Solving the productivity puzzle with technology and training from Intertronics
The latest Executive Survey from manufacturers’ organisation EEF clearly confirms a broad recognition of this need. Findings indicate that in order to achieve their business goals in 2017, UK manufacturers will achieve greater productivity in three ways: 1) process innovation 2) investment in technology and innovation, and 3) continued work to ensure flexible supply chains. Often the approach is quite holistic, tackling more than one of these considerations at a time.
56% of survey respondents reported that they will be undertaking process innovations to increase productivity. Medium sized firms (those with 101-250 employees and quite possibly the unsung heroes of our manufacturing economy) are the most likely to do this, with seven in ten citing it as an action they will undertake. Half of companies surveyed said they expect to increase investment in technology and innovation in the next 12 months.
Intertronics says that it is successfully helping both existing and new customers with process innovation in areas such as very fast light curing of adhesives and coatings using UV and/or visible light, and sophisticated mixing and degassing. They are investing in technology and innovation in the form of material application automation and precision, and surface treatment. Customers also enjoy reliable, fast delivery and, where required, flexible shipments, consistent with supply chain efficiency.
Intertronics Managing Director Peter Swanson explains: “Our focus is on the use of advanced engineering adhesives as an efficient and reliable fastening method suited to automated assembly, in the form of our latest materials dispensing and curing technologies. For example, UV/visible light cure adhesives that cure in seconds, THINKY mixing and degassing equipment, alternative dispensing technologies, our range of dispensing robots and advanced surface treatment techniques are all helping manufacturing companies at all levels of automation maturity to enhance their processes and productivity.”
Intertronics organises regular seminars to demonstrate how the latest technologies and products can play a major role in this. In addition, the company’s Oxford-based Technology Centre is in constant use, enabling both design and production engineers to evaluate and compare adhesives, coatings, sealants and equipment in the context of their assemblies and processes – enhancing competitiveness, product quality and reputation.

Franklin Electric, a leading international manufacturer of water and fuel pumps, faced a difficult challenge when tasked with optimising dispensing processes at their Czech production site.
The objective was to reduce the waste of UV curing material during the application process. Dispensing equipment previously used by Franklin Electric had been very inaccurate, creating unnecessary waste, high material costs and additional cleaning efforts.
After completing preliminary tests, the team at Franklin Electric were…
WACKER ELASTOSIL® N9111 tin free silicone from Intertronics avoids conflicting …
WACKER ELASTOSIL® N9111 from Intertronics is a tin-free single part RTV silicone adhesive sealant, with a neutral cure chemistry, producing a non-corrosive seal that does not inhibit other materials such as platinum cure silicones. This, along with its UL94 V-0 rating, makes it a strong candidate for electronics manufacturing, especially for gap filling, component ruggedisation, and form-in-place gasketing. It is stocked in depth at Intertronics for next-day delivery.
Elastosil N9111 is…
preeflow precision dispensing system from Intertronics improves quality and redu …
The automobile manufacturing industry places high demands on suppliers with regard to process reliability, quality and efficiency. To meet these challenges, a preeflow customer had to optimise his application of a two-part sealant to make a form-in-place (FIP) gasket. In his previous process, the dispensed sealant bead exceeded the tolerance limits at the point where the gasket loop completed and the sealant overlapped itself. In addition, a key process variable…

Solving pharma dosing challenges through smart automation
Peptides play a critical role in the modern physician's toolkit. But peptides and related substances present unique manufacturing challenges. Small quantities of expensive materials are typically hand-measured: Product is moved from a single-source container to a fixed target-weight batch in a time-consuming and error-prone method that often results in costly overfills. Is there a better way?
Manually, sale weights ranging from 1 mg to several-100 mg often require 2 to 3…
