Banelec says manufacturers must think beyond individual machines as new PwC research highlights widening gap between automation leaders and the rest of industry The manufacturers that embrace integrated automation over the next five years are set to pull decisively ahead of competitors still relying on disconnected production systems, according to new global research highlighting one […]

Britain’s ambition to strengthen domestic supply chains across nuclear energy, defence and critical infrastructure presents a significant opportunity for specialist manufacturers capable of delivering highly engineered electrical systems into some of the world’s most demanding operating environments. A new report from the Critical Supply Group suggests many UK manufacturers believe they could play a far

For many manufacturers, productivity has traditionally been measured by investment. A new production line, faster machinery or greater automation often promised the biggest gains. Increasingly, however, manufacturers are discovering that their greatest opportunity lies elsewhere: ensuring the equipment they already own never unexpectedly stops. Across UK manufacturing, unplanned downtime has become one of the most

As manufacturers invest heavily in robotics, artificial intelligence and increasingly autonomous production systems, one challenge is emerging that many factories did not anticipate: making sure people remain effective when they stop operating machines and start supervising them. Across sectors from aerospace and automotive to food manufacturing and energy, automation has transformed productivity. But while machines

Source: Lockheed Martin As Britain prepares to increase defence spending and expand sovereign manufacturing capability, much of the public debate has centred on ships, aircraft, missiles and armoured vehicles. Behind every new production line, however, sits another layer of engineering that receives far less attention: the electrical control systems that enable factories to manufacture safely,

As Britain’s manufacturers face rising energy costs, growing electricity demand and the need to decarbonise, factory automation is taking on a new significance

Manufacturers are increasingly investing in automation not to replace people, but because finding them has become one of the industry’s biggest challenges, according to West Midlands electrical control systems specialist Banelec. The Brierley Hill company, which designs and manufactures bespoke electrical control systems, integrates automated production equipment and provides industrial electrical maintenance services, says a

Brierley Hill-based electrical control systems manufacturer and automation integrator Banelec has secured a landmark £2.5 million contract to supply 800 specialist Power Distribution Units (PDUs) into a major nuclear energy programme, marking one of the most significant orders in the company’s history and a major step forward in its expansion into the energy sector. The

Brierley Hill engineering specialist Banelec says growing health and safety requirements are driving unprecedented demand for automation, control systems integration and production line modernisation across UK industry. Once viewed primarily as a way of improving productivity, automation is increasingly being adopted by manufacturers as a critical tool for reducing workplace injuries, improving operational safety and

Banelec has secured a major new order from Bombardier after developing an innovative ATEX-compliant personnel lifting system designed to significantly improve safety, efficiency and operational flexibility within hazardous aerospace environments. The Brierley Hill-based engineering specialist was awarded the contract following the successful development of a mobile lifting control system capable of operating across multiple zones without the extensive
