This is a foreign trade enterprise producing sports equipment with high output and fast production tempo, and the degree of automation is already quite high - the welding processes are all automated by robot workstations.
As we know, industrial robots can only perform repetitive action cycles according to the program that has been set. When there is a slight change in the workpiece or a local change in the process requirements, the robot workstation will not be able to handle it because of the lack of flexibility.
So, how can we improve the efficiency of work such as transferring parts between stations and assembling them together? How can we reduce the number of people and increase efficiency in the face of large order volumes and tight delivery time? How can we deliver orders with fewer people and shorter production cycles?
For mass-produced manufacturing companies, the only way to dilute costs and improve market competitiveness is to increase order volume. However, the demand for production personnel will be very large due to the surge of orders, and the problem of "difficulty in recruiting" for heavy manual positions and simple repetitive positions has become more and more prominent.
The solution to "reduce the workforce and increase efficiency" is imminent.
How to reduce the labor load of physical positions to 10% of the original?How to reduce the original 2-person job to 1 person?
Under the epidemic, the social distance has become a consensus, will the future of the production distance will put forward new requirements?
Market competition is product competition, how to eliminate the once hidden quality problems through technical means?
Manipulator can be a good solution to the problem of "reducing manpower and increasing efficiency" and "flexible production".
Manipulator can greatly expand the function of human "arm", replace the action of human "grasping workpiece", replace the load of "lifting heavy objects", replace the labor of human "moving heavy objects", avoid the burden of human "positioning workpiece", avoid the hidden danger of human "misoperation"; at the same time, because of human intervention, it can be well adapted to the changes of workpiece.
