Flexible Manufacturing of Intelligent Factories

The flexible manufacturing of intelligent factories is reflected in the ability of equipment systems to adapt to changes in the external working environment of the factory and the ability of systems to adapt to sudden changes in their own equipment. In the flexible manufacturing of factories, the test of equipment systems is the reaction speed to the production line and supply chain



The fundamental characteristics of flexible manufacturing determine its strong adaptability to changes in manufacturing responsibilities and production planning environments. Therefore, promoting flexible manufacturing in Chinese manufacturing enterprises has extremely specific significance:



Flexible manufacturing "is the mainstream direction and mutual aid foundation of contemporary production methods. The increasingly fierce market competition and increasing production skills are driving continuous innovation in contemporary enterprise production methods, such as timed production, lean production, concurrent engineering, agile manufacturing, biomimetic manufacturing, green manufacturing, manufacturing resource planning, supply chain governance, and so on.



And these progressive production methods are all based on "flexibility" as their starting point and fundamental. For example, the fundamental condition of lean production is to produce high-quality products according to the needs of users; Both smart manufacturing and biomimetic manufacturing are quickly adapted to various changing requirements; Concurrent engineering integrates the suitability requirements of production, manufacturing, sales, and service processes during the product planning and development stage; Manufacturing resource planning and supply chain governance seek broader and higher flexibility from the scope of the entire production chain.
