Lean Manufacturing

Material feeding

The intelligent material feeding system will put the raw materials, including powder and liquid materials, into mixing process according to technical formula(weight, time, speed etc.) automatically, and automatically meters, intelligently identify, handle and remind anomaly during feeding. The whole procedure is completed automatically by computer, and the production data are automatically saved. Without manual operation, we are able to avoid the possibility of human operation error and increase the stability of process quality. The system is automatically calibrated periodically, able to intelligently asses early warning of life control of key components, also able to remote control and maintenance.
Mixing

The mixing process is connected with the feeding system through network, and runs automatically according to the process formula parameters. The equipment running status is monitored by intelligent monitoring system, and the process data is automatically saved and evaluated if the device is running abnormally and prompts. The system is able to intelligently asses early warning of life control of key components, also able to remote control and maintenance.
Coating

The coating process adopts Siemens Ethernet PLC control system. Through the bus control mode, it is able to improve the data transmission speed, intelligently configure "online length monitoring system" and "online surface density detection system", online coating size and surface density real-time monitoring, generate real-time dynamic curves. It is possible to set, display and record the coating line speed, tension control, coating setting, heat-and -tail skiving, blower frequency and temperature setting on the touching screen. During production, the operation status of equipment is intelligently monitored, the process data is automatically saved and evaluated if the devices are running properly with prompts.The system is able to intelligently asses early warning of life control of key components, also able to remote control and maintenance.
Rolling & Pressing&Slitting

The rolling and pressing process and slitting process adopt Siemens Ethernet PLC control system. Through the bus control mode, it is able to improve the data transmission speed, intelligently configure "online length monitoring system" and "online surface density detection system", online coating size and surface density real-time monitoring, generate real-time dynamic curves, and intelligently evaluates product quality with prompts. According to the feedback information of CCD image system detection, the “Online CCD Defect Monitoring System” can intelligently identify the abnormal electrode and automatically mark the information for the following process. During production, the operation status of equipment is intelligently monitored, the process data is automatically saved and evaluated if the devices are running properly with prompts. The system is able to intelligently asses early warning of life control of key components, also able to remote control and maintenance.

Lean Manufacturing

The assembling process and charge/discharge process are integrated into a whole high-speed, automatic and intelligent production line. Using network technology to connect production equipment and computer system, realizing information intelligent interaction, integrate people, machine, material, laws and principles, environment, supply chain and management. Intelligently record the process data, and provide optimal solution by analysis and evaluation, from raw material to product manufacturing, storage, shipping.
The processes are connected to each other by intelligent logistic network. Each process is equipped with online intelligent inspection system to record and save the process data (including thickness, roundness, height, status, CCD appearance, color, x-ray, weight, diameter, pressure, vacuum rate, temperature, voltage, current, impedance). The system can intelligently identify and automatically handle the abnormal. Adopting AS/RS system, the online product storage is able to maximize workshop floor area ratio, increase productivity and avoid error operation, connected to the computer system effectively to share the information and intelligently allocate.
The system is able to intelligently analysis product quality and equipment status according to the data, and intelligently asses early warning of life control of key components, also able to remote control and maintenance.
