After attending the extraordinary meeting held by Wang Yong, Song Qingwei returned to the intelligent control system project department on the third floor.

He convened all software and hardware engineers and five outstanding electromechanical engineers to hold a brainstorming meeting.

The so-called conference room is an empty dormitory. The dormitory room is only more than 20 square meters, and more than 50 people suddenly flow into it, each with an area of ​​less than half a square meter. Each person also brings a stool, like oil slag, people next to each other.

In the conference room, it seemed like a hornet's nest was poked, and the sound of moving a stool and talking were in a mess. It was too chaotic to calm down for a long time. Song Qingwei was unhappy. He coughed twice and the venue finally calmed down.

"Everyone knows that because the company's chips have not been developed yet, everyone has nothing to do, and the boss has no choice but to give us a seven-day holiday.

Today is the first day after the holiday. Did you have something to do? No!

What's even more troublesome is that this situation will last for several months, and this is still an optimistic estimate. It is possible that no one can imagine having chips this year.

So the boss called several of our supervisors and held an extraordinary meeting to solve this problem.

At the meeting, Miao Wei suggested that the company conduct research on embedded systems. The boss adopted his opinion and asked us to choose our own projects.

I chose a digital factory renovation project. The so-called digital factory is to organically combine the company with the workshop through the Internet.

Implementing a paperless office model requires us to develop an enterprise production management software, what materials are needed in the workshop, how much is produced per day, and the product qualification rate. Through the software and the network, the company knows the situation at the first time, can deal with it quickly, and can effectively improve production efficiency.

Of course this is very simple for us, but because of this, I don’t think it can be done, we can’t do it.

Why? Because other project teams choose projects with high difficulty, even Miao Wei chose motivational combustion management technology projects.

He only has three people, and we have more than 50 people. If you just do such a simple project and complete the task successfully, I will not be ashamed to repay the boss.

Therefore, I want to transform a digital factory, upgrade a technology, and create a smart factory.

The so-called smart factory is a new idea in my mind, an industrial innovation concept that I was inspired by the smart home plan.”

When Song Qingwei spoke this, there was warm applause in the conference room. He smiled reservedly, pressed his hands with his hands, and the applause immediately stopped, and it worked like a magical effect.

Song Qingwei was very satisfied with this effect. He smiled and then said, "I will tell you my first thoughts first, which is a way to attract jade. If there are any imperfections, please add them.

The smart factory I imagined is a brand new production model that requires almost no workers, or just a small number of workers.

In addition, product quality will be further improved and production efficiency will be greatly improved.

Therefore, in this new factory, our existing production line equipment has no meaning of transformation and must be completely designed.

The company just happened to have an empty factory, so I decided to conduct research on the entire system based on the vacant factory.

The company now needs to produce smart appliances, so we transform them into an electrical appliance assembly production workshop.

What is intelligence? There are many different opinions.

I think as long as you can replace manual work, it can be called intelligence.

In my vision, the current workbench frame and belt transmission production lines are not suitable for the intelligent production line mode.

Because in the workstations of smart factories, they are no longer humans, but intelligent robots, or industrial robots.

Putting a huge set of benches or belt transmission machinery in the workshop is a big addition. The machine does not matter how high or short it is, it is the same as it sticks to the ground. It is not afraid of bent over."

Song Qingwei's funny description caused laughter in the venue.

“So in my vision, it is replaced by an intelligent conveyor that can walk automatically.

Smart conveyors do not have a fixed shape, nor are they just one, they can be diverse.

Their common feature is that they can automatically identify paths.

Since it is a moving object and it must be able to automatically identify the path, it must have the ability to transmit data.

This is easy to solve. Director Liu Ming’s wireless LAN router solves this problem very well.

We just need to design a circuit board with wireless radio frequency transmission and reception capabilities and install it on an intelligent conveyor vehicle.

Regarding the path identification problem, my idea is to cover the floor of the factory with iron nails, forming a crisscrossing longitude and latitude diagram, and install an electromagnetic induction circuit board on the intelligent conveyor vehicle.

In this way, the intelligent conveyor can accurately determine where it is, how to walk? What should we avoid? It is clear at a glance.

In order to be suitable for logistics and transportation, it should also have the ability to automatically lift and lower, so short that it can be pressed against the ground, and can be easily inserted under the pallet, lift the pallet and leave.

If it reaches a height of more than one meter, you can put it in the corresponding logistics shelves or take the product off the shelves.

Since it is mobile, it must be equipped with a mobile rechargeable power supply, and the best power supply is a lithium battery.

If not, or the technology is not mature, maintenance-free lead-acid batteries can also be used. It is nothing more than a larger size in the intelligent conveyor vehicle and will not affect the performance of the use.

The most difficult part here is the intelligent control system, but it is not a big problem for us. We are doing this industry.

So I decided that Zhu Jun led ten software and hardware engineers to solve the problems of control motherboards and intelligent control systems."

Speaking of this, Song Qingwei started to call the general directly, and Zhu Jun was the first master's student to join the company with Song Qingwei.

After this period of training, he has already gained the ability to lead scientific researchers to complete project tasks.

He immediately stood up and replied, "Manager, there is no problem, just control the chips on the motherboard..."

"Using r8ooo chips, this is a system inside the factory and cannot be connected to the Internet. It is equivalent to a more advanced industrial control chip." Song Qingwei answered immediately.

"Hey! I understand." Zhu Jun responded and sat down.

Song Qingwei continued to talk, "Let me talk about the intelligent robotic arms. In my imagination, intelligent robotic arms should be divided into two levels.

One is to be fixed and can only perform preset program tasks. The assembly can only be assembled, and the spray can only be sprayed. It can only be done with a few simple actions. It is executed completely according to the program.

It has no recognition and positioning capabilities, that is, it does not have functions such as radar positioning, laser positioning, and visual judgment, which makes us lose many difficult research tasks.

We handed over the ability to identify and position to the intelligent conveyor vehicle. As long as it is stuck in place, the intelligent robot arm can perform tasks normally.

In this way, the intelligent robotic arm can only be called an automatic robotic arm.

A true intelligent robot arm has the ability to make active judgments, can move at will, and can perform multiple tasks. It is actually an intelligent robot.

The research of intelligent robots is too difficult, so we will leave it to future research...
