Enlarge Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province on the map, and a piece of land of 300000 square meters in the north gradually becomes clear; If you continue to zoom in on the newly completed Guangdong (Tanzhou) International Convention and Exhibition Center, you can see a 1064 square meter exhibition area in Area B. Here, a "Intelligent Manufacturing and Robot Application Scene Exhibition" has just been staged; No one with an area of 750 square meters set foot in this exhibition production line It only takes 30 seconds to get a "freshly baked" mini rice cooker Some people call this journey "future journey".

AGV Carrier People in the Warrior Kingdom sing "songs" to transport raw materials; Six axis Industrial robot Rotate, pull and send out "squeak" belt Metal Sensory sound; The humanoid robot flashes white light and communicates with the audience while delivering the newly produced rice cooker ... "This is what the future factory looks like," said Zou Jianmin, a lean consultant of Foshan Shunde District Think Tank Enterprise Management Consulting Co., Ltd. Behind him, the chain like production line runs silently and non-stop.

This mini rice cooker is only 26cm wide and 23cm high. Zou Jianmin called it "Single Love Pot", "This is a mini rice cooker specially designed for singles".

On September 29, the second Pearl River West Bank Advanced Equipment Manufacturing Industry Investment and Trade Fair was unveiled, and this unmanned production line and the pink and white rice cooker attracted many eyes. Some people keep taking pictures, and some people circle round the round production line again and again.

This production line, which took Zou Jianmin and his partners more than one month to "build", only requires 6 workers to complete fine work positions such as inserting lines, while the general production line requires about 40 people.

Change goes beyond that. Previously, light came in the factory rotation When transporting materials or goods, employees have to walk 20 kilometers every day. If AGV robot is used Washing machine Take the manufacturer as an example, once for labor trailer Only 16 washing machines can be pulled, while AGV robot can pull 54. It will also transport and stack the goods to the designated place according to the preset program, so as to realize automatic transportation, sorting and storage.

"This is an automated unmanned production line built according to the concept of Industry 4.0, from customer selection and ordering, product manufacturing to * * final delivery," said Duan Xianchun, director of the Innovation Center for Integration of Industrialization and Informatization in Shunde District, Foshan City.

With the sound of music, an AGV robot sent materials from the warehouse along the set route and automatically docked them. The production of another rice cooker is about to start.

notes Plastic machine And triaxial manipulator After a while, a buckle on the top cover of the rice cooker was taken out of the injection molding machine. The other two injection molding machines are linked with a six axis manipulator, which is connected up and down, and the parts are taken out directly from the mold. Chen Riteng, deputy secretary of Shunde Robot Association, said that this six axis manipulator is a six axis robot independently developed by Shunde * * platform. The injection molding machine and manipulator are linked to form a highly automated and flexible injection molding unit.

The mini rice cooker to be shaped continues to move on the conveyor belt to the stamping unit. The robot will pack the tank, take out the power cord, measuring cup and other accessories of the rice cooker, and automatically put them into the corresponding position. The stamping robot will punch the dishes, polish them, and then put them into the rice cooker. After * *, the upper cover of the rice cooker will be automatically tightened. "This four axis swing arm robot will automatically remember and form a path when it runs around the arm once, and the equipment will follow this path." Xie Chuanhai, chairman of Guangdong Jieshi Robot Company, introduced that there are four stamping processes, and four robots can be used instead. One robot can press 17 times in a minute.

Exhibitors selected models and placed orders on the touch screen, and AGV robot delivered the rice cooker 30 seconds later. They didn't know that they had already been associated with the hot word "Industry 4.0" with a little touch on this mini production line.

Song Junhua, the chief product manager of Foshan Kuaiyi Software Information Technology Co., Ltd., said that the production line adopts industrial Internet thinking, and all equipment, equipment and information systems communicate with each other. Without the instructions of the previous step, the next step is never the first. In addition, there are enough interfaces to facilitate the interconnection and access of new equipment, which means that the production line can produce other products similar to the rice cooker process with slight changes.

"If traditional enterprises want to transform and upgrade, it is not feasible to simply engage in" machine replacement ", because no amount of automation equipment, if the various equipment modules can not be accurately connected, the output can not go up, and the intelligent manufacturing production line needs a whole set of solutions." He believes that this production line shows the elements of Industry 4.0, reflecting lean production, informatization, automation Intelligent level.

It is hard to imagine that there are 14 intelligent manufacturing enterprises behind an electric cooker, which have experienced countless intellectual storms. This rice cooker production line is pregnant with a profound industrial revolution.

Since August 2014, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Guangdong Province have jointly launched the construction of the advanced equipment manufacturing industrial belt on the west bank of the Pearl River. According to the plan, by 2017, the equipment manufacturing industry on the west bank of the Pearl River will achieve an output value of 1.5 trillion yuan, and by 2020 it will reach 2.2 trillion yuan, with an average annual growth of about 15%, of which the advanced equipment manufacturing industry accounts for more than 50% of the equipment manufacturing industry on the west bank of the Pearl River.

"Shunde's equipment manufacturing industry is closely related to people's lives, and no one can live without these products." An exhibitor of a ceramic enterprise said, "Unlike Internet finance, which can make money by moving a few fingers, Shunde's manufacturing industry has gone steadily for many years."
