Masterlink undertakes intelligent project on core components production line of a high speed railway manufacturing company.
Content of Project Subject
1.Data interface development for production line systems
The data interfaces of the various CNC systems on the production line are studied and information such as the spindle, power, multiplier, cutting tool, program name and equipment status of the equipment is collected in real time and the collected data is stored in a database. Relying on Masterlink's software system as a data-bearing terminal, the information required by the customer is integrated and analyzed for display. The hardware interface and software interface are studied for different versions of CNC systems for axle wheels.
2.Truss manipulator data acquisition interface development
The study is based on the data acquisition interface of the truss manipulator, which collects data such as truss status, part serial number, equipment processing part serial number, buffer status and truss position through real-time reading of PLC data. Relying on Masterlink's MDC system as the data carrying terminal, the information required by the customer is integrated and analyzed for display. The visualization of the data allows the manager to be informed more effectively about the equipment in the workshop and the situation of the entire production line.
3.Interface development of MES system for production line and business data interfacing
MES system provides data interface is studied, through the ESB enterprise service bus, with the completion of the development of relevant interfaces based on WEBSERVICE. Our software can read MES work order data through the ESB bus and store it in the parts production line database. Material BOM relationships are studied. Correspondence between finished material code and blank material code is established in the system. Through the material 2D code information collected in real time at the material on-line, the system confirms the incoming material information and processing process. After manual confirmation, the truss system is informed to automatically execute the material transportation procedure and CNC machining procedure within the relevant work order. The overall plan fulfillment rate is calculated by analyzing the completion of blank materials in each process, analyzing the completion of planned quantities within the work order and automatically reporting work to the system for the process level.
4.Development of computer aided assembly CAA system data interfacing interface
Through the development of data interfaces, the existing data from the CAA system and the axle production line are integrated to form a product manufacturing history using the part number as a carrier.
5.Data analysis and presentation
By analyzing the data collected, it is displayed on the board. Parts line processing is monitored in real time. The machining of single workpieces is analyzed in real time. Formation of quality histories based on workpiece production serial numbers and display on large plant screens to allow visual presentation of data. Equipment utilization OEE is analyzed and statistical analysis of equipment abnormalities and material abnormalities is displayed by interfacing with the CAA system. By setting the process time and real time machining time, you can display the equipment machining progress in the parts production line raw.
6.Development of the TDI cutting tool management system
The TDI cutting tool data management system monitors machine tool cutting tool data in real time, incorporating cutting tool inventory management and workpiece production data, as well as integrating individual machine tool libraries into the system server. The TDI system communicates with the machine tool in real time and integrates the cutting tool data from the single machine interface into the server database. The use of each tool on the machine tool can be viewed directly in the system, including basic information on the cutting tool, its life and status. The system analyses all machine cutting tool life data and enables remote viewing on the TDI system. Key data on cutting tool life can be viewed without the need for operators to enter the machining area of the automatic line, allowing managers and operators to know if each tool needs to be changed in a timely manner.
7. Line extension applications
Based on the results of the component research, the application is extended in the component production line. The software and hardware parts of the parts production line are analyzed. Through our software system using a unified data interface, combined with the actual requirements for the production line, work order data can be given down from the upper layer.
In this project, the interconnection of data is achieved for the software and hardware of the various types of control systems, the upper software and the self-developed equipment. It truly realizes the transparent interaction of the data business between the bottom and upper software, making the production line more efficient, more controllable in quality and realizing a new chapter of flexible production.
