Flexible manufacturing is a customer-oriented production method aimed at achieving high-efficiency, high-quality and high-flexibility production.
- The characteristics of flexible manufacturing are highly automated
Flexible Manufacturing System
It has the characteristics of high automation, which can greatly reduce the degree of manual intervention and improve production efficiency and production quality.
high flexibility
The flexible manufacturing system can quickly adjust the production process and production line according to customer needs to adapt to changes in market demand and achieve highly flexible production.
highly integrated
The flexible manufacturing system can integrate all links in the production process, so as to realize the automation and informatization of the production process, and improve the production efficiency and production quality.
- Advantages of flexible manufacturing to improve production efficiency
The flexible manufacturing system has the characteristics of high automation and high integration, which can greatly improve production efficiency and reduce production costs.
Improve production quality
The flexible manufacturing system can realize the monitoring and control of the production process through the means of automation and informationization, so as to improve the production quality.
Improve customer satisfaction
The flexible manufacturing system can quickly adjust the production process and production line according to customer needs to adapt to changes in market demand, thereby improving customer satisfaction.
- Applications of Flexible Manufacturing
Flexible manufacturing systems are widely used in electronics, automobiles, machinery and other manufacturing industries to meet the market's production needs for high efficiency, high quality and high flexibility. In the future, with the continuous development of intelligent manufacturing technology, flexible manufacturing systems will be applied in more fields.
- Flexible Manufacturing and Traditional Manufacturing
When it comes to flexible manufacturing, we have to compare traditional manufacturing. Traditional manufacturing is characterized by mass production of a single variety. Under the new manufacturing environment, this production mode can no longer satisfy the diversity and complexity of market products, so a new production mode, namely flexible manufacturing, has emerged.
The biggest feature of flexible manufacturing is that it can realize single-species and small-batch production, and different products can be produced simultaneously on the assembly line. Then in this process, MES is particularly important for the control of production. Process personnel can realize the process independence of each station by setting the formula of different products in MES to ensure that each product can be produced in a specific process environment. MES can complete the horizontal line setting of the line side inventory through the analysis of the production scheduling plan, so as to ensure the sufficient production materials of each product.
Therefore, flexible manufacturing is inseparable from the control of MES, which makes flexible manufacturing widely used in the current manufacturing environment.
