auto_flexible_1_3

Flexible Manufacturing System

It is a highly efficient and flexible intelligent manufacturing solution designed for small-batch, high-variety production mode. Can run seamlessly 24 hours a day, it leverages automation technology to enhance production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and optimize equipment and material management.

Flexible customization based on customer requirements

Integrates EDM machines, CNC machines, CMM measurement systems, tool and material management, and intelligent scheduling systems, combined with MES (Manufacturing Execution System) and IoT (DS Cloud AI) for real-time monitoring and data analysis, enabling a highly efficient and transparent smart manufacturing factory.

FMS Operation Process

In the flexible manufacturing process, FMS can automatically break down the production workflow based on work order requirements, determine the necessary machining equipment, inspection tools, and quality control process, Based on data analysis and scheduling, the central server automatically transmits programs to each processing machine (CNC, EDM, etc.), ensuring that the production process is efficient, error-free, and optimized.

At the same time, the system continuously monitors and manages the usage of required materials and tools, ensuring sufficient raw materials. It automatically schedules or replaces tools based on tool lifespan and usage conditions, preventing production disruptions due to material shortages or tool depletion, thereby maintaining production efficiency and quality.

FMS Production Exception Elimination Process

In the FMS flexible manufacturing system, although the system is highly automated and intelligent, exceptions may still occur during the production process due to various factors. To ensure production stability and efficiency, we have established a comprehensive exception elimination process. The system can quickly detect, respond to, and handle exceptions, minimizing the impact on production.

Major Exception Scenarios and Handling Process

  • Work Order Cancellation

    • The system will immediately stop the related operations.
    • Avoid unnecessary production resource consumption.
  • Error Handling

    • The system will proactively detect errors during the production process.
    • For example: program logic errors or data exceptions, and automatically perform error analysis and correction through the FMS server.
  • Tool/Material Failure Handling

    • If tool damage or material shortages occur, the system will automatically notify the warehouse system to replenish the required resources.
    • If necessary, re-arrange the processing sequence or activate backup tools.
  • Parallel Machine Scheduling

    • When a specific machine cannot perform, the system will dynamically assign the processing tasks to other available machines based on the production schedule, ensuring no production interruption.
  • Re-execute Process or CNC Code

    • When abnormalities occur during the machining process.
    • For example: loading issues or quality deviations, the system can re-execute certain processes and reload the relevant materials and programs.

Automated Exception Feedback and User Interaction

  • When an exception occurs, the system will use an automated notification mechanism to provide feedback to the user, displaying detailed exception scenarios and suggested actions on the user interface.
  • The system supports FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis), helping users analyze the causes of exceptions, provide improvement suggestions, and further reduce the risk of future exceptions.

Integration of Warehouse and Automation Management

  • The warehouse system actively manages material and tool storage locations, replenishing relevant resources in advance based on production demands, to avoid production interruptions due to material shortages or tool wear.
  • The system seamlessly integrates with automated equipment (such as robotic handling systems), ensuring a quick and efficient recovery of the process after exception elimination.

Core Features of FMS Exception Elimination

  • Real-time : Through the fast data processing and decision-making mechanism of the FMS server, the exception handling time is shortened.
  • Flexibility : Dynamically adjusts production scheduling and resource allocation to minimize the impact of exceptions.
  • Stability : Combining FMEA analysis, continuously optimizes system operation to enhance overall production reliability.
