The popularity of intelligent manufacturing has remained high in recent years. What is intelligent manufacturing? What are the characteristics of intelligent manufacturing different from traditional manufacturing? Intelligent manufacturing equipment is a high integration of electromechanical systems and artificial intelligence systems, which fully reflects the demand for manufacturing to develop towards intelligence, digitalization and networking. Compared with traditional manufacturing equipment, the main features of intelligent manufacturing equipment include the following aspects.
1. Self-perception ability
Self-perception ability refers to the intelligent manufacturing equipment obtaining the required information through sensors and perceiving changes in its own state and environment. automatically recognizes and communicates with data is an important basis for realizing self-perception. Compared with traditional manufacturing equipment, intelligent manufacturing equipment requires the acquisition of huge data volume, and the information is of a wide variety and the acquisition environment is complex. Therefore, the development of new high-performance sensors has become the key to the self-perception of intelligent manufacturing equipment. At present, common sensor types include vision sensor , position sensor, radio frequency identification sensor, audio sensor and force/ tactile sensor , etc.
2. Adaptation and optimization capabilities
Adaptation and optimization capabilities refer to the intelligent manufacturing equipment adjusting its own operating mode based on the perceived information, so that the system is in an optimal or better state, and realizes intelligent adaptation to different working conditions of complex tasks. During the operation of intelligent manufacturing equipment, process information is continuously collected to determine the actual state of the processing and manufacturing objects and the environment. When the processing and manufacturing objects or environment undergo dynamic changes, corresponding regulation instructions are generated based on the system performance optimization criteria, and the system structure or parameters are adjusted in a timely manner to ensure that the intelligent manufacturing equipment always works in the optimal or better operating state.
3. Self-diagnosis and maintenance capabilities
Self-diagnosis and maintenance capabilities refer to the ability of intelligent manufacturing equipment to self-diagnose its own failures and failure problems during operation, and ensure that the system can operate normally through optimization and adjustment. Intelligent manufacturing equipment is usually a highly integrated complex mechatronic device. When the external environment changes, the system will fail or even fail. Therefore, self-diagnosis and maintenance capabilities are very important for intelligent manufacturing equipment. In addition, through self-diagnosis and maintenance, an accurate database of faults and failures of intelligent manufacturing equipment can be established, which is of great significance to further improve the performance and life of equipment. Valley provides MES, SRM, WMS, low-code development platform, open interface platform, one-stop smart factory, and digital factory overall solutions.
4. Independent planning and decision-making capabilities
Independent planning and decision-making capabilities refer to the intelligent manufacturing equipment, based on the perceived information, conducts independent planning and calculations based on the perceived information, gives reasonable decision-making instructions, and controls the execution agency to complete corresponding actions to achieve complex intelligent behaviors. The independent planning and decision-making capabilities are based on artificial intelligence technology and combined with other advanced technologies such as system science, management science and information science, and are the core functions of intelligent manufacturing equipment. Through the optimized allocation of limited resources and intelligent decision-making on the process, intelligent manufacturing equipment can meet different needs in actual production.
