Design to Installation
Thread Content
I have been working in equipment design for 8 years and am now the technical lead in R&D. Recently, one of the installation engineers in the installation department left, and I’m thinking about taking on that role. After all, it seems that the income from installation is a bit higher (there are subsidies for installation, as well as reimbursements and such). It can also enrich on-site experience. Hesitantly~~~~
I’m currently working on installation on site. In the future, I want to get involved in equipment design but I’m not sure what I need to prepare. Please give me some advice
I don’t know what you do; I work with drying equipment. For equipment, having knowledge of two or three drawing software programs is a basic requirement; in addition, one needs to have a thorough understanding of one’s own equipment. For example, when designing a reducer, one should know where the parameters for each gear come from, why certain materials are chosen, and why specific bearings are selected for use. Installation probably only requires being able to read diagrams and assemble the equipment, along with completing the debugging. When debugging proves difficult, one can turn to the designer for support after all, and the designer not only knows what to do but also understands why. I think this should be a basic capability that design must achieve.
I graduated from university just one year ago, and I am currently working on CNOOC’s polypropylene project; I know how to use CAD and SolidWorks for drawing. It seems that a few years of experience in on-site installation is sufficient, right? But I can’t get involved in design work; I wonder how I should practice in my free time. I’m worried all the time...
From design to installation – have you passed the first-level constructor exam? You can consider it later, but it’s better not to; at least wait until you pass the exam before making the change.
For our installation, a more sophisticated design is what’s really needed; we dream of being able to work on such designs, but you…
Great expert, please take me on as your employee. I have six years of experience in field work and frontline production, one year of research experience; I’m proficient in CAD, skilled in SW, and familiar with Office
