Innovations in fixed plant equipment installations

January 31, 2024

Industrial machinery is continuously evolving, and with each new advancement, it’s important to understand them and how you can incorporate them during the installation of fixed plant equipment. Significant innovations in industrial machinery have led to improved efficiency, safety, and productivity, and in this blog, we delve into these groundbreaking achievements and see how they are shaping the future of industrial fixed plant installations.



How automation and modern technology are changing the game


One of the most significant shifts in recent years is the integration of digital technologies into installation processes. Advanced 3D modelling and simulation software is now used to plan and visualise the entire installation process, allowing for precise placement, efficient space utilisation, and identification of potential issues before they arise, ensuring a smoother installation process.


Leading on from this, automation has taken a front seat in modern installations. The use of robotics, particularly in the handling and positioning of heavy machinery, has not only increased precision but also improved worker safety. Robots equipped with sensors and guided by artificial intelligence can perform complex installation tasks with high accuracy, reducing the risk of human error.


With the complexity of modern machinery, training for installation teams has also evolved. Virtual and augmented reality are being utilised for training purposes, allowing technicians and engineers to gain hands-on experience in a controlled, virtual environment, ultimately leading to better-prepared teams and more efficient, error-free installations.
