Analyze the intelligentized path of manufacturing informatization in the mold industry

The key to the development of the mold industry is to use information technology to drive and upgrade the manufacturing technology level of the mold industry. At present, the application of CAD/CAE/CAM technology and rapid model manufacturing technology in the mold industry has revolutionized the design and manufacturing technology of molds. In addition, the application of CNC precision and high-efficiency machining equipment in the development and manufacturing of molds, such as five-axis machining tools and high-speed milling, has greatly improved the level of development in the mold industry.

The informationization of an enterprise refers to how the company coordinates with the surrounding environmental conditions, develops and makes good use of information resources, and enables production and business activities to use the timely processing of information and smooth circulation to operate with high quality and efficiency. For the mold manufacturing industry, its information content mainly includes the digitization, integration, flexibility, and intelligence of the mold manufacturing, the virtualization of the manufacturing process, and the networking and globalization of the manufacturing process.

As we all know, the majority of mold companies are small and medium-sized enterprises, and most of them are from hand-workshop-type companies. At present, many mold companies in the domestic mold industry still use workshop-style management methods. Problems with cost, quality, and quality control are endless, and it is not uncommon for orders to be delayed or lost orders to lose customers.

In the face of fierce market competition and backward enterprise management methods and standards, the management and technical personnel in the mold enterprises can only be busy. The CAD/CAE/CAM systems and high-end numerical control processing equipment imported by the company with huge investments are also difficult to play. Due to its efficiency and level, most mold manufacturing companies lack the vitality and market competitiveness that are comparable to their production hardware.

Of course, these problems have also aroused the attention of many domestic mold makers who are aiming to enter the international mold market. Undoubtedly, how to improve the level of enterprise management and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises has become the most important issue for China's mold manufacturing industry to participate in the international market competition.

Therefore, mold manufacturing companies want to further improve their management level, have the ability to respond quickly and adjust in time, and it is difficult to achieve information management without a set of advanced management systems. Through information construction, the realization of integrated management of mold manufacturing companies is an effective way to promote enterprises to improve their business management.

Different from other manufacturing industries, the mold is a typical single-order production industry. Each order or each mold needs to communicate with customers in detail in terms of business and technology, otherwise it may have serious consequences. Loss is difficult to estimate. Therefore, in essence, the mold product is the most important activity target of the mold enterprise, and the production process is dependent on the mold product and changes along with the development of the mold product. In this way, the basics of the informationization of mold enterprises are transformed into informationization of the mold itself.

The use of mold manufacturing information management system can provide enterprises with a shared, consistent, and faithful process monitoring platform. In the information system, through project planning and process monitoring, real-time management can be performed on the entire life cycle of the mold (from order confirmation to model design, raw material procurement, processing and production, first trial mode, to mold modification and on-time delivery). The management personnel at the production line can directly report the actual progress of the mold production in the system. The system faithfully monitors every task of the project process. When a control point is delayed, the system will automatically send an alarm mail to relevant personnel. For early detection and resolution. Moreover, for some key tasks, it is also possible for the system to give early warning so that relevant personnel can be prepared and arranged early. Moreover, the promotion of informatization by mold manufacturers has unexpected benefits in terms of increasing their productivity, reducing production costs, and improving product quality.

Through the actual process of informationization of some domestic mold companies, we can understand that the information integration of mold manufacturing can effectively promote the standardization of enterprise management, improve the operational efficiency and market competitiveness of enterprises, and improve the management of enterprises. It is liberated from complicated and repetitive labor.

For senior executives, they can have more time to pay attention to the development direction of the company, strengthen communication with customers, and develop a wide range of markets. Market personnel can further strengthen the management of customer resources and find new customers. The technical supervisor can have time to pay attention to the development trend of mold technology, strengthen the exchange of technology within the industry, and continuously improve the technical level of the company. Production supervisors can also have more time to consider how to further improve ergonomics, improve quality and reduce costs, and continuously improve. . Therefore, mold companies should grasp the convenience and opportunities brought about by the information age, use their own characteristics for their own use, and lay a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the company.

Give priority to the development of smart molds. What is smart manufacturing equipment and smart mold? The so-called intelligent manufacturing equipment is a manufacturing equipment with sensing, analysis, decision-making and control functions. The intelligent mold also has the functions of sensing, analysis, decision-making and control. The stamping mold and die-casting mold with sensing and temperature control functions have the function of temperature control. The injection molds, etc., manufactured by intelligent control means such as injection molding parameters and in-mold flow conditions are intelligent molds. Luo Baihui, executive secretary of the International Mould and Hardware & Plastics Industry Suppliers Association, once pointed out that as China’s low-cost human resources are difficult to sustain and the level of science and technology continues to develop, automated and intelligent manufacturing will inevitably become an important development direction for modern manufacturing. Smart molds are bound to develop rapidly. Producing products with intelligent molds can further improve product quality and production efficiency, save more materials, realize automated production and green manufacturing. Therefore, although the current total amount of smart mold is still not much, but it represents the new direction of development of mold technology, will play an increasingly important role in the industry product structure adjustment and change in development methods. The development of intelligent molds will inevitably have a powerful driving role in promoting the rapid improvement of the entire mold industry. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to prioritize the development of intelligent molds in the development of the industry.

The successful development of "variety mold" from the Yangzhou University School of Mechanical Engineering came good news, the school led by Professor Song Aiping's scientific research team, after two years of scientific and technological research, and finally developed a new type of flexible molding rod mold. This set of molds can be used to replace several sets of molds because it can be easily and quickly reconstructed into 100 forms of molding surfaces.

According to reports, when manufacturing sheet metal covers for products such as automobiles, ships, aerospace, aviation, and military products, a large number of press forming molds are required. Traditional molds are usually expensive and have long manufacturing cycles. Now with such "variable" molds, it can greatly shorten the product development and manufacturing cycle, and reduce mold material consumption, reduce product costs, especially for small and medium quantities of curved panel forming process.

Rapid prototyping only takes three days to manufacture a mold. It is a difficult problem. It took about three months to build a mold. It takes only three days for the Nanjing Auto Group to create new molds. It is understood that the rapid prototyping technology recently developed by the Automotive Engineering Research Institute of the Nanjing Automobile Group uses laser scanning, and the liquid material in the machine can copy the model within three days. This set of technology is worth 400,000 US dollars, and it has 4 sets in the South China Automobile Group.
