TMTS 2024 5 elements of digital transformation to open the road of industrial upgrading.

2024-03-18

Machine tool is known as the "mother of all machines", "mother machine", "mother of all industries", etc. Therefore, the trend of digital transformation in the machine tool industry is driving the upgrading of the entire manufacturing industry. This time, the exhibitors will showcase the outstanding achievements in each field.

Smart Manufacturing
Automation and digitalisation of the production process through intelligent technology can improve production efficiency and quality. Exhibitors such as KEYENCE Taiwan’s dimensional measurement series, "Image Dimension Measuring Instrument IM-8000" and "Handheld Three-dimensional Measuring Instrument XM-5000", have built-in data report output function, which enables data analysis directly after measurement and improves the problem of manual measurement and transcription errors in the past.
ACCUTEX TECHNOLOGIES' "Apoller" control system adopts the EtherCAT protocol, which has higher control efficiency and scalability, and can integrate various peripheral devices and more sensors. With Windows human-machine interface, it can not only achieve automatic scrap removal, equipment self-diagnosis and automatic fault notification, but is also the first in the industry to integrate multiple devices. It is also the first machine in the industry to integrate multiple devices. With the software, it can be used for BOM import, automatic process design, automatic wire-cutting programming, and processing task (machine) assignment with automatic scheduling, urgent parts insertion, etc., to upgrade the production line towards automation.
BRIGHT JING CHIN MACHINERY's spindle gripper products are introduced into the automated production line during the production process. At present, some of the components are processed by Fanuc's automatic robotic arm to assist in automatic loading and unloading, which improves the large amount of manpower demand and increases the effect of the same unit of manpower in the same unit of time by 2 times and enables quick and flexible switching between mass production lines and small quantity and multi-species production lines. All manufacturers will be exhibiting related inspection and control systems to help factories move towards intelligent production lines.

Data Analytics and Cloud Computing
Through the application of big data, AI and other technologies, data analysis of the production process and product quality, or through cloud computing technology to achieve production data management and application, optimization of the production process. YINSH PRECISION has actively introduced the "Virtual-Realistic Integration Core System for Integrating Information Convergence of Heterogeneous Systems" and "Enhancing Decision Making Quality through Data Analysis" to meet the needs of high-end customers at different stages of operation, such as small quantity, multiple samples, and mass production of customized precision parts.
KAO FONG MACHINERY presents the machine status in real time through intelligent Internet and performs data analysis and calculation in local/private cloud database to provide ENDUSER abnormal state troubleshooting suggestions to achieve the effectiveness of machine maintenance and stabilize 5-axis spatial accuracy and machining quality to optimize the machining efficiency of the machine. BRIGHT JING CHIN MACHINERY produces precision nuts and spindle jaws, also through a variety of equipment and data integration, the production line towards automation to upgrade and improve production efficiency.

 AIoT
Integrate AI and IoT technologies to transform the factors of production, such as man, machine, material, method, and environments, into data resources. The Intelligent 4.0 ballscrew from HIWIN and the cooling machine system APP from TAIWAN SPINFLO can both utilize smart IoT technology to monitor machine conditions in real-time, optimizing the maintenance cycles and effectiveness of machine repairs.
CAMPRO PRECISION already has a good foundation and application in the original visualization field, monitoring system, intelligent machine, IIoT, AIOT and other technology platforms; including the central control system that can control the automated production line, and the tactical situation system that provides managers with a view of the operating status of the equipment.
WEXTEN PRECISE's cooler products are paired with AIOT, which collects a large amount of data such as temperature, flow rate and pressure, and then uploads the data to the cloud via communication technologies such as Wi-Fi and LAN (Local Area Network), allowing equipment owners to understand the operating status of the cooler and further integrating the data between the equipment and the cooler, enabling predictive maintenance in advance and visualisation of the data.

Digital Twin/Human-Machine Collaboration
DA SHIANG AUTOMATION INDUSTRIAL will showcase tool management solutions in collaboration with ABB robots, and SHE HONG INDUSTRIAL's products cover automation and intelligent technology, realising human-free operation of the production process through the introduction of robotic arms and intelligent control systems; the products are equipped with key features such as i-Factory, machining estimation and 3D interference checking, which together drive the modernization of the manufacturing industry and improve production efficiency, quality and safety. TOPSDISK is also constantly pursuing technological innovation through digital technology for simulating and optimizing production processes and intelligent technology for human-machine collaboration in electronic control.

Blockchain Technology
The application of blockchain technology to realize product traceability and quality control enhances product reliability and trust, and MONGTEC PRECISION uses smart chip technology on the tool holder, allowing users to use mobile phones to control the use and performance of the tool holder. The high-speed presses of FAIR OAKS PRECISION can also support the data extraction function of the network port to realize the digital management and equipment monitoring function of Industry 4.0.
