May 1st AI labor | Smart factory came to a "new" colleague: "My robot colleague is busier than me"
On the busy production line, fully automated robots play the main force, and only a few workers operate the equipment in the large production workshop. … Now, “ Smart factory ” More and more frequently into the public eye. The sci-fi imagery that once existed in cyberpunk movies is now a real reality. The first phase of the May Day special planning, the reporter walked into the smart factory of Lake Electric, industrial robots have become the workers' “ New ” Help.
Lake Electric Smart factory
Robot colleagues 24 hours “ High energy ”
During the May Day holiday, Lake Electric's smart factory was still a busy scene. Hundreds of industrial robots and hundreds of employees have become intimate “ Colleagues ” They are busy with their work cleanly in their respective areas, and only sporadic workers in the spacious factory room touch the computer display screen or the button on the operating workbench from time to time.
At 8 o 'clock in the morning, the night shift and day shift of the workshop of the first electric motor factory were handed over. The first thing Yang Jun, the director of the workshop, did was to check the robots on the production line. Colleagues ” The working state. Robot “ Colleagues ” Yang Jun has been working all night, although they do not need to sleep, eat, but still keep an eye on these “ Colleagues ” “ Health ” Condition to ensure smooth production.
“ It's my job to do it. Keep an eye on Make sure they work. Make sure they work. ” Yang Jun, who has worked in the workshop for 16 years, has experienced both traditional and intelligent production lines. His new job is to look after 14 robots in the entire production line at the same time, and carry out troubleshooting when necessary. Now, one employee can manage the entire production line, compared to the traditional model of 13 people. ”
In the aisle between the production lines, the AGV logistics transport car shuttles back and forth on the ground, sends the products after winding and spot welding to the drop paint room, and then returns the products completed by the drop paint to the production line, realizing the unmanned transportation of materials within the entire factory, saving more than 50 transportation workers. “ A car of products is very heavy, there are three hundred and five hundred kilograms! These cars are more than ten years old. Length of service. MHM. ” Zhang Chunhui, deputy general manager of the motor Division, said that intelligent manufacturing has increased the production efficiency of the workshop labor force by 60%, and the scrap rate of the main material has also been reduced by 60%. “ It is still more than 1,000 people, but the overall output value created has nearly doubled, and the labor intensity of front-line employees has also been greatly reduced. ”
AI Visual inspection
The production line managed by Yang Jun produces a qualified rotor (the core part of the motor) every 12 seconds as long as raw materials are thrown in from one end of the line. The reporter had a hands-on experience of technology “ Magic ” Press the button on the screen, the robot on the production line “ Act according to orders ” : Flexible automated robot arm, busy and orderly conveyor belt, production line “ Iron Man ” In spite of their size, they did extremely delicate work, spot welding, turning, balancing. … Every link is full of intelligence and efficiency.
After manufacturing, how to ensure the quality of the product?
“ The production line before the thirteen processes, the product is finished, and now the fourteenth key process has been added. ” Zhang Chunhui shows reporters the &ldquo on this production line; New employee ” — — “ AI visual inspection ” . Although “ Take up a post ” It's not long, but it's been through three iterations of upgrades. Compared with the previous manual sampling, equivalent to invite “ AI Quality Inspector ” For each product “ Find fault ” To achieve product online detection, real-time output of defect results, greatly improving the product detection rate.
The reporter saw that the vision inspection robot can take five photos of each product at once through high-definition cameras and image recognition technology. “ Compared to the human eye, it can see more angles, no matter the small flaw or imperceptible flaw, can not escape it. One's eyes are piercing. . ” Zhang Chunhui “ New employee ” The performance is very satisfactory, “ Our product acceptance rate has increased from 96% to 99%, and the testing standards are constantly improving. ”
Except “ Diligence ” AI testers are still very “ Studious ” . It can repeatedly learn defect data and good product data, and with the continuous deep learning of big data, the detection accuracy and detection efficiency will continue to improve. “ This is also the basis for our confidence in our products. ” Between words, Yang Jun always reveals the robots “ Colleagues ” Deep feelings. Because these industrial robots bring him not only physical liberation, but also a change of identity.
The introduction of robots, no “ The end ” The position of front-line workers, but to create a new mode of production.
A construction and security light on the production line suddenly flashed red and issued an alarm, and Yang Jun quickly went to deal with the fault and resumed the operation of the production line, the whole process did not take more than 1 minute. “ We no longer bury our heads in the sand. Coolie; Instead, they become skilled workers who not only know the manufacturing process, but also operate and maintain smart equipment and are familiar with the parameter Settings. ”
At the entrance of the production room, there are two electronic screens. The reporter saw on the screen that the machine that Yang Jun had just repaired broke down for the first time today, and the maintenance time was 1 minute.
In order to operate the smart factory freely, Zhang Chunhui and his colleagues put a lot of effort in the place where outsiders can not see. In this smart, connected factory, each device in the production line is equipped with sensors that collect data about products and equipment at all stages of the production process. More figuratively understood, like a “ Digital neural network” Cloth and every corner of the production line, it can collect the various data scattered in the workshop, as small as an electric welding rod, the position and life of the finishing tool, can be counted clearly.
Although the number of workers has fallen sharply, people still play a key role in the entire production line.
“ Most of the various automatic programs used by robots were developed by engineers. We are in close contact with the machine in the production line, so we know what needs to be improved. ” Yang Jun and the workers on the front line gave full play to their wisdom and constantly improved the operation of the machine in the production observation.
“ The designer and improver of the machine are people, and talent is our greatest wealth. ” Zhang Chunhui said with emotion.
