Digital factory solutions
I. Preface
Modern industry has undergone three revolutions: mechanization, electrification and informatization. The future fourth industrial revolution is bound to be intelligent manufacturing that combines machinery, electricity and information. Establishing a digital factory is the cornerstone of achieving intelligent manufacturing, which helps to comprehensively enhance the production performance level of enterprises from three aspects: digital equipment, digital execution and digital control.
At the same time, building a digital factory helps to unblock the meridians of manufacturing information flow, transforming manufacturing enterprises from a hierarchical production control model where each operates independently to a collaborative production control model, thereby achieving the optimization of resource allocation, transparency in workshop production, agility in manufacturing response, and real-time departmental collaboration.
Ii. Scheme Composition and Functions
Wuxi Huikong Technology offers a comprehensive digital factory solution, which covers the production, quality, logistics and other links of workshop manufacturing. It provides powerful functions at three levels: digital equipment, digital execution and digital control.
Digital manufacturing equipment layer
① Support the issuance of process control instructions to on-site industrial computers, intelligent terminals and manufacturing equipment, accurately and promptly conveying design and process intentions;
② By integrating numerical control equipment, industrial robots and on-site inspection equipment, first-hand information on the status of manufacturing equipment, the progress of the production process and the control of quality parameters can be obtained in real time and transmitted to the execution layer and the control layer, achieving transparency in workshop manufacturing and providing a basis for agile decision-making.
③ Advanced data acquisition technology has been adopted, which can collect data through various easy-to-use workshop equipment, while ensuring the synchronization and effectiveness of production activity information transmission in the system
2. Digital manufacturing execution layer
Through advanced scheduling of workshop production and reasonable allocation of work tasks, the utilization rate of manufacturing resources and per capita production capacity can be increased, effectively reducing production costs.
② By real-time control of production status, various abnormal situations such as delayed delivery, material shortage, equipment failure, and personnel absence that are common in the production process of the workshop can be quickly handled. It also supports adjusting the original plan by preset rules in the system to reduce the impact on normal production and increase the order fulfillment rate.
③ Through the collection, detection and response to quality information, quality issues can be discovered and handled in a timely manner to prevent risks caused by quality defects flowing into the next process.
④ By making advance estimates of production plans and material requirements, it is ensured that the right materials are delivered to the right place at the right time, reducing inventory while minimizing material shortages in production
3. Digital manufacturing Control layer
It features comprehensive business intelligence/manufacturing intelligence (BI/MI) capabilities and can provide business analysis reports for quality management, production performance, compliance, product overview, and life cycle management, etc.
② Through advanced customizable and scalable vector graphics technology, users can easily create specific data dashboards, graphic displays and reports by fully considering the needs of their own enterprises and the characteristics of the industry.
③ Whether in the workshop, company office or meeting room, users can obtain the real-time, historical information and analyzed decision-making information they need at any time through PDAs, PCS or large-screen displays
Wuxi Huikong Technology also provides digital factory solutions for manual management, parts tracking, document control, process management and other links, and offers rich interfaces for the integration of ERP and other enterprise systems.
The problems that Wuxi Huikong Technology's digital factory solution can solve for customers:
1. Manufacturing site: Make the manufacturing process transparent, respond nimbly to various anomalies during the manufacturing process, and ensure the orderly progress of production;
2. Production Planning: Arrange production rationally, reduce bottleneck problems, and enhance overall production efficiency;
3. Production Logistics: Reduce logistics bottlenecks, enhance the accuracy of logistics distribution, and minimize the problem of production halts and material shortages. Production quality: More accurate prediction of quality trends and more effective control of quality defects; Management decision-making: Make the basis for decision-making more detailed, the decision-making process more intuitive, and the decision-making results more reasonable
Wuxi Huikong Technology not only has developed a powerful manufacturing operation management software system, but also has a group of senior industry experts at home and abroad who have worked in the advanced manufacturing field for many years. This ensures that the best practices of the industry are integrated into the actual needs of enterprises, promoting the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing enterprises and enhancing the overall competitiveness of enterprises.
