Staying agile in a restless, dynamic market has grown more crucial than ever for the equipment & machinery manufacturers, with changes in technology necessitating existing production lines to adopt speedy turnaround times.
As the dependency of modern manufacturing on flexible production systems increases, the adoption of advanced conveyor systems and modular belt drives is gaining robust momentum abreast surging pressure in the material handling environment.
Modular belt drives are becoming a common sight in myriad production environments, complemented by their multifunctional attributes and relative durability. The requirement of end-users for scalability in production lines has led the introduction of versatile modular belt drives that enable diffusion of static electricity build-up, improvement in heat resistance, prevention of freezing, and convenience in friction management.
Key players operating in the modular belt drive market include Dunlop Btl Ltd., Abb Automation Products GmbH, Bode Belting GmbH, Habasit AG (Habasit Group), Scan Belt A/S, Central Conveyor Limited, and Martin Sprocket & Gear, Inc. Companies in the modular belt drive market are focusing on the provision of solutions such as in-line accumulation and systems integration.
Growing Popularity as a Strategic Tool to Favor Gains
Achieving scalable and versatile configurations in the production flow has been facilitated by modular belt drive deployments, meanwhile reducing the downtime linked with adjustments, reconfigurations and repairs that affect the bottom line. Modular belt drives continue to gain popularity as strategic tools in production environments, with their potential to enhance the process flow in most of the heavy- as well as light-duty applications.
Modular belt drive manufacturers have been gradually making smaller changes in accessories and configurations, for a holistic probe into the hidden value of modular belt drive in optimising cost-savings and productivity. The flexibility of truly modular belt drives in terms of portability has significantly complemented their adoption in recent years.
As the emphasis on maximum uptime continue to spiral up in production and processing facilities, development of low-maintenance modular belt drives that promote indexing, reversing and cutting power is one of the key strategies among players in the modular belt drive market.
Introduction of Intelligent Systems to Complement Demand
Modern designs of modular belt drives feature intelligent control systems that keep track of the belt-side load even as monitoring the operational status. Such advances in modular belt drives, such as the integration of smart systems that facilitate optimisation of operational procedures via dynamic simulations are expected to favor growth of the modular belt drive market.
Key players in the modular belt drive market have also introduced automated modular belt drives that apply motion control for delivering programmable positioning, even at low resolutions.
Demand for more compact, efficient and economical positioning methods of the modular belt drive has gained a robust emphasis in the production and processing industries, given the concerns of time and floor space. Virtual prototyping of the modular belt drives is fast becoming a reality, with growing number of the dynamic simulation packages introduced by key vendors in the modular belt drive market. OEMs can now select from a range of automated modular belt drive
Modular belt drives continue to witness adoption as the building blocks to cater needs of changing product flows, in turn complementing lean manufacturing – a key winning imperative for companies operating in the modular belt drive market. Development of modular belt drive, which enables changing shape, is composed of interlocking units, and is self-contained to be configured for meeting alterations in production flow, is one of the primary focus areas of the manufacturers.
Companies in the modular belt drive market are focusing on the supply side dynamics in the value chain through shorter turnarounds and competitive pricing. Key companies are developing modular belt drives to provide for high-performance requirements, such as in washing or dewatering processes.
Varying perceptions of unique flexibility among the modular belt drive manufacturers has meant that the development of modular belt drives that precisely fit end-use requirements is made highly convenient. This has further deprived the requirement for new conveyor systems for every change at the application-end, improving uptime and saving costs for end-users.
