Autopromotec 2015 Italy

With Autopromotec kicking off in just a few weeks, the organizers of the most specialized international exhibition of automotive equipment and aftermarket products (Bologna, Italy, May 20-24, 2015) confirm the success recorded in the halls devoted to tires and tire equipment.

The recent changes in the regulatory framework, in particular the introduction of tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), have provided positive input for the tire industry, and all exhibitors will be displaying interesting innovations in terms of products, as well as diagnostic and programming tools. As proof of the great excitement about this sector, the halls devoted to tires and tire equipment were the first to sell out despite widening: hall 31, part of hall 15 and external area 42 were thus added to the halls originally intended for tires, i.e. halls 19, 20 and 22.

Once again, Autopromotec proves to be the international landmark event for the tire industry. In Bologna, visitors will be able to meet the world’s leading tire companies and tire equipment manufacturers, as well as retread professionals: from manufacturers of retreaded tires, retreading equipment, materials and products to waste tire operators. Autopromotec 2015 will also host two important international events for the tire retreading industry: the BIPAVER (European Retread Manufacturers Association) General Assembly on May 21, and a presentation of ALARNEU (Latin-American Retread Manufacturers Association), during which the current situation of the Latin-American tire industry will be analyzed and strategies to cope with change in market trends will be delved into.

C8.7 High Performance Propulsion Engine by FPT Italy

The C8.7’s sophisticated fuel delivery system allows the use of a radial, belt-driven supercharger in addition to the conventional turbocharger; this feature eliminates smoke and reduces lugging, while delivering phenomenal low-end torque and impressive fuel economy. .

FPT ( Fiat Powertrain Technologies) Industrial’s advancements in second-generation common rail fuel injection systems paired with an innovative air management system allows the compact C8.7 to develop an impressive 650 mhp @ 2300 rpm while meeting EPA Tier 3, IMO II, and CCNR Stage II emissions requirements.

Caterpillar Incorporated and FPT Industrial S.p.A. announce an agreement in the field of marine pleasure craft engines. According to the new agreement, combining the vast marine know-how of Caterpillar and the leading edge technology of FPT Industrial, the new Cat C8.7 and Cat C12.9, with a displacement of 8.7 and 12.9 liters respectively, will offer yacht manufacturers a broad array of horsepower ratings ranging from 650 to 1000 mhp. In order to meet customers’ unique requirements, each engine will be offered in several different configurations; all will conform to Tier 3 emissions regulations.

Caterpillar has been a mainstay in marine propulsion for over seventy years, while FPT Industrial is a firm that can trace its roots back to the turn of the twentieth century. The new venture between the two revered engine manufacturers will provide unmatched value to customers, beginning with the sophisticated design of the engines, continuing with the ease of installation, and culminating with the serviceability of the new power plants. FPT Industrial’s latest technological developments include implementing second-generation common rail fuel injection and advanced and innovative air handling techniques which together allow an extremely high power density and generous amounts of low-end torque. The new engines’ compact envelope creates a myriad of new possibilities, all of which result in remarkable performance gains. For example, a pair of the new 1000 mhp engines can now be installed in a hull design which previously was limited with size constraints to engines of a much lower rating. Servicing of the new engines is straightforward thanks to right- or left-hand service options, and of course the new product is backed by Caterpillar’s world renowned dealership network.

The pairing of the two diesel engine manufacturers seems to be the perfect match– FPT’s innovations and developments combined with Caterpillar’s vast marine experience and global dealer presence will grant customers fuel efficiency while at the same time providing best-in-class power, torque, and load response.

8. Core Supply Chain Definitions Distributors Cores  A core, an essential part of any remanufacturing process, is an old component retrieved from a failing vehicle undergoing repair.  Quality of a core is the most important attribute for remanufacturing suitability.  Procurement of cores can be a challenging task, mainly because of their myriad of functionality, appearance, and completeness of different cores.  On replacement of an old powertrain component with a new or remanufactured part at an independent repair shop or a dealership, the distributor takes the old part and refunds the core charge to the mechanic.  The old part is then returned by the distributor to the supplier (remanufacturer) for the refund of the core deposit. Core Brokers  Core brokers are an indispensable part of the remanufacturing value chain in the United States since they act as core consolidators.  Brokers procure cores from different sources, such as peddlers and crashed vehicles, OEM/OES surplus, and dismantlers, and later on sort these according to customer part numbers. A bid list is sent to the brokers from remanufacturers containing the part numbers and quantities needed.  Following agreement on pricing, cores are sold and shipped to the remanufacturer.

18. Industry Best Practices: Leveraging OE Relationships Caterpillar subsidiary CAT Reman receives core supplies from OEMs for remanufacture because it made the original production part. Integrated Remanufacturing and Distribution Customer buys a CAT Reman product at a fraction of the price of a new unit. The price includes the core deposit, which is refunded to the customer when they return the old part. Text Established Distribution Network The remanufactured parts/assemblies are shipped to OEMs for re-sale through their dealerships and warehouse distributors. Strategic Locations The cores are shipped to 1 of 17 CAT Reman facilities across the world for remanufacturing. Quality Focus Once the dealer inspects and accepts the old product, the core deposit is returned to the customer. CAT Reman Core Stewardship Dealerships transfer the core to the OEMs warehouse to reaffirm the inspection. The OEM refunds the core deposit to the dealership. Core Acquisition and Inspection Caterpillar has been supplying Class 6-8 OEMs as an contract remanufacturer since 2004, acquiring competitors in the United States and overseas. The company continues to buy local suppliers around the world to benefit from their knowledge and infrastructure. Source: Frost & Sullivan NCDE-18 18

Group concept

Mission:

The repair of a group does not consist in the replacement of only the damaged parts that compose it. it is the awareness of the substitution of shares in anticipation of an imminent damage, due to their wear.
The ability to predict a break is a function of an analysis technique that relates the real-time operation of the component, and the quality of the individual parts that compose it: except that there have been no design errors on the part of the brand.
The duration of operation of each component is always due to a period of maintenance in order to allow for proper use and appropriate duration: the higher the value of the component the greater attention that falls on it and hence the quality of the individual parts that make up the set.
The creation of the groups from the conceptual point of view and commercial aims to provide the customer or to repair the complete view of the spare interested in a possible replacement. It’s not the only benefit for the producers of spare parts to it is the vision that the manufacturer prior to the end user to transmit that will face an expense in anticipation of a repair.

Description:

The group is a set of parts that satisfy the quality conditions, mechanical and physical properties necessary and sufficient to the composition of a component in order to ensure the functioning of a machine. They can also be created for the sole purpose of facilitating the installation by the end customer who can follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer for proper installation. This is to reduce the time of commissioning. Can be created in order to indicate which of them are usable parts from the brand or by the manufacturer; or which are present in the market competition in order to provide the end customer a preventive vision of availability in the domestic market. The group is identified with the suffix “GP” to the item that describes eg “BEVEL – GP” (pinion and gear).

Coding and classification:

The group is encoded as if it were a single spare part. Correspond to it information about the size, the packing, the weight and the amount of the prices of individual parts that compose it.

Dismantling and assembling:

The group, at the discretion of the manufacturer, can be supplied entirely. The component parts must always be usable and where required sold individually.

Picture:

The manufacturer provides an illustration of the group and its composition with a clear indication of what are the parts that make it up and which accessory parts indicated only in order to indicate the location of the component.
The group is shown in 3D isometric perspective and shows the list of spare parts. The list shows the number of codified parts identified in numerical order corresponding to the illustration which depicted the group itself.

Printing:

The print format is adopted standard A4 structured in one or more pages giving precedence to the illustrations and the following list of parts.

Service kit: gender groupings:

Any other parts that are not shown in the drawing as seal kit or kits bearings are indicated at the end of list at the discretion of the manufacturer according to the needs of use. In this way every time you looked at a list, in the bottom of the list of component parts, there may be a list of other spare parts: the so-called kits.
The parties grouped in kits will be marked with a symbol next to the alphabetical coding. The same symbol is shown next to the coding of the kit which is part of it.

Information access:

The manufacturer allows the direct and free access to information of the spare parts and groups.

Certification and compliance:

The individual parts are part of a group comply with the originals and are adaptable individually if they were used in other groups. The manufacturer has an obligation to produce, within 30 days from the date of request, quality certified parts sold. In the case of assembling a group, within 30 days of the request, the manufacturer will have to produce a certificate has been installed in accordance with the specifications given by the brand.

Origin & labeling:

The label of each part must include: encoding; description; quantiy, weight; origin.
If the goods are not from the Community, the manufacturer is required to produce simultaneously with the transport document a statement of origin.

Warranty:

The commercial sale of a “group” protects the customer for at least 2 years warranty after delivery unlike the individual parts that are guaranteed 12 months. The manufacturer has the skills, the tools and the means to offer the customer the component up and running to perfection.

Core exchange:

The manufacturer may pay the customer a 30% discount (core deposit) for the core received provided it meets certain minimum conditions of acceptance. This only then the whole group is sold with the exchange of core.

Sale and availability:

The individual parts that make up the group are serviceable and available up to a term of two years from the sale. The manufacturer undertakes to produce for himself an amount necessary and sufficient whereas in a short future the same group may have to be revised or double-checked. In the time interval covered by the warranty, if not on stock of the manufacturer, the defective parts are replaced with the original from the brand at the expense and charges not paid by the customer.

Drive a Volvo machine with 5G mobile technology

Mobile World Congress: “Così da Barcellona ho guidato una ruspa a Stoccolma”

La tecnologia di connettività si evolve a velocità incredibile: un anno fa avevamo provato nello stand Ericsson un concept di utilizzo futuro delle reti 5G (attese non prima del 2020) con una ruspa modellino e una connessione locale. Solo 12 mesi dopo la ruspa è diventata reale e si trova in Svezia. L’abbiamo guidata da Barcelona: la tecnologia che oggi lo rende possibile è una linea 4G Lte cat.4 dedicata e unisce video in 4K (ma su due canali, per la visione stetoscopica) e audio Hd.L’effetto è impressionante. Ma per rendere commercialmente fattibile ed economicamente sostenibile un utilizzo industriale di questo tipo, il 5G sarà necessario: garantirà video 8K, un ritardo ancora minore, ma anche la riproduzione delle scosse per una sensazione completa del lavoro e l’utilizzo ad esempio di più ruspe.Le applicazioni sono infinite, dall’utilizzo di macchinari in situazioni che sarebbero pericolose o semplicemente non raggiungibili. “Siamo davvero entusiasti – dice Cristian Norlin, Master Researcher di Ericsson – di presentare una dimostrazione perfettamente funzionante del concept che avevamo qui lo corso anno”. La demo è realizzata in collaborazione con Volvo Construction Equipment e sostenuta da Oryx Simulations.
