Second, the challenges we face
In 2015, Suzhou Hangruicheng was fortunate to participate in the construction of Best intelligent workshop, and cooperated with Best to make intelligent manufacturing transformation of the whole machining workshop. The workshop has hundreds of advanced machining centers, mainly producing automotive turbocharger parts, production batch is very large, complex processing technology, high quality requirements. So there are many types of cutting tools, and the consumption is huge.
Before the tool management using manual accounting, manual statistics, old for new, employees own knife to knife mode, but in the face of 24 hours of production workshop production, tool use a huge number of manual management can not meet the needs of management. Problems such as discrepancies in monthly inventory accounts and unattended management and control of night shift are very prominent.
The management of tool actual consumption data, machine tool, work order, product processing consumption of tool cost, quantity, completely blank, only ERP management ledger, but the detailed tool cost, classification did not cover.
Iii. Brief introduction of Project construction
During the planning and construction of intelligent manufacturing workshop, Best sorted out the whole machining and manufacturing process and integrated the whole system of ERP, MES, intelligent tool cabinet system, tool setting instrument, machine tool data acquisition, etc. The tool pipe system of the whole process from ERP work order, intelligent tool cabinet work order leading tool, tool setting instrument matching tool, RFID chip data flow to machine tool complement, tool life collection and record, tool life expiration reminding tool change, smart tool cabinet replacing old tool with new.
Iv. Introduction to the use of intelligent tool cabinet
In 2016, 2 sets of Hangruicheng intelligent cutting tool cabinet were adopted, and the feedback effect was very good. In 2017, 4 sets were added, and so far, the customer feedback is very good! It is also well received by a number of customers who visit and exchange!
