The development trend of sheet metal processing and welding automation

With the steady growth of my country's economy, the sheet metal products industry is also developing. However, at this stage, most sheet metal processing is still a labor-intensive industry, and the flow of post technicians and personal professional skills have a great impact on the stability of product quality. For example: different welding technicians, the size and relative height of the welding gap, the distance of the welding gap and the welding speed are obviously different, resulting in the continuous occurrence of welding defects such as fake welding, missing welding, welding wire rope, and welding tumors. Therefore, it is difficult to effectively control the final product quality, the production and processing repair rate is high, the energy consumption is increased, and the income is decreased, which can directly limit the stable development direction of the company. For this reason, it is necessary to first study the development direction of the industry field.
A longitudinal comparison of the sheet metal fabrication industry.
Manufacturers in my country's sheet metal industry emerge in an endless stream, and a hundred schools of thought contend. With the impact of the slowdown in domestic economic growth, the sheet metal industry as a whole has encountered a "price war", and equipment, management and the market have "fallen" to varying degrees, resulting in lower prices and lower earnings. Parts processing companies in certain regions have closed and moved.
In terms of equipment: the income of the enterprise has decreased, and the investment in advanced processing equipment and inspection equipment is obviously insufficient, so the gap with international advanced enterprises is getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult to make qualitative changes in a short period of time.
Management: Information technologies such as raw material flow, logistics, and process flow still have difficulties in information expression, quantification, and extraction, and there are many problems such as irregular formats and information islands, which are not conducive to the management's quick response.
Market: The sheet metal processing of most factories is only for the purpose of product delivery, without a good reputation, maintaining brand awareness, digging and accumulating in-depth major fields, manufacturing their own products, and directly facing the market. Change the operational thinking, open design, R&D, manufacturing and other links to achieve large-scale, batch and even personalized production.
In the current situation, many companies may think of reforms, increase investment in advanced equipment, expand the introduction of talents, and see some successful companies. Change. However, on the path of change, the pain points of the internal management department of the enterprise will prevent it from developing to a higher level. Serious situations directly lead to the failure of corporate reforms, and all investments are in vain. To this end, I am willing to discuss the issue of welding automation on the road of reform with my colleagues who are preparing to develop sheet metal automation processing.
At present, the cost of human resources is rising, there is a shortage of excellent welders, and many companies are facing a situation of lack of welders. It has become a trend to choose welding robots instead. We must make good use of welding robots and really play their role.
