Mobile WebSite"Robot revolution" began, many companies have set foot on the factory automation "no return", no man factory seems to gradually become the future development trend of the factory. But the entire automated assembly line is sporadic to large enterprises, despite the government to vigorously promote the robot substitution policy, many companies received the state grant, simply put the equipment "dry" in the production workshop.
Error 1: the introduction of the robot is to upgrade the automation
The application of robots is one of the most representative aspects of automated upgrades. But does not mean to solve all problems. Pneumatic hydraulic control and non-standard equipment automation is also a very important means of achieving automation. Especially for some special applications, robots can not solve, non-standard automation equipment is the answer. Automation upgrade, must not only stare at the robot to see, a variety of channels is the best.
Error two: the robot can be used to buy back
Robot as a smart device, not a simple installation and commissioning can be used. If you ignore the development of the robot (or secondary development) and application, will lead to many robots bought back to use or improper use. Take a robot and a sportsman to be an analogy, a group of good athletes (robots) plus a good coach (system integrator) is the key to winning the entire team (business).
Error three: automation upgrade can be one step in place
Real automation upgrades, not a simple station or machine replacement can be completed, but a very complex system engineering. Automation needs to be able to do, from the more mature automation technology began, from the factory to upgrade the site to start, and gradually, must not pursue one step in place.
Error 4: Any process can be replaced by an automated device
Products that are manufactured using automated production lines should have sufficient production; product design and processes should be advanced, stable and reliable, and remain largely constant over a longer period of time. Not all processes are suitable for automation. In a large number of large-scale production in the use of automatic lines have significant economic benefits.
Error five: to achieve automation is to achieve the industrial 4.0
Recent industry 4.0 and the concept of manufacturing 2025 in China is very hot, so many companies blindly follow the trend. Manufacturing companies should pay more attention to the actual technology and problem solutions. When the development of information as the core technology of generalized management automation, industrial 4.0 era will come into being.
So, if the business needs to use the industrial robot system, the first thing to do is to analyze their own production process, understand their own needs.
First, analyze and understand their own needs
Listen and understand your needs carefully
The use of automated systems, used to assemble the production workshop, for manufacturing, the purpose is to make the production and quality control have the greatest efficiency ratio. We need to go to the production sector, familiar with the production process. Need to study which process is the short process of the production process, which process can be automated instead of artificial.
The short-term business needs and long-term goals together, as a basis to analyze the return on investment. Do not just look at today or a few years later and decide on the equipment you need to purchase.
B cultivate and recruit talent
If you need to innovate technology, the inevitable need for a relatively appropriate technical talent. Automated assembly workshop is bound to have a lot of equipment, the company's talent needs to have the ability to learn quickly, as soon as possible familiar with the integrator's system.
C clear responsibility party
It is the responsibility of the integrator and the end user to ensure that the production process is correct. The integrator needs to provide the equipment, expert guidance to meet the customer's requirements. It is the responsibility of the customer to provide the relevant information needed to produce the equipment.
Second, choose Kaopu system integrators
Industrial robots automation integration of this industry, not up in the country for several years, there is no domestic level of the integrator identified, then we can not rely on these associations or official certification to protect their own choice. So what kind of integrator, is relatively reliable?
A proper size
It is important to examine as a robot system supplier. This is a large and complete robot supplier, such as similar to the new domestic, foreign ABB, system integration and robot body do. Or a small number of employees, small and fine robot suppliers, such as UR, such as KMT.
Big and not on behalf of better, small does not mean that strength is not enough
B professional field
A qualified integrator is integrated with industry applications. They are not only familiar with industrial robots, but also need to understand the industry's production standards, production requirements, production process. Good robot company, and can not do the robot system. The integrator sells to the customer, and must be the robot that can produce the customer's product, not the robot itself.
C professional team of engineers and project management team
When contacting professional robotic system integrators, their professional technicians or sales typically provide detailed project management and implementation details that will listen to your needs and advise you to conduct a feasibility analysis or pre-trial production The You can try to produce the time, to understand the composition of the technical staff of integrators to see if there are many years of experience in the work of expert engineers, or a large number of young students just graduated.
D professional documentation
Professional robot system integrators, generally have their own standard products, also have their standard product technical documentation. Generally for different customers, they will produce independent technical documents. If they are foreign integrators, they will also provide translation documents, of course, this part may be a fee.
E promised spare parts
Although the stability of industrial robots in recent years has been developed by leaps and bounds, but they are still machines. The world has never invented the perpetual motion machine or never wear the machine, so your robot will still be some failure. Therefore, you must understand whether your supplier can provide you with the required spare parts.
F professional services
If your company is a small and medium-sized enterprise, training a technician for this set of systems is a huge cost, that is, you may be most of the problems or to rely on your suppliers.
A professional system integrator, there will be a dedicated service department to deal with equipment services. They will typically provide phone support, mail support, or their devices are equipped with remote support functions.
G clear warranty
The last thing to know about is about the warranty. Must be clear that they provide the warranty of the time limit, the warranty is based on three shifts you, the warranty limited time.
