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.
