As a Mechanical Engineer in XYZ manufacturing, I've worked on numerous design and optimization projects. One of my most innovative work involved redesigning the production line conveyor system. The existing system had inefficiencies and was prone to frequent breakdowns affecting our production schedules.
Using principles from Kinematics and Dynamics, I've initiated an approach to adjust the conveyor belt's gear mechanism to reduce the stress on the system, thereby extending its lifespan. We replaced the traditional conveyor rollers with motorized rollers that distribute power more evenly, reducing energy consumption of the entire system.
After implementing this new design, the number of breakdowns significantly decreased by 40% and the efficiency of the conveyor system increased by 15%. The improvements led to a direct positive impact on our productivity.
