Heron Intelligent Equipment Helps Dishwasher Cabinet Production Line Realize "Intellectual Leap"
Under the wave of consumer upgrading, the dishwasher market is booming, and consumer enthusiasm continues to rise, showing a strong momentum of development. However, behind this booming market, the production line is caught in the double dilemma of efficiency and quality. In order to solve these problems, the customer chooses to cooperate with Guangzhou Heron Intelligent Equipment to build a new automated production line in the home appliance industry to realize efficient, flexible and intelligent production upgrade.
（1）Issues and challenges
According to the depth of communication with customers, we focus on the analysis of the current dishwasher equipment, there are three major problems, directly hit the production line "lifeline".
First, the production beat lag: the old riveting equipment single machine beat is slow, low efficiency, difficult to match the customer's order growth rate demand;
Second, the lack of compatibility: a single tooling is only adapted to 2-3 types of box models, the product iteration cycle is shortened, and frequent changes lead to a high rate of downtime;
Third, manpower relies on a serious: manual loading accounted for more than 70% of the labor costs accounted for a high proportion of the quality consistency is affected by the subjective factors.
（2）Heron intelligent Equipment is equipped with a "one-stop" solution.
Heron has overcome the pain point, based on the flexible intelligent manufacturing system, to build an efficient production line for dishwasher cabinet, and designed a modular and expandable intelligent production line system for dishwasher cabinet:
1. Multi-point synchronized riveting workstation
Adopting a multi-point linkage riveting workstation to realize efficiency improvement, meanwhile, through the system precision algorithm, the riveting precision control is carried out, and the yield rate jumps up.
2. Servo-type change system
Development of an intelligent changeover mechanism, support for a variety of box-type fast switching, equipment utilization rate is effectively improved, and increases the compatibility of each workstation.
3. Man-machine cooperative feeding design
Innovative dual-channel feeding system, compatible with manual feeding and automatic conveying, supports seamless upgrade to fully automatic mode, for customers to reserve space for automation expansion.
（3）Results and values
1. Capacity double rise: daily capacity to break through the previous year's delivery, delivery cycle shortened, order responsiveness significantly enhanced;
2. Cost optimization: changeover time-consuming greatly reduced, the proportion of labor costs is down, while reducing the investment in equipment maintenance fees, saving customer operating costs;
3. Technological breakthrough: to achieve different materials box (stainless steel / galvanized sheet) process adaptive matching.
4. Green environmental protection: riveted after the completion of the workpiece without the need for secondary spraying, to avoid the spraying process of waste water, waste residue, and other pollutants on the soil and water bodies of potential hazards
（4） Industry Insights
Heron Intelligent Equipment has specialized in metal connections for more than 30 years, and this cooperation once again proves its technological leadership in the field of automated production lines and the home appliance industry. Heron is promoting the transformation of home appliance manufacturing from "experience-driven" to "data-driven". In the future, as the penetration rate of the dishwasher market approaches 30% in developed countries, Heron will continue to iterate its solutions to help customers seize the high point of intelligent home appliance manufacturing.
