Changes in the Auto Industry
Few industries experience the ebb and flow of change like the automotive industry. From engineering and design trends to mandates in fuel economy and passenger safety, automobile manufacturers – along with their myriad suppliers – have learned to adapt to the dynamic climate to survive.
Operations that used to generate weld fumes from manual weld stations now generate twice the fumes with the addition of automated robotic welding cells. Factories that used to machine or mill a handful of essential parts now produce entire catalogues of components for automakers.
While transformation is good for the industry, the diversification of processes introduces a legion of new dust, fume and mist collection challenges for plant managers, fabricators, and environmental health and safety professionals.
