- Robot automatic intelligent equipment
At the beginning of Robot Revolution, many enterprises have set foot on the "no return" of factory automation, and fully automated production lines have begun to appear sporadically in large enterprises. However, despite the government's great efforts to promote the robot substitution policy, many enterprises are actively introducing technology. After the bustle, the equipment is only "hung" in the production workshop.

Why do some companies obviously has resorted to the universe, or little?
The following are the five misunderstandings that the expert has summed up the automation of the factory. Do you look at the thunder?
The application of robots is one of the most representative aspects of automation upgrading, but it is not equal to solving all problems. The pneumatic hydraulic control and the automation of non standard equipment are also one of the most important means to realize automation. In particular, some special applications, the robot can not solve, non - standard automation equipment is the answer. Automatic upgrading, must not only look at the robot, a variety of channels is the best.
As an intelligent device, the robot is not easy to install and debug. Ignoring the development (or two development) and applications of the robot will cause many robots to be bought back and not used properly. Let's make an analogy between robots and sports players. A group of good athletes (robots) plus a good coach (system integrator) is the key to win the whole team.
True automation upgrading is not a simple job or a replacement of a machine, but an extremely complex system engineering. Need to do from the beginning of automation, automation technology is relatively mature, from the factory to upgrade the site to start, step by step, must not be a step in the pursuit of.
Products produced by automated production lines should have enough yield. Product design and technology should be advanced, stable and reliable, and remain unchanged for a long time. Not all processes are suitable for automation. The use of automatic lines in large quantities and large quantities of production has significant economic benefits.
In recent years, the concept of industrial 4 and China made 2025 is so hot that many enterprises blindly follow the wind. The manufacturing enterprises should pay more attention to the solutions of the actual technology and problems. When the general management automation is developed with information as the core technology, the era of industrial 4 will emerge as the times require.

1, listen and understand your needs carefully
An automated system is used to assemble the production workshop to make production. The purpose is to have the maximum efficiency ratio for product production and quality control. We need to go to the production department and be familiar with the process of production. It is necessary to study which process is the short plate of the production process, which process can be automated instead of manual.
Analyze the return on investment based on the combination of short-term business needs and long-term goals. Don't just look at today or a few years and decide on the equipment you need to buy.
2. Training and recruiting talents
If it is necessary to innovate technology, it is necessary to have relative technical talents. The automation assembly workshop is bound to have a lot of equipment, the talent of the company needs the ability of fast learning, and can be familiar with the system of the integrator as soon as possible.
3. Clear the responsible party
Both the integrator and the end user are responsible for ensuring the normal production process. The integrator needs to provide the equipment that meets the requirements of the customer and the expert level guidance according to the demand. The customer is responsible for providing the relevant information needed for the production equipment.

Industrial robotics automation integration industry has not been up for many years in China. At present, there is no reliable level of integrator in China. Then we cannot protect our choices based on these associations or official certification. So what kind of integrator is relatively reliable?
1. The appropriate scale
As a robot system supplier, the scale is very important. This is a large and full robot provider, such as domestic SIASUN, foreign ABB, system integration and robot ontology. It is also a small and sophisticated robot supplier with only a small number of employees, such as UR, such as KMT.
Big does not represent better, and small does not mean that strength is not enough.
2, professional field
A qualified integrator is aimed at industry application integration. They are not only familiar with industrial robots, but also need to understand the production standards, production requirements and production processes of the industry. A good robotic company, a robot system that can't be done well. It must be a robot that can produce a customer's product, not a robot itself, to the customer.
3. Professional engineer team and project management team
When contacting with professional robot system integrators, their professional technicians or sales will usually provide detailed engineering management and implementation details, which will listen to your needs, and suggest that you carry out a feasibility analysis or pre trial production. You can understand the composition of the integrators, see whether there are many experts or engineers for many years, or a large number of young freshmen.
4. Professional documents
Professional robot system integrators, in general, have their standard products, and also have technical documents for their standard products. In general, they make independent technical documents for different customers. If it is a foreign builders, they will also provide translation documents, of course, this part may produce costs.
5. A spare part of the promise
Although the stability of industrial robots has developed considerably in the past few years, they are still machines. The world has never been invented or never wear perpetual motion machine, therefore, your robot there will still be some fault. Therefore, it is necessary to know whether your supplier can provide you with the necessary spare parts.
6. Professional service
If your company is a small and medium-sized enterprise, training a set of system technical attendants is a huge expense, that is to say, you may most of the problems depend on your suppliers.
A professional system integrator will have a special service department to deal with the problem of equipment service. They generally provide telephone support, mail support, or their device assembly has remote support functions.
7. Clear warranty
The last thing to understand is some of the questions about the warranty. Must be clear is that they provide warranty period, the warranty is based on three shifts, such as time limited warranty.
