Business background

With the rise of automated factories, labor costs have been greatly reduced, and work efficiency has been continuously improved. Automatic assembly lines have replaced manual assembly. Automatic assembly lines are a special product-oriented layout and an important production technology of assembly line equipment. It is more and more widely used in industries such as electronic assembly, food assembly, and automobile component assembly. On the one hand, it reduces the labor cost of the original discrete manual assembly. On the other hand, it also reduces the management cost of the entire factory, and improves the labor skills. Caused by bad products.

Industry Status

A small amount of diversification and restraint demand will guide the future manufacturing industry, and the improvement of assembly manufacturing efficiency will become a compulsory subject. However, traditional assembly lines cannot collect data in real time, making it difficult to effectively control assembly quality. It can not help manufacturers realize the visual management of assembly benefits, and quickly promote total quality management.

Applications

Apqi works with a large domestic manufacturer to use the Internet of Things architecture and technology to coordinate the production information of each operation station and assembly line, collect the assembly production data process, connect the tools required for the assembly operation station into one, and record the number of completions of each operation station , Real-time collection of assembly process data. Establish a device TPM management system, use an industrial computer to control the production line, and upload the real-time grounding status to the server through the serial port to provide accurate real-time monitoring information. It is convenient for producers to visually manage assembly benefits.

How to directly provide real-time and accurate production data for the automatic assembly line system is the primary issue facing the production line. This solution puts forward requirements on the data processing capability of the control hardware and stable multi-channel:

➤ 4-core 2.0Ghz low-power processor

➤ Multi-point capacitive touch screen

➤ Iterative support for modular products

➤ Low-power fanless design

➤ Earthquake / shock resistance, required to match the site environment

➤ Support wireless and multiple interface communication

➤ 24V industrial field power input

Product application import

For the vertical application of industry, Apkey professionally provides industrial computer series products. Combined with the company's business requirements and application environment, the industrial-grade wide-screen capacitor integrated machine P21CQ-E5 is introduced. It is an Apqi modular product. Bay Trail single-chip platform development, directly onboard high-speed memory. The aluminum alloy shell with full mold die-casting and large area aluminum fin fanless heat dissipation design ensures its solid body and high reliability and stable operation. Modular panel design, tightly fit with the 10-point capacitive touch screen on the tempered glass surface, so that the front panel has a better visual ratio and flat surface, which can achieve IP65 protection level and wider temperature adaptation. Suitable for applications such as automation, MES, environmental protection, chemical industry, etc. In this project, the application of P21CQ-E5 in the automated production line mainly reflects the following advantages:

➤ Using J1900 low-power single-chip processor, while demonstrating the concept of environmental protection, it can also ensure that the equipment is put into use for a long time, so that it can work stably for a long life. The anti-sticking zero-distance fanless heat dissipation scheme, coupled with the wide-voltage power input performance, can meet the workshop's long-term production and application environment.

➤ Full-mold aluminum alloy shell and onboard high-speed memory, with a stronger body and impact resistance.

➤ Modular product portfolio to easily respond to product performance iterations.

➤ The 16: 9 display of ultra-low power LED backlight, excellent color and uniform brightness performance, a wider visual experience, improve the worker's operating experience, and also ensure the long life of the product.

➤ Adopting EETI industrial-grade 10-point touch control scheme, excellent algorithm and protection ability, can provide smooth, accurate and continuous touch response for efficient pipeline operations on site.

➤ Dual Intel Gigabit network, dual serial ports (isolated RS485), high-speed USB, etc., plus dual-band WiFi wireless, can easily deal with multi-channel data acquisition and control, and can maintain accurate networking in real time.

➤ DC 9 ~ 28V wide voltage power supply input characteristics, overvoltage short-circuit protection and other protection measures can protect it from interference and damage from complex circuits on the industrial site, ensuring the smooth progress of the production line.
