Innovation that Drives Industry
EWI creates a competitive advantage for heavy manufacturing clients by developing and deploying advanced manufacturing technologies that directly tackle their pain points.
Meeting the Challenges of Heavy Manufacturing
With rising demands for stronger and lighter materials, higher productivity, increased safety, and reduced costs, the off-highway industry must constantly seek innovative and effective solutions for the difficulties that inevitably arise when striving to meet these needs.
The Challenges in HeavyManufacturing eGuide series takes a look at three specific areas of concern for heavy manufacturers: weld distortion, flexible manufacturing, and fatigue performance.
Automating Repair and Remanufacturing
Economic pressures are increasing the demand for repaired and remanufactured parts and equipment. Automating repair and remanufacturing is difficult, as part conditions can vary significantly. Nevertheless, customers expect remanufactured parts to cost less and perform flawlessly. EWI offers a range of services to enable automated repair and remanufacturing, including these:
- Metal additive manufacturing (AM)
- Wear classification
- Adaptive welding
- Structural health monitoring
