The Future Of Pneumatics In The Construction Industry<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

It can be rare in the world of construction to find an industry that has been as stable as the pneumatics industry. Whilst in previous decades, manufacturers have often experienced extreme peaks and troughs in demand and production due to nature of the fluctuating housing markets; pneumatics has continued to remain steady.<\/p>\n

In the face of a global recession and even a decline in manufacturing and investment, pneumatics has stood strong helping bolster and better the construction industry – which has been heavily and publicly scrutinised across cost-effectiveness, productivity and sustainability.<\/p>\n

Global Effects<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whilst the UK, Germany and Eastern Europe and Asian sectors have often led the way in pneumatic manufacture and development, it appears that, on a regional scale, it is the local activities and local markets which are helping to restore many economies as opposed to market leaders. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the UK construction industry, for example, the effect of the recession has hit markets differently with growth rates reducing significantly. With housing and buildings no longer a worthwhile investment for investors and big-name conglomerates, they were no longer willing to fund such projects.<\/p>\n

Economic Plight & Reduced Growth Rates<\/strong><\/p>\n

This left many construction companies and manufactures left with the question of reinvigorating interest in their products and services. Whilst some companies had no choice but to offload staff and in-house engineering capabilities, a new market opened up, with a greater emphasis being placed on solutions that will not only enhance the productivity of construction, but offered sustainable incentives. <\/span><\/p>\n

A Change In Approach\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pneumatic manufacturers sought to no longer simply distribute and supply pneumatic components and equipment, but aided their services with maintenance, repair and scheduled logistic services that would create a complete and more appealing service.<\/p>\n

Small distributors began to evolve, engineering service companies began to grow and relationships that had since broken down in the collapse of the housing and construction market were once again reformed. Only this time, fluid power distributors could offer much more than high-tech components.<\/p>\n

Technological Advancements<\/strong><\/p>\n

High tech products are complimented with high tech services. Electronics have become an integral part of many, if not all pneumatic systems, gauging sophisticated processes such as speed control, positioning capability and actuator management. These are all designed with the end-user in mind who, in many instances, won\u2019t possess the serviceable skills needed to engineer repairs or replacements should they be necessary.<\/p>\n

A complete service now offers a complete career as smaller enterprises can begin to take on apprentices and junior staff thanks to a new surge in growth. Not only that, they can recruit engineers and specialists that can help progress fluid power design, business operations, resources and services. Whilst at the start of the recession companies were looking to reduce in size whilst maintaining their services, now they can look to expand and invest in their services and thankfully, employment.<\/p>\n

The Future\u2019s Bright\u2026<\/p>\n

What would appear, in summary, is that the future of pneumatics may not be as high-tech or product-heavy as one may think. Technologies and systems have continued to develop, even in economic demise. What has changed most significantly is the service that is provided, now accommodating for a new demand of new users with new construction and maintenance requirements.<\/p>\n
