Fiber producers need to be ready for even more fiber product manufacturing. The automotive and aerospace markets are two of the largest carbon fiber buyers. Government subsidies will drive down carbon fiber costs to make lighter-weight vehicles and equipment, such as buses, wind turbines, and compressed gas storage tanks. Lately, medical supply manufacturers have invested in nonwoven fibers for producing personal protective equipment (PPE) like masks, gowns, and other products.

Industry leaders predict that aerospace, automotive, and industrial markets will continue to demand carbon fiber for carbon parts and products to reduce weight and improve strength. Even though fiber processing lines take time and investment to enter the market, experts predict that the demand will only increase, and fiber producers need to be agile.

Fiber processing automation means using automated equipment like robotics, sensors, and artificial intelligence to make fiber composites faster, more safely, and more efficiently than traditional equipment. JR Automation helps fiber suppliers make their products with custom equipment designed to meet strict specifications. From extrusion, spinning, bonding, and melting to collecting and packaging, automation can improve fiber manufacturing processes.

Our customers work with large fiber product manufacturers in the commercial aerospace, defense, automotive, and medical industries to supply lightweight and robust fiber. Our customers make carbon fibers, nonwoven fibers, and more.

Like many industries, the demand for efficient, safe, and high-quality products is a growing challenge for the fiber industry. Because of the high cost of investment and time to market, fiber suppliers have to anticipate future demand and make decisions now. Integrating automated equipment to support lean manufacturing will set your organization up for success in the future.
