Technical advantages (digital process planning)
Comparison with traditional technology 1:
Traditional workflow processing method: | Digital workflow processing mode: |
(1) process planning: The mechanical design department carries out the preliminary process analysis - provides the technical engineering scheme for the customer - and the customer communication process plan - establishes the process plan |
1) process planning: The process plan of the process department -- layout planning and simulation -- static analysis and dynamic simulation of part flow -- assembly process balance -- complex logistics operation simulation |
Disadvantages: human factors dominant factors, cognitive communication time is too long, the whole scheme provides no visual rendering, human workload too big slice of uncontrolled factors, is unable to provide full digital analysis report, ergonomics analysis cannot be achieved | Advantage: through the digital factory software (such as: Siemens PLANT SI MULATION) process review in the virtual simulation environment, tolerance analysis, logistics cost analysis, human resource requirements, such as a full set of data analysis reports, complete PLANT construction feasibility report. |
Technical advantages (full dynamic simulation technology)
Comparison with traditional technology 2:
Traditional workflow processing method: | Digital workflow processing mode: |
2) according to product design, parallel process analysis (2D / 3D) Design of mechanical design - plan modification - process adjustment - standard equipment selection - standard equipment procurement | 2) obtain the product mathematical model from the client Process departments to achieve production line building, tooling design, complete product assembly process analysis, process layout of regional division - the engineers for their complete virtual production line set up - standard equipment selection, equipment procurement |
Faults: equipment design of retrieval, there is no overall cross validation, personnel experience dominant factors, due to human error in product analysis, cause equipment design scheme revised workload big, craft to adjust, completion of equipment design, procurement can enter selection standard equipment, long project cycle. | Advantages: through the digital factory software (for example: Siemens Process design), the Process allocation, man-machine engineering assignment, main equipment selection, and mechanical design verification are carried out in the virtual simulation environment. |
Technical advantage (online programming technology)
Comparison with traditional technology 3:
Traditional workflow processing method: | Digital workflow processing mode: |
3) process verification and dynamic simulation The whole dynamic simulation is not fully presented in the traditional equipment manufacturing process | 3) process verification and dynamic simulation The simulation department completes the dynamic simulation - the verification process can be realized |
Advantages: through the digital factory software (e.g. Siemens Process simulation) in the virtual simulation environment, the automation equipment, personnel working condition and fatigue degree are simulated |
Technical advantages (virtual debugging technique)
Comparison with traditional technology 4:
Traditional workflow processing method: | Digital workflow processing mode: |
4) mechanical processing and manufacturing, electric selection and purchasing Mechanical processing and manufacturing, electrical design selection installation, waiting for the completion of the overall system debugging. | 4) virtual debugging Simulation department complete dynamic simulation - virtual debugging Advantage: the great advantages of digital factory in addition to full control of process simulation, and can undertake virtual debugging of equipment in the computer, the technology does not exist in the field of traditional equipment manufacturing, virtual debugging is completed, the output electrical PLC program, robot off-line program, and this work can be completed within waiting for processing and manufacturing. |
Technical advantages (virtual environment transplantation site)
Comparison with traditional technology 5:
Traditional workflow processing method: | Digital workflow processing mode: |
5) equipment installation and debugging Equipment installation -- the engineer makes equipment debugging -- electrical mechanical robot for system debugging -- verification of production line stability -- problem point rectification. | 5) equipment installation and debugging Equipment installation -- the engineer makes equipment debugging -- electrical mechanical robot for system debugging -- verification of production line stability -- problem point rectification. |
Disadvantages: System is in commissioning phase for the first time, the engineer of the workload is big, fatigue and the control factors caused the risk of equipment damage, each department engineer after completion of their equipment debugging requires cross-functional linkage debugging equipment, test and verify the operation state of the whole equipment, general debugging cycle is completed in three to six months, spare parts damaged rate at 2%, and interference change rate at 5%. | Advantages: Because in virtual debugging link, each department engineers have been simulated in the computer environment all the control program, control logic, the equipment movement control program, the scene and virtual debugging programs need to be imported into the real device, and verify the virtual debugger. The installation and commissioning cycle can be controlled within one month, the site engineer's workload is small, the risk of equipment damage can be controlled, and the product launch cycle can be shortened greatly. |
