Chapter 1084

Flexible manufacturing system, which is a technology studied by mechanical powers all over the world, but few countries have made much progress. For most companies studying this field, this project is actually just an integration of production equipment.

For those who do not understand this industry, flexible manufacturing system is just a series of different types of equipment arranged according to the process. But for the 91 Research Institute, this is not enough.

If only such a system, how can it become a scientific research project worth hundreds of billions? And the time required is still very long. I don't know when the results can be achieved?

What the 91 Research Institute tries its best to build is a truly unmanned manufacturing workshop.

This is basically the top integration of various technologies in the world. This is almost what cloud wants to show the old man.

This technology has been studied by many companies since the rise and application of CNC machine tools. In 1967, British Mullins company first developed "system 24" according to the basic concept of FMS proposed by Williamson. In the same year, American white Sunderland company built omniline I system, It is composed of eight machining centers and two multi axis drilling machines. The workpiece is installed in the fixture on the pallet and transmitted and processed between the machine tools at a certain beat in a fixed sequence.

However, these are not really flexible manufacturing systems.

Until 1976, Japan's farak company exhibited the flexible manufacturing unit (FMC) composed of machining center and industrial robot, which provided an important equipment form for the development of FMS.

These are just the rudiments of a tradition.

Although it is a flexible manufacturing system, there is no way to judge the degree of tool wear in the machining process because of technical reasons and computer performance problems. Therefore, the equipment is a complete production line, but the operation is manual.

The most typical manifestation is some unmanned automatic production lines that have begun to appear in the world. The main performance is the welding production line of the automobile factory and the automatic coating workshop. As for the stamping production line, because many molds weigh several tons or even dozens of tons, the robot simply has no way to accurately replace these molds at any time.

More importantly, these robots have no way to identify whether the tool is worn or whether there is a problem. After all, they are automatically judged by the robot. As long as they do not reach the time set by the computer, they will not be replaced at all. At that time, a large number of waste products will be processed.

This is a problem for the whole world.

At the same time, the of this project can not be studied with less than $20 billion. Yun Fei knows this thing. Naturally, he knows that 100 billion yuan is simply impossible to succeed in the research of this project.

However, no matter how much money, the purpose of his 91 Research Institute is to unswervingly strive in this direction. No matter how much money is invested, it can't be studied like those foreign companies, because the capital consumption is too large, it has been studied slowly.

There is a big gap between China and foreign countries in this regard.

The research project established by Yunfei's 91 Research Institute is not just such a simple integration, but directly uses robots to replace operators. This is not the most basic application of Japanese farak, and the Japanese are also moving in this direction.

Until many years later, the Japanese will find that they have actually entered a dead end and made a mistake.

Just like the former Soviet Union.

In fact, the flexible manufacturing system studied by the Japanese can only be regarded as an upgraded template for large-scale special aircraft production in the former Soviet Union.

Why does Yunfei study robots that can run around in the whole group?

We should know that such a robot is not only more expensive, but also far from being fixed in one position. It can only be responsible for one or two work steps. Even like welding robots, industrial robots that need several or even dozens of robots to complete a process can be compared.

Of course, the flexible manufacturing system studied by the 91 Research Institute is not the kind of system the world thinks, but the kind of system understood according to the cloud.

Everything is a production mode that uses robots to replace human operation.

Once such a production system is completed, basically most manufacturing machinery enterprises in the world will lose their jobs!

Because they don't need management, quality inspection and all kinds of miscellaneous workers. What they need is a super powerful computer and engineers who can ensure the safe and barrier free operation of the processing process from raw materials to final products.

These engineers will be born in the future from 91 University.

At that time, what will appear in China will not be a labor shortage, but a dilemma of high unemployment.

These have nothing to do with cloud Fei. What he needs to do is to build his own intelligent industrial empire. It is best to reach the level that only various managers and technicians are needed in the end, and no ordinary skilled workers are needed.

It is not easy to find a large number of skilled workers after the country's large-scale enrollment expansion and even college students sweeping the road.

Moreover, when the labor cost increases, the prices of various products fall, the currency depreciates, and the gross profit of the manufacturing industry drops to only a few percentage points, only the machine talents who do not need to consider the house, marriage and pay various insurance are the cheapest labor force.

"Boss, why are you here?" Su Yue, 43, who has rarely appeared in the Research Institute, was surprised that the boss appeared here and returned home from Siemens equipment manufacturing group in Germany.

This guy used to be a publicly funded student at Huaqing University in the 1980s. He studied in Germany and then went to Mitsubishi group in Japan. Finally, he entered GM Group in the United States because of discrimination. After a short time in Germany, he was fooled back by Deng Lanqing. The reason why he changed jobs to the three countries with the strongest industry and the three machinery companies with the strongest technical strength in the world in more than ten years, but SuYue didn't get any good treatment. Even, he is often discriminated against, which is why he wants to return to China.

Yunfei didn't like this guy at first because he jumped too many companies in a short time.

If a person engaged in technology has too many ideas irrelevant to technology, he will not achieve anything at all. However, Deng Lanqing and Sun Lin jointly assured him that Yunfei had no way but to let Deng Lanqing take it easy.

This project is likely to lose all his wealth.

Anyway, now this guy doesn't have much time to go to the 91 Research Institute, and Yunfei has arranged for someone to stare at him. If he is a commercial spy, Yunfei will definitely make him regret coming to the world.

"It's all right. I just came to see the situation here." Yun Fei nodded to Su Yue and said calmly.

The laboratory workshop of the 91 Research Institute is very large, and the bottom floor has long been insufficient. For this project, Yunfei once again established a light steel structure workshop with an area of more than 3000 square meters next to the experimental building, and moved the whole unmanned production workshop project to it.

A large number of CNC machine tools show an assembly line. In the middle of three or five CNC machine tools, there is an industrial robot with a height of several meters, several industrial robots that can rotate in all directions, and many cables tied together and suspended.

Many robots with different shapes and functions, which rely on electricity to drive wheels, move orderly inside.

Such a scene gives people a sense of orderly disorder. Messy, because of congestion, and many test equipment are only some key parts in order to save cost. Many CNC machine tools are not equipped with shields at all, and the cables with various functions are not hidden outside the industrial robots.

Because each component of the system is dispersed according to different functions and is very open, it was originally a pipeline for overall research, but the progress of the research progress is very slow.

The welding robot needed by Geely Group and the completely unmanned welding robot production line that Yunfei wants to build for Jiuyi automobile factory are also here. Nothing else, just these CNC machine tools, industrial robots and comprehensive automatic robots cost more than 100 million. These gadgets have to invest more transformation funds because of the continuous improvement of their functions.

These are just the most intuitive display of hardware facilities.

Although this project is only a project and has a huge area of thousands of square meters, it is still crowded for the project that the cloud has not smashed into a large amount of research funds. An industrial robot can not be responsible for too many things, and in order to research progress, it is often a research meeting to make two or even three identical test samples at the same time. This is just to keep the research progress, and will not stop because of the sudden discovery of problems or the need for improvement.

"The current control accuracy is still not. The main reason is that our computer function is not powerful enough... "Su Yue didn't come to the 91 Research Institute for a long time, only less than half a month. He didn't know a lot of things, but before he saw this workshop, he absolutely didn't expect such a large-scale research on automation in China.

At the beginning, the reason why he was willing to come to the 91 Research Institute was not only Deng Lanqing's deception, but also his annual salary of $1 million a year. Even in Germany, his annual salary is only 240000 a year!
