Automated Design Solutions for Smart Factories (PPT)

1. Equipment Automation Level Planning

The automation of smart factory equipment is divided into multiple levels, progressing from Level D to Level A. Level D automation reduces manual monitoring and stopping operations by installing automatic stop devices; Level C further mechanizes the picking process, retaining only installation and startup; Level B achieves automatic installation and startup, enhancing operator freedom; Level A reaches complete human-machine separation, with automatic feeding and handling, significantly improving efficiency.

2. Overall Planning of Automation Equipment

The planning covers industrial robots, custom equipment, general equipment, warehousing and sorting equipment, logistics equipment, and testing equipment. At the same time, it integrates industrial software such as RFID, DCS, SCADA, and PLC to achieve data collection, automatic control, and intelligent management. Through sensors and data acquisition systems, the production process is monitored in real-time to ensure efficient operation.

3. Three-Level Automation Implementation Path

  1. Primary AutomationSingle machine or single process automation, with loading and unloading possibly done manually.
  2. Secondary AutomationMultiple processes on the production line are interconnected, forming an automated assembly line.
  3. Tertiary AutomationRealizes automated transportation and storage of products between production lines and between production lines and warehouses.

4. Automated and Intelligent Logistics Systems

Using conveyors, lifts, AGVs, RGVs, and other logistics equipment, combined with WMS warehouse management systems, MES systems, and ERP systems, to build an intelligent logistics system. Through the deep integration of information systems and logistics equipment, the automation and intelligence of material handling, sorting, and storage are achieved.

5. Selection of Automation Control Systems

Based on production needs, reasonable selection of SCADA, DCS, and PLC systems is made. SCADA is used for data collection and monitoring control, DCS achieves decentralized control and centralized management, while PLC is responsible for the logical control and sequential control of specific equipment. The three work together to ensure the efficient and stable operation of the smart factory.
