With the arrival of the Industry 4.0 era, fully automated assembly equipment has been widely used in various industries, greatly improving production efficiency and product quality, and reducing labor costs. However, in practical applications, some common problems also arise, which require us to have a deep understanding and solve them properly.
Fully automated assembly equipment usually requires a significant investment of funds, including equipment procurement, installation and commissioning, personnel training, and other aspects, which may be a considerable burden for some small and medium-sized enterprises. In order to reduce investment costs, it is possible to consider choosing cost-effective equipment or adopting a phased implementation approach to gradually achieve automation upgrades.
The complexity of fully automated assembly equipment is high, requiring professional technicians for maintenance and upkeep. If there is a lack of professional maintenance team, the equipment failure rate may increase, thereby affecting production efficiency. It is recommended that enterprises establish a professional maintenance system, conduct regular equipment maintenance, and do a good job in spare parts reserve.
Fully automated assembly equipment usually requires multiple subsystems to work together, such as automatic palletizing conveyor lines, automatic packaging lines, automatic transportation lines, etc. The system integration is difficult and requires a professional design team to plan and debug the system in order to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
Once a device malfunctions, diagnosing the cause of the problem may be difficult due to the complexity of the system. In order to quickly solve problems, it is recommended that companies establish a comprehensive fault diagnosis system, such as remote monitoring systems, fault diagnosis databases, etc., and strengthen employee training in troubleshooting skills.
The application of fully automated assembly equipment requires operators to possess certain professional skills, such as equipment operation, program debugging, troubleshooting, etc. Enterprises need to strengthen employee skills training and improve their ability to adapt to automated production modes.
There may be safety hazards during the operation of fully automated assembly equipment, such as accidents during equipment operation and operator errors. To ensure safety, enterprises need to establish strict safety operating procedures and install safety protection devices to ensure the safe operation of equipment.
Fully automated assembly equipment is not suitable for all production scenarios, such as situations with a wide variety of products and complex production processes, making automation transformation difficult. It is necessary to choose an appropriate automation solution based on the actual situation to avoid the negative impact of blindly pursuing automation.
