ElectroMech: Enormous plant of herculean effort

By July 16, 2015 11:05 am IST

In a visit to the ElectroMech plant in the Pune area, OEM Update saw the magnificent plant sprawled over an area of 80,000 sq. metres buzzing with activity and innovation
 ElectroMech was established in 1979 and today claims to be the largest manufacturer for industrial overhead cranes in India by volume as well as value. It provides material handling solutions for manufacturing, infrastructure, construction, oil and gas, power and steel industries. ElectroMech has a diversified list of client spread across 35 countries.
Several processes and innovations have been deployed at the plant to produce high quality cranes.
A plant replete with technology and innovationAs we take a look around, Tushar Mehendale, Managing Director, ElectroMech Material Handling Systems (India), briefed us on the intricate details of the functioning of the plant. He told us about the processes, logistics and technologies that are involved in the plant.
Highlighting the uniqueness of the ElectroMech plant, Mr Mehendale, said, “The plant is sprawled over an area of 80,000 sq. metres, with a covered area of 20,000 sq. metres. It is the largest of its kind for the manufacturing of industrial cranes and the first of its kind in India to adopt a unitised process flow for the material. It is an adoption of the assembly line concept, where the raw materials come into one end and the finished goods leave at the other end.”
We then took a quick look at the material input area. Speaking of the storage area for the components, Mr Mehendale explained, “The material input area is where all the parts come from outside. Several of the high value components are stored in vertical racks, which is served by a stacker crane, operated through a remote control. It is made with a view of using vertical space, which most manufacturing facilities have an abundance of! A fork lift is not used here for several reasons. It can’t reach very high. Also if it is diesel operated, it leads to pollution and if it is battery operated, it will lead to a lot of downtime.”
