industrialautomation.frost.com), Strategic Analysis of the European Vacuum Pumps Market, finds that the market earned revenues of €405.2 million in 2010 and estimates this to reach €750.1 million in 2017. The following application areas are covered in this research: process industry, semiconductor, coating technology, solar, analytics and R&amp;D.</p>
<p>“The semiconductor industry, although affected by the economic crisis, remains the largest segment for vacuum pumps and accounted for just over 20% of the market in 2010,” notes Frost &amp; Sullivan Research Associate Rajita Sahitya. “While its share is likely to decrease over the long-term, there will continue to be rising demand from high-tech sectors such as LED.”</p>
<p>There is also an increasing need for high vacuum quality and energy efficiency to reduce operational costs. Industry is moving towards efficient pumps to meet commercial and legislative requirements to preserve the environment. Suppliers will therefore benefit from the increased sale of energy-efficient vacuum pumps in the long term.</p>
<p>“Such trends will drive the adoption of dry vacuum pumps, with government policies and regulations on safety and health concerns also encouraging their use across Europe,” says Rajita. “These pumps are known to offer high quality and reliability and incur low maintenance costs.”</p>
<p>In addition, as an increasing number of end users become aware of the benefits of using dry vacuum pumps in their applications, the market is expected to expand as a result of new sales. The demand for clean and dry vacuum is supporting the increased use of dry vacuum pumps; a growing number of manufacturers are investing in more efficient dry vacuum pump designs as they strive to minimise any risk of oil contamination in end users’ processes and/or products.</p>
<p>On the other hand, a number of end-user industries have started to move their manufacturing facilities outside Europe, to countries such as China and India, where there are less strict environmental regulations and flexible regulatory requirements. These regulations support lower overheads, enabling companies to price their products competitively. As a result, the overall growth potential of the European market has been impacted, which presents a challenge to all market participants.</p>
<p>“Promisingly, however, Central and Eastern Europe is expected to be a growth pocket,” remarks Rajita. “Manufacturing bases in the chemical processing and water and effluent treatment sectors are shifting to the region, and offer good potential for market growth.”</p>

<p>A small bending radius is easier to produce than a big one. A world turned upside down? The supplier of solutions transfluid exceeds the possibilities of conventional processes in the development of a new tube bending technology. Usually, bending radii can rarely be assembled smaller than 1 x D with higher tube diameters. transfluid has just designed an efficient process with a sophisticated bending radius of 0.8 x D for high-grade steel tubes. The transfluid Maschinenbau GmbH will be presenting more new, advanced solutions at the EMO Hannover 2011 from September 19 to 24.</p>
<p>Efficiency and at the same time high-quality results are factors in the tube processing sector that are crucial for success. Regarding this matter, the bending standard is far from it: For tube clamping in conventional single bend bending processes clamping lengths are required that have to be cut after bending. A transfluid customer was looking for a solution without cutting after bending with regard to this unnecessary loss of material. The challenge was the development of a tube bending machine for single high-grade steel bends with 70 x 2 mm. Furthermore, a center bending radius of 0.8 x D, the avoidance of a bend exit ovalization and a reduction of the wall thickness of less than 3 per cent had been desired.</p>
<p>“With conventional processes such requirements cannot be realized, especially with those high-grade steel tubes. Our solution is a procedure that does not point the bends after the rotary draw bending process but presses them”, explains transfluid CEO Gerd Nöker the new development. With their pipe bending machine the german specialists guarantee a reduction of the wall thickness of 0 per cent. This at the same time offers the advantage of additional material saving. Also, an ovalization of the bend exit can be avoided with the transfluid pipe bending process. “A cutting of overlenght of the components can be completely avoided. They can be locked in further processes immediately after production. If required, the next steps for further tube processing can be assembled in the same machine”, emphasizes Nöker the efficiency of the transfluid technology.</p>
<p>Tool-related bending angles between 10° and 180° are possible. If appropriate cutting lengths are locked in the process a cycle time of 3.5 seconds is possible even with tube sizes like in the example mentioned above.<br />
“What we can do best is realizing an idea beyond standards. That is why we have made possible not only a solution with an impressive bending radius but also designed an extraordinarily efficient complete process. Considering the mere machine investment it is clearly below the investment for a CNC tube bending machine with multiple tooling that is usually deployed for such sophisticated tube processing”, Gerd Nöker concludes.<br />
Visitors of the EMO Hannover can experience the solutions of the global player in hall 14, stand B 45. For various requirements transfluid will be presenting the solution for tubes.</p>
