昆山Automated industry

In the process of manufacturing development abroad, industrial automation occupies an important part of its production, and the ratio of industrial robots per unit far exceeds the international standard of 55, but the application of domestic manufacturing automation is far behind this standard, and China has a long way to go on the road of industrial automation.

1. Improve production efficiency

2. Reduce labor costs

3. Energy conservation and emission reduction

4. Reduce the labor intensity of workers

5. Improve product quality and stability

6. Shorten the production cycle

Ways and means of automatic transformation

In the future, enterprises need to adjust production capacity flexibly according to market demand, achieve personalized customization, and manufacture intelligent products.

1. Integration of automation and informatization

This can not only rely on automation technology to achieve, but also rely on information technology to solve problems at the business level, give wisdom to the factory, and provide basis and support for market decision-making, data analysis, judgment, regulation, quality control, after-sales service, etc. Automation must be combined with information to play its role, otherwise simple automation is meaningless.

2. Improve the intelligence of equipment

Manufacturing equipment has experienced mechanical equipment to CNC equipment, and is now gradually developing into intelligent equipment. The intelligent equipment has the detection function, which can realize the detection on the machine, so as to compensate the processing error, improve the processing accuracy, and also compensate the thermal deformation.

3. Improve the intelligence of the production line

The application of intelligent production line in China's manufacturing enterprises is still in its infancy, but it is inevitably the direction of development.

4. Improve the intelligence of the workshop

A workshop usually has multiple production lines, which either produce similar parts or products, or have upstream and downstream assembly relationships. In order to realize the intelligent workshop, it is necessary to collect and analyze the production status, equipment status, energy consumption, production quality, material consumption and other information in real time, carry out efficient production scheduling and reasonable scheduling, and significantly improve the equipment utilization rate (OEE).

Therefore, no matter what the manufacturing industry, manufacturing execution system (MES) has become the inevitable choice for enterprises. MES is a shop-level integrated management system that can help enterprises significantly improve equipment utilization, improve product quality, achieve production process traceability and error prevention, and improve production efficiency.

5. Improve the intelligence of the factory

Automated production lines and lots of robots are not smart factories. As a smart factory, not only the production process should be automated, transparent, visual, lean, at the same time, product testing, quality inspection and analysis, production logistics should also be closed loop integration with the production process. Multiple workshops in a factory should realize information sharing, on-time distribution, and collaborative work.

Some discrete manufacturing enterprises have also established a production command center similar to that of a process manufacturing enterprise to command and dispatch the entire factory to discover and solve sudden problems in a timely manner, which is also an important sign of a smart factory. Smart factories must rely on seamless integrated information system support, mainly including PLM, ERP, CRM, SCM and MES five core systems. Intelligent factories of large enterprises need to use ERP system to make production plans for multiple workshops, and MES system to schedule production in detail according to the production plans of each workshop.
