Smart factory can realize real-time monitoring of the whole process chain, improve production efficiency and product quality, and quickly make adjustments according to customer needs, greatly improving users' satisfaction and trust in products. In line with the trend of the new era, Hyundai Motor Group established a new R&D production technology organization on 20 15, and continued to explore and promote the construction of the Group's intelligent factory.
The wave of Industry 4.0 is gradually promoting the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing smart factories.
Hyundai Motor Group's smart factory integrates various leading technologies.
2065438+June 2007, Hyundai Motor Group released a smart tag system based on positioning sensors, mass storage and wireless communication chips. Its principle is to put a small label on the car body before the car is assembled, and the assembly robot can automatically identify the car type through the label, thus achieving perfect assembly in a targeted manner. Can produce a variety of vehicles on the same production line at the same time. With the help of intelligent label system, it can efficiently match the corresponding spare parts needed by different vehicles, and also reduce the defective rate of assembled products.
Six cooperative robots test the quality of ADAS.
20 18 1 1, Hyundai Motor Group introduced the Advanced Driver Assistance System (Advanced? Driver? Aid? System? ADAS) centralized detection system. The inspection system uses six cooperative robots to adjust the ADAS quality inspection process that needs to be completed through multiple processes into one process, which can greatly shorten the inspection time of each vehicle to 85 seconds and effectively improve production efficiency. In the future, self-driving cars will be equipped with more complex driving assistance functions, and this detection system is expected to be more widely used.
Wearable robot VEX is an innovative technology that can protect workers' health and improve work efficiency.
At the same time, Hyundai Motor Group actively develops industrial wearable robots to improve workers' work efficiency and safety. Hyundai Motor Group has launched a wearable robot CEX (no chair? Exoskeleton), robots can help workers sit easily. 2065438+In September 2009, the group launched the vest-type wearable robot VEX (vest? Exoskeleton). VEX has the whole structure of simulating human joint structure and multi-link muscle auxiliary device, with a weight of only 2.5kg, which is very light and can effectively reduce the damage to bones and muscles of workers who work with their arms up for a long time and improve work efficiency. With the rapid popularization of automated production, this wearable robot complements human work and is one of the representative technologies for building smart factories.
Virtual R&D project based on virtual reality technology further helps the construction of smart factories.
In the process of automobile research and development, various advanced technologies will also be adopted. The virtual R&D plan launched by Hyundai Motor Group in 20 19 and 12 is an example. Virtual R&D plan is based on virtual reality (virtual? Reality? VR) technology, by building a virtual car or driving environment, using digital mode to quickly and flexibly improve the design, conception and performance of new cars.
Hyundai Motor Group built the world's largest VR design quality evaluation field in March 2065438+2008, which can accommodate 20 people and use VR technology to evaluate design quality at the same time. In June of the same year, the team began to demonstrate the operation of virtual R&D program and completed the test of related technologies. In the field of VR design quality evaluation, designers can easily observe the design of indoor and outdoor decoration by adjusting the angle or lighting, just like physical observation. The group plans to apply VR design quality assessment in the research and development of various new cars in the future.
Virtual R&D program can not only improve automobile quality, but also shorten R&D time and reduce cost.
In the past, it was necessary to produce a large number of test vehicles in the process of automobile research and development, which was not only time-consuming but also costly to test. However, if the virtual R&D program is used in automobile R&D, the product quality can be tested from the initial stage of R&D, which not only improves the product quality, but also reduces the R&D time of new cars by about 20%, saving about 65,438+05% R&D expenses every year, and can respond flexibly and quickly to the rapidly changing automobile industry model and customer needs.
Hyundai Motor Group is deeply involved in artificial intelligence technology to build a smart factory in the future.
Hyundai Motor Group fully applies the core technology of Industry 4.0 to promote the construction of smart factories.
Hyundai Motor Group has fully applied the artificial intelligence technology, the core technology of Industry 4.0, to automobile production. 20 18, 1 1, the group established a new organization-air? The laboratory has been gradually upgraded to CIC (Company? Are you online? Company)-air? On the company side, its technology research and development not only covers the research of automotive artificial intelligence, but also further extends to the field of mobile travel and life services.
Air? Deep learning (depth? Learn) scanning recognition technology, apply artificial intelligence technology to automobile painting inspection, and improve the inspection level of painting quality by building big data. When manually checking the quality of painting, the inspector will record the position and type of abnormal parts of painting on the painting test paper by naked eye observation. Air? A deep learning algorithm has been developed by R&D headquarters of laboratory joint production, which can quickly extract the information such as painting detection time, vehicle type, abnormal type and abnormal position recorded on the painting detection paper through machine scanning and store it in the database. Through this algorithm, we can quickly understand the problems that often appear in the painting process or the repetition in a specific model, and formulate corresponding countermeasures.
From September 20 19 to February 20 19, the production line of Hyundai Ulsan Factory used intelligent system to scan paint test paper. The results show that the factory scans 400 pieces of paint detection paper every day, and the detection accuracy is about 95%. With the continuous improvement of database construction, the defect rate will be further reduced and the overall quality will be improved. In the future, the group plans to extend the application of deep learning scanning identification technology to other factories and production processes.
The Group is promoting the application of artificial intelligence technology in the process of four-wheel alignment adjustment.
In addition, the group is gradually promoting the application of artificial intelligence technology in the process of four-wheel alignment adjustment. In this study, it is necessary to calculate the wheel angles of various models and the corresponding optimal nut parameters, and the learning ability of artificial intelligence is very important. Based on the past four-wheel alignment data, the artificial intelligence computer predicts the parameter values suitable for each vehicle type, and then the system will transmit the results to the artificial intelligence computer again after the operation is completed. After the artificial intelligence computer confirms the result, it will continue to repeatedly learn the relationship between the wheel angle and the adjusting nut, and predict the best parameter value, so as to narrow the error range and improve the accuracy.
