"Lao Zhang, the new automatic packaging machine is in trial operation today, you go to watch the production line!" The words of the workshop director last Wednesday made me, a master who has worked in the packaging workshop for eight years, excited. Speaking of this new equipment launched by our factory, it is a "hardcore player" that integrates three core technologies.
Just after eight o'clock in the morning, you can see this automatic packaging machine grabbing glass bottles neatly through the transparent protective cover. Compared with traditional equipment that requires manual adjustment of the gripping spacing, it automatically identifies the product size through the visual positioning system, and can even grasp special-shaped packaging boxes steadily. Xiao Wang from the next production line came over and exclaimed: "This robotic arm is more stable than our master's hand!"
What surprised me the most was its flexible configuration function. In the customized project for a daily chemical company last year, the customer temporarily requested to add a leak detection link. If it were in the past, it would take at least three days to shut down the equipment for modification. Now this packaging automatic cartoning machine has six expansion interfaces, and the detection module was connected in two hours. This flexibility is indeed rare in the industry. No wonder the customer who makes health products in Guangdong placed an additional order on the spot.
At lunch, Li Gong from the technical department told me that the core advantage of this equipment lies in the "dynamic compensation algorithm". Simply put, it can monitor the strength of the carton in real time, and automatically reduce the sealing pressure when encountering a carton with a softer material. This is especially useful for friends who do cross-border e-commerce-after all, no one can predict the bumps during the sea transportation. With this layer of intelligent protection, the cargo damage rate can be reduced by more than 30%.
At 3 pm, the equipment suddenly gave an alarm, which made me break out in a cold sweat. I took a closer look and found that the simulated empty box used for testing was stuck. Just as I was about to take the tools to disassemble it, the packaging automatic case packing machine actually automatically started the reverse transmission mode and solved the problem in less than 30 seconds. This self-correction ability is simply a life-saving artifact at the critical moment of rushing the deadline.
Before leaving get off work, the factory director brought a new customer to visit. Looking at the production data jumping on the display screen of the equipment, the customer suddenly asked: "I heard that some automatic case packing machines will scratch the surface of the product?" I picked up a packaging box from the finished product area and handed it over: "Please take a closer look at the edge treatment. We have installed a cushioning pad on the robot arm, and even the gold foil label of the red wine bottle can be intact."
When I walked out of the workshop, the setting sun made the equipment shell shiny. I remember that when I first entered the industry eight years ago, everyone still called the automatic case packing equipment "iron lumps". Now our factory's packaging automatic case packing machine can automatically switch working modes according to the order volume. I heard from the young people in the sales department that they have received more than 20 pre-orders in the past half month, and even customers in Southeast Asia have sent inquiry emails.
Is there any room for improvement in this equipment? I am looking forward to adding voice control function. When the time comes, I can shout to the equipment "Old man, I need to load 800 boxes today", and it will adjust the parameters and start working by itself. That is the real intelligent era!
