What transition has the geared motors industry seen over the years since Power Build was established (1972)? How do you view the latest developments in India in the power and energy sector?
Ever since Power Build was founded in 1972, the geared motors sector has undergone a series of changes whose causes are technology, the market’s needs and the nature of industries. Below, we try to illustrate some of those changes encountered throughout the years:
Changes in the Geared Motors Industry
Technological Changes
- Efficiency: Effective design and use of electric motors and gears has been the current trend owing to the aspects of regulation and the market forces of demand for green initiatives.
- Automation and IoT: With the increasing level of automation of the manufacturing processes, the geared motors have been integrated with devices capable of communicating and monitoring the processes enhancing efficiency.
- Materials Science: Technology on the materials used in gear motors has progressed leading to the invention of smaller, lighter but more powerful products.
Market Development
The geared motors market for the first time ever has extended to new territories that are not previously involved in geared motors manufacturing such as wind and solar energy production, food factories and even transport; this is showing more application use.
International Distribution Networks
The internationalization of operations has changed the operations of the supply chains. Manufacturer does not need to produce all components at a single place; different elements can be produced in several countries, which lowered the costs but introduced some difficulties with management of quality control and risks within the supply chains.
Enhanced Usability and Responsiveness
More and more applications of geared motors require that the solutions are designed and supplied in custom tailored categories. This phenomenon has compelled the manufacturers to make more designs that are modular and provide more flexible configurations.
Technological Evolution
Nowadays, a big number of companies have engaged in digitalizing their design and manufacturing processes as well as supply chain activities. This includes the use of simulations and modelling to enhance R&D efficiency.
Trends in the Industrial Sector in India
Government Strategies
Proposals such as ‘Make in India’, Digitalization of India and self-reliance by India encourage manufacturing and innovation thereby requesting firms to manufacture locally and conduct research as well.
Renewable Energy Emphasis
Renewable energy sector is on the rise in India thereby, increasing the need for geared motors in such applications as wind turbines and solar trackers. This is in coherence with the global sustainability agenda.
Emergence of Micro Small and Medium Enterprises
The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector is on the rise and plays a huge part in employment and innovation which in turn generates more use of geared motors in many applications.
Acceptance of Industry 4.0
More Indian industries are embracing the use of smart manufacturing. The use of Internet of Things, and data and automation combined is improving effectiveness and the rates of production.
Infrastructure Growth
Continued growth in the construction of roads, transportation systems and industrial projects is likely to boost sales of geared motors in the construction, transport, and even heavy equipment sectors.
Final Remarks
The industry of geared motors has grown up substantially with the setting of Power Build factories as the focus has shifted towards more creative, effective and adaptive strategies. The Industrial Sector in India is at a turning point strengthened by government policies as well as attention to issues of social development, industrialization through information technology and construction. This is advantageous as well as disadvantageous to firms in the business of manufacturing geared motors, which means they have to be flexible and quick in relation to emerging market changes.
