简体中文 Hey, have you ever seen those automated racks in factories? You know, the ones that go "whoosh" from one end to the other? Recently, many factories are using this thing, the name is quite cool - flying fork conveyor line! Today we will chatter about it in the end how capable, after watching the guaranteed you slap your thighs: "The original factory can also play so!"
A karate master in a car factory.
Guess how car factories move engine parts? With workers carrying them? That's outdated! Volkswagen Logistics has come up with a masterpiece: a flying fork conveyor line to play "empty-full exchange".
- how do I operate?The worker puts the parts on the full shelf, and the flying fork immediately takes away the empty shelf and replaces it with a full one, and no one has to touch it the whole time.
- How accurate is that?: the stopping error is±5mmIt's better than the human eye.
- save sb. money: Originally you had to keep a watchful eye on the refill, now? The machine runs by itself.Manually cut down 70%
To be honest, the best thing about this trick is to solve the old problem of "regular replenishment". In the past, workers had to pinpoint the schedule to run the workshop, and now the flying fork is like an eye, and it appears on time when the parts are running out, and the production line never stops working again!
Chemical fibre factory moves 3-tonne "Big Mac"
What's the biggest headache for chemical fibre factories? Moving 2 metres square, weighing up to3 tonnesThe silk box! The workers are so tired that they can't stand up straight, and they keep swinging askew...The wooden oxen and horses scheme is perfect:
- Anti-shake black technology: Adding to the flying forkSafety positioning deviceI'm not even going to take a detour.
- work around the clock: Intelligent charging station is always replenished, and it works overtime when people are off duty.
- 25 car chorus: Dispatch system like an orchestra conductor, dozens of cars do not crash and get stuck
A leading chemical fibre company used this scheme, and the workplace injuries went straight to zero! The original workers to move three boxes have to rest, now the machine humming and humming dry all night, capacitySoaring 40%--The boss could wake up laughing in his sleep.
The "Flash" of e-commerce warehouses.
Cross-border e-commerce spelled fast! Zhongke Micro to Southeast Asia warehouse installed flying fork system, the effect is explosive:
- Automated order takingThe "Eye in the Sky" system scans the cargo, and RCS immediately dispatches an order to an available flying fork.
- Cross-database shuttle: Runs fully automated from picking area to shipping area, faster than a human.3 times
- Farewell to manual accounts: The system automatically generates an inventory list, so you don't have to stay up all night taking inventory.
The best thing is to solve the problem of "long distance handling". In the old days, if you wanted to install a conveyor belt in a warehouse, you'd have to tear down half the factory! Have to tear down half of the plant! Now the flying forks move between the shelves, and the space utilisation rateLift 35%, proper warehouse space wizard.
The tyre factory's "cross-deck flyer".
What is the most annoying rubber factory? Rubber pallets are heavy and love deformation! Lingong Zhike in the tyre factory put 57 sets of flying fork AGV, the operation is very tawdry:
- an expert hand at adjusting the distance (e.g. on a balance sheet): Automatic recognition of deformed pallets, clamping armsadaptive adjustment
- Cross-Floor Parkour: Ramps, roll-up doors all taken down, 7 doors opening and closing automatically
- Old factory saviour: Bumpy steel flooring, reduced tyre wear and tear.50%
This factory used to use 10 forklift trucks and 24 workers, but now the machine can handle the work of 70%.Two years to pay back.! The night shift is no longer necessary to keep people, and truly realised the "black light factory".
▶ A personal pat on the back
Flying fork conveyors are in high demand nowadays, but well...
- Initial flesh painBonfiglioli's solution saves 20% energy consumption, but a set of top half a year's labour wages.
- Difficulty in transforming old plants: Like page 8 says, uneven floors have to be rectified first, another sum of money
- Operator transitionWorkers have to learn the scheduling system, teachers are easily confused
But then again, CSC Micro to predicts that within five years70% is required in all factories.. After all, labour is getting more and more expensive, the machine 24 hours a day work without social security - this account, the shrewd bosses have figured out! The next time you go to the factory and see a flying fork busy, you will be able to blow with your peers: "See? This is the future!"
