Over the last three years, a team of engineers and apprentices at Schaeffler UK's manufacturing plant in Llanelli, South Wales, has successfully implemented a range of new automation systems across the plant. These systems have helped to improve the efficiency of individual machines and complete production lines, as well as helping to reduce manual handling, remove bottlenecks from production, and to reduce manufacturing throughput times.
Interestingly, the team itself comprises three engineers, all of who began their careers at Llanelli on the apprenticeship scheme. The team, which was established in 2010, possesses a blend of engineering skills and experience to help tackle every type of automation project that the plant requires.
Amazingly, the team also boasts a combined experience of 57 years at Llanelli. Darran Williams (automation technician and team leader) has worked at the plant for 25 years, Mark Williams (CNC machining specialist) for 17 years and Grant Nicholas (fabrication specialist) for 15 years. Darran and Mark have been part of the automation team from the beginning, with Grant joining two years ago. Periodically, the team receives extra help from its own pool of apprentices
