Bosch Rexroth: 10% increase in parts production efficiency
One production line can switch to produce 6 major product families, 2000 different products, and realize small-scale customized production or even single product production. While improving production efficiency by 10%, it can reduce inventory by 30%—a few days ago in Shanghai. During the China International Industrial Fair, Bosch Rexroth relocated the demonstration model of the Humboldt plant in Germany to China for the first time, presenting Chinese manufacturers with visible and feasible industrial 4.0 innovation solutions. The production line was awarded the "Industry 4.0 Award" by a well-known German magazine for achieving the optimal interconnection of people, machines, objects and IT systems.
With the smart factory production line displayed this time, the operator can automatically identify and intelligently adjust the work instructions. The materials required for the assembly line can also be automatically identified and assigned based on RFID radio frequency identification technology. Once the process error occurs and the quality deviates from the production line, automatic alert management will also be performed. In addition, all production processes are automated through shop floor automation control platforms. Production data is collected, analyzed, and processed by the shop floor management system.
According to Liu Huowei, Managing Director of Bosch Rexroth, this production line also has an independent manual station production system. The production capacity of the assembly line can be adjusted intelligently; the APAS assistant can be selected to achieve seamless man-machine collaboration; wireless tightening guns can also be selected, and the integration process is also available. Quality controller and other functions.
In such a multi-species production line, there are various parts and components, which puts higher requirements on the production line: All parts must be in the right place at the right time with the right amount. In addition, the production line must also be well integrated into the factory's logistics processes and other production lines. According to reports, the long-term logistics objective of Bosch Rexroth is to integrate suppliers and customers well. The boundaries between enterprises will be gradually broken down, and the forms of networking work will be adopted more in order to carry out more information exchanges. .
"Based on Bosch Production System BPS's value stream design capabilities, we can design or optimize value streams for manufacturers based on their level of factory automation to help manufacturers achieve lean manufacturing to meet increasingly stringent market challenges. The essence of Industry 4.0." Liu Huowei said.
Bosch Rexroth also exhibited an intelligent automation demonstration model at this exhibition. Its entire processing value stream fully reflects the concept of Industry 4.0. The products produced by the fully automated production system are built-in chips, and the information can be read in the production transmission project; 5 independent processing stations autonomously judge the execution of necessary processes based on the read product information; the parameters of the actuator shaft can be directly passed through the smart device. Optimization in the control unit; integrated remote diagnostics debugging app. The model fully demonstrates that the concept of Industry 4.0 is practical and feasible from the feeding to the finished product.
“The manufacturing market in China faces many challenges. If manufacturers want to take the initiative in market competition, they must first increase production efficiency, achieve flexible production of “multiple varieties and small batches,†and improve product quality. It is Industry 4.0 that can help us achieve it." Liu Huowei said.
