A tour of You Ji Machine’s factory

Big is an understatement when you talk about You Ji Machine Industrial. With over 37 years of experience, I know that the company has a rich experience in making vertical lathes and machining centers but I was not prepared to what I saw. The factory in Kaohsiung city is immense — it’s that big that you must walk to several buildings just to see all their machines.

Beginning

You Ji was established in 1978 at Bali Township, Taipei, producing single function machines, special purpose machines and boring machines. The company then expanded in 1981 and moved to Kaohsiung

According to You Ji, it is the first Taiwan company to develop and build hydraulic system into CNC lathe. In 2011, the company launched 130mm and 150mm spindle quill diameter horizontal boring machine to local and foreign markets; covering Asia, Europe and South American countries.

The company built Heavy duty vertical turning center with hydrostatic table transmission in 2010 and successfully introduced to foreign market; the table diameter ranges from 3 meter to 7 meter.

Manufacturing Cloud Sense: Improving Business Management with Cloud ERP

Just a few years ago, most firms were asking “Why ERP?” and “Why Cloud?” Today, the increasingly important questions about both Cloud and ERP from companies of all sizes and types, in all industries and markets, are “When?” and “How?” The advent and evolution of Cloud-based ERP has catalyzed the adoption of increasingly powerful business management software among firms that previously did not feel it was useful or practical for a firm of their type or size. Many companies have made the transition, which begs the questions:

- What drives Cloud ERP adoption today, including by smaller and mid-size manufacturing firms that traditionally have not taken advantage of ERP - The business "triggers" that drive these firms toward Cloud ERP

- What to look for in solutions and providers in order to maximize the business value that can be accomplished

-Download this report from Saugatuck Technologies, a respected independent research/advisory firm which analyzes why small and mid-size manufacturing companies made the decision to move their ERP solutions to the cloud, and documents their satisfaction with the results after the transition. It also provides guidance about what to look for in cloud-based ERP solutions and providers.

Watch out for IMNA June issue coming soon!

The latest issue of International Metalworking News for Asia (IMNA) E-zine will come out soon.

Here’s what you can expect to find in the upcoming issue of  IMNA.

Enterprise Close-up features Reishauer’s Chairman of the Board Markus Wehrle, has consolidated the company’s leading position in gear grinding, and has further expanded Reishauer’s presence across the globe. Without having a mechanical engineering background himself, Wehrle has nevertheless conceived and executed a series of crucial reforms, which have helped to set the benchmarks in this specific industry.

Dialogue section introduces Alexander Kliegl, Managing Director, Business Unit Technology of DKSH Vietnam. IMNA had a chance to interview Kliegl, during the Hurco and DKSH collaborative open house in Ho Chi Minh City. He talked about the newly opened precision machinery showroom in Binh Chanh district, its partnership with Hurco as well as the newly opened demonstration laboratory.

Renishaw appears in our pages this month. Witness a bi-directional laser calibration run on just one linear axis of a CNC mill conjures up a completely different image. A short 1 m axis can typically take 30 to 60 minutes as the machine axis moves in 10 mm increments and stops to pause and settle before the laser interferometer takes a reading.

If you are grappling with Industry 4.0 and how it can improve your company’s competitiveness, take a moment to read this issue’s Software & Control section. Learn how Industry 4.0 facilitates the vision and execution of a “Smart Factory” where cyber-physical systems monitor physical processes, create a virtual copy of the physical world, and make decentralised decisions.

Other notable feature article is the “Light weight auto design” on page 24. In a joint project, EDAG Engineering GmbH, Laser Zentrum Nord, Concept Laser GmbH and the BLM Group, presented the bionically optimised spaceframe produced by hybrid manufacturing to highlight a new way in which a bodywork concept that is adaptable and can be manufactured flexibly can be produced in order to make the increasing range of different vehicles manageable thanks to the large number of different drives and load stages.
