1734 High-tech unmanned production workshops appear
Many of Zhao Min's experiments were not fully disclosed to Liu Yijiu.
But it is also unclear to the people of the Impossible Management Committee. The decisions they made together are far more effective than those made by Liu Yijiu.
What's more, this is also related to themselves. It's not about being for the public or for the private. After all, they are all for the country and for the private is also for the public. What's more, this is taking a very big risk. If something happens, the Ninth Academy will face great pressure; if the consequences are mentioned, how many people are willing to do it? They volunteer to participate in the experiment and are known by others, and will only be stopped.
Liu Yijiu has always disagreed and is worried that they will have an accident.
Anyway, there are no secrets in the Ninth Court, and at the same time, there are secrets everywhere in the Ninth Court.
Liu Yijiu came back and discussed with Zhao Min to speed up the experiment of genetic medicine. As soon as he was about to devote himself to the research of electromagnetic guns, he got good news that he had not expected.
The unmanned production workshop of the Ninth Hospital, with industrial robots as the main body, was the first to make breakthroughs in many projects of the Ninth Hospital!
This was beyond Liu Yijiu's expectations and reasonable.
This is a basic civilian project that will occupy an important position in the world in the next few decades.
"The entire workshop is produced by various types of industrial robots, and even the handling work is handled by the robot. The role of human employees is mainly used for technical maintenance, debugging when replacing products, and monitoring the operation of the production line..." In the third district, Lu Dako, chief engineer responsible for the research and development of the unmanned robot production workshop, introduced the situation to Liu Yijiu. "All processing equipment is all general processing centers, and the efficiency of manufacturing large-scale industrial products will be very high..."
Liu Yijiu had this idea many years ago in an unmanned production workshop.
From the beginning of CNC machine tools, he wanted to create a truly complete unmanned production workshop.
However, it is not easy to build completely successfully.
This requires a lot of related technology.
"Have you ever conducted experiments in production?" When Liu Yijiu followed Lu Dako to the processing experiment workshop in District 3, Lu Dako introduced the details in general. He hoped that he could fully invest in the application of industrial production.
Lu Dako said proudly, "We have been experimenting for a long time. The entire production workshop is not the type of welding production robots like their automobile factory. They can only perform welding. Even during the welding process, many personnel need to cooperate. In our workshop, there are even fewer personnel demands. To build a production workshop, only three engineers, about five technicians, and two managers can make the entire workshop run completely efficiently..."
An unmanned production workshop, ten people?
This will become very common in the next few decades, but it is still the late twentieth century and has not entered the mid-twentieth century.
Seeing that Liu Yijiu was a little confused, Lu Dako did not express any dissatisfaction, but continued to explain, "All production tasks are released by the central control computer. Here, a manager needs to input production tasks into the system. At the same time, engineers need to program and technicians debug the entire production line. If they only produce products of the same type and different sizes, when changing the products, there must be technicians who need to replace the tooling and fixtures. Industrial robots cannot do this by themselves..."
This made Liu Yijiu understand.
Use a central computer to replace the management system. When the order comes back, it is directly input to the computer in the unmanned workshop that manages the entire production process, so that the computer can make production adjustments based on the production capacity. At the same time, in this process, materials will be arranged according to the technical requirements on the drawings and various conditions set inside, and there is no need for many managers.
Production and equipment are all CNC machine tools controlled by program. Outside the CNC machine tools, robots replace the operators, clamping parts, and even tools, which are operated by robots.
The handling during the production process, from one process to the next, is entirely done by a walking and handling robot connected to the central control computer of the production workshop, with visual sensing capabilities and precise positioning capabilities.
According to Lu Dako's introduction, this is indeed the unmanned production workshop that Liu Yijiu initially requested to adapt to the future large-scale industrial production.
China is currently developing rapidly, with a population of more than one billion giving China a much richer labor resource than any country on this earth. However, the family planning policy will allow China to enter labor shortage and labor costs to suddenly arise in the next ten years. This will be the biggest challenge China faces.
Robots replace humans to do some simple and repetitive work, which is the future development trend.
Even to a high enough technical level, robots will replace human work in many fields.
Whether robots will cause humans to lose their jobs, Liu Yijiu has never considered such a thing. Robots will never completely replace humans, no matter when it is. Maybe one day in the future, there will be even robots that will destroy humans, but that cannot be achieved in a short period of time.
It's not something Liu Yijiu needs to worry about.
Using robots to engage in repetitive machinery work on assembly lines is of great benefit to the Ninth Hospital civil products unit.
On the automobile production line, many parts require efficient assembly line production, and the computer industry even needs robot assembly line, and even some other electronic products and electrical products...
Since the time when the Ninth Hospital was originally managed by itself, the high welfare of labor-intensive industries for personnel has seriously affected the profitability of civilian products units.
When he arrived at the mechanical experiment workshop in District 3, Liu Yijiu found that he hadn't come here for a long time and was already unfamiliar with him.
The factory buildings in the third district are more densely constructed than before. The newly built light steel structure factory is mixed with the original Su-style bricks and wood built in the 1960s and 1970s, which has a sense of historical vicissitudes and a more modern feel...
None of these matters, what is important is the various equipment in these workshops.
It turns out that those old-fashioned processing equipment can no longer be seen in the workshop.
The use of a large number of CNC machine tools has replaced ordinary machining machines that originally had higher requirements for technical workers, which has greatly improved the processing capacity here.
CNC machine tools have become the core processing equipment in Jiuyuanshan. Using these equipment solves Jiuyuan’s lack of technical talents.
The emergence of ordinary industrial robots will allow the Ninth Hospital to have an assembly line that can replace the demand for a huge number of people. In this way, labor-intensive enterprises can solve the problem of excessive employment costs and insufficient production efficiency for ordinary workers. They do not even have to face the problems of large-scale personnel loss and poor stability.
When Liu Yijiu arrived at the test workshop, he could not see any other workshops in front of each equipment. There were technical workers wearing gray-blue work clothes, and there were not even many people in the entire workshop. Only some technical engineers wearing white anti-static work clothes were debugging the equipment.
Different types of equipment are neatly distributed in the workshop. In front of each or two CNC machine tools is a new type of robot robot. The top of each robot is used to grab items.
It seems to give people a situation that is like entering a mechanical forest.
However, such a scene also gives people a feeling of a little confusion. Industrial robots in different locations are completely different.
"Most of the industrial robots here are different!" Liu Yijiu raised his own question, "Is there no serialization? If promoted, this will cause great inconvenience..."
"No, most of our joint robots have common accessories, and the technical core is the same, and the control system is exactly the same, but some of them are designed differently according to the needs of use. We are a test workshop, not a workshop that specializes in producing single products, so joint robots are specially made. The tools, tool fixtures, etc. that replace CNC machine tools are all designed with different designs..." Lu Dako introduced.
Liu Yijiu couldn't help but smile and asked in disbelief, "Even when changing tooling and fixtures, do you use robots? What about when the production line is adjusted?"
According to the current introduction and the various models of joint robots arranged in front of CNC machine tools, it can be confirmed that the joint robots in front of many machine tools are not the kind of robots with a single function.
However, changing the fixture and tooling requires manual setting, and some parameters need to be modified.
Robots can do this, but the cost is too high, which is much higher than that of ordinary technicians who adjust the machine.
It is very difficult to implement current technology.
"Yes, but special designs are required on the workbench of CNC machine tools, tool fixtures, etc., so that the robot can adjust the conditions set inside. At the same time, it is necessary to check before the technician clamps the tool to the tool to ensure that the set value range can be reached before entering the backup tool magazine..."
This is quite complicated.
The technical requirements are very high. The loss of tool during machining is inevitable. Different materials, different processing parameters and wear rates are different.
Only by using technicians to do it is the most suitable.
Liu Yijiu frowned and looked at the joint robot in front of him, doubting the technical capabilities of this unmanned workshop.
Chapter completed!
