How manufacturers choose fully automated production lines for sheet metal

In 2020, China’s economy exceeded the trillion dollar mark, becoming the only major economy in the world to achieve positive economic growth. Industrial value added maintains positive growth, and China’s manufacturing industry has ranked first in the world for 11 consecutive years.

Driven by the six industries of high-tech manufacturing, equipment manufacturing, strategic emerging services, new energy vehicles and integrated circuits, China’s manufacturing industry achieves counter-trend growth with new industries, new business models and new modes.

Demand for intelligent factories and digital production lines

The current demand for some intelligent sheet metal factories is mainly in the following areas.

(1) Multi-process and multi-process production management. This includes laser drop, bending, welding, polishing, transportation, storage, quality inspection, etc.

(2) Integration of multi-systems and multi-equipment. Like ERP, MES, WMS, PLM, CAM, CNC, PLC, barcode system, etc.

(3) Automatic scheduling of production orders, ERP order association, automatic order scheduling, automatic assignment of equipment task orders, instant feedback of production performance, flexible mixed production, etc.

(4) Automatic nesting and automatic sorting of multi-species and small-lot production. This includes automatic correlation of orders, nesting charts, etc.

(5) Warehouse inventory management. Not only raw material stock, but also finished products, semi-finished products in and out of the warehouse and line side warehouse management, etc.

(6) Barcode management and quality tracing. Spraying code, labeling code, scanning code and traceability of workpiece and raw material.

(7) Production line kanban and management visualization. Real-time display of production status, equipment status, work efficiency and other data, etc.

(8) Data analysis and application. Such as predictive maintenance, fault alarm analysis, etc.

(9) Training and virtualization display. Such as operation training, digital twin display, virtualization model drive, tour and sales demonstration, etc.
