Specifically, integrated automation innovates on the original technical structure, loads more functions onto a single piece of machinery and equipment, and enhances operational efficiency and effectiveness based on automation technology, breaking through the limitations of the traditional production line model.
Under the previous production structure, in order to meet the manufacturing requirements of different parts, the company designed multiple production lines and assigned them to different operation workshops, which could manufacture large quantities of products and increase the production efficiency by starting work at the same time. However, in this process, the overly cumbersome line design is not suitable for smaller volume orders, and the low production efficiency and waste of resources are easily caused.
The advantages of integrated automation technology application can be highlighted, effectively solving the problem of low automation procedures of machinery and equipment, largely saving labor cost investment and reducing the loss of raw materials, which is significant for improving the production efficiency of enterprises and is an important guarantee for their participation in the fierce industry market competition.
2.3 Intelligent automation
Along with the upgrade of electrical automation technology, certain key technology breakthroughs, promoting the integration of automation to the direction of intelligent automation, the application in mechanical engineering by the integration of technology processing and intelligent equipment, to achieve a higher level of control. Based on the application of intelligent automation technology, some of the production work with high precision requirements and high risk factor is handed over to industrial robots to complete, which effectively protects the safety of the whole operation process and ensures the maximum product qualification rate. In fact, the intelligent automation of mechanical engineering has fundamentally changed the traditional production mode, outputting a constant source of power compared to manual operation and adjusting the original direction of progress of the project to achieve long-term development.
Nowadays, as an extension of the intelligent automation technology, the superiority of the application of artificial intelligence automation technology is becoming increasingly apparent, and has become an irreversible and important direction of the mechanical engineering industry, which is the key achievement of the development of human scientific and technological civilization. In the future, intelligent automation will lead the mainstream of the development of the mechanical engineering industry and occupy the main position of technology applications, which should be given sufficient attention.
