    The importance and advantages of industrial automation production


    Summary:

    With the rapid development of science and technology and the increasingly fierce competition in the global market, industrial enterprises are facing the challenge of improving production efficiency and reducing costs. In this context, industrial automation production has become a trend and solutions that cannot be ignored.

    Why automate industrial production lines?

    Usually in line with the use of industrial automation production line conditions are: high demand for products, the need for mass production of stable product design, because the automatic production line can not adapt to frequent design changes long product life, usually for multiple operations, multiple operations, involving multiple workstations.

    Industrial automated production lines are typically used for high throughput of parts that require multiple machining operations. The production line itself consists of logically dispersed workstations in the factory. These workstations are connected by a mechanized work transportation system, and its automation system transports parts from one workstation to another in a predetermined production sequence. In the case of machining operations, such as drilling, milling and similar rotary tool processes, they are carried out at specific workstations.

    The development of machinery and equipment, electronic production, petrochemical, light industry and textile, catering, medicine, military manufacturing, automobile industry and other enterprises are inseparable from the leading and supporting role of automated production lines. Automated production lines are the lifeline of modern industry.

    There are three types of automation in industrial production: fixed automation, programmable automation and flexible automation.

    Industrial automation production lines consist of distributed workstations, connected by a mechanized work transfer system that moves parts from one workstation to another when they enter the system. As an example of fixed automation, the layout of an industrial automation production line is relatively difficult to change. Once it is established in a production plant environment, it is not easy to change its layout.

    Advantages of industrial automation production lines

    1. Higher productivity

    When increasing productivity, it is beneficial to look at the entire system design, identify bottlenecks and work to overcome them. A good automation system can solve these problems. A simple example of a production part is the way the ingredients are metered. Suppose there is a product composed of ten different ingredients, and the current system measures each ingredient separately. An automated system that measures all ten components simultaneously will increase the speed of each production run.

    (2) Increased productivity

    How long does it take for an industrial automation production line to identify a fault or malfunction in the system and correct this situation? Generally, increasing productivity means reducing downtime, because when we encounter a fault, there will be no production capacity. With a properly set up industrial automation system, a malfunction or failure triggers a pop-up notification to let the operator know there is a problem. A good automated system can also run diagnostics and resolve faults. Solving a problem before it occurs can greatly increase productivity.

    More efficient use of materials

    The total cost of industrial automation production lines includes the cost of raw materials, labor, energy consumption and waste. This will not change with time. But in a competitive market, the cost of not being able to enter the market in time, the cost of failing to meet the current consumer demand, the cost of compliance, and the cost of maintaining stable high quality.

    4. Improve product quality

    Product quality is closely related to accuracy and repeatability. If the measurement is not consistent over time, it will affect the consistency of the product. A good industrial automation system will help the processor ensure the consistency of the products manufactured every day, while monitoring for faults or failures in product quality and consistency.

    The importance and advantages of industrial automation production are undeniable. It provides an efficient, cost-effective and quality-stable production method to help enterprises cope with market competition and improve competitiveness. Through the introduction of automation equipment and systems, enterprises can improve production efficiency, reduce production costs and improve product quality. Therefore, industrial automation production has become an indispensable part of modern industrial enterprises, which is of great significance to the sustainable development of enterprises.
