Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 52 Everything is under control

Zhong Cheng followed Li Mei all the way to the machine tool factory.

In order not to attract attention, he pretended to be out of breath, but there was no sweat on his body, and Li Mei washed it off again.

Zhong Cheng brought Li Mei to the special team office, which surprised Zhao Wei and Liu Yuzhu, and of course it meant Zhong Cheng.

He introduced Li Mei to Zhou Hu and Gui Bin, but Li Mei was not polite and asked Zhong Cheng to bring the code reader.

Everyone started to disassemble the code reader they bought from the supermarket. Li Mei figured out the working principle of the code reader in a few moments without using any equipment.

To put it bluntly, this supermarket code reader lacks auto-focus hardware, circuits and programs. The huge price gap with industrial code readers is not in production costs, but in technology.

How much technology is worth, Zhong Cheng just laughed.

Technology is worthless to them.

In just three days, with the help of everyone, Li Mei completed the "magic modification" of the supermarket code reader.

Li Mei was in charge of technical guidance, Zhao Wei was in charge of programming, Gui Bin was in charge of circuit redesign, Zhou Hu was in charge of LEDs and lenses, and of course bought them.

A simple and ugly industrial barcode reader was born.

Li Mei walked away after finishing the production process, leaving everyone sighing, "Talent!"

"It's just not very cute!"

As soon as Zhou Hu's comment was finished, he was severely criticized by Zhao Weiyi, "Talent and good-looking women go to heaven to find them!"

But that glamorous and charming face appeared in Zhong Cheng's head again. Is this a talented and good-looking woman?
But so talented!
Zhong Cheng calculated the production cost. Regardless of the mass production, the cost is less than 500 yuan. Although it is still much more expensive than supermarket code readers, it is much cheaper than industrial code readers.

Moreover, this kind of barcode reader can be used by hand and mobile, or fixedly installed on the equipment. The control program is compiled by themselves, and the system interconnection with computers and machine tools does not require a special interface program.

Of course, it is impossible for them to produce code readers by themselves, that is to make tofu into the price of meat.

Red Star Company itself has a measuring tool factory, which specializes in the production of various measuring instruments. In essence, the code reader can also be regarded as a measuring tool, which is just handed over to the measuring tool factory for customization.

He entrusted this task to Zhou Hu, because during this period of time, he found that Zhou Hu was very good at dealing with people, and he was considered an outlier among the five members of the special team.

The four of them are purely technical workers, Liu Yuzhu and Gui Bin talk a little more, and he and Zhao Wei are the kind of boring gourds who can't fart for a long time.

Zhou Hu can be regarded as making up for their shortcomings. A special team will inevitably have a lot of dealings with other units.

The problem of the code reader was solved, and the development of the Gonggong system entered the fast lane.

A week later, the system program development and related preparatory work have been completed, and the installation of on-site hardware equipment and program debugging have begun.

Zhong Cheng informed Manager Li to arrange personnel to be responsible for the training of on-site personnel. The training and installation and commissioning were carried out simultaneously. First, time was saved, second, the training content was more thorough, and third, problems could be found and solved as soon as possible.

3 month 3 day.

The installation and commissioning of the Gonggong manufacturing system of the gear box assembly line has been completed, and the personnel have been trained in place. It is time for the test run.

Manager Li and the leaders of the machine tool factory came to test in the special team's office.

The server of the Gonggong system is in their office. Zhong Cheng connected the main control program to the five computers in the office, and used the LCD screens of these five computers to display the main control interface.

At this time, the site has already begun to operate according to the new manufacturing process of the Gonggong system, and Zhong Cheng just needs to connect the data to the main control interface and display it.

The five main control interfaces are inventory management, machine tool equipment management, logistics flow management, quality monitoring and production plan execution interface.

As the data is sent from the field to the server in real time, and then sent to the main control interface after processing by the server, various monitoring charts on the main control interface begin to change.

The real-time quantities of various materials in inventory are scrolled and displayed by category, sorted by importance, and fluctuate within the set maximum and minimum inventory warning lines, and are highlighted in yellow when they are close to the warning line.

The warning line of inventory is directly related to the production plan and execution, and it also changes in real time. This is also a complex linkage system, which cannot be completed in real time by manual work.

Each machine tool on site has a small icon display on the main control interface, and three indicators of red, yellow and green show the running status. Click the small icon to view the processing status of the machine tool.

All the components, parts, semi-finished products and finished products to be assembled are displayed on the entire manufacturing flow chart in the form of quantity. It is clear at a glance which link is short of material and which link is backlogged.

The quality monitoring interface is relatively simple. When there is no problem, it just scrolls to display the sampling test data of some key test items, and predicts the quality status trend.

But when a problem occurs, an alarm will be issued on the interface immediately, and the machine tool, workpiece, problem description and possible cause list will be displayed, which truly realizes real-time accurate traceability of quality problems.

On the production plan execution interface that Manager Li and the others are most concerned about, the real-time production progress is displayed. Since the formulation of the production plan has been replaced by the Gonggong system, the method of manually patting the head and relying on experience, the formulation of the plan has been accurate to every process. and every hour.

It is no longer necessary to check the number of finished products in the warehouse at the end to know how many tasks have been completed today, and to know the specific output and cost data without having to go to the inventory at the end of the month.

Manager Li and the leaders of the machine tool factory couldn't say a word after watching it for a long time. This has completely exceeded the manufacturing process management in their understanding.

Everything is under control!
"God! The system is running, and the output of this assembly line has increased by at least 30%!"

Manager Li suddenly said excitedly that he was silently calculating the production tempo of the production line, which is what he cares most about at present.

Because with the help of the system, the entire manufacturing process has reduced a lot of invalid waiting time, and reorganized the assembly process, and it is only expected to improve efficiency.

Driven by Manager Li, the machine tool leaders became active.

"My God, I don't have to estimate the inventory of parts every day anymore. I know exactly what I need to buy!" This is the leader in charge of procurement. He was scolded by the workshop because the parts were out of stock.

"Haha, the maintenance of the machine tool equipment is automatically arranged, which is convenient." This is the leader in charge of the equipment. In the case of tight production tasks, the maintenance of the machine tool equipment is very troublesome.

"You are at ease, we are miserable, there are fewer on-site employees, no one in charge of production is needed, and the system is finished, should I be laid off!" This is the leader of the production site, of course it is a joke, at present Under the advanced technology level, no matter how automated the production line is, it cannot do without people.

"Accurate traceability is good enough, quality management can predict, am I out of date!" The self-confidence of the leadership in charge of quality has been hit.

"Oh, I'm finally relieved. We don't need to work overtime for this production cost, and we don't have to quarrel with the branch factory every day." The leader in charge of finance was deeply moved.

……

"Okay, stop talking!" Manager Li interrupted everyone's discussion, turned to Zhong Cheng and said, "Xiao Zhong, I have a task for you, this month you must promote this system to the entire machine tool factory. "

"what!"

Zhong Cheng woke up from his complacency. In less than a month, dozens of production lines in the entire machine tool factory were installed on the Gonggong manufacturing system?
Do you think this is the game installed!
