Farnell colleagues have raised more than £4000 for a Leeds hospice after completing a charity walk in memory of a colleague who sadly passed away last year.

Jason Stokes joined Farnell in 2012 in the role of Technical Content Editor before going on to deliver the role of Product Manager. On 20^th November 2022, Jason died after bravely battling a rare form of cancer and, in his memory, colleagues from Farnell have undertaken a charity walk to raise funds on behalf of St Gemma’s Hospice, where Jason spent his final days.

Starting at Farnell’s head office, 21 colleagues completed the 21 mile route around Leeds in 6.5 hours, taking in some landmarks across the city that were significant to Jason including his first house, Headingly cricket stadium, St Gemma’s Hospice and Elland Road, the home of his beloved Leeds United. At the time of writing, a total of £4,157 + £596 in GiftAid has been raised.

Joshua Ahern, Farnell Product Manager for Interconnect, said: “Jason was a much-loved colleague and friend to many at Farnell and we are proud to have raised so much money for a fantastic cause in his memory. The money donated will help fund the amazing team at St Gemma’s Hospice and, although the care they gave Jason in his final days can never be repaid, we hope that the funds donated will help.”

St. Gemma’s Hospice provides expert medical and nursing care for people with life threatening illnesses, predominantly cancer, along with support for their families and loved ones. The Hospice cares for thousands of local people each year, totally free of charge, so it relies on the generosity of the community to fund its vital services.

Hannah Corne, Corporate Fundraising Manager at St Gemma’s Hospice, said: “We are incredibly grateful to the team at Farnell for supporting the work of the Hospice by taking part in this poignant event in Jason’s memory. Every penny of this amazing total raised will ensure that people like Jason receive expert care and support when they need it. The Hospice would not exist without the kindness of our community, so many thanks to everyone involved.”

RS, an omni-channel provider of product and service solutions including maintenance solutions and safety solutions, has released the ‘Industry in Motion’ 2023 Maintenance Engineering Report, in conjunction with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), based on findings from a survey that aimed to ‘take the pulse’ of the profession.

The survey was conducted among more than 1,200 IMechE members and the report focuses on the responses of almost 700 people in the UK and Ireland. The respondents were from sectors including manufacturing and are working in job roles like engineering manager. The resulting report covers five key areas: monitoring maintenance engineering, skills, the true cost of breakdowns, raising performance through stakeholder collaboration, and harnessing technology to improve efficiency.

The top three challenges respondents cited as expecting to affect them over the next 12 months were attracting talent (47 per cent), inflation and higher costs (47 per cent), and supply chain disruption (40 per cent). But the report also delves into a key issue: drivers of unscheduled downtime and its cost to a business. Ageing assets and mechanical failures are the biggest drivers of unscheduled downtime, and the report revealed:

• Nearly 20 hours are spent each week on unscheduled maintenance, compared with around 18 hours spent each week on scheduled maintenance
• The average hourly cost of downtime is £5,121.81 (ranges from c. £1,700 to £7.5k depending on size of business)
• The average weekly cost of unscheduled downtime is £100,371
• Organisations need to get a grip on maintenance spend, as nearly a third of respondents do not know what proportion of their annual operating budget is spent on maintenance; 30 per cent state approximately five to 10 per cent is spent.

Survey respondents cited the highest priority plans for decreasing unscheduled downtime as upgrading equipment (48 per cent) and widening monitoring capabilities (46 per cent). In a bid to further tackle the issue, planned maintenance has emerged as the number one company strategy in place, deemed the highest priority by 53 per cent of respondents.

Emma Botfield, managing director for RS in the UK and Ireland, said: “The challenges facing businesses today mean that maintenance engineers are even more critical to manufacturing success, while under pressure to do more with their existing resources which often include ageing assets. They’re also firefighting because of the geopolitical environment and its effect on supply chains.”

The issue of an ageing skilled workforce and a large age gap to the next engineers coming through was highlighted in the report. Meanwhile, Millennials – a group that made up more than half of the respondent pool – are reaching key decision-making positions within organisations. “These Millennials hold a real opportunity to affect change and should work with stakeholders and suppliers to find fresh solutions, and tackle maintenance problems that may be keeping them up at night head-on,” Botfield added.

 According to data from Engineering UK, people aged between 25 and 34 now constitute the largest single age group in engineering roles.

Lydia Amarquaye, Professional Development and Education Policy Advisor at the IMechE, said: “Millennials have grown up with different technologies and they will be trying to implement some of these in their work to make life more efficient for themselves. I think we’re going to see the effects of this shift coming through in the way that businesses are conducted, as it plays into management styles. So, I think it is going to be exciting for the industry as a whole.” 

It is widely recognised that outsourcing maintenance requirements can help organisations overcome issues like skills shortages. The report found that more than 60 per cent of respondents are outsourcing some form of maintenance requirement, with a gap in skills being the top two reasons.

On digital transformation, only 16 per cent of respondents stated they use Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and fewer than one in five respondents said their company is planning a digital transformation in the next 12 months. However, RS believes this is because terms like IIoT and digital transformation aren’t ones operational maintenance people use. Condition monitoring, which uses IIoT, is being employed, according to more than half of the respondents. The top two technologies are vibration measurement – used by 44 per cent of respondents – and current monitoring, used by 43 per cent. The main benefits cited from using these technologies are understanding asset health (68 per cent) and better prediction of failures (53 per cent).

Botfield concluded: “This report shows that in the face of a multitude of challenges, maintenance engineers are keeping the wheels of UK industry turning and facing up to these challenges. They should aim to bolster efforts by working with trusted suppliers who  understand what they are trying to achieve and where the pain points lie. This will allow them to achieve the best value for money for the organisation.”

The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), is a global organisation with around 115,000 members, and holds the mission to improve the world through engineering.

Precision bearing specialists Carter Manufacturing are delighted to be building on their tier 1 supplier status in designing and manufacturing specialist aerospace bearing and tooling products for global aviation applications. A good example of this is a recent agreement with aviation giant Boeing where Carter Americas are supplying all-access proof load test torque testing tools, in addition to discussing options for also supplying swivel torque tools.

Designed and manufactured by Carters’ UNASIS division these specialist bearing tools offer solutions that were not previously available, helping to increase safety and the longevity of the bearings in service. Furthermore, Carter are proud to have partnered with Boeing in designing and manufacturing a custom turnkey portable proof load test solution to work across a range of over 30 of their most popular bearings.

The proof load test is a mandatory quality control process defined by a Boeing process specification BAC5435 which is conducted by measuring the axial deflection of the bearing housing under a defined load. If the bearings move more than 0.003 inches (0.0762mm) in either direction, the bearing installation has failed and must be replaced. These innovative (and essential) load test procedures underline Carter’s aviation bearing expertise, especially in proof load tools.

The key benefit of the All-Access style kit is that it is designed for the smallest possible tool footprint and it’s highly interchangeable. This specific load tool design was developed for the MRO market to enable the tools to fit into extremely restricted on-wing locations, such as blocker doors and ailerons. To achieve this custom miniature load cells were designed and manufactured on their proprietary behalf as this solution is not commercially available anywhere else. Boeing acknowledged this as an important advantage as it seamlessly translates to clearance restrictions on new manufactured components as well.

Additionally, the adaptor style design means the number of components are minimised for the largest possible range of bearings, thereby significantly reducing the cost for proof load tool kits capable of testing a wide range of bearings.

Carter hold a large range of proof load test tools in stock at their facilities in the US, UK and Spain to ensure rapid international shipment. They also offer custom design and manufacturing capabilities with AOG service for urgent programs.

In addition to Aerospace bearing tools, Carter also offer Custom Aerospace Bearings for custom projects or PMA programs.
