Smart Factory Concept Takes Production up a Notch

摘要

With FUJI'S integrated production system - Nexim in place as the core system, the management area can be extended across entire production lines (horizontal integration), and this core system can also be connected to key user systems (vertical integration) for a factory, which can perform production autonomously purely based on data. In other words, a smart factory. 1. Automatic creation of production plans Creates production plans based on work order, which includes information such as product models, deadlines, and production volumes that consider which production models should be allocated to which line to implement the most efficient production considering changeover work as well. 2. Automatic part checkout Outputs required parts from automatic warehouses based on the production plan and production progress. The production line downtime, stagnation, and wasting of materials can be reduced by delivering the required volume when needed. 3. Visualization Monitors processes across the entire SMT line, including printing, placing, reflow, and inspection. The information related to production has been made visual so users can learn information fast and act quickly in response to production site issues. Furthermore, decreases in process capability can be foreseen by analyzing big data. Autonomous production can be achieved as countermeasure notifications are sent to people or to machines.
