Ian Hickman, Metal Craft Industries Uk Ltd. My principal job is product engineering, I have worked at MCI for nigh on thirty years and my engineering experience built within the industry of Sub Contract Engineering manufacturing has seen many changes: understanding our customer’s needs with the peaks and troughs and to take the unpredictable in my stride. MCI offer a personal service, we work on behalf customers turning their concepts in to products.

I like problem solving, and the fact that every problem is different. No two customer projects are the same each project has unique problems that we look to solved in different ways. I also like to move our engineering forward, keeping up with new technology and developing new manufacturing methods to every project. I like to keep learning something new and putting it in to practice with my engineering team. Sub contract product sheetmetal engineering is definitely a team effort, and I like working with all my colleagues on the team to make projects successful.
The great thing about being an engineer at MCI we get such a variety of products to make and figuring out best methods to satisfy the end user is my satisfaction, MCI is a company that supports continual learning by supporting formal training, but also through the informal transfer of knowledge to and from colleagues, designers and engineers with whom I am in daily contact with. I am always amazed at the level engineering expertise at this company and the willingness of everyone to share it.
I see myself as a manufacturing engineer. I decided to become an engineer because I always enjoyed making things and problem solving and figuring out how things work and to prove to myself that I really could do it better and build products better and more efficiently, and make our Lasers, punches, brake presses weld assemblies, tube benders and finishes more productive and to help designers to achieve their objectives. What I enjoy most about being an engineer is that each day brings a new challenge which requires continuous learning and looking forward to our new tubular laser being installed May 5th, roll on. ...

My first week back with one of my colleagues from three great days of robot training. We were very impressed with Yaskawa their professionalism was first class. The training was packed with the tools we needed to succeed. The theory and desk programming work along with the hands-on practice, gave us the confidence we were looking for.

I really liked the way the course was set up, emphasizing the safety aspects related to robot operations. The outline of the course was designed to get our robotic brake pressing up and running, so we made huge steps in just three days of training. I am buoyed up to get back to the works to put our training in to practice. We definitely would not hesitate on taking more training.

We find the advantages of automation and robots does not end there; our lasers and punch presses are all lights out and they have also created jobs. Looking back three years, I was just one of the many doubters, who had the misconception that robots would take away jobs, but I know now that is not true. In our case Robots have created new jobs. Taking people away from repetitive, monotonous jobs and putting them in better, more challenging ones.

Our role as sub-contract engineers has changed drastically over the past ten years, our technology and the way we work with our customers. Design and manufacturing go together, designers want to spend time with our engineers often with their sketch pads, long before setting up on their Cad and Solid works programs to finalise their design. Our input developing products for the optimum in manufacturing techniques and product sustainability. Working as a team promote innovation and productivity the bye word of our industry. Designers now look to build relationships direct with manufacturing, using the best technology to feed their new opportunities and grow with the market thirst for innovation sparked by their customer’s concepts. Manufacturing is entering a new phase. As a new world consuming class emerges in developing nations, and sparks off new wave. Just about everything we see around us today engineering and design has a played a big part in it, the machinery available Lasers, Robots, CNC, Cad and Solid works programs all helps our engineers and designers to turn our concepts in to objects that turn our wheels.
