Enotek Group helped ASD build smart factories, which increased production efficiency by 22.46%

About ASD

ASD is a manufacturer of kitchen cookware, kitchen appliances, household products, robot and robot applications. Currently, the company has three production bases in Wenling, Hubei, Anlu and Jiashan. In recent years, ASD adheres to the two-wheel drive strategy of "cookware + robot" and continuously optimizes and upgrades its smart factory.

ASD Intelligent Manufacturing Plant is located in the eastern factory of ASD in Wenling, covering an area of 645 mu. The total cost of the project is 1 billion RMB. It is an intelligent manufacturing demonstration project approved by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the National Development and Reform Commission in 2017. The project took one and a half years.

In order to meet the whole process of production, storage and logistics of intelligent intelligent control and management of intelligent factories, all factors of digital, ASD has built an industrial Internet cloud platform, integrated man-machine collaboration, machine vision, intelligent logistics, automatic mold change, three-dimensional storage and other management systems, built the ASD digital operation and control system, and realized the digital and intelligent manufacturing executive management. We will continue to promote the high-quality development of "intelligent manufacturing".

Overview of intelligent warehousing project

The smart warehouse project of ASD Smart Factory integrates 17 stackers, 25 AGVs and related scheduling software to realize the automatic process of mold change and line change in production line. Among them, AGVs replace the original manual series of material handling operations in the production workshop.

Intelligent storage solution

In this project, ASRS automatic access system is provided by Enotek Group as a total solution for overall intelligent warehousing. The system consists of shelf, sky rail, earth rail, stacker, conveying system and control and software system.

The solution sustainably checks expired or finds products in stock, prevents bad stock, and improves inventory management; And can make full use of storage space, through the computer can realize the equipment online control, in the first in first out principle, quickly and accurately processing items, reasonable inventory management and data processing.

Technical performance and characteristics of Enotek Group Stacker

High efficiency: fast running speed, high efficiency in and out of storage; The upper limit of storage height is high, the first shelf height is low, and the space utilization rate is large. Easy to scale and fast to deploy.

Flexibility: Equipment can be customized according to project requirements; Switchable running track; Can realize single deep, double deep, three deep storage; Diversified modes of operation.

Reliable: After 100+ project inspection, adapt to high temperature, cold storage, explosion-proof and other working environment; Ontology design is reliable, the core components are high-end brands; High access precision, easy to maintain and upgrade.

Safety: overspeed, limit and other protection modes; The winch is imported from Italy without lubrication wire rope traction; Ensure the safety of cargo and personnel operation.

In addition to the stacker independently developed by Enotek Group, AGV is also used in a large number of production processes in the factory, playing an important role in logistics handling.

AGV automatic Material handling solution

AGV automatic material handling solution can flexibly, efficiently and accurately complete intelligent material handling in limited storage space, supporting a variety of handling operations in production warehouses or distribution centers, from receiving goods to warehousing, from warehousing to receiving and receiving materials, from warehousing to sorting and other long and short distance handling operations.

Safety and stability: assembly of multiple safety alarms, high safety factor; High fault tolerance rate of the system; Repeated positioning precision high ontology self-research, core components and components using high-end first-line brands.

Flexible and flexible: pre-debugging and rapid deployment; Dynamic trial path planning; Rich visualization function, convenient man-machine interaction; Intelligent charging.

Efficient intelligence: modular, extensible; Diverse application scenarios, support multi-vehicle hybrid operation; Multiple navigation methods are optional; Support non-standard customization.

AGV is no longer limited to material handling in the warehouse. The project applies AGV to a large number of production processes in the factory. The handling operations that originally need to be completed manually or with the help of semi-automated equipment are now fully automated by AGV.

Automatic die changing in the production line: The die changing AGV takes out the die from the warehouse conveyor outlet and sends it to the designated die changing position, replaces the old die, replaces the new die, and then sends the replaced old die back to the warehouse inlet conveyor.

Project effectiveness

After the completion of the smart factory, the entire production efficiency is increased by 22.46% on average, the operation cost is reduced by 23.16% on average, the product defect rate is reduced by 30.5% on average, the energy consumption per unit of output value is reduced by 21.1% on average, and the product upgrade cycle is shortened by 34.8%.

Labor costs decreased by 60%, annual production capacity increased by 2.5 times to more than 36 million sets of products, while inventory decreased by 70%;

ASD has integrated the whole value chain from marketing, research and development, planning, material control, production and storage, and has the capacity to produce 45 million metal cookware annually.
