I've been tidying up my house lately, and a major part of that is that all of the little piles of stuff have been sorted through and given homes in places other than the floor. The consequence is that there is now SO MUCH ROOM ON THE FLOOR!!!

I literally dance around the house now, just because I don't have to carefully tiptoe around my precarious piles of books.

How Automation Affects Your Floor Space

One of the areas often overlooked when planning for automation is the way automation changes the floor space inside a metal fabrication company. It’s not exactly an issue of more space vs. less space, it’s a different way to use the same space. For example, you might have to think in a “cell” fashion rather than in a linear fashion, where next steps succeed each other literally down the line.

Here are some of the areas to consider when planning for automation, and the ways it can potentially change and make use of your space:

Efficient Space Utilization: Automated equipment can have a more compact and efficient design compared to traditional machinery. This can lead to better utilization of space, allowing more operations to be conducted in the same area. For example, automated storage and retrieval systems can utilize vertical space more effectively than manual storage. This three-dimensional thinking is still somewhat new in our business.

Reconfiguration of Layout: Automation may require a reconfiguration of the shop floor layout. Machines might need to be arranged differently to optimize workflow and accommodate automated systems. This might involve centralizing certain operations or creating specific areas for automated processes.

Reduction in Storage Space: Automation can lead to a reduction in the amount of space needed for storage. Automated systems often include just-in-time manufacturing processes, which minimize the need for storing large amounts of inventory on the shop floor.

Increased Safety Zones: Automated machinery might require additional safety measures, such as barriers or designated safety zones, which could take up additional floor space. This is necessary to ensure the safety of workers operating near automated equipment.

Decreased People Zones. Because of the additional cages and safety areas, “people” zones will shrink, and that must be considered when planning traffic through a shop. This is particularly true when considering the lanes for bringing 10 x 5 sheets of steel through the plant.

Room for Expansion: With automation, some processes become more efficient, potentially freeing up space that was previously used for less efficient processes. This space can be repurposed for new machines, expansion of existing operations, or for processes that are still manual.

Integration Space: If automation involves the integration of different machines and systems (such as conveyors linking different production stages), additional space might be needed to accommodate these integrations.

Space for Control and Monitoring: Automated systems often require spaces for control units, computers, and monitoring equipment. This might mean setting aside areas for control rooms or stations.

Potential for Scalability: Automated systems are often more scalable than manual operations. As the business grows, it might be easier to add new automated units or scale existing ones within the same space, rather than having to expand the physical footprint of the shop.

In summary, automation in metal fabricating can lead to more efficient use of space, require reconfiguration of the shop floor, increase safety zones, and potentially change storage and control needs. The overall impact on floor space can vary depending on the specific type of automation implemented and the existing layout and processes of the shop.

How to Select the Perfect Carpet

https://emc3d.org/how-to-select-the-perfect-carpet/

Carpet has long been one of the most significant decorative elements. Practically in any housethere will be a place for him – in the living room, bedroom or office. But not only because of its functional advantages, carpets are so popular. Modern technologies and production methods have expanded the range of possibilities so much that the aesthetic appearance of carpets can satisfy a connoisseur with any taste preferences.

If you intend to buy a carpet in the near future, we advise you to do this with the help of our recommendations. Here are a few principles that should guide the choice of this product.

1. Take care of your health Health first. Therefore, when choosing a carpet, be sure to check whether people living in the house are allergic. If not – you have no restrictions, feel free to go to the second paragraph. Otherwise, either buy exclusively synthetic and silk carpets, or generally refrain from this kind of decor.

2. Determine the location In order for the carpet to be appropriate and last as long as possible, you need to take into account exactly which zone it will be located.

For the living room and the nursery, choose low-nap carpets, as they are more resistant to abrasion. In addition, the traces of the furniture on them are not so noticeable.

For the bedroom, you can choose soft woolen carpets with a long pile, covering the entire floor space. Such carpets create comfort and suppress various noises. You can also decorate the bedside space with soft rugs.

For the hallway, select artificial carpets, preferably rubber-based: they are more resistant to abrasion than others. By the way, the drawing on such a carpet very well hides traces of pollution, which is important for the hallway.

China & India Urban Residential Floor Space in 1993, 2002, 2008

Excerpt:

Average income growth has been a key reason behind these different trends in the quality of the housing stock. The urbanisation process in China has transferred large numbers of workers from relatively low productivity jobs in the rural sector to higher productivity jobs in urban areas. This movement has been a driver of the rapid growth in incomes in China over the past three decades, which has far exceeded the growth in incomes in India (Graph  7). Over time, Chinese households have chosen to spend their higher income on higher quality dwellings and dwellings with larger floor space and, as a consequence, the share of concrete dwellings and residential floor space per capita has increased.
