Ranal Engineering Services: Global Partner for end-to-end Engineering Services

By

Automotive manufacturing engineering industry operations has become extremely complex because of sophisticated technologies. Over the years, automation has become an essential part of automobile weld shops and assembly plants. Manufacturing new models and introducing new variants with cycle time constraints in existing body shops, requires state-of-the-art technological methods, tools and processes with right implementation plans. A typical assembly plant uses several hundred robots to build an automobile body. This calls for extensive use of collaborative designs and simulation techniques to make robotic cells operate in an accurate and synchronized manner and reduce ergonomic concerns with improved safety, quality and productivity. This makes suppliers of automotive manufacturing industries play a vital role in understanding the complexities and developing solutions that are optimal and cost competitive.

To address these challenges and provide technology solutions, services and resources around emerging and industry proven Information Technology areas, Ranal Engineering Services Pvt Ltd was set up by Rakesh Mahajan and Ramesh Chandra. Incepted in the year 2000, Ranal is an end-to-end engineering design services organization catering to global Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier-X suppliers. “Our focus is on entire ambit of manufacturing engineering - processing, design and simulation services that caters to the industry and makes us one of the global leaders in a competitive position,” says Ramesh Chandra, MD – India Operations. The company operates in some of the specialized domains such as Virtual Manufacturing Engineering, Digital Manufacturing, Manufacturing Measurement Strategy Development, Manufacturing Data Management, Tooling and Fixture Design, Die Design, Robotics, Virtual Assembly Planning, Process Audits, Simultaneous Engineering and Simulation.

An Edge over Others
After a prolonged length of time, company has its very clearly defined global project execution and delivery process. Each resource of Ranal is trained in domain, technology and tools in its own internal training center and they also undergo regular trainings on technology advancements. What makes Ranal stand out in the crowd is their well trained and experienced resources, distinctive execution and delivery processes, efficiency of teams to implement end-to-end projects and accessibility and expertise for using most recent tools.
The firm has earned an immense amount of trust from many prestigious clientele located in various geographical territories such as North America, South America, Europe and Asia. Almost all major automotive OEMs such as VW, BMW, Renault, Volvo, GM, Ford, Chrysler etc. are few of the major end clients of Ranal.
Currently Ranal’s main focus is to progress further in the field manufacturing engineering services and position it as - the most valuable and technically competent company. Most of its operations today are centered around automotive and heavy engineering domains. Company is also making some inroads into the field of aerospace and in upcoming 3 years, it is expected to be a prominent player in it along with maintaining its leadership in automotive manufacturing engineering.

The Road Ahead
Manufacturing engineering combined with digital manufacturing offers a lot of growth opportunities for the future. As Ranal has been a strong player in both of these areas, the objective of the company is to be able to set up virtual manufacturing plants, simulate each entity within it and predict the behavior that in turn help manufacturing industries to build optimum, worker and environment friendly, efficient and cost-effective manufacturing plants in the competitive market place.
