Chapter 1002: Unmanned

Of course~

The hardware improvements are simple, but it's hard to get users to get the most out of the Powered Feedback Glove software.

In Ye Qing's thinking, the power feedback glove is a "key" connecting the virtual and the real.

Before the product is put on the market, not to mention doing a good job in the virtual field, at least let customers get a glimpse of the leopard field, the shocking corner of virtual reality.

A few weeks later, the company's product development department made several improvements and temporarily set the power feedback glove at version 1.0.

Power Feedback Gloves 1.0, in addition to greatly improving skin breathability, also specially strengthened gesture capture function, adding a wear-resistant layer to the palm, and customizable glove appearance and other new changes.

There are also a lot of changes to the software, but the biggest highlight is that it is very compatible with mobile phone and computer ports.

Through Bluetooth, it can be connected to mobile phones and computers on the market today.

It is also very convenient for users to use it as a keyboard and mouse, or to operate the mobile phone in the air.

In addition, after several weeks of hard work, the Longxitan factory has finally completed the construction of virtual factory 5.0.

Ye Qing is now in the factory's car production center.

The Thunder Production Center is the one with the largest changes of all the buildings in the factory.

Before the renovation, more than a hundred monster workers were needed here.

But this number of workers is already a miracle in the automobile production bases of various countries.

Even Volkswagen's production line in Wolfsburg, which claims to be the most automated, cannot control the number of workers to one-third of this percentage.

Ye Qing and Dianjing walked down the steel escalator to the top floor of the production center, overlooking the entire production center from above.

Before the transformation, Ye Qing often came here and knew the location of every important industrial equipment.

After the transformation, Ye Qing observed for a moment and felt that there seemed to be no big change here, and he felt that there was a big change.

For example, in Ye Qing's field of vision, there seemed to be hundreds of pure white "incubators" in an endless stream.

These are "weapons of mass destruction" in the automotive industry.

In each "incubator", multiple sets of precision robotic arms are integrated with an accuracy no less than that of a five-axis machining center. The frame of the Thunder car will be automatically fed into the "incubator", and then the various parts required by the Thunder car will be quickly and accurately installed on the frame by the robotic arm.

From the wipers, to the center console, to the steering wheel, all the small parts of the car can be automatically installed here.

The location of the hundreds of devices that Ye Qing remembered the most had not changed, but the auxiliary equipment around these devices had changed a lot.

Originally, although these equipment were highly automated, drilling, twisting, welding, and precision engraving could be completed in the blink of an eye. At the same time, the robotic arm clamps the parts required by the car and fixes them on the frame in an orderly manner.

But these parts are not fully automated, and the car parts that can be used on hundreds of "incubators" are concentrated in the parts supply workshop further away through the transmission track.

More than 20 monster workers are employed in the parts supply workshop, and they have to operate special fixtures and equipment to move hundreds of parts of the same model onto the track at a time.

Now the parts supply workshop is empty, and the parts are not grabbed by fixtures, but hundreds at a time.

It has been modified into a magazine structure, with each part being introduced into the orbit one by one like a bullet loaded.

Going back to the parts warehouse, the parts are sorted and imported into the parts box by a fully automated machine.

Finally, the parts box is accurately pushed into the inside of the equipment, and whenever the parts in a part box run out, a manipulator will step forward, take out the parts box and put it into the rail car, and carry out the next cycle of inserting and exporting.

It's easy to say, but how difficult is it to do that?

When the lightning production center was established, the monsters produced an "incubator" of energy, but there was no good way to solve the problem of fully automating the supply of parts.

This is not a problem that can be solved by tailor-made parts sorting and supply machine.

Unmanned means that the entire part sorting and supply step must be like a five-axis machining center, and the accuracy is exactly the same.

When the part moves, it vibrates. When put down, the same will be generated.

Robotic arms or fixtures, in the process of work, will also produce errors. These errors will become larger and larger with each repositioning of the guide rail

If you want to correct the error, you have to the monster workers to correct the equipment with a high frequency. However, once the equipment enters the correction mode, it will have to stop work and delay production.

This is an unsolvable technical difficulty.

The advent of Virtual Factory 5.0 has replaced the process of monster workers correcting 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 this data. If it does, it takes over from the device's driver and lets it automatically correct the error the next time it works.

This is true for a component dismantling and supply equipment, and the same is true for a hundred thunder "incubators".

This is true of all the equipment in a lightning production center, as well as the entire Longxitan plant.

"I remember watching a science fiction movie with a robot factory that's just like ours. Ye Qing's eyes were blazing, and his body was full of pride.

"Can I ask the name of the movie?" said Electrocrystal, who is also proud to host the Virtual Factory 5.0 project.

"Terminator. ”

"I've seen it, but it's blown too much. Dianjing pursed her lips secretly, "You can't even build a spaceship in there, and you dare to brag about building a time machine?"

"Then do you say that the time machine can be created?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

It doesn't matter if it's bragging in the movie or not.

Ye Qing can only say that today's giant beast industry has achieved the limit of human imagination relying on the current level of industrial science and technology to imagine the future factory. Even the robot factory in the Terminator is not necessarily as advanced as here in Longxitan.

Look at how the robot armor inside is made, it is actually molded out of a metal furnace.

In the case of the giant beast industry, it must be the jet sand mold technology, which prints the mold and then the powder metallurgy is integrally formed.

Fully automated, full of style.

"Boss, don't think about it. Electrocrystal shook his head, "The time machine is a false proposition, don't talk about us, aliens can't even think of creating it." ”

"If you can't make it, wouldn't it be a mess to really create a world line? If someone goes back to the past and leads me astray when I was a child, how can I reason? ”

Ye Qing patted Dianjing on the shoulder, "Let's go~ Let's visit the next factory." ”

With the departure of Ye Qing and Dianjing, the lightning production center also started the first production work after the transformation.

One hundred "incubators" were started at the same time, and the equipment indicators of all production links were lit up almost at the same moment.

There is no trace of the monster worker here.

The number of workers here has shrunk from more than 100 to 10 now.

Five Masters of Ingenuity, two Great Laborers, and three Emissaries.

This is a hardware maintenance team, and their job is to take care of the hardware overhaul and maintenance.

After all, this job cannot be replaced by a virtual factory.
