Here, David Messant, Production Manager at standard components specialist norelem, has explored how standard components can be used to implement digital, supply chain and robotics solutions to minimise downtime and maximise productivity.

norelem has introduced a new range of ceramic locating pins and rest pads to its portfolio, offering long lasting, robust performance to engineers and manufacturers.

Harnessing the power of solar is a hot topic for the engineering industry, with vast potential to use this power source in new technologies. Here, Marcus Schneck, CEO of norelem, discusses how standard components have their part to play in this exciting challenge.

When choosing the appropriate material, users should always consider the area of application. Here Marcus Schneck, CEO of norelem has explained why it is crucial to use operating parts made of high-quality materials as this can ensure the reliability and stability of the components used and products produced. 

norelem supported three universities who took the top ten places in the World Solar Challenge 2019. Regarded as one of the toughest solar races in the world, the challenge is a biennial solar-powered car race across the Australian outback that ran between 13th to 20th October.

The engineering industry, like all others, has its own set of unique challenges and opportunities. At present, one question on everybody’s lips is how the industry can collectively encourage the UK’s brightest minds and attract its youngest talent, explained Paul Mulvey, Sales Director at norelem UK.

With future demand for engineers outstripping supply, one manufacturer is investing in young engineering talent after hosting its second annual Race Camp, held at the race track in Steiβlingen, Germany in June.
