Smart Industrial Empire

The flexible manufacturing system is a technology that the entire world's mechanical powers are currently researching, but few countries have made much progress.For most companies researching this field, this project is actually just an integration of production equipment.

For those who do not understand this industry, the flexible manufacturing system is nothing more than a series of different types of equipment arranged according to the process.But for Jiuyi Research Institute, this is not enough.

If it is just such a system, how can it become a scientific research project worth hundreds of billions?Moreover, it takes a very long time, and you don't know when the results will be produced?

What the Jiuyi Research Institute is trying its best to build is a truly unmanned manufacturing workshop.

This is basically the most top-level integration of various technologies in the world.This is almost what Yunfei wanted to show the old man.

This technology has been researched by many companies in the 67s after the rise and application of CNC machine tools. It was first developed by the British Molins Company in 1967 based on the basic concept of fms proposed by Williamson. System 24", in the same year, the American White. Sunstrand Company built the i system, which consists of eight machining centers and two multi-axis drilling machines. Transmission and processing between machine tools.However, these are not flexible manufacturing systems in the true sense.

Until 1976.Farak Corporation of Japan exhibited a flexible manufacturing unit (fm for short) composed of machining centers and industrial robots, which provided an important form of equipment for the development of fms.

These are just the prototypes of a tradition.

Although it is a flexible manufacturing system.However, due to technical reasons and computer performance problems, there is no way to judge the wear degree of the tool during the machining process, so the equipment is a complete production line, but the operation is manual.

The most typical form of expression is some unmanned automatic production lines that have begun to appear in the world.The main performance is the welding production line of the automobile factory and the automated painting workshop.As for the stamping production line, because many molds weigh several tons or even dozens of tons, there is no way for robots to accurately replace these molds easily at any time.

What's more important is.For these robots, there is no way to identify whether the tool is worn or not.Whether there is a problem, after all, is automatically judged by the robot, as long as the time set by the computer is not reached, it will not be replaced at all.At that time, a large number of waste products will be processed.This is the problem of the whole world.

At the same time, this project is not something that can be researched with less than 200 billion US dollars of funds.Yun Fei knew about this stuff, so he naturally knew that with 1000 billion RMB, it was impossible to successfully research this project.

However, no matter how much money is spent, the purpose of his Jiuyi Research Institute is to unswervingly strive in this direction.No matter how much money is invested, the research in this area cannot be done slowly like those foreign companies because of too much money consumption.

There is a big gap between China and foreign countries in this respect.

The research project established in Yunfei's Jiuyi Research Institute is not just such a simple integration.Instead, robots are used directly to replace the workers who operate.This is not the most basic application of the Japanese Farak, and the Japanese are currently researching in this direction.

It will take many years for the Japanese to find out.In fact, they have entered a dead end and made a mistake.

Just like the former Soviet Union.

The flexible manufacturing system researched by the Japanese can only be regarded as an upgrade template for the large-scale production of special planes in the former Soviet Union.

Why does Yunfei want to research robots that can run around in the entire group company?

We must know that such a robot is not only more expensive, but also far from being fixed in one position and only responsible for one or two working steps. Even like welding robots, several or even dozens of robots are required to complete a process. Industrial robots can be compared.

Of course, the flexible manufacturing system studied by Jiuyi Research Institute is not the kind of system that the world thinks.But according to the kind of system that Yun Fei understands.

Everything is the kind of production mode that uses robots to replace human operations.

Once such a production system is completed, basically most of the manufacturing machinery companies in the world will lose their jobs!

Because they don't need management.There is no need for quality inspection, no miscellaneous workers, all that is needed is a super powerful computer and engineers who can ensure the safe and trouble-free operation of the processing process from raw materials to final products.

And these engineers will be born from Jiuyi University in the future.

At that time, what will appear in China will not be a labor shortage, but a dilemma of high unemployment.

These have nothing to do with Yunfei at all. What he needs to do is to build his own intelligent industrial empire.It is best to be able to reach the point where only various managers and technical personnel are needed in the end, and no ordinary technical workers are required.

From the country's large-scale expansion of enrollment to the fact that even the road sweepers are college students, it will not be easy to find a large number of skilled workers.

What's more, when the cost of labor increases, the prices of various products drop, the currency depreciates, and the gross profit of the manufacturing industry drops to only a few percentage points, only robots who don't need to think about houses, marriage, and various insurances can do it. It is the cheapest labor.

"Boss, why are you here?" The 43-year-old Su Yue, who returned from Germany's Siemens Equipment Manufacturing Group, was very surprised that the boss who rarely appeared in the research institute appeared here.

This guy used to be a publicly funded foreign student of Huaqing University in the 80s.At that time, I studied in Germany, then went to Mitsubishi Group in Japan, and finally entered General Motors Group in the United States because of discrimination.Then not long after arriving in Germany, Deng Lanqing fooled her back.The reason why Su Yue didn't get any good treatment was the reason why he jumped to three machinery companies with the strongest technical strength in three countries with the strongest industries in the world for more than ten years.Even, he was discriminated against in many cases, which is why he wanted to return to China.

For this guy, Yunfei didn't like it at first, because he jumped too many companies in a short period of time.

A technical person.If you have too many ideas that have nothing to do with technology in your heart, there will be no achievements at all.But Deng Lanqing and Sun Lin jointly gave him a guarantee.Yun Fei had no choice but to let Deng Lanqing take it easy.

This project is likely to cost him all of his fortune.

Anyway, this guy hasn't been in Jiuyi Research Institute for too long now, and Yun Fei also arranged for someone to watch him.If he is a commercial spy, then Yun Fei will definitely make him regret coming to this world.

"It's okay, I'm just here to check on the situation here." Yun Fei nodded to Su Yue, and said calmly.

The laboratory workshop of the Jiuyi Research Institute is very large, and the bottom floor has long been insufficient. For this project, Yunfei built a light steel structure workshop with an area of ​​more than 3000 square meters next to the experimental building. The entire unmanned production workshop project was moved inside.

A large number of CNC machine tools present a series of assembly lines.Among the three or five CNC machine tools, there is one that is several meters high, and several that can rotate in all directions.There are many industrial robots tied together and suspended from above.

And many robots with different shapes and functions, relying on electric power to drive the wheels, move in an orderly manner.

Such a scene gives people a sense of order and chaos.It is messy because it is crowded, and a lot of test equipment is only a few key parts in order to save costs.Many CNC machine tools are not equipped with guards or anything.The outside of the industrial robot also does not hide the cables with various functions.

Just because each component of this system is dispersed according to different functions, it was originally an overall research of an assembly line.But that is very slow for the progress of the research progress.

The welding robot needed by Geely Group and the completely unmanned welding robot production line that Yunfei wants to build for Jiuyi Automobile Factory are also in it.Not to mention anything else, the cost of these CNC machine tools, industrial robots, and comprehensive automatic robots is more than [-] million.And these gadgets have to invest more renovation funds because of the continuous improvement of functions.

These are just the most intuitive display of hardware facilities.

Although this is only a project with a huge area of ​​thousands of square meters, the project that Yun Fei has invested a large amount of research funds in is still crowded, in addition to appearing crowded.There are not too many things that an industrial robot can be responsible for, and for the sake of research progress, it is often a research will make two or even three identical test samples at the same time.This is simply to keep the research progress from being halted by sudden discovery of problems or need for improvement.

"The current control accuracy is still not working. The main reason is that our computer is not powerful enough..." Su Yue didn't come to Jiuyi Research Institute for too long, only less than half a month, and there are many things that he doesn't know Yes, but before he saw this workshop, he never imagined that there would be such a large-scale research on automation in China.

The reason why he was willing to come to Jiuyi Research Institute at the beginning was not only due to Deng Lanqing's deceit, but also because of the annual salary of 100 million US dollars.Even in Germany, his annual salary is only 24!
