Smart manufacturing capabilities with multi-tasking smart production

Furthermore, the new 3D Vision Inspection System enhances logistics efficiency through precise package shape and dimension identification. The aforementioned solutions demonstrated Delta’s unparalleled calibre in the field of smart manufacturing at equipment, production line and factory layers

Andy Liu, general manager of Delta’s Industrial Automation Business Group, indicated: “Smart manufacturing is not only a trend but an imperative way for companies to sharpen their competitive edge. Delta remains focused on strengthening the capabilities of its industrial automation solutions and their underlying software and hardware platforms, to help customers attain superior performance and lower carbon emissions through smart manufacturing in their operations. Our showcase at Hannover Messe 2018 was specifically designed to prove how our next-generation solutions and integration prowess converge to turn smart manufacturing into a reality.” At the show Delta showcased its experience of on-site ordering, real-time monitoring and customised production when utilising the newly-showcased High-Flexibility Multi-Tasking Smart Production Line, a 4-meter fully-integrated manufacturing platform with Delta’s cutting-edge industrial automation solutions and a smart conveyer at its core: 

• Customers will place orders for customised products via on-site PC, tablet and smartphone devices. A cloud system channels the orders into the Delta Manufacturing Execution System (DIAMES) which subsequently issues an order-tracking QR code.

• A newly-developed Smart Conveyor analyses production status data and sends in-process products to idle robot workstations to optimise time and production efficiency.

• Two 6-axis articulated robot arms DRV90L series to execute high-precision pick & place, stocking and delivery of multiple product types as well as one SCARA robot arm DRS60L to perform swift product packaging. The robots identify products via Delta’s DMV2000 machine vision system, which discerns varying positions, shapes and colors.

• The Delta Manufacturing Management Platform (DIAMMP) carries out real-time visualised monitoring of order status and production performance data.

• For customers that requested later pickup of their product, the newly-launched Industrial Barcode Scanner DAH series will read the QR code in their SMS notification to identify the product in the storage area, which will be retrieved by one of the 6-axis articulated robots.
