Dawn of the digital manufacturing world
定制产品需要批量尺寸仅为1
用于洗涤器干燥器的新装配线
制造最多40,000种变种一种经济的方式和同一产品 - 这是挑战Kärcher在制造洗涤器干燥器时必须面对的。这将仅使用采用行业4.0原则的新制造理念。现代化装配线是由Kärcher的生产设施部门设计，与斯图加特Fraunhofer劳动经济学和组织（IAO）合作，并在短期内同时建立在工作生产过程中。一年多，生产线一直在运作巨大成功。植物经理Carsten Schlenker解释说：“越来越多的产品变体使批量优化的制造更加困难。新设备细节进一步提高了复杂性。由于新的生产线，现在可以以经济上可行的方式进行单件生产甚至建立新的变体也是一个简单的过程。“
每个单独制造合同的起点是由客户配置的机器本人。它们能够在许多具有各种设备功能的多种型号之间进行选择，将机器适应相关要求和当地条件。例如，有四种不同的抽吸电动机可用，允许机器适用于适合本地电源的电压和频率，或者为电池运行装备。洗涤器头部还提供多种变型 - 作为滚子或盘式变体，每个宽度和直径各自。控制面板目前在13个变体中制造 - 将这种品种乘以无数终端产品。
新技术设置为开始：
Scanning the QR code
Each assembly order is assigned a QR code. When the code is scanned, the order data with all of the details relating to the ordered machine are transferred to a rewritable RFID tag and a parts list with all of the single parts required for assembly, right down to the tiniest screws, is recorded.
装配车上的RFID标签
RFID标签连接到装配车上的特定点。
已经安装了罐模块
在这个专门设计的移动框架中，已经安装了机器的大型新鲜和脏水箱，其中包括一部分。
汇编附加组件
The employee now moves the cart along the assembly line and fits the next components such as hoses, valves, filters and control panel onto the tank in a defined sequence. This involves the cart passing through several stations, in which the components and fastening material are in boxes ready to use.
拾取式系统使组装更容易
In keeping with Industry 4.0 solutions, the RFID tag on the assembly cart communicates directly with the production line's shelving system and activates thepick。At each station, a green light indicates which parts are required for the machine variant currently being produced, and which boxes these parts can be found in. Monitors at each workstation also show assembly instructions.
A sensor above each box registers when a part has been taken from it and switches off the green light. The light above the box containing the next component simultaneously switches from blue to green. And if the employee reaches into the adjacent box by mistake, this is indicated by a red light.
Intelligent control of the testing station
最终，新系统还可以实现测试站的智能控制。RFID标签中包含的机器配置被调用并创建了适当的测试计划。通过这种方式，创建了一个匹配客户希望的洗涤器干燥机，从订购最终测试。
使用洗涤器干燥器的硬质和弹性地板覆盖物的深度清洁
Scrubber driers are used to clean floors with coverings such as PVC, linoleum, parquet, tiles or granite. Two work steps are mechanised with their help: scrubbing (wet wiping) and, immediately after this, drying the floor. This mechanisation allows both work steps to be carried out more effectively, more quickly and more economically than if carried out manually.
The machine combines two tools:
- one for scrubbing (roller or disc brushes)
- one for drying the floor
为了擦洗，淡水和清洁剂混合（单独提醒） - 清洁溶液被称为 - 并通过辊子或盘引导到地板上。由于机器的重量，与手动擦拭相比，刷子的接触压力非常高。这使得清洁非常有效，甚至可以被移除顽固，粘性污垢。
After scrubbing, the squeegees at the back of the machine collect the dirty water, the mixture of water, cleaning agent and dirt, and direct this into the tank which is intended for this purpose. The floor is dry immediately and can be walked on without the risk of slipping.
