The impact of the industry of the construction in the sector of the manufacture of machinery

The fair of CONSTRUMAT is an important international event devoted to the construction and the architecture. It celebrates in Barcelona and is organised by the Fira of Barcelona. This event gathers to professionals of the sector, including architects, engineers, constructors, manufacturers of materials of construction and other parts interested; to present and argue the last innovations, tendencies and technologies in the industry of the construction. With the aim to promote the industry of the construction, boost the collaboration among the professionals of the sector and promote sustainable and efficient practices that can apply in projects of construction of all type.

They are convinced that the construction and the rehabilitation are a key piece to face the social challenges, economic and environmental current, and therefore they put the focus in the sustainability, the digitalisation and the innovation in the construction. Betting by solutions like the accessibility, the energetic efficiency and/or the materials of vicinity to improve the life of the people. An only date that connects thousands of professionals of all the ecosystem of the sector with the novelties and innovations that already are a success in the market.

The adoption of sustainable practices in the industry of the construction also has a significant impact in the industrial state of the manufacture of machinery.

Here they describe some ways in that this approach reflects in the manufacture of machinery:

1. Development of Efficient Machinery Energetically

Optimisation of Energetic Consumption: Manufacture of machinery that consumes less energy, using engines more efficient and technologies that reduce the consumption during his operation.
Renewable energies: Integration of systems of renewable energy in the machinery, like squads fed by solar or hybrid energy, that can operate with less dependency of fuels fossils.

2. Use of Sustainable Materials

Materials Recycled: Use of materials recycled in the manufacture of machinery, reducing the need of prime matters virgins and diminishing the environmental impact.
Materials of Low Impact Acclimatisesl: Selection of materials that have a minor environmental impact during his cycle of life, like light alloys and biodegradable materials.

3. Reduction of Emissions and Waste in the Production

Processes of Production Cleaner: Implementation of technologies of production that reduce the emissions of gases of effect invernadero and other contaminantes, like the use of ovens of low emission in the foundry of metals.
Management of Waste: Development of systems to manage and recycle the waste of the manufacture, minimising the quantity of waste sent to dumps.

4. Design for the Sustainability

Ecodiseño: Design of machinery that facilitates his recycling and desmontaje at the end of his useful life, reducing the environmental impact of his waste.
Durability and Reparabilidad: Manufacture of squads more durable and easy to repair, what prolongs his useful life and reduces the need of frequent replacements.

5. Efficiency in the Production

Automation and Digitalisation: Use of technologies of automation and digitalisation (Industry 4.0) to optimise the processes of manufacture, reducing the consumption of energy and resources.
Additive production: Implementation of technologies of impression 3D and other forms of manufactura additive that allow to reduce the waste of materials and improve the efficiency of the production.

6. Certifications and Environmental Rules

Normative fulfillment: Ensure that the processes of manufacture and the products fulfil with the environmental rules and of sustainability, as ISO 14001 for environmental management.
Certifications of Product: Obtaining of certifications that show the commitment with the sustainability, like the marked CE, that guarantees the compliance with the European standards.

7. Technological innovation

Technologies Advanced: Development of machinery instrumented with technologies advanced, like sensors IoT, that allow to monitor and optimise the use of energy and resources in real time.
Electrificación And Automation: Increase in the production of electrical machinery and automated that it can reduce significantly the emissions during his operation.

8. Supply and Chain of Sustainable Value

Sourcing Responsible: Selection of providers that fulfil with standards of sustainability, ensuring that the materials and components obtain of responsible way.
Transparency and Trazabilidad: Implementation of systems to track the origin and the chain of supply of the materials, promoting the transparency and the environmental responsibility.

9. Education and Enabling

Formation in Sustainability: Enabling of the employees in sustainable practices and green technologies, ensuring that all the chain of value was ranged with the aims of sustainability.
Collaboration and Alliances: Participation in industrial initiatives and associations that promote the sustainability, sharing knowledges and better practical with other actors of the sector.

In synthesis, the sustainability in the construction and the increasing demand of responsible practices influence directly in the industry of the manufacture of machinery. This translates in the development of squads more efficient and sustainable, processes of production cleaner and a general approach to the reduction of the environmental impact, promoting the innovation and the competitiveness in the sector.
