SEPTEMBER 20216 MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY INSIGHTSThe COVID-19 pandemic has been impacting the global economy devastatingly, subsequently resulting in a collapse in vehicle and equipment sales, usage, and tire production and trade. Further, tire materials consumption has also fallen in lockstep with tire manufacturing in the supply chain, resulting in lower prices for natural and synthetic rubber as well as other critical commodities. However, the cutting-edge developments that the tire manufacturing sector has been witnessing in recent years will enable businesses to wade through this crisis and improve their prospects in the new normal. On that front, the rising customer expectations and increasing manufacturer demands will undoubtedly propel the sector to embrace advanced technologies further in the coming years. These technologies, in turn, would put forth a diverse range of benefits, including flexible sidewalls and less rolling resistance, for the consumers. As consumers increasingly expect faster delivery times today, tire manufacturers will develop and integrate new processes to make delivery more efficient and swift. Besides, the growing incorporation of nanocomposites, plasma surface modified carbon black, and computer simulation techniques will continue to improve tire manufacturing. Further, automation, in conjunction with intelligent artificial intelligence (AI) software like learning algorithms, will assist manufacturers in meeting the challenges of global competition and consolidation.In this edition of Manufacturing Technology Insights, we bring you the story of some of the most promising rubber and tire tech solution providers that deliver the best outcomes for their clients.
