Chapter 1736 Unstoppable Rise of Robots

"If there are other products, the entire production line cannot be idle. This is a general machinery production line. The central control system will select according to the internal task orders. If the priority level of production tasks is performed, the idle equipment is too If there is more, it will arrange another product with fewer processes to be processed... If not, all the production processes are relatively long, and only a part of the processes are performed... If the processes are relatively short, then proceed at the same time Production of multiple orders..." Ludak explained to Liu Yijiu.

Liu Yijiu couldn't help his eyes shine.

"In this way, can we directly perform simultaneous production of multiple tasks?"

"Yes, according to our design theory, as many processing machines as there are on the entire production line can perform as many tasks at the same time." Ludak nodded.

But he emphasized that this is only theoretical.

The current production line is mainly for large-scale large-scale production and processing, but the current tasks of the Ninth Institute are small and small batches and single-piece processing. The future development of the external market will also put forward higher requirements in this regard.

A production line can only process one type of parts. After replacing the order, it will become more troublesome. Either adjust the production line or build a new production line, which is completely unable to adapt to the faster product upgrades in the future market.

"Are there any restrictions?" Liu Yijiu naturally understood.

Now there is no limit to the machining of any type of parts. Obviously, there is not much possibility.

"Yes, there are restrictions on parts materials, part types, etc. However, in such a situation, you can choose manual mode, so that it is no different from ordinary CNC equipment... In terms of flexibility, it is stronger. Of course. , That is, because of this, in some aspects, it leads to higher costs." A middle-aged man in his forties introduced.

When Liu Yijiu saw it, he didn't know him.

Can't help looking at him with some doubts.

"Wang Xin, the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination, and directly entered the Chinese Academy of Sciences to study as a graduate student, automatic control, computer dual-material postdoctoral... Now as the solution engineer of our unmanned workshop..." Lu Dak introduced Liu Yijiu Wang Xin's situation.

The Ninth Academy gathers the top talents in the country, and there are evildoers everywhere.

Many graduates of the Junior Class of the University of Science and Technology of China are included in the talent pool of the Ninth Academy.Like Zhang Xin, there are really not many.

He can become a very important core backbone of a large-scale project within ten years after entering the Ninth Academy. There are few brushes, otherwise Rudak will not take the initiative to introduce Liu Yijiu.

"Mr. Lu has praised, compared to Director Liu, we are far behind." Zhang Xin said this from the heart.

Liu Yijiu University has changed four schools, and each school learns a completely different major!Even many courses he didn't study at school have made a lot of achievements.

The entire Ninth Academy involves almost all fields in the world, and Liu Yijiu seems to have talent in every field.

Under the deliberate propaganda and shaping within the Ninth Academy, among the scientific researchers, Liu Yijiu is a god.

"You are already very good. Don't be underestimated. Although I know a little bit in every field, I don't specialize in any field, so I can't be the project leader..." Liu Yijiu said with a smile."Your idea is good. When we do technical research, we should consider a wider range of applications."

"This is also what you said at the beginning. We must be able to adapt to future production development in our automatic production line. Our Ninth Institute has always been leading domestic units of the same type in research and production. Flexible manufacturing systems need to have a broader Only through the use of the above can we obtain more technology..." Wang Xin kept staring at Liu Yijiu and replied.

CNC machine tools, industrial robots, these are all part of the flexible manufacturing system.

Compared with ordinary processing machine tools, CNC machine tools are several times more expensive.Therefore, the cost is quite high when it is idle.

Using the principle of flexible manufacturing system, the production line of the entire production workshop is composed of many flexible manufacturing units that can flexibly adjust product types.

Each CNC machine tool plus the corresponding robot is a flexible manufacturing unit.

In 1982, when China was just getting started in this area, Japan's Farrak CNC Machine Tool Manufacturing Company built an automated motor processing workshop, which was composed of 60 flexible manufacturing units.However, these flexible manufacturing units still require a large number of personnel to cooperate and coordinate.

When the Ninth Institute started, it worked hard to challenge the unmanned production process. It has now taken 15 years to achieve major breakthroughs in computer control technology and CNC machine tool technology. A workshop.

It can be said that in this respect, the Ninth Institute has made considerable progress in the past ten years.

"Yes, the performance of these robots is also good. In those labor-intensive enterprises, it should be easier to use. After all, their production methods are simpler and the requirements for the overall performance of the robots are not so high." Liu Yijiu nodded and said. .

His words made Rudak and others embarrassed.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Liu Yijiu asked with some confusion, "Why, is there any mistake in what I said?"

He really does not understand that there is a demand in the market, and they have products that can meet the market demand. They are not required to promote it. Is there any problem?

This does not require technical secrecy.

"Director Liu, what you said is correct, but the cost of our workshop is a bit high now, and not many people can afford it." Rudak said distressedly, "Director Xie Heping has been outside before. I want to seek orders to reduce the pressure of R&D funding on the funds in the institute..."

"It is natural that the cost is high. A CNC machine tool is hundreds of thousands, and the supporting robots are hundreds of thousands. There are other robots, control systems, and supercomputers for central control..." Wang Xin explained more clearly that just the equipment, the price is not a little bit, not to mention the addition of robots corresponding to the equipment, which doubles the cost.

At present, there are not too many companies that can buy a lot of CNC equipment in China. To set up such a production line and an unmanned production workshop requires a one-time outlay of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. There are really not many companies that can afford it.

What's more, in this era, although there is a shortage of people, the labor cost is quite low.

"What is the cost of a robot?" Liu Yijiu's brows were also frowned. The shortage of people in the country caused a labor shortage to wait at least ten years.

Now the country is uncertain.

A large number of state-owned enterprises that are not profitable have been merged and reorganized and went bankrupt, causing many technical personnel to enter private enterprises.

Those who lack people are private enterprises.

However, private enterprises have fewer financing channels than state-owned enterprises, and there are not many units in need that can spend so much money at once.

According to Liu Yijiu's original idea, it was gradually promoted in the subordinate units of the Ninth Academy. When the domestic labor shortage occurs, they can quickly provide mature solutions to the market.

The civilian product unit of the Ninth Academy is under the management of the military, and it is no longer what Liu Yijiu said to install any equipment. Even these years, there has been no increase in equipment.

If it’s not for the benefits, Liu Yijiu doesn’t care. After the management committee reacted, the military’s senior officials took it seriously. The people in charge of these units will not strictly follow the requirements and hand in a large amount of funds. The rest is spent. Come to invest in other fields, especially real estate.

Therefore, this road was blocked, and the technology of the Ninth Academy became more difficult to market.

"A general-purpose robot costs about 80,000 yuan. In the case of mass production, if it is the current production, the cost is about 170,000 yuan..." Ludak quickly replied.

"It's not too high." Liu Yijiu was puzzled. "Although the cost of a robot is 170,000, it has to be used for more than ten or twenty years. It sells for 200,000, which is about 10,000 a year on average. The cost, plus the maintenance fee, won’t exceed 15,000, right?"

"An ordinary worker can only cost less than 7,000 yuan a year. What's more, the worker does not need to maintain, and does not need to pay 200,000 or more at a time, and does not need to raise a group of maintenance technicians. Technical personnel may also be poached away... Judging from the current environment, the investment in automatic production lines is high, and the return on investment is too slow..." Wang Xin answered Liu Yijiu's words.

Logically, Liu Yijiu should know this.

But thinking that Liu Yijiu has been in the mountains for several years, it is normal to be unclear.

The current technology is too advanced for the market and it is very difficult to promote.China's cheap and abundant labor force has attracted a large number of foreign companies to invest and set up factories in China.

Investment in an automated production line requires high requirements and requires a lot of capital in the initial stage. Even if the production efficiency is much higher and can solve many problems, it will not be selected by the manufacturing company at this stage.

"This is what you worry about? Because the short-term market cannot be achieved, and the technology investment funds cannot be recovered, the hospital will reduce the funds for the unmanned workshop project?" Liu Yijiu asked Ludak.

The latter nodded.

The three districts have been working hard for unmanned projects in recent years, and the technical support of other units is very large.

Without the project of unmanned automatic processing workshop, research on CNC machine tools, industrial robots, etc., and exploration in the field of automation will all be affected.

This is the largest project in the three districts and involves many aspects.

"Relax, with the development of the market and the development of science and technology, the entry of robots into industrial production in the future is unstoppable. From the early 1980s to the present, how fast labor costs have risen, we should be the most engaged in technical research in this area. Clear." Liu Yijiu comforted Ludak.

The rise of the robot army is already an unstoppable trend in the future.
