The inevitable path of plywood factory Upgrading -- intelligent planning of the whole factory

With the development of the plywood industry, technological progress and market changes, as well as the growth of human resource costs and the severity of national environmental protection policies, the plywood industry is facing the largest industry adjustment since the reform and opening up, and many enterprises are facing automation upgrading. For most plywood enterprises, the current industry situation is both a challenge and an opportunity. The reasonable adjustment of the strategic objectives of the whole enterprise and the intelligent and automatic upgrading of the production technology of the enterprise will make the plywood factory more competitive.

What is the intelligent planning of the whole plywood plant

The intelligent planning of the whole plywood factory refers to the overall design of the automatic production and manufacturing system of the intelligent plywood factory under the guidance of lean theory and based on the construction methodology of industry 4.0 intelligent factory, and the implementation blueprint of relevant modules, including lean supply chain, lean factory layout, production automation transformation, intelligent transformation of equipment, design of equipment information management system, etc, All production process links of plywood production can realize unmanned and intelligent production from veneer patching, core board gluing, blank assembly, repair, hot pressing, cold pressing, warehousing and other links.

Principles of intelligent planning for the whole plywood plant

◆ provide smooth working space to facilitate production operation;

◆ straighten out the transportation channel and shorten the transportation time;

◆ increase the production capacity per unit time and improve the production efficiency of plywood factory;

◆ realize unmanned workshop and unmanned operation to reduce labor cost;

◆ it is easy to find various non-standard operation behaviors and various wastes;

◆ facilitate the production monitoring of all links;

◆ provide convenience for production statistics;

◆ keep the flexibility of production and arrangement;

◆ provide convenient, comfortable and safe working environment for employees

Basis for planning the whole plywood plant and operation area

● total space size

After the intelligent planning scheme of the whole plywood plant is determined, the total area of the operation area will be fixed, and the division of each workshop and process can only be carried out within the total area. If a certain area is too large, other areas can only become smaller. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out overall coordination and proper distribution.

● capacity design

The results of the operation planning must meet the design capacity requirements. To meet this requirement, there must be sufficient machine position, operation position, semi-finished product storage space, turnover table, material temporary storage area and other hardware facilities. During operation planning, the total designed capacity shall be allocated according to the process capacity to ensure that the sum of the capacity of each process meets the requirements.

● principle of process balance

Process balance refers to that when the production of unit quantity products is completed, each process has the same production capacity. The number of working space and equipment required by different processes are the same principle, because the number of working space and equipment required by different processes are the same.

● management mode

Different management modes have different requirements for operation planning. The operation area should be established, divided and merged in combination with the needs of plywood enterprise management.

● equipment features

The number, volume and function of equipment have a certain impact on workshop planning.

● mutual characteristics between processes

In plywood enterprises, many operations will produce a lot of dust, noise and other pollution, which will have an impact on product quality, production safety and operators. It should be considered in operation planning.
