SMC Corporation (UK)

How would your business use a significant cost saving on your annual electricity bill? SMC provides business solutions as well as related products, helping OEMs and end users to understand where they can make efficiencies. Our expertise can help you to meet your sustainable development goals as well as cut costs. One such solution is our air energy audit: we recently helped one customer identify potential annual cost savings of £75,000 after they asked us to walk their production line and identify opportunities to save on compressed air usage. SMC can help you save money on any process involving compressed air – so, if you’re an OEM or end user, challenge us to cut your costs.

Is your business wasting energy and money by supplying too much air pressure around your factory - where high pressure may only be required in specific areas? SMC can help you cut the cost of running your electrical compressor by 14 per cent, thanks to our game-changing, easy-to-fit VBA pressure booster series. One end-user customer recently made significant savings on the running costs of their compressors by fitting a VBA booster and tank to one production process which required a higher pressure, allowing a reduction in pressure to the rest of their factory - saving energy and costs. SMC's Continuous Improvement Manager, Jeff Careless, explains more in this two-minute film. Come and meet Jeff in person at stand A40 of Drives & Controls Expo at the NEC from 5-6 June and he’ll be delighted to explain all about how this cost-cutting innovation can benefit your business – register here for your free ticket: https://lnkd.in/dvsSutF7 #energyefficient #compressedair #costcutting #manufacturing #sustainabledevelopmentgoals #DrivesAndControls

How can SMC save you hours when designing new machines, to win back precious time that you can spend on other tasks? Our innovative PneuSAFE software – described as ‘groundbreaking’ by 80% of users – ensures your machines will meet safety obligations set within UK and international standards and other relevant legislation. One of SMC’s OEM customers recently saved thousands of pounds thanks to PneuSAFE - they avoided many hours of research into how to meet safety standards for their machinery, meaning operators would be kept safe from moving, pneumatic cylinders. Simply select the safety function to implement in the circuit or the application at hand, and PneuSAFE will intuitively guide you towards appropriate solutions, supplying all relevant documentation.

Would you like an easy way to make compressed air savings AND integrate air use data into dashboards? Let us tell you how SMC can help! Most dashboard systems don’t take machine protocols directly. However, SMC’s Air Management System does the hard work for you, converting the information and allowing you to easily incorporate data tags on your dashboard. End users who have our Air Management System in their machines find it easier to keep track of their machine performance, identify anomalies before they turn into crises and measure compressed air consumption. Watch our two-minute video to find out more, then get in touch to get started! Simply contact your local Sales Consultant, email us at sales@smc.uk or call us on 0330 311 6689. You can also visit us on stand A40 in hall 5 at Drives & Controls from 5-6 June at the NEC, to discover first-hand how Air Management System can help you cut costs, enable efficiencies and decrease downtime.

We were delighted to welcome staff and undergraduate students of University of Leeds last week to give them a closer view of operations at our UK manufacturing, logistics & administration facility in Milton Keynes. The group spent several hours on site here and during their visit discovered many of the lean manufacturing efficiencies used daily, as we manufacture bespoke products for the UK market. They were also given a tour of our on-site Innovations Centre which showcases many of the automation solutions SMC is renowned for globally - and our Director of Operations also joined them to take their questions. #CSR #educationliaison #manufacturing #automation #SMC #leanmanufacturing Anna Ellis | Gary Haynes | Dave Westbury | Richard Stirling
