Deep Interpretation Of The Future Direction Of Intelligent Manufacturing（Three）

4. Intelligent production line

Companies in many industries rely heavily on automated production lines such as steel, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, tobacco, chip manufacturing, electronic assembly, automotive and parts manufacturing to achieve automated processing, assembly and inspection, and production of some mechanical standard parts. Automated production lines, such as bearings, are also used. However, equipment manufacturing companies are still dominated by discrete manufacturing. The key point of technological transformation of many enterprises is to establish automated production lines, assembly lines and inspection lines. U.S. Boeing’s aircraft assembly plant has established a U-shaped pulsating assembly line. Automated production lines can be divided into rigid automated production lines and flexible automated production lines, and flexible automated production lines generally have buffers. In order to improve production efficiency, industrial robots and hanging systems are increasingly used in automated production lines.

5. Intelligent workshop

A shop usually has multiple production lines that either produce similar parts or products or have an upstream and downstream assembly relationship. In order to realize the intelligence of the workshop, it is necessary to collect and analyze the information such as production status, equipment status, energy consumption, production quality and material consumption in real time, perform efficient scheduling and reasonable scheduling, and significantly improve equipment utilization (OEE). Therefore, no matter what manufacturing industry, manufacturing execution system (MES) becomes an inevitable choice for enterprises.
