Monster Factory - 1041
Of course~
The improvement of the hardware is simple, and it is difficult for users to fully experience the fun of the power feedback glove software.
In Ye Qing’s thinking, the power feedback glove is a “key” connecting virtual and reality.
Before the product is put on the market, not to mention doing a good job of virtual, at least let customers have a glimpse of the realm of the leopard, the shocking corner of virtual reality.
A few weeks later, the company’s product research and development department made several improvements and temporarily set the power feedback glove to version 1.0.
Power Feedback Glove 1.0, in addition to greatly improving the skin ventilation problem, it also particularly strengthens the gesture capture function, adds a wear-resistant layer on the palm, and the appearance of the glove can be customized and other new changes.
There are also many software changes. The biggest highlight is that it is compatible with mobile phones and computer ports.
Through Bluetooth, it can be connected with mobile computers currently on the market.
It is also very convenient for users to use it as a keyboard and mouse, or use it to operate mobile phones from the air.
In addition, after several weeks of hard work, the Longxitan factory has finally built the virtual factory 5.0.
Ye Qing is now in the factory’s Jilei Automobile production center.
The Lightning Production Center is considered to be the largest change of all the buildings in the factory.
Before the transformation, more than one hundred monster workers were needed here.
But this number of workers is already a miracle in the automobile production bases of various countries.
Even the Volkswagen production line in Wolfsburg, which claims to have the highest degree of automation, cannot control the workforce to one-third of this proportion.
Ye Qing and Dianjing walked along the steel escalator to the top floor of the production center, overlooking the entire production center from top to bottom.
Before the renovation, Ye Qing often came here, knowing the placement of every important industrial equipment.
After the transformation, Ye Qing observed for a while, and felt that there was not much change here, but also that it had changed a lot.
For example, in Ye Qing’s vision, hundreds of pure white “incubators” seem to be endless.
These are “weapons of mass destruction” in the automotive industry.
Each “incubator” integrates multiple sets of precision mechanical arms that are as accurate as a five-axis machining center. The frame of the lightning car will be automatically sent into the “incubator”, and the various parts and components required by the lightning car will be quickly and accurately installed on the frame by the robotic arm.
From windshield wipers, to the center console in the car, to the steering wheel, all small-sized car parts can be automatically installed here.
The locations of the hundreds of devices that Ye Qing remembered most have not changed, but the auxiliary equipment surrounding these devices has changed a lot.
Although these equipments were originally highly automated, drilling, reaming, welding, and precision scribing could be completed in the blink of an eye. At the same time, the mechanical arm grips the parts needed by the car and fixes them on the frame in an orderly manner.
But these parts are not fully automatic. The auto parts that can be used on hundreds of “incubators” are concentrated in the parts supply workshop farther away through the transmission track.
More than 20 monster workers need to be occupied in the parts supply workshop. They have to control special fixture equipment to move hundreds of parts of the same model onto the track at a time.
Now there is no one in the parts supply workshop, and parts are not picked up by fixtures, and hundreds of them are picked up at a time.
It has been transformed into a magazine structure, and each component is loaded into the track one by one like a bullet.
Going back to the parts warehouse, the process of sorting and importing parts into the parts box is also completed by fully automatic machinery.
Finally, the parts cassette is accurately pushed into the equipment. Whenever the parts in a parts cassette are used up, there will be a manipulator to take out the parts cassette and put it into the rail car for the next loading and exporting cycle.
It’s easy to say, how difficult is it to do this?
At the beginning of the establishment of the lightning production center, the monsters energy production “incubator”, but there is no good way to solve the problem of fully automated parts supply.
This is not a problem that can be solved by tailoring a set of parts sorting and supplying machines.
Unmanned means that the entire parts sorting and supplying step must be done like a five-axis machining center, and the accuracy is not bad.
When the parts are moving, they will vibrate. When put down, the same will happen.
The robot arm or the fixture will also produce errors during the work process. These errors will become larger and larger with each repeated positioning of the guide rail.
To correct the errors, monster workers have to correct these devices at a high frequency. But once the equipment enters the correction mode, it will stop work and delay production.
This is an unsolvable technical difficulty.
The emergence of Virtual Factory 5.0 has replaced the part of Monster Workers to modify equipment.
The sensor will automatically record the data of each operation of the equipment, and the virtual factory will automatically analyze whether there is an error based on the data. If it does, it will take over the driver of this device and let it automatically correct the error the next time it works.
This is true for a piece of equipment that disassembles parts and supplies, and so is a hundred lightning incubators.
This is true for all equipment in a lightning production center, and the same is true for the entire Longxitan factory.
“I remember watching a sci-fi movie back then, and the robot production factory in it was similar to ours.” Ye Qing’s eyes were piercing, and his body was full of pride.
“Can I ask the name of the movie?” Dianjing, who presided over the virtual factory 5.0 project, is also very proud.
“Terminator.”
“I’ve seen it, but it blows too much inside.” Dianjing curled his lips secretly, “There can’t even be built a spaceship in there, so dare you to brag about building a time machine?”
“Then you said that the time machine can be created?” Ye Qing asked with a smile.
Whether it’s bragging in the movie or not.
Ye Qing can only say that the giant animal industry nowadays has achieved that human beings rely on the current level of industrial technology to imagine the limit of imagination of the future factory. Even the robot factory in the Terminator is not as advanced as Longxitan.
Look at how the robot armor inside was made, and it was actually molded out of a metal furnace.
For the giant animal industry, it must be the injection sand mold technology, the mold is printed out, and then the powder metallurgy is integrated.
Fully automated, full of style.
“Boss, don’t think about it.” Dianjing shook his head. “The time machine is a false proposition. Don’t talk about us, the aliens can’t even think about it.”
“It doesn’t matter if you can’t make it, isn’t it a mess if you really make a world line? In case someone goes back in time and leads me as a child astray, where can I go to reason?”
Ye Qing patted Dianjing on the shoulder, “Go~ Let’s visit the next factory.”
With the departure of Ye Qing and Dianjing, the Jilei production center also started the first production after the transformation.
One hundred “incubators” started at the same time, and the equipment indicator lights of all production links were also lit up almost at the same moment.
There is no shadow of the monster worker.
The number of workers here has dropped sharply from more than one hundred workers at the beginning to ten now.
Five masters, two hard laborers, and three electronic messengers.
This is a hardware maintenance team. Their job is to overhaul and maintain the hardware.
After all, this job cannot be replaced by a virtual factory.
