WELCOMEMachine building is a competitive sector, one which is becoming increasingly globalised as the world embraces the concept of automation.Over the last couple of decades, the machine and equipment build industry has changed beyond recognition.

This change has been driven by both new technology and

increasingly complex end customer demands, however the

challenges the sector faces remain similar. The need to design and

innovate, find new products and stay ahead of your competition.

The need to have a responsive supply chain and to spend less

time purchasing components and more time designing & building.

And of course, identifying opportunities to manage costs without

compromising performance or reliability of the end product.

RS have been supplying the equipment build market for over half a

century. In that time, we’ve seen the creation and mass adoption of the

PLC, Ethernet move from the IT world into the industrial control panel and

the gradual replacement of the pushbutton by the multi-function HMI.

We want to be the first choice for automation designers, machine

builders and equipment makers and in this guide, we’ve

highlighted examples of brands, tools and services which

we believe can help you design & automate the future.

Regards,

Eileen Yap General Manager RS Components Singapore

Interview with Syed Suroor Anwar, Vice-President (APAC), Strategy and Commercial at RS ComponentsThe Impact of the Manufacturing Industry on the Environment

Syed Suroor Anwar Vice President - Strategy and Commercial (APAC)

Syed Suroor Anwar has vast international experiences in Asia, Europe, and North America, with key eCommerce and technology companies. At present, he is the Vice President for Strategy and Commercial for RS Components – the Asia Pacific. In his current capacity, he is responsible for formulating the go-to-market strategy for RS in the Asia Pacific and implementing that through managing the overall product and supplier offer on the website and sales enablement through digital, marketing, sales effectiveness, and customer experience.

Suroor has been with RS Components for more than 7 years in multiple leadership roles across the business. He has extensive work experience in P&L management, Transformation Sourcing, and Supply Chain with companies like SKF and Tata Motors in India where he was responsible for setting up greenfield projects and establishing their supply chain and vendor management functions.

In 2011, Suroor moved to Singapore to work with Applied Materials Inc. to formulate and drive the contract manufacturing strategy and supplier quality improvement before joining RS.

He is a mechanical engineer by qualification from the Indian Institute of Technology – Delhi. Suroor also holds a Six Sigma Master Black belt and Lean Master certifications. Suroor is also a fond writer and contributor to some of the pioneering works in Continuous Improvement books and forums.

RS Components’ local warehouse stocked with over 500,000 industrial and electronic products

2. What are the ways that RS Components has taken to assist the companies to lessen the manufacturing’simpact on the environment?

Our global environment, sustainability, and governance (ESG) plan helps keep us accountable and guides all aspects of the business, including ethical sourcing and engaging our suppliers and customers to reduce their carbon footprint and energy consumption. The transport of raw materials and parts used by manufacturers around the world contributes to emissions. Across the Asia Pacific, we’ve invested in distribution centers and local sourcing capabilities so that manufacturing customers can source locally and reduce their carbon footprint.

Holding local stock across a broad range of products also enables us to offer reliable product availability, fast delivery, and help customers to adhere to their maintenance and production schedule, which also impacts their overall efficiency. Our dedicated sales, technical, and sourcing staff play a key role in guiding clients to integrate sustainability in their supply chains. Our teams have the technical knowledge and access to an extended global product catalog to help customers choose compliant and energy efficient products such as LED bulbs and sensors.

This enables industrial customers to consume less energy and improve productivity levels in their plants and facilities. Lack of visibility in the supply chain leads to waste, delays, and higher costs. We provide procurement solutions to give customers more control and transparency in their supply chain through direct access to our product range and purchase information, managing spends and reducing errors with fast and secure invoicing. Customers can also save time and gain efficiencies by working with our sourcing team who will help source products not yet published on the website and consolidate purchase orders.

These solutions also help reduce waste in manufacturing by enabling procurement specialists to better plan their projects and maintenance engineers to stay on track with preventive maintenance schedules. Education and creating more awareness of energy-efficient technologies among our customers also play a big role. We host local conferences and webinars in partnership with suppliers to raise awareness about industry challenges and available solutions to help manufacturing customers stay on top of their productivity and sustainability goals. We also offer educational resources and insights on our Connected Thinking website.

We are not only a distributor of industrial and electronic products. We also simplify the procurement process and help engineers and procurement managers save time and costs through innovative solutions and services. This includes providing a range of energy efficient solutions and helping customers reduce their environmental footprint through responsible sourcing.

In APAC, we are present in 12 key markets with 5 local distribution centers. By holding local stock in these centers, we can provide fast and reliable delivery to our customers. We have local sales and account managers supporting key customers in different countries as well as dedicated teams providing end-to-end service from sourcing and technical support to customer service and aftersales support.

RS Components’ robust supply chain technologies

Manufacturing customers are looking for a strategic partner with the digital experience and distribution and logistics expertise to help unlock these business opportunities and environmental benefits for them. A strategic partner can help integrate sustainable approaches end to end, from the way manufacturers source their materials to how they can leverage sensing and automation solutions on the factory floor, and how they can recycle packaging materials.

4. What steps have manufacturers taken to reduce the amount of pollution they emit?

Globally, organizations also have their eye on leveraging emerging technologies like AI and IoT (Internet of Things) to accelerate progress in the Sustainable Development Goals, which include clean energy and strengthening infrastructure in countries. Through the scope of our work with industrial customers, we are supporting manufacturers in the drive to harness technology to optimize factory operations and we are also helping manufacturing firms to apply sustainable practices in their supply chain.

Previously, I mentioned the significant impact of local sourcing and stock availability in reducing the environmental footprint of manufacturers significantly. We also help clients meet sustainability and energy efficiency targets by sourcing from a wide range of sustainable products and solutions from ethical suppliers. This gives design and maintenance engineers reliable access to critical technologies, which they can then use to implement factory solutions that reduce their energy consumption and process waste, without compromising quality and productivity.

Examples include technologies for smart manufacturing such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and sensing solutions that can help practitioners reduce the energy they consume. Infrared sensors or thermal sensors, for example, enable plant managers and maintenance engineers to avoid equipment failure or downtime, by monitoring changes in temperature or vibration. This reduces downtime due to system failures or accidents and ensures parts and machines are replaced before they break down. These technologies give manufacturers the data needed to project maintenance schedules, plan resources to avoid overproduction, and save on costs and energy used.

3. Data by the World Bank suggests thatCO2 emissions in Malaysia frommanufacturing and construction are ataround 13% a few years ago. How farhave Malaysian manufacturers come sincethen?

The Malaysian manufacturing industry is a key contributor to economic development and adoption of innovative practices, which lead to more efficient and sustainable ways of operating. The challenge - and opportunity - for Malaysia is to shape their Industry 4.0 agenda to accelerate not only productivity and efficiency but sustainable development as well. Automation and IIOT technologies not only improve production methods but also reduce emissions and optimize energy use.

RS Components’ robust supply chain technologies

5. When it comes to repair and operations(MRO), how can practitioners carry out theirresponsibilities with less harm done to theenvironment?

Consumers continue to expect brands to live up to high ethical standards. MRO and procurement managers also need to consider how they can maintain a robust supply chain by having reliable sources and breadth of choices for their requirements, managing multiple relationships with trusted suppliers, on top of having technical knowledge and making sure things are running smoothly. To address this, practitioners must make sustainable and ethical procurement a key enabler of their business strategy.

The sourcing and buying process has a significant impact in reducing the manufacturing footprint and advancing the innovation or digital transformation in the organization. One way to carry this out is by having relationships with trusted suppliers who share the same values so that you don’t compromise the principles of your team. Transparency is also important, and this can be achieved by reporting on the company practices and helping customers understand how the business is progressing on its sustainability goals. For example, in RS, we include a sustainability update on our website and annual report.

Having a strategic MRO approach also ensures businesses source components from reliable suppliers who have similar green goals and meet international compliance and ethical standards. Responsible procurement will ensure that when innovations are adopted at the factory, employees are protected and plant equipment is maintained well.

Understanding the fundamentals of industrial control panel design can help !J OU ensure that !JOUr panel matches !J OUr specific needs and decreases the risk of costl!J mistakes during !J OUr project.

When designing a custom control panel, there are a number of keH aspects to consider to ensure !J OUr panel operates properl!J , is safe to use, and remains reliable.

Ever!;) facet of !JOUr production process, equipment, and plant environment must be carefull!J considered when designing an industrial control panel. This knowledge is necessarH when determining what t!;)pe of enclosure is needed, the available space to install the control panel, what the electrical requirements are, and what hardware and software components are needed to achieve !JOUr desired functionalit!J . While each custom control panel is tailored to a specific purpose and application, the majorit!;) of them have a similar overall blueprint.

RS Components have been helping designers S machine builders shape the future and below we highlight some

areas which we believe can help you automate the future.

Enclosure Type and Sizing

Determining the enclosure t!;)pe and size for !JOUr control panel is an important step in the design process. When choosing the enclosure t!;)pe, it is essentials to evaluate the environment that the panel will be located in. For example, a panel that will be exposed to corrosive substances will need a full!J sealed stainless-steel enclosure, while a panel that is installed in an area with high ambient temperature ma!J require a ventilation fan or air conditioner. Furthermore, a panel that is being mounted to a machine, pedestal, or on a wall will use a different st!Jle enclosure than a panel that will be free-standing.

Once the enclosure t!;)pe has been selected, the next step is to determine the right size based on the space required to install and wire the intended control panel components.

At RS we have the most extensive range of enclosures in all sty/yes and sizing needed for your project

• -RITTAL

_ ....

Power and Circuit Protection

Another crucial step in designing a control panel is determining

!JOUr power requirements. Conducting full-load calculations will help !JOU determine how man!J amps will need to be supplied to the panel. Based on the voltage of the power supplied b!J !JOUr facilit!;),

!JOU ma!J need to include a transformer in !JOUr panel to convert the voltage to 120V AC and/or a power suppl!;) to convert to 24V DC.

You will need to keep in mind the t!;)pes of equipment !JOu'II be operating. For example, if !JOUr panel will be controlling motors, !JOU ma!J need to include contactors, overload rela!JS, or motor starters to protect !JOUr motor from pulling too much electrical current and overheating.

Determining correct wire sizes to ensure deliver!;) of the required load current, as well as adding the necessar!J circuit protection are crucial aspects of the electrical design of !JOUr panel. Circuit protection components include circuit breakers, surge protectors, and fuses, and are essential for creating consistenc!J and preventing damage to !JOUr wires and components from excessive voltages or currents.

RS Stocks power supplies, control gear and switchgear S circuit protection hardware from the brands you trust.

Controls ComponentsAnother stage in creating a custom control panel is choosing the correct components and devices to achieve the control functionality you require. Simple control applications that only require the ability to turn something on or off based on an input signal can benefit from control components such as relays or timers.

More complex applications such as those requiring the ability to control a sequence of events may require a programmable logic controller (PLC), which is a microprocessor specially designed to operate in harsh industrial environments.

If you are controlling a motor, depending on the application, you may need a variable frequency drive (VFD), servo drive, or soft starter in your panel. A VFD is used in situations where you need to control motor speed. Alternatively, servo drives are used with servo motors and can control multi-axis movements. Finally, soft starters are used to gradually increase the voltage supplied to a motor during start-up to prevent a high rush of current and torque that can damage the motor and the equipment being driven.

Operator InterfacesThe control panel’s operator interface can take many different forms, including pushbuttons, switches, indicator lights, digital meters, or human-machine interface (HMI) display. Each of these interfaces can be used on their own or in conjunction with one another, depending on the level of functionality you need. The advantage of using an HMI in your design is the ability to combine all your pushbuttons, switches, and meters into one digital touch screen display.

Safety and RegulationsSafety is a top concern when designing a control panel. Implementing a disconnect switch to completely shut off power before performing maintenance or during an emergency is just one way to promote safety. Furthermore, using the lowest practical voltages, touch-safe components, and following NEC and UL regulations also helps make the control panel safer to use.

The main industrial control panel codes and standards include:

• UL 508A – Standard for Industrial Control Panels intended forgeneral use.

• UL 698A – “Standard for Industrial Control Panels Relating toHazardous (Classified) Locations.”

• NFPA 70 – “Standard for safe installation of electrical wiringand equipment.”

• NFPA 79 – “Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery toprotect operators, equipment, facilities, and work-in-progressfrom fire and electrical hazards.”

Control Panel MaintenanceOnce your custom control panel has been designed, built, and installed, it is important to perform continued maintenance to ensure safety and reliability. Simple maintenance practices that can prolong the life of your control panel;

• Keeping pests away from panel wiring and out of theenclosure.

• Regularly clearing out dust build-up. Be careful not tovacuum near circuit boards without following electrostaticdischarge (ESD) rules.

• Periodically checking terminal connections to ensure theyremain properly tightened.

• Always keep the enclosure door closed.

• Contacting your systems integrator to perform anynecessary software updates.

VOLTAGE LEVEL AND STABILITYThough this reflects in part the high pThe first step in checking to see if voltage levels and stability are the culprits is to measure voltage levels of the branch circuits, phase-to-neutral, at the load side of the branch circuit breakers.

Note: For safety's sake, when making voltage measurements always keep a circuit breaker between you and the fault current ampacity of the feeders.

If voltage levels are low at the breaker, they'll be even lower at the receptacle. This could be caused by low tap settings at the transformer. Other likely culprits include

loose connections, long feeder runs, and overloaded transformers, which create excessively high source impedance (impedance from the load to the source). Source impedance and voltage drop are two sides of the same coin.

If intermittent voltage sags are suspected, start at the panel to isolate the cause of sags: Are the sags the result of loads on the same branch circuit or are they caused by loads elsewhere in the distribution system (including utility-generated sags)? We can start to isolate the source of the sag with a multi channel recording instrument, such as a Fluke power quality analyzer, that can trend voltage and current simultaneously.

UPSTREAM, DOWNSTREAM ~What information are you looking for from the trendplots?

If a voltage sag occurs simultaneously with a current surge, the sag was caused by a load on the branch circuit (Figure 2). In other words, the cause of the sag was downstream of the measurement point and therefore can be thought of as

Power Quality at the Service PanelVoltage sags, tripping breakers, overheated electrical panels, and excessive voltage levels are all indications of possible trouble in an electrical distribution system. It is helpful to understand that these symptoms are telling us something is wrong with the power system. But where oh where do you begin the search to isolate the exact cause of these power quality problems?

Just like cars have a single connection point to monitor vital functions, the electrical system has a similar connection point: the electrical service panel. As a common point for branch circuit distribution, the service panel is also a convenient place to take the pulse of your electrical system.

A number of problems can be located right in the service panel itself. For problems elsewhere in the system, measurements at the service panel can tell you where to look next. Some problems can be caught by a quick visual inspection, while others require that measurements be taken.

FINDING THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM~Depending on the voltage and measurement requirements, you can use a variety of tools for power quality troubleshooting, from digital multimeters to handheld single and three phase power quality analyzers that perform many calculations automatically.

a load-related disturbance.

If, on the other hand, the voltage sag coincides with a very small change in current, the sag was likely caused by something upstream of the measurement point and can be thought of as a sourcerelated disturbance. Typical source-related disturbances are heavily loaded three-phase motors started across-the-line or sags originating on the utility feed. If the sag is deep and approaches an outage, the cause is more likely to be the utility. The event probably reflects a fault and breaker trip followed by automatic breaker reclosure.

CURRENT BALANCE AND LOADING ~To check current balance and loading, measure each feeder phase as well as current on each branch circuit. When making these measurements, it is critically important to use a true-rms clamp or true-rms digital multimeter (DMM) with a clamp-on accessory. An average responding clamp-on meter will not provide an accurate measurement as the combination of fundamental and harmonic current makes this a distorted waveform. A lower-cost average-sensing meter will tend to read low, which would lead you to assume that the circuits are more lightly loaded than they actually are.

HARMONICS ~To check for the presence and level of harmonics, measure current on the feeder neutral. This will typically be in the 80 to 130 percent range of the feeder current, due to the fact that the third harmonic will add up in the neutral. Figure 5a shows some readings that were made in an office, at a lightly loaded panel. These waveforms were captured with a single phase power quality analyzer. Note that the neutral current (Figure 5b) is far in excess of what would be expected from unbalanced currents alone.

Although most of us are increasingly aware of the fact that third harmonic currents (also called triplen or zero sequence) generated by non-linear, singlephase loads add up in the neutral, we often wonder why.

GROUNDING~Neutral ground bonds in subpanels are a violation of the NEC as well as of power quality performance wiring, but they are also quite common. Neutral ground bonds should be made at the transformer (although the NEC permits it to be made at the main panel). In any case, it should never be made downstream of the main panel, whether at a subpanel or a receptacle. When a neutral ground bond is made at a subpanel or receptacle, the ground path becomes a parallel return path for normal load current

Connecting Dots: Disruptions in Machine Building

Article by

Internal Sales Team Lead RS Components

What did you want to be when you were young?

"I wanted to build machines...& it never changed. But what’s changed & constantly changing my mate…..are the ways we build & offer it I reckon” - Tim replied (my customer & Procurement Manager of a reputed OEM).

I hardly remember mine - but one of the parts I loosely connect with his notion is possibly the drive- to build, to grow & make a difference. The other being my typical extra-inquisitive mind hunting out what exactly is changing in this $2.5 trillion machinery industry & its impacts in our habitat. Backed by strong references & 'surface-research', here is what I aligned with in terms of biggest disruptions in the market.

The big ones in industrial machinery specially in context of next decade are solution selling, digitization & sustainability factor. According to a BCG publication (2020), these are also the 3 factors that will affect the OEMs’ strategies- big time.

Solutions-selling

Companies into Australian industrial machinery markets have taken this path for decades now focusing on aftermarket services- providing product and technical support to enhance customer experience. Besides recurring in nature with add-on margins, they contribute to the growth and reduce the cyclicality of many machinery building businesses. These also allow differentiated brand positioning through something other than product price and facilitate stickier customer interactions.

Solutions happen when industrial machinery companies offer something that directly affects customers’ bottom lines, often by inserting themselves into some aspect of a customer’s operations or processes. Great examples of these can be seen in inventory management and procurement solutions that leading global distributors like RS Components have specialised on. By seamless integration of procurement systems of the company & client’s portals, placing automatic orders with self-discounted facilities, OEMs can ensure customers have maintenance parts replaced as soon as they are needed. Minimizing machine downtime is another solution OEMs can provide- by remotely monitoring machines and finding the best time to perform repairs catering to the client’s project schedule. This signifies an evolution of many OEMs’

value propositions: from providing great products and repair parts to enabling business productivity through optimized machine performance and the elimination of unplanned down-time. Customers have embraced the shift from inputs to outcomes, and the solutions trend appears certain to accelerate.

The solutions mindset is clear in the aerospace industry. Aircraft engine manufacturers shifted their value proposition from selling aftermarket parts and labour to a performance-based contracting scheme. Commercial airlines don’t always compensate manufacturers like General Electric or Rolls-Royce for parts and labour anymore. Sometimes the payment is for product availability, which is measured by hours flown.

The Digitization of Assets

There are many examples of how digital technology and more accessible data are revolutionizing the machine-building industry. In harsh environments where workers are difficult to recruit, digital technology can allow assets to be run remotely. In quarries, digital can help managers optimize their work sites, coordinating the activities of dozens of machines to improve throughput and

reduce idle time. With real-time monitoring of asset health & its potential to identify potential failures early on when they are cheaper to fix and before they result in unplanned downtime.

The integration of digital technologies is not an inborn capability of industrial- machinery OEMs, which have their roots in mechanical engineering, not digital technology. The challenge that OEMs confront is multipronged relating both to different kinds of both hardware and software technology and to the ecosystem of players with varied backgrounds and strengths. OEMs also face participation decisions: who to partner with and what to buy versus build. Caterpillar is among the OEMs that have moved aggressively into the digital space with a set of fleet management applications for tracking construction equipment. At the same time, several high-profile digital start-ups, with no physical machine products of their own, have entered the market. One, Samsara, offers digital solutions aimed at on- and off-highway truck fleet managers, with dispatching and monitoring functionality. Another, Built Robotics, has attracted attention by adding autonomous capabilities to construction equipment.

The Green Factor

The third important trend in industrial machinery involves sustainability. The pressure to reduce pollution and the effects of climate change is coming from multiple sources: the public, government regulators, and investors.

In the government realm, the commitment has varied from country to country, but it’s hard to imagine that things won’t turn—sooner or later—permanently in the direction of tighter environmental stand global localities, concerned about particulates, air quality, and noise, have introduced regulations to discourage specific equipment on construction sites. This is affecting decisions about the equipment used on new building developments in places like Paris, on road repairs in Stockholm, and at landfills in Los Angeles.

From an investor's perspective, it is one of the biggest boxes to tick too. BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has started to take voting action against companies that don’t have sufficient carbon reduction plans in place—and other big investors have followed suit. Companies that pay the most attention to emissions and other aspects of total societal impact now trade at a premium to those that pay less attention, according to BCG analysis.

An important thing to keep an eye on is the availability of technologies (including many machines and components) that contribute to greener business practices. In many sectors, these technologies are already economically competitive, with no subsidy or government action. This is true, for instance, of solar panels versus coal for power generation. In the case of other technologies, like battery storage in higher-power-output applications, the moment of economic viability is coming.

The push for greener machine technologies will accelerate if carbon prices go up, carbon border taxes are imposed, or governments subsidize the technologies’ development—all of which are possibilities. The good news is that sustainability is not all about playing defence. For OEMs with an ability to innovate, the regulations relating to sustainability create opportunities that did not previously exist.

The three accelerating and interconnected trends—the evolution from products to solutions, the rapid adoption of digital technology, and the sustainability imperative—will fundamentally transform the $2.5 trillion industrial-machinery sector over the next decade. These trends will shape the path to value creation for those most willing to rethink their current business models and will pose an existential threat to any companies that remain complacent.
