The LAWS of Robotics

www.design-engineering.com

T

ypically, issues of Design Engineering are developed around a pair of broad themes that overlap in some way (e.g. automation and the automotive industry). Our September issue, however, which focuses on motion control and the Canadian Defence industry, always poses a problem. Normally, these topics have little in common and we struggle to find a story that blends the two elegantly.

This year, however, has been refreshingly, if somewhat disturbingly, different.

As our feature story on the Canadian military’s SIPES project illustrates, the Internet of Things concept – a high profile topic in automation circles – has also crept its way into military hardware.

Packed with all the electronics found in a high end smart phone (camera, potentiometer, gyroscope, GPS, data transmission, etc.) plus some other stuff they wouldn’t talk about, the SIPES prototype explores some potentially transformative ideas. Imagine an infantry armed with weapons that can tell HQ not only where each grunt is located, but where he’s headed, how fast he’s moving, if he’s firing and in what direction.

In addition, such a weapon could also receive data from command. Combining satellite imagery, drone flybys, thermal photography and plain old status reports (plus other stuff they won’t talk about) operations leaders could feed troops information that discerns combatants from bystanders and pinpoints enemy targets through an aiming sight/heads-up display. Taken one step further, it’s not hard to envision the weapon using that data, combined with it’s own sensor input and muzzle velocity, to calculate a firing solution. Pull the trigger and the gun doesn’t shoot until it’s aimed exactly right to hit the target.

Development of these next generation weapons is potentially beneficial and probably overdue given that the current U.S. and Canadian standard issue rifles, the Colt M-9 and C7 respectively, were both introduced decades ago. But just how smart these or any higher order weapon systems should be allowed to get is a question of increasing urgency as artificial intelligence (AI) draws eerily closer to passing the Turing test.

In 2014, Kitchener’s own Clearpath Robotics — makers of autonomous allterrain and waterborne robotic vehicles — became the first robotics firm to sign on with the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, an international coalition of NGOs working to ban fully autonomous weapons. At the time, it might have seemed premature and alarmist to warn against so-called Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS). Now, two short years later, it seems prescient.

Take, for example, US.-based AI development company Psibernetix Inc., who announced in June 2016, that it had created an artificial fighter pilot that consistently out performed seasoned “Top Gun” fly boys in high fidelity flight combat simulations. If a bit of fuzzy logic code can best human fighter pilots, how hard would it be to adapt that software to less demanding situations, like a tank, an aerial drone or any other military weapon?

In some ways, it’s comforting to imagine robotic combatants battling toward a bloodless victory. And barring an amendment to the Geneva Convention, the development of such autonomous weapons may be inevitable. Still, as the a few early adopters of the Tesla Model S autonomous driving mode found out the hard way this year, technology doesn’t absolve us from responsibility or culpability.

Ultimately, a human, the man in the loop, must exist if for no other reason than to bear the burden of war.

Canadian Olympic boxers train with the help of U of T punch tracker

A

s the 2016 Olympics kicked off in August, thousands of athletes from all over the globe landed in Rio de Janeiro ready to put their skills to the test on the international stage.

However, the Canadian and American Olympic boxing teams believe they have an advantage.

The teams have been training using wearable technology developed by a University of Toronto alumnus, Khalil Zahar. The mechanical engineering grad created a wrist-mounted device that tracks each punch, measuring both speed and intensity.

The device incorporates accelerometers and gyroscopes to gather data about hand movements, taking samples 1,000 times per second. Combining motion tracking and machine-learning technology, the device then calculates, in real-time, the speed of the punch, and even recognizes the type of punch thrown.

“I started boxing during my first year at U of T and I just fell in love with it,” says Zahar, who wanted to improve his skills.

However, he noticed there were few tools available to help him.

Traditionally, boxing coaches measure the number of punches thrown by simply counting them, sometimes with the help of a hand-held mechanical clicker.

Zahar began experimenting with off-the-shelf components with the goal of collecting more detailed information about each punch thrown. “With our device, you can differentiate each punch,” he says. “You can dig deeper into the data so that you can improve as a boxer, and you can measure endurance

in real-time in order to change your regimen as you go. It can even help in pinpointing an injury.”

Zahar knew that the only way he could make his vision a reality was to create his own company. In 2013, Hykso was launched in California. Zahar believes that the sky is the limit for this device and hopes to expand it use into other sports. www.utoronto.ca

PLM FOR SMES

Product Lifecycle Management designed for large enterprises rarely fits the needs of the SME. Here’s what to look for.

By Chuck Cimalore

D

esign innovation is vital to for any product development process, but that’s especially true for small and medium sized ($500M revenues or less) enterprise manufacturers (SMEs) as they look to compete against larger, more established organizations.

According to Frost and Sullivan, SME manufacturers, with even the smallest scale facilities, are using technology to bring new competitive products to market September | 2016

faster. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is a key driving part of this transformation.

“Smaller companies are increasingly using PLM,” says Joe Barkai, former Product Lifecycle Strategies Manufacturing Insights VP for IDC, “not only because they are required to do so by their customers, but also because PLM systems are becoming more flexible, accessible and easier to implement and use.” www.design-engineering.com

CADReport 15 According to Research and Markets’ recent 2015 report, the global PLM market is playing a major role in helping SME manufacturers fuel the economy. And with that help, PLM developers have benefited with revenues of $40.26B in 2014. That number is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% to reach US $75.87B by 2022.

Much of that growth for both onpremises and cloud-based solutions, the Research and Markets report depicts, will be driven by demand from SMEs. The report shows that cloud-based PLM offers SME manufacturers more options to configure solutions to their specific business and engineering requirements. The rapidly growing need for product development based on systems engineering, emergence of product complexity, continued growth of manufacturing in emerging economies, and expanding adoption of a more holistic end-to-end PLM solution all contribute to the documented growth in the PLM market.

Design of the PLM System In the past, few PLM vendors focused on the SME market. Now, larger PLM players are realizing the opportunity and are trying to strip down their large, often-cumbersome enterprise PLM system to adapt to SME’s requirements. The only problem is these systems were not designed for this market.

Larger PLM systems were not architected with out-of-the box functionality.

As a consequence, these systems must be customized to meet the needs of the SME, which results in additional challenges including expensive consulting services and difficult upgrade paths. For an SME manufacturer, this lends all the more reason to be very selective when choosing the

right PLM solution for their business.

For SMEs choosing a new PLM system, it often makes the most sense to choose software that has been developed from the start to address their specific needs – thereby avoiding any configuration and implementation issues.

Additionally, small and medium scale product manufacturers are leveraging the digital transformation, which has been accelerated by such breakthroughs in technologies as cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT) and analytics. These types of technologies are fostering enhancements in both CAD and PLM solutions.

For instance, a great example of a breakthrough that has helped change the playing field can be seen with cloud computing.

“Approximately 78% of U.S. small businesses will have fully adopted cloud computing by 2020,” says Louis Columbus, VP of marketing at iBASEt. “This more than doubles the current 37% in 2015.”

Cloud usage is particularly valuable to SME manufacturers in North America that have small IT departments and may be overwhelmed with keeping their systems up and running. For these SMEs, cloud-based delivery of updates and enhancements along with subscriptionbased pricing models makes budgeting for PLM services favorable and much more manageable.

Due to SMEs adapting rapidly to these new technologies, they are better able to redefine their industrial processes, and selectively choose which features and functionality are really needed for streamlining their product engineering and design processes.

For instance, SME manufacturers have

16 CADReport become smart in how they are prioritizing their requirements.

They want an intuitive graphical user interface to facilitate complete user adoption. They also look for highly configurable functionality to meet their current and future application needs – not only in potentially growing the number of users but also scaling up application size and features – and they want all this without the need for consulting.

PLM Features The primary difference between selecting a PLM supplier that has designed their system specifically for SMEs vs. a PLM supplier that has developed their system for large manufacturers usually has to do with the characteristics of the features and functionality supplied. PLM systems designed for smaller companies tend to focus deeply on providing functionality that will have more bearing on optimizing a SME manufacturer’s design process rather than requiring customization and consulting efforts to get the functionality they need.

Bill of Material (BOM) management, for example, is very important to the SME and a key component of the product definition. An inaccurate or incomplete BOM can cause lost weeks in a schedule and result in wasted production runs.

Investing in a solution to automate, streamline and control BOM management and ensure BOMs are always accurate tends to be a higher priority.

Generally, larger manufacturers are looking to implement an end-to-end solution set from design through manufacturing for automation and factory-floor operations. PLM providers serving large manufacturers have expanded their scope to include manufacturing operations and MES solutions.

In contrast, SME manufacturers tend to be more interested in having PLM help them manage increasing product complexity, outsource manufacturing partnerships and customer demand. They want to support better internal and external collaboration and improve relationships with suppliers.

It is about focusing on the right capabilities such as functionality to accelerate product cycle times, reduce data errors, production delays and associated costs. It is all about implementing a PLM system that improves visibility and planning and can manage by exception, if needed, all while ensuring product quality and regulatory compliance (RoHS, REACH, FDA, FAA, Quality Systems).

Other key characteristics that have proven important in shortening product development cycles come in the form of capabilities to manage all product, project, quality and training records in a single environment – essentially the automation of typically manual processes while at the same time eliminating disparate data sources. By selecting the right system, SMEs can reduce product development costs by leveraging engineering with business-level data to support better design practices. It will help reduce late-stage scrap, potential re-work and data duplication.

Quality Management PLM solutions geared to SME requirements can help identify September | 2016

potential quality issues that may involve product data, engineering changes, documentation, CAPA (corrective and preventive action), supplier issues, customer complaints/returns, nonconformance, and training records information. SME manufacturers have the need to access quality data during design to help better identify trends and common issues and meet compliance guidelines.

A PLM system with integrated quality management provides SMEs with the ability to connect quality data to the product record, which helps to address quality issues early on during the design stage, adhere to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP/ CGMP) and regulatory compliance guidelines, and eliminate the need to purchase a separate quality system.

It also helps the SME to drive quality data back to engineering so engineering has access to the ‘voice of the customer’ to improve product design. Taking it a step further, PLM systems that also integrate Training Records management can help SMEs, particularly those in the medical device industry, properly track and manage training events, machine calibration and adhere to Quality Systems compliance.

Overcoming Challenges Despite the business challenges for SMEs with regard to resources constraints, specific pricing requirements and sustainability, SMEs are well recognized as innovators. Possessing a simpler management structure, SMEs are generally much more agile and nimble, which often lends to swift decision-making and substantially better responsiveness. These types of companies are more inclined to deliver higher and more personalized levels of customer service. They tend to value their customers more because they have had to fight harder to win them, and it affects their business more when they lose them.

With the ever-greater focus on innovation and time-to-market agility, the challenges that were once stumbling blocks for the largest manufacturers are now bearing down on SME manufacturers as they seek to optimize product development and engineering processes in an effort to gain a competitive edge.

Operational efficiencies improve with PLM because groups all across the value chain can work faster and more effectively through advanced information retrieval, electronic information sharing, comprehensive process and product auditing, the management of engineering change orders, bill of materials, and quality control. With all the functionality that is available, it is important to choose wisely.

When it comes to deciding which PLM solution will work best for your organization, it is always a good bet to choose a supplier that matches with the size of you as a manufacturer.

For example, the small manufacturer is within $50-$100M turnover, the medium manufacturer falls within $100-500M and the large enterprise is everything greater than $500M. The smaller-to-medium sized PLM solution providers offer certain specialties and understand well the plight of SMEs. DE www.omnifysoft.com

INTO THE

DEEP Nanaimo-based SEAMOR Marine’s ROVs take underwater exploration to uncharted depths.

By Lindsay Luminoso

B

uilt by the Japanese navy in 1944, the Sen Toku I-400 series submarine, at 120 meters long, was the most massive of its day and one of the most militarily advanced. Designed to strike major U.S. targets like New York, each of the three behemoths built sported four 2,250 hp engines, enough fuel the circle the globe and three attack aircraft that could launch from a hanger on its top deck. Ultimately, the I-400 never saw service before the Allied Forces won the war. In the aftermath, the U.S. Navy scuttled many captured ships, including the last Sen Toku submarine, the I-402, off the Goto Islands.

Fast forward nearly 70 years to August 2015, when a team of researchers discovered the World War II submarine 190 meters below the surface of the East China Sea, with the help of a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) built by Canada’s SEAMOR Marine. For more than 25 years, the company has been designing and fabricating tethered robotic craft tasked with exploring deep-sea environments deemed too dangerous for human divers. Originally developed by Nanaimo robotic company Inuktun Services Ltd., the SEAMOR ROV became a stand-alone company in 2010.

Since then, the Nanaimo, B.C.-based firm’s equipment has helped discover a Soviet-era bomber lost in 1941, explore three historic shipwrecks off the coast of Sicily and stem a potential oil spill when two tug boats collided in the Strait of Georgia near Nanaimo. Of course, not all applications of SEAMOR’s ROVs are as adventurous. Most grow out of oil and gas and mineral exploration, but the company says the uses of its diminutive deep-sea divers are ever expanding.

“I think that there has been a lot of work done on ROVs from a single discipline perspective, be it mechanical or electrical or software,” says Chris Parker, lead engineer for SEAMOR Marine.

“What we really excel at is that we take a multi-disciplinary approach. We have assembled a really great team of designers and engineers. If you are going to push robotics into the harshest environments on the planet, you really need to take into account all of the different variables.”

Modularity One of those variables is application adaptability, Parker says.

Although there are many different sizes and classes of vehicles within the ROV market, SEAMOR has found their sweet spot with their Steelhead and Chinook line. Both are designed for underwater exploration, search and recovery and marine inspection, but the Steelhead ROV is rated for 300m depths while the Chinook ROV is rated for 600m depths.

Under the hood, however, the ROVs’ core electronics and sub-components are identical to allow for accessories to be added to the vehicle. This modular design not only ensures that spare parts are always available, but also allows SEAMOR to make their ROVs fit customer needs without expensive modifications.

“We developed this all-purpose workhorse vehicle in what we would call the inspection class,” Parker explains. “We are in the class size where, at most, you need two people to operate the ROV – one to deploy the tether and the other to operate the controls,” says Parker. “It’s as easy as placing the vehicle in the water and away it goes.”

“This makes sense on the engineering and business side of things,” adds Elaine Ho-Parker, marketing consultant for SEAMOR Marine. “It also makes things easier for the customer as they can always upgrade an existing vehicle.”

For example, the customer can begin with a basic twisted pair www.design-engineering.com

Parker explains that the vehicle doesn’t know what type of tether it is using because the ROVs incorporate a universal tether interface that is included in the two models. Because of this, for more enhanced capabilities, the system can be moved to a fiber optic tether, with the options of a longer of tether length, Ethernet, or HD video, without having to change the vehicle.

The SEAMOR ROV allows the user to observe the environment through a camera system as well as physically interacting with the environment through a number of accessories.

The SEAMOR Steelhead model can reach depths of up to 300m.

designed the mechanical aspects of the vehicle to save weight wherever they could.

“To the casual observer, the float actually feels like it shouldn’t float at all because it’s very heavy,” says Parker. “If you use just regular foam, it will compact down to a fraction of its size [under pressure]. The floats are made from syntactic foam, which is composed of glass microspheres in epoxy. It is very expensive, probably the single most expensive part of the vehicle. By making the frame and panels lighter, we are able to decrease the size of the float.”

Parker notes though, it is important that the motors run smoothly. When you are sealing at those depths, it is not just how good the seal is, but you also need to make sure that you are not having any

unnecessary vibrations, which can cause the seals to misalign. He also points out that in underwater applications, the thrusters don’t need to spin as fast as in an aerial application, so many of the advantages of brushless motors don’t materialize.

this system stand out. It was important for the team to develop a system that was robust and resilient to failure due to the harshness of the sub-sea environment.

Ensuring that failures are easily identifiable was a significant design feature.

In the case of a failure, all the operator has to do is take off the cover, and the electronic system has indicator lights to show how the functionalities are operating in real time. This allows the user to diagnose problems on-site and plan accordingly.

“We have triple redundancy designed everything,” Parker adds. “The power electronics that control the thrusters, if there are any faults, they automatically shut down. There is no risk of short circuits or damage of the vehicle.”

Next-Gen ROVs As for future vehicles, SEAMOR is still in the design phase and is exploring the idea of full autonomy. Dealing with highly sophisticated underwater infrastructure, a fully autonomous vehicle is not always the best solution.

However, having a semi-autonomous ROV with a human operator in the loop or standing by in one area the company is exploring. Parker notes that they are looking at “sliding autonomy” – the idea of human-robot collaboration, where a human operator can take control of an autonomous vehicle whenever necessary.

“There is a really big opportunity for ROVs to move into this field and this is something we are really exploring as we’ve redesigned our operator interface,” he says. “We are trying to build not just a vehicle that meets all of those needs but the accessories, support and documentation as well as aftermarket support to service the market as best we can.”

“Whatever we do with our nextgeneration product, it will be done with the same design philosophy,” he adds.

“It’s really just about looking at where the industry is going, what are the demands we can anticipate so that we can design a vehicle that is top of the line today and we’ve left all of the doors open to add all the features we see coming down the road.”

A collaboration between DRDC and Colt Canada, the SIPES tech demo weapon features increased firepower and advanced electronic capabilities not usually seen in traditional weapons.

CANADA’S “SMART”GUN

A CAD rendering of the design prototype.

Canadian military’s SIPES prototype integrates aim-assist and geolocation electronics into concept demo combat rifle.

By Lindsay Luminoso

I

n February 2015, Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC), the R&D branch of the Canadian military, caused a stir in defence circles when it released images of its latest weapon prototype – the Soldier Integrated Precision Effects Systems (SIPES) project. With its network connectivity, semiautomated targeting capabilities and video game-looking design, this “smart gun” was quickly dubbed by media outlets and gun enthusiasts alike as the “weapon of the future.”

It’s not hard to see why. Fashioned from metal and plastic 3D printed components and high strength steel, SIPES combines a light-weighted assault rifle with a grenade launcher or combat shotgun. More importantly, the sensor-laden prototype – a collaborative effort between DRDC, Colt Canada and Canadian Forces – represents a unique combination of electronics and mechanical components.

That union, designers say, gives SIPES the potential to acquire and share geolocation and other combat-related data with HQ, while also allowing soldiers to receive target data to help differentiate friend from foe and coordinate engagement. A headsup display in the weapon site could also display target distance, September | 2016

remaining ammunition and other relevant combat information.

For all the hype, though, in reality the SIPES program is more like a concept car at an auto show. It may look futuristic and feature all of the latest technologies in a working unit, but don’t expect to see one in production. Instead, the DRDC says the SIPES project is pure R&D, meant only to showcase advanced technologies and non-traditional capabilities that may eventually inform future generations of weapon development. “[SIPES] itself is not a development project,” explains Franklin Wong, an engineer at DRDC Valcartier. “It’s not like the army asked us to develop a new small arms weapon that someone would produce and give to the armed forces. This is what we call a technology demonstration project. The hypothesis is that if we started from scratch and worked on an integrated concept, we could include all the components we want up front.

We could then design the interfaces between the components to get something that is lighter weight and integrated.”

Gun Design 101 As with any weapon design, the first step in SIPES’s development was ammunition selection. To help achieve it’s lightweight design goal, the team rejected the 5.56x45mm cartridge used in current NATO small arms. Instead, they selected Cased Telescoped (CT) 5.56mm ammunition developed by AAI Corporation for the U.S. military’s Lightweight Small Arms Technologies (LSAT) program. www.design-engineering.com

26 DesignReview “AAI’s Case Technology enables the bullet to be much smaller and lighter,” explains Brenton Teed, Product Support Engineer, Colt Canada.

“Traditional bullets have a cartridge filled with gunpowder with the projectile The SIPES weapon’s crimped on the cartridge. It electro-optical sensor has a certain length, diameter assembly. and volume. The CT bullet is actually embedded in a polymer case, and unlike conventional ammunition, there is no extraction groove in the Colt Canada back, so to unload it…it had manufactured the to be pushed forward. This weapon components meant the chamber had to using casting and be open on both ends.” laser sintered 3D Another requirement the printing. team had to design around was the need for increased firepower – in this case, it was the addition of a grenade launcher that can stack up to three rounds at a time.

Developed by Metal Storm USA, this technology provides a distinct advantage over traditional grenade launchers that only house one grenade at a time.

“We wanted to give the soldier more fire power in something lighter weight,” explains Wong. “The rest of the weapon was designed around those two pieces of ammo.”

Once the ammunition was selected, the team was then able to explore lightweighting through material selection.

Because the barrel is the heaviest part of the rifle and its size and weight are determined by the ammunition, the engineers explored using different material for the barrel. One thing the team learned was that high strength steel is still the best material for an assault rifle barrel; modern engineered materials like composites simply can’t stand up to the intense heat and pressure produced when firing rounds rapidly.

Ultimately, the team opted for a bullpup-style weapon in which the gun’s action is located behind the trigger. According to Teed, this provides a shorter gun length for a given barrel length. In addition, SIPES’ 20-inch barrel provides optimal muzzle velocity while decreasing the gun’s overall weight.

“We knew it was a prototype, so it wasn’t going to work perfect the first time; we designed this with that in mind,” Teed says. “Dynamic simulation in MD ADAMS solved problems before the prototype was built. High speed video showed us the other problems on the prototype. The ammunition was radically different from what we normally work with, so we were surprised by how it behaved under dynamic loadings.”

September | 2016

The “Smart” in Smart Gun Aside from the hardware specifications, the project also required a level of electronic integration unusual for traditional weapons.

The team explored integrating a power/data rail, which is used to attach accessories like flashlights, infrared illuminators or electronic devices.

One of the great challenges, Wong says, is when accessories are added. They often come with their own battery systems, which can add weight and force soldiers to carry additional batteries. The advantage of the power/data rail is a single battery supply source feeds different accessories; this saves on weight and the logistics of running the weapon.

Colt Canada, under a separate effort, was developing its own rail system with centralized power, data, video and FCS control. The Colt rail was integrated into the SIPES weapon concept rather than retrofitting versions that were developed for other weapons.

The powered rail included a data bus, which allows for data from the weapon to be transferred elsewhere, either to another device or to an offsite location for higher-level processing. The rail also gave the team the opportunity to add sensors and determine how the data could be used for future iterations.

Since typical weapons don’t have a lot of electronics built into them, the team needed to find a way to successfully integrate both the electronic and mechanical components.

“We designed the right hand of the gun with mechanical features and the left hand of the gun had the electronics,” explains Teed.

“All the panels would come off and there is the wire harness or the mechanics depending on the side you were working on.” Because this was a technology demonstration, the team was able to design the weapon in this unique fashion – having the ability to take the gun apart, reassemble and access certain parts were key.

While integration is a good idea, Wong cautions that it requires a clear idea as to the requirement of the weapon. With the SIPES project, there were no target specifications so integration worked well. If the weapon needed to be used across a broad range of tasks, he says, the importance of flexibility and modularity may cause a decrease in integration abilities.

“You can’t get away from that,” Wong says. “In terms of informing our client, this is part of the process of deciding what their requirements are that we can bring to their attention. In essence, engineering is compromise.”

Hawe introduced its EV2S-CAN electronic amplifier, which can control all standard proportional solenoids. The amplifier is designed as a plug and can thus be slotted onto the solenoid. It is the classic amplifier for all standard input signals (e.g. 0…10VDC; 4 … 20mA, CAN bus). The two analogue inputs read in both the main control signals and also other process data. This means it is possible to set the target values and reposition the valve controls in line with the actual temperature, pressure values, position or speed precisely.

Using LEDs, plus an integrated display or with Bluetooth via a smartphone, the operating status can be monitored or errors reported locally. In addition, the direct connection to the CAN network and data processing in the plug releases the central machine control. www.hawe.com

Laval’s MMC Packaging ups machine performance with PC- and EtherCAT-based automation equipment.

W

hile the materials involved have changed dramatically over the years, bottles with closures can be counted among history’s first packaging types. For any bottled product today, quality and safety naturally hinge on properly sealed and lined bottle closures. For over two decades, MMC Packaging, based in Laval, Quebec, has supplied state-of-the-art, turnkey postmolding automation equipment to leading manufacturers of container caps and specialty closures.

With over 1,000 systems in the field worldwide, MMC Packaging is renowned for its work in cap lining machines (wadding machines), assembly machines, cap slitting machines, closing machines, vision systems and other custom automation equipment.

MMC Packaging machines handle caps after the plastic injection molding or metal forming processes. For example, a typical MMC lining machine cuts and inserts lining material into newly molded caps. This liner cutting and insertion process requires the execution of a series of events in a synchronized manner.

Different MMC lining machine types are designed to suit different cap sizes, and the number of “ups” on the machine (i.e. caps produced per index) determines the throughput. The LM 270, for example, is a 2-up machine that performs at 150 cycles per minute, but processes 300 parts per minute. MMC Packaging machines are well known for accommodating easy changeovers in less than 30 minutes and certain models can run several tooling types.

Outgrowing the PLC While continuing its mission to boost machine equipment quality, MMC Packaging found concerning limitations in the area of hardware PLCs. “The difficulties with a traditional PLC September | 2016

platform include limitations in processing speed, system memory, data storage and database capabilities, among other challenges,” explains Mathieu Ouellet, MMC Packaging’s VP of business and product development. “As MMC Packaging endeavored to modernize our systems, we needed more processing power and flexibility from our controller platform. This meant a change of control technology was in order.”

Ensuring perfect product quality requires top quality of the machine itself as well as the automation and controls components.

“The LM-270 is the best-selling machine from MMC Packaging and we must maintain the shortest lead times possible so we started the development of our new controls platform there,” explains MMC President and owner, Philippe McNally. “This latest lining machine generation leverages advanced PC-based control technology, industrial Ethernet technology and a revolutionary user interface that provides critical production data in real-time to our clients.”

This also includes comprehensive operational and performance data from the machine so MMC clients have up-to-thesecond information regarding the health and efficiency of equipment. The LM-270 cap lining machine features an intelligent console called the MMC-icon, which serves as the central information hub for machine and production data.

Today, MMC Packaging touts a range of new capabilities for troubleshooting in real-time data management via the system database. The status of all the sensors and actuators, current voltage – everything – is recorded and available for system analysis and troubleshooting purposes.

ity Through Vision) system and the MMC-icon solutions, MMC needed a user interface with a selection of standard programming tools. The first steps toward PC-based control actually started with research into industrial Ethernet technologies.

“We first encountered PC-based control from Beckhoff Automation because of EtherCAT,” explains Yan Letourneau, MMC’s senior electrical designer. “I was impressed with the speed and capabilities of EtherCAT, so I started following the technology, and attended a Beckhoff seminar about EtherCAT. As another design need at the time, I sought an HMI panel capable of multitouch functionality and found that Beckhoff also offers a range of solutions in this area so I quickly got in touch with the Beckhoff sales team in Quebec.”

As the control programming platform, MMC Packaging standardized on TwinCAT 3, which supports all IEC 61131-3 programming languages, object-oriented programming (OOP), C/C++ and provides many other optional tools to programming engineers.

Another highlight in TwinCAT 3 is the possibility to reserve individual CPU cores of a multi-core processor exclusively for TwinCAT. This feature, known as “CPU Isolation,” gives the full performance of the reserved cores solely to TwinCAT. All LM-270 automation, including conveyor control, reject functions and confirmation of rejects are handled using TwinCAT 3 now. With PC-based control, the company was also able to implement more efficient timing on the machines.

“With TwinCAT 3, manual intervention is minimized when performing timing changes on the machine,” Letourneau adds.

“Using automatic timing in software, the LM 270 machine, with all its connected peripherals, can easily change speed on the fly and adapt the equipment rate to the volume and production needs of our clients.”

TwinCAT 3 NC PTP controls and synchronizes the events of indexing, cutting and inserting lining materials with registraSeptember | 2016

tion marks. “We also use TwinCAT 3 Scope to record all the data in the process,” Letourneau explains.

“The data is stored on the hard drive of a Beckhoff C6525 fanless built-in industrial PC.” In addition to recording production data, the LM-270 leverages the same C6525 IPC as the centralized control hardware along with Beckhoff CP391x multi-touch control panels for the display hardware. Beckhoff controls, a CX2040 Embedded PC, are also used on MMC’s QTVision line.

“We previously used a ‘white box’ PC with the control programmed with C++ and had four or more cameras connected to it,” Letourneau says.

“That PC couldn’t keep up with the vision programs, which caused a CPU load of around 70%. After moving to the CX2040 and TwinCAT 3, we went from 70% CPU load down to 30%. With four cameras, we can inspect up to 2,400 caps per minute and process up to 9,600 images per minute using the CX2040 without causing strain on the CPU.” With the new controls platform and interface, MMC Packaging utilizes 3D models and tutorial videos to supplement operator training and support. “The ability to run all tasks including automation, PLC, motion control and the Windows based graphical interface on a single device was a huge factor in favor of PC-based control as well,” Ouellet says. “Our 3D manual utilizes multi-touch functionality programmed using C++ or C and includes pinch gestures to zoom in/out and view valuable equipment information and learn how to best operate the machine.”

Wearing Many Caps Control speeds in the low microsecond range are now commonplace for MMC Packaging, such as triggering cameras in the vision systems at 250 microseconds. As with any equipment manufacturer today, better machine diagnostic information improves the end customer’s ability to identify potential problems, pinpoint them and resolve them before unplanned downtime occurs. With a wider range of data logging and troubleshooting tools, MMC expects to significantly reduce their customer assistance intervention time and boost their customers’ uptime as a result. Enhanced diagnostics capabilities and remote connectivity through the PC- and EtherCAT-based control platform are the key enablers.

“TwinSAFE also demonstrates another added value from EtherCAT,” Letourneau says. “Even for safety technology, I still use standard Ethernet cables. All the safety data goes through the EtherCAT protocol and there are TwinSAFE terminals throughout the machine. A system-integrated programmable safety solution is much easier to modify in the future as our machine designs evolve.” MMC Packaging mainly uses TwinSAFE for e-stops, safety guards, integrated servo drive safety and for safety measures on VFDs. To implement the servo drive safety, MMC Packaging utilizes Beckhoff AX5000 EtherCAT servo drives equipped with AX5801 www.design-engineering.com

or AX5805 TwinSAFE drive option cards for safe stop functions (STO, SS1). The TwinSAFE-enabled AX5000 servo drives are paired to AM8000 series servo motors with one cable technology (OCT), which cuts the number of motor cables and connectors by 50%.

“One Cable Technology in our servo system along with the EtherCAT I/O system and TwinSAFE have been instrumental in streamlining our machine designs,” Ouellet says. “Instead of managing all control wires from the central units to all of our peripherals, we now only have to wire a single Ethernet cable, which dramatically cuts our wiring cost and saves 20 to 24 hours of installation time per setup.” It is also possible to integrate any standard Ethernet device with EtherCAT, the cables used are standard and no proprietary fieldbus cards are needed. MMC Packaging also uses EtherCAT gateway terminals that provide an easy interface to other networks and protocols when required.

High Density (HD) EtherCAT Terminals in 16 channel format also help MMC save space in electrical cabinets. “With HD Terminals, we have replaced outdated terminals that had fewer I/O points and inefficient screw-type connections,” Letourneau says. “The EtherCAT I/O terminals we use today have efficient Cage Clamp connections which enable far simpler wiring. This streamlines machine setup and results in shorter machine lead times as well. We reduced electrical cabinet space by more than 30% and the savings can be directly traced back to the EtherCAT I/O system and compact PC-based controllers like the C6525 IPCs and CX2040 Embedded PCs.” “The first stage of the MMC Packaging controls upgrade is officially complete,” states Anthi Balafoutis, MMC’s sales and marketing coordinator. “The LM 270, MMC-icon and QTVision machines are only the first of our machine lines to be equipped with Beckhoff PC-based controls. The next step is to develop and implement this technology on all other machine lines we offer, including MMC assembly, sealing and slitting machines. We will also retrofit existing MMC machines already in the field.” DE www.mmcpackaging.com www.beckhoff.ca

INDUSTRY 4.0 HERE AND NOW

The digital factory may seem like a far off place but the technology can provide value today.

By Ben Hope

T

he concept of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) has been around for a few years now, but it’s only been in the last 18 months where there has been a significant acceleration in communications, whitepapers, products and articles. It’s the main focus of every industry event and tradeshow, and it’s the front and centre marketing topic for the majority of automation technology providers.

There seems to be a disconnect, however, between that hype and real-world manufacturing operations. The perception is that Industry 4.0 is just something for the future. The reality is that it can provide OEMs with competitive advantage, and help manufacturers respond to demand and decrease costs today.

Industry 4.0 encompasses a lot of different technologies, but let’s focus on four areas that can be used right now to move a company’s automation engagement towards that futuristic Smart Factory concept, while benefitting in the meantime. These four areas are connectivity, modularity, end-to-end engineering, and people, key points along the path to successful I4.0 adoption.

Connectivity If an automation device is connected to the Internet, it becomes an Internet of Things (IoT) device. And it can provide data or Big Data, which can be used by ERP, MES or in analytics for the purpose of machine learning. It’s all acquired in real time, so the data can be acted upon dynamically. But data is just data unless it tells you something. Useful data can be turned into information, and information about an operation can be very valuable.

Business decisions can be made in real time; energy usage can be monitored and optimized; and predicative maintenance can be implemented. An example might be an electric actuator: The motor current will be proportional to the forces required to move the actuator. Over time the current profile will change as the bearings wear. Using machine learning algorithms may help the operator identify when the bearings will fail. Maintenance can be scheduled beforehand and just-in-time. Spare parts can be ordered as they are needed rather than stockpiled.

To facilitate that kind of data flow, OPC UA is becoming the de facto standard for connecting machines to each other and to the Internet. Data can be transferred between two systems with completely different control architectures. Data can be accessed from intelligent devices but also from simple devices like sensors or actuators. This enables IoT, implements the idea of the cyber physical system and achieves the vertical integration of manufacturing operations.

September | 2016

Cloud computing providers are increasingly supporting OPC UA connectivity, allowing automation devices to be connected easily. Microsoft’s Azure IoT suite is an example, with quick connectivity and pre-configured solutions for common requirements like remote monitoring, asset management and predicative maintenance. Automation data can be processed now by advanced analytics software, running on powerful cloud computers where valuable insights about an operation can be identified.

Connecting information on the web requires knowledge of what the information is and how it should be displayed, which is one reason for metadata. The same requirements are being put in place for IoT. In the manufacturing world, devices need to be identified for their function and the data they will provide. The idea of “plug and produce” capability can be realized more effectively by implementing this method of identification rather than having every system preprogrammed to understand every possible device.

For I4.0, connectivity, modularity, end-to-end engineering and people are key.

The I4.0 component concept is an element of RAMI 4.0 (Reference Architectural Model for Industry 4.0). The model’s purpose is to illustrate the connection between IT, manufacturing, product life cycles (through a three-dimensional space). This provides a means of reference when discussing I4.0 architecture, the design of automation products and for engineering manufacturing systems.

The I4.0 Component is a real object in a production environment with an administrative shell to provide a virtual representation of all information and services available. The real object could be an individual component or an entire production system. Devices (or automation modules) can then be plugged into systems and automatically recognized for their function and data.

Connecting the factory floor to the enterprise provides real time information, allowing dynamic decision-making to take place. But taking action requires automation that is capable of responding. www.design-engineering.com

MotionControl: Ideas Modularity Modularity can provide agility. If a system can be organized into sub modules, then they can be scaled up or scaled down as production requirements change. That could be from a functional or a production capacity standpoint. Single, customized parts could be manufactured efficiently and profitably. Disparate part types could be produced on the same line, even at the same time, using only the functionality required for that given workpiece. This idea is often referred to as the Lego principle - being able to build up or build down with the versatility and simplicity (standardized connections) of Lego blocks.

If systems are to be designed as a collection of modules, then there are a few considerations to take note of. In addition to a control fieldbus or an industrial Ethernet, the modules must have a common connection method like OPC UA for vertical integration. Plug and produce functionality is essential. And smarter diagnostics will be required because of the increased complexity that modularity adds to the automation system. The modules then become cyber physical systems, the core of which will have some form of intelligence.

The challenge of engineering a system of automation modules that maintain their value is understanding the potential requirements of the future. A certain synchronicity then is required in order to align product development with automation and the manufacturing operation.

End-to-End Engineering Systems can be designed with more versatility and purpose by connecting the productâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development into an integrated process for automation engineering. Costs could be reduced through object-oriented design and virtualization, the value life of manufacturing systems could be increased, and the products themselves could be brought to market faster.

AutomationML (Automation Markup Language) is a data format based on XML. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used for the storage and transport of automation system information, and the intent is to connect heterogeneous engineering tools for product design, factory topology organization, mechanical engineering, electrical engi-

neering, PLC programming, and HMI development. The amount of repeatable information that needs to be entered into the different tools is loaded only once because everything is connected throughout the entire process.

With AutomationML, physical and logical components of the automation system are stored using an object-oriented approach. An object could be an articulated robot, for example, with sub-objects for end of arm tooling and more subobjects for grippers and sensors. All the mechanical and electrical designs are included in the object as well as its PLC programming.

The information from AutomationML can also be used in virtualization software to build a virtual copy of the automation system and begin PLC integration before the actual mechanical assembly begins. Application and performance issues can be identified before expensive parts are manufactured; and the PLC program can be debugged and functional by the time the system is ready for power up. And the objects used in the design can be archived, readily available for future projects.

AutomationML can also be combined with OPC UA to connect the engineering data to the physical machine. Now changes in the engineering data can be automatically recognized by the system, allowing more dynamic and reconfigurable operations.

The workpiece, for example, has a particular geometry. A handling system moves that workpiece at some point along the automation. If the geometry of the workpiece is changed or redesigned, the AutomationML file is updated, and the handling system automatically adjusts for the new dimensions.

End-to-end engineering along with connectivity provide a means to implementing the promise of Industry 4.0, but it will require people with the knowledge and the skills to actually realize it.

People New technologies and manufacturing principles are being developed every day. It is critical that partnerships are created between industry and educational institutions to benefit from their full potential. How can Industry 4.0 factories be designed?

How can legacy systems be connected? How does the manufacturing worker operate equipment? How do we improve the engineering process? Technology is only useful if it can be implemented, and implementation requires education.

Human labour is not eliminated in Industry 4.0, but redefined.

People are needed to design systems and automation products, develop software for control systems and communication, operate and maintain new technologies, and create machine learning algorithms for manufacturing operations.

The automation of Industry 4.0 can exist today, and we can start piecing it together to move towards a manufacturing economy that can meet the demands of the modern world while remaining profitable and productive.

ROUNDTABLE Motion control leaders discuss the industry’s outlook, market trends and how to implement an IIOT strategy.

Edited by Mike McLeod DE: According to the Motion Control & Motor Association, 2014 was a record year for the industry while 2015 saw a small contraction globally. From your perspective, how is 2016 shaping up?

Joe Ottenhof, General Manager, Beckhoff Automation Canada: In 2015, Beckhoff had a very robust year globally, clocking in at 22% year-over year growth, which was unexpected. A lot of that business was generated by sales in motion control products. Nationally, we were flat in Canada in 2015, but 2016 is shaping up to be a very good year. We expect the company, both domestically and globally, to grow well into the double digit percentage range. In Canada, that growth has largely been driven by factory projects rather than by machine builder OEMs, and thus end users have been keeping us especially busy. This is particularly so in the automotive sector, which is very contract driven. People say Canadian manufacturing hasn’t seen the benefit of the strong Canadian dollar, yet we’ve seen robust growth year-to-date through July and anticipate a strong second half.

Mike Chen, Engineering Manager, Omron Americas: In the Americas, Omron’s sales went up in 2015, when you specifically look at servos and drives, even though the global market may have contracted slightly. Overall, it’s a bit of a difficult market still in 2016, but we are hoping to see another sales increase for servos and drives, especially factoring in the new servo we debuted this summer. We would credit our increases to the investments we’ve made in people. We’ve been hiring specifically for motion and drives for a while to boost the sales teams’ effectiveness around these products.

September | 2016

Anthony Morielli, Regional Manager - Ontario, Bosch Rexroth Canada: Actually, 2015 was an exceptionally strong growth year for us, mainly due to the automotive sector coming back and the low Canadian dollar. In 2016, we’re seeing moderate growth for the same reasons. It’s enough to off-set the declines we’re seeing in the oil and gas and mining sectors. For the remainder of the year, we’re cautiously optimistic with growth being potentially limited by geo-political issues and the macro-economic environment.

Doug Newton, VP of Marketing, Advanced Motion and Control: We’re just finishing up our fiscal year, and were pleased with the results. Heading into our next fiscal year, we do see potential for growth, new products launches from our vendor base will allow us to take advantage of those potential new opportunities.

Industry 4.0 is all about data and connectivity, so you need a clearly defined data challenge that you want to solve...there’s no point having connectivity if you don’t know what you want to do with it.

– Joe Ottenhof, General Manager, Beckhoff Automation Canada

DE: Which factor(s) (e.g. performance, cost, efficiency, futureproof tech, or something else) are top most in your customers’ minds lately as opposed to five years ago?

Given the number of component-level

Ottenhof – Beckhoff: Five years ago, our business model leveraged price as an entry point against overwhelming competition. Today, customers want innovative technology, but they don’t want to pay a lot for it. Our business model now promotes our company as embracing great technology, but in a very value-centric way. Cost is always going to be a consideration, but it is no longer the entire basis for product selection. That’s a sweet spot for us.

Bottom line: The whole Industry 4.0 concept is becoming more important to customers. They’re not happy with getting just a bare-bones control system. The IIoT concept is an integral part of their mindset now and, increasingly, represents a determining factor in their technology decisions.

Chen – Omron: We mainly focus on automotive, food and beverage packaging, and digital/semi. In those markets, we’re seeing an increased priority toward data and intelligence. People are getting interested in figuring out what they can do with the data they already have, specifically around preventative maintenance measures so they don’t lose any uptime. A lot of customers are also asking about diagnostics and how to implement it: Should

they centralize troubleshooting or distribute it; should they run a database or should they log diagnostics locally? We have seen that as a trend.

Morielli – Bosch: I’ve been in the automation business for more than 20 years and customers have consistently asked for innovative technologies, cost reduction and faster lead times. Now that Canadian OEMs are competing in a global marketplace, these factors have become more important than ever; every year the bar is being raised higher. One key difference is that it seems like everyone is running leaner and customers are becoming increasingly dependent on suppliers to provide value-added services and support.

For customers five years ago, price may have been the driving factor. Today, cost is still important although now performance and quality are also top of mind. Speed is a key factor in that, improving the throughput on their machines. Also, there is a great deal of R&D being done by our vendors to develop more energy efficient components.

DE: To what extent is your company becoming a service-oriented “solutions” engineering business in addition to a componentoriented business?

Ottenhof – Beckhoff: Increasingly, customers need their technology supplier to also serve as an engineering services provider.

This is an observation on our part, certainly, but there is a reason for it. Our customers have indicated that they are often reluctant to deal with technologies that are outside their area of expertise.

It’s much like your car; 25 years ago, if your car didn’t work, you could fix it yourself. Today, nobody services their own car, given the high level of technological advancement. Often, with control systems, customers say that they don’t have time to keep up with trends and changes in technology. They need their technology supplier to be their eyes and ears for what’s happening with technology, but also be able to apply it for them. For us, it’s becoming a bigger and bigger part of our business, not by design, but because of the growing complexity of the solutions we provide.

Chen – Omron: Given the number of component-level providers out there, especially from the emerging markets with very low-cost components, the only way larger companies stay competitive is by leveraging their size as a full-on solution provider. With Omron, our breadth of product is fairly substantial; everything from relays and limit switches all the way to motion control and robotics with the acquisition of Adept and Delta Tau. Beyond that, our customers want to know how we can help them put it all together. Customers are used to cherry picking brands A, B, C and D for each component.

What we are doing is making sure we embed value-added features into our technology so that our products work best with each other and we can also sell them together as a full-on solution.

September | 2016

Morielli – Bosch: We’ve been in the Canadian market since the 1960s and our approach has always been to provide value added services rather than just pushing product. Traditionally, we’ve assisted with mechanical/electrical design, control architecture design, and software development, to name a few. But some of the newer services we’re starting to offer include things like pre-engineered solutions.

For example, we now provide simulation software services for designing virtual machines. With the software, you can test the entire machine for the dynamics and energy requirements, and interface with the controller as well. Another area is pre-engineered system configurators that allow customers to design complete systems, such as hydraulic power units or Cartesian pick and place handling systems. In the past, that might have taken hours or days, but now it just takes a few minutes.

Newton – Advanced Motion: We’ve been doing it for many years, our organization has a strong technical engineering core and value-added service is very important. As much as we sell components, we also hear from our customer base that they value our ability to package a solution to save them time and effort. Everyone is looking for efficiency in keeping the lead-times competitive. So we do offer and promote valueadded resources to leverage the vendor product that we represent.

DE: For OEMs looking to integrate Industry 4.0 / IIOT technology into their systems, where is a logical place to start?

Ottenhof – Beckhoff: Industry 4.0 is all about data and connectivity, so you need a clearly defined data challenge that you want to solve. A lot of people have this vague idea that they need to connect things together, but there’s no point having implementing enhanced connectivity if you don’t know what you want to do with it.

The second thing you need to establish is that if the challenge can be solved, would it lead to substantial business gains? That’s the only way you’re going to generate the necessary energy and tenacity to make the changes needed, as they are often cultural as well as financial.

Number three is that top management must understand the challenge and realize it comes with an opportunity. Then they need to accept that this isn’t a task, but an opportunity that needs to be supported accordingly.

Number four is to select a partner that understands the issues you’re facing. Partnering with a company that has been there many times, and that understands what you are trying to accomplish, will streamline this venture and prevent a lot of headaches.

As a bonus point, stick to mainstream, IT standard technologies, rather than something proprietary; getting a win under your belt breeds confidence, and it’s a great way to begin changing the culture of a company and drive positive change. www.design-engineering.com

MotionControl Chen – Omron: When customers ask us that, our first question is what are you trying to measure? Are they trying to measure downtime/uptime, reject rates, etc. Once we have that, then we can recommend what data will allow them to attach a metric and how to measure it. From there, it becomes a question of who controls the data; are you an OEM who gets to choose how this data is supplied to the end user, or are you an end user who already has an established infrastructure? Omron has come up with products that allow data to be passed from controls technology all the way up to the enterprise level systems, which bypasses many points of failure in software or PC-based systems.

Morielli – Bosch: A key aspect of Industry 4.0 is related to big data and analytics. OEMs really need to understand their customers’ business objectives to determine how to most effectively use the data. One area that should be very attractive is the idea of predictive maintenance. Traditionally, we’ve had reactive maintenance, which can be costly due to unplanned downtime, and preventative, which can increase costs because you’re replacing components more often.

With predictive, we can determine the optimal time to service a machine by predicting failures before they occur.

Along the same lines, collecting machine data can help customers improve quality, boost productivity or reduce waste.

Most process monitoring systems are based on a binary view, where quality is either good or bad. By collecting process data

As much as we sell components, we also hear from our customer base that they value our ability to package a solution to save them time and effort. Everyone is looking for efficiency in keeping the leadtimes competitive.

–D oug Newton, VP of Marketing, Advanced Motion and Control

and applying analytics, you can look at trends in quality over time and react before a quality issue occurs. In both these cases, the data collecting technology can be applied to new machines and retrofitted onto existing machines in the field.

Newton – Advanced Motion: As a distributor, we leverage what our supplier base is developing and eventually will bring to market; in essence, they will be leading the way for us. At the centre of this will be sensor technology and the ability for feedback within a given framework, with the goal that end users will have visibility into all aspects of their production processes. It will be interesting to see how North America takes to this concept, you’re either on the bus or off it and if you’re off, you might have a problem in five years.

Twitter, Facebook and the like can prove a powerful marketing tool and, best part, it’s free.

By Josh Cosford

W

e at the Canadian Fluid Power Association provide value to our members through our Four Pillars. Market Insights provides statistical and economic data specifically for the Canadian fluid power industry. The Careers & Education pillar promotes fluid power careers to students, parents and educators, and provides fluid power education through our Fluid Power Challenge. Industrial Relations provides fluid power regulations and certifications information to our membership. Finally, through the Communications pillar, we promote the CFPA and fluid power industry through media outreach, website content and social media platforms.

The value of social media to industrial manufacturers and distributors has been previously unclear, and the effort to promote your company through Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. seemed too exhaustive to be worthwhile. If you can relate to the previous sentence, then perhaps you should reconsider your stance, because it’s now clear social media provides the highest value for your marketing buck, and that even applies to our mature fluid power industry.

Through the various social media channels, you can leverage your brand, create business connections and attract the industry’s top talent. LinkedIn is often regarded as the most effective B2B social network, able to position you and your business as a leader in the industry. It also allows you to connect with industry colleagues to provide your value message through company white papers, discussion groups and cross-promotion. LinkedIn is now the single best resource for securing the world’s top talent, and every career-minded professional knows it, posting what is essentially their online resume for the world to see.

Twitter is rapidly climbing in popularity as a dynamic and collaborative tool for connecting with your customers daily, allowing you to discuss hot industry topics and share company marketing material. You can gain customer feedback during product development and search for pertinent and specific topics to your company and industry through hashtags. Twitter requires daily usage and interaction to be effective, but instead of hiring dedicated social media marketers, you could be employing Millennials who September | 2016

find social media intuitive, even if their daily duties are anything from inside sales to hose assembler.

YouTube is the most effective B2B platform next to LinkedIn, and allows you to tell your brand’s story and provide educational content via video. You could include advertisements, product demonstrations, how-to clips or newsreels. Just like all social media, the service is free, and when combined with other platforms, videos are easily shared and promoted.

Here’s the most important thing you should know about social media: It’s free! Sure, it will take time … daily time, to be effective.

But what is your marketing budget? What did it cost to make your last line card or brochure – you know, the one your customers throw in the trash after a cold call? You don’t even need a dedicated social media or marketing team. It only takes your acceptance that social media is no longer optional, but a requirement. That acceptance must also apply to your team’s activity on social media. Instead of monitoring your employees’ online usage, encourage them to take part in your social media plan during work hours.

If you don’t believe that social media is now important for industrial and manufacturing businesses, go on LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube, and then search for your biggest competitors. Do you think Parker, with 97,000 LinkedIn followers, 11,200 Twitter followers and 344,041 video views on YouTube, might know something you do not? Or how about Bosch Rexroth, with 59,523 LinkedIn followers, 5,500 Twitter followers and a whopping 549,500 views on YouTube? Get on social media, and get active now.

In other CFPA news, this past Fluid Power Challenge was a huge success. Students from 21 West Toronto middle schools were asked to design and build fluid power devices, actuated by water-filled syringes to pick up a wooden cylinder and place it on one of two target zones. They were evaluated on a set of criteria, including the number of cycles completed and the quality of their design portfolios.

The overall winner for this year’s challenge was Hodgson Senior Public School, based on how well their device performed and the quality of their portfolio. Also, Islington Junior Middle School won for best portfolio. CFPA strongly believes that we need to encourage the next generation to plan early for careers in fluid power and to create enthusiasm for the field in students, teachers and parents.
