Upgrade standard assembly line production to intelligent production line.

Now many manufacturing enterprises have started intelligent plant planning, in order to realize intelligent factory, intelligent transformation of production line must be carried out first.

Assembly line production mainly use belt line and rail line (double speed chain line) for product production station flow, the main use of institutions, lifts, motors and other basic equipment and tools, with PLC equipment for simple control, such production line in the production of industry 2.0 is very suitable for mass production, However, in the face of the increasing demand for customizable products and intelligent product types, we need to upgrade the production model and equipment for flexible production.

So what technologies do we often use? From our upgraded production line, the main technologies currently applied are the following commonly used ones.

1. Vision:

Preliminary: use HD CCD camera, visual software, OPENCV library to carry out intelligent recognition and judgment of appearance, and combine with production equipment for automatic flow.

Deep dive: Apply machine learning to visual optimization and upgrading through modeling combined with batch quantity results.

2. Internet of Things combined with 5G:

Through the configuration of RFID products, combined with automatic recognition of sensing and scanning code, automatic input and judgment of production and testing equipment, such as product location and process, can greatly reduce the useless time of taking data and improve benefits;

3. Upper computer:

Through the upper computer programming control product configuration requirements and the overall equipment production line of mass control;

4. Application of mechanical arm:

Automatic spraying, automatic labeling, automatic palletizing and other practical applications can be realized through the programming of mechanical arm.

5. AGV car:

Through AGV to achieve automatic material handling, automatic material distribution, automatic stacking finished products into storage;

6. Through software and application platform:

Heartbeat unified control and distribution software, PLC software, MES system, ABB robot, opencv, C#, python, sensors, automatic scanner, etc.;

In general, the most difficult thing for several projects is the integration of various technology platforms. What I did not expect is that the mechanism design is also very important, and unexpected problems often occur in the mechanism.
