1、 Is it necessary to deploy automation equipment in the process? Generally, the introduction of automation equipment to replace manual operation is considered in the following situations:

1. Poor working environment, such as spraying and welding operations;

2. Manual operation leads to unstable product quality or failure to meet customer requirements;

3. The product is large or heavy, making manual operation difficult.

4. The production cycle and lifespan of the product are long. For automation solely aimed at saving manpower, I suggest careful evaluation.

2、 Is the process suitable for deploying automated equipment

1. Component stability: Is the quality of the product flowing downstream stable. If the components are unstable, the quality of the products processed by the equipment may not be as good as manual labor, and it may also cause frequent shutdowns of the equipment.

2. Complexity of operation: The complexity of operation determines the cost of automation equipment and the feasibility of automation equipment technology. Even for industrial robots, complex assembly operations are difficult to achieve.

3. Packaging method of components: If you want to achieve automatic feeding, you need to change the original packaging method so that the feeding mechanical device can grab the components. The cost increase caused by changing the packaging method needs to be included in the automation cost.

4. Separability of components: If automatic feeding is desired, the separability of components needs to be evaluated. Especially for small components such as screws.

3、 How can automated design meet the requirements of lean mode

1. Use small devices for single tasks instead of large devices for multitasking; The more complex the equipment, the higher the cost, the poorer the reliability, and the lower the flexibility to respond to changes in demand;

2. Do not blindly pursue high-speed equipment, and the efficiency of equipment should be based on meeting demand and ensuring product quality.

3. Try to avoid batch processing equipment as much as possible. Although batch processing equipment has certain advantages in efficiency, it can hinder flow and make the production cycle too long. The second thing to pay attention to when choosing non-standard automation equipment is the issue of after-sales service. Once a machine like this, which is expensive, has a problem and needs to be repaired, it will incur a considerable cost. So, everyone needs to choose an automation equipment manufacturer with good after-sales service. They can not only provide home delivery and installation services for the purchaser, but also immediately repair the machine if any problems occur during use. This can minimize the impact of machine applause on the purchaser's production activities. The third thing to pay attention to when choosing non-standard automation equipment is the price issue. Price is a very sensitive topic, and I believe all buyers hope to buy better equipment with less money. However, we all know that price and product quality are linked. So, we cannot blindly indulge in small bargains and buy machines that are cheap. Although these machines are relatively cheap when purchased, they are definitely not as good as those slightly more expensive ones during use, and the maintenance and repair costs for these machines in the later stage are also considerable.
