Ntawm no yog Cov Kev Hloov Pauv Hloov Dua Tshiab uas tau hloov kho GE Cov Khoom Siv Hluav Taws Xob

Muaj ntau hype txog txhua yam digital hauv kev tsim khoom. Koj tsis tuaj yeem qhib rau hauv kev lag luam xov xwm lossis tshwm sim ntawm kev lag luam tawm yam tsis muaj dej nyab nrog cov dab neeg (thiab kev muag khoom ntau heev) txog Kev Lag Luam Hauv Is Taws Nem ntawm Yam (IIoT) thiab Plaub Ntu Industrial Revolution (IR4).

Tab sis yuav ua li cas txhua yam uas ua si tawm hauv lub ntiaj teb tiag tiag ntawm kev ua khoom?

GE Cov Khoom Siv Hluav Taws Xob (GEA) muaj qhov piv txwv zoo ntawm qhov ntawd. Lawv cov kev hloov pauv digital tau pib li ntawm tsib xyoos dhau los, coj los ntawm Dave Leone, Tus Thawj Coj Loj, Kev Tswj Xyuas Qhov Loj thiab nws pab neeg, uas tau yeej xyoo no thawj qhov khoom plig kub hauv lub koom haum kev lag luam thiab Systems Engineers Cup kev sib tw. Dab tsi tau pib ua qhov kev ntsuas txo qis ntawm kev lag luam tsheb hauv xyoo 2015 hauv kev tshawb nrhiav cov txheej txheem zoo dua hauv cov khoom tsim thiab kev ntsuas tau dhau los ua lub tuam txhab thoob plaws kev siv zog uas kov txhua yam ntawm kev lag luam.

Hom kev lag luam wholesale siv cov cuab yeej siv siab tshaj qhov no sawv cev tsis yooj yim rau kev pib. Nws yog qhov nyuaj heev rau lub tuam txhab uas muaj hnub nyoog tshaj 100 xyoo. GEA hnub rov qab mus rau 1907, thiab rau feem ntau ntawm nws cov keeb kwm nws yog ib feem ntawm General Electric kom raug. Niaj hnub no, GEA yog ib feem ntawm Haier Smart Home.

GEA's Appliance Park lub hauv paus chaw ua haujlwm thiab chaw tsim khoom loj hauv Louisville, Kentucky, hnub rov qab mus rau xyoo 1951. Qhov chaw 750-acre hosts tag nrho ntawm 8,100 tus neeg ua haujlwm, suav nrog 1,600 tus tsim thiab tsim engineers uas pab tsim thiab tsim lub tuam txhab cov kab ntawm cov tshuab ntxhua khaub ncaws, tshuab ziab khaub ncaws, tshuab ntxhua khaub ncaws, tub yees, thiab lwm yam khoom siv hauv tsev thiab kev lag luam. GEA kuj tseem muaj lwm cov chaw tsim khoom hauv Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina thiab Tennessee, nrog rau 13 lub chaw faib khoom hauv Asmeskas thiab lwm yam haujlwm thoob ntiaj teb.

Txawm hais tias muaj ntau tshaj li ib puas xyoo ntawm kev ua lag luam ua tau zoo, tab sis, ua ntej Haier tau txais cov engineers pom qhov yuav tsum tau hloov. "Nws tsis yog peb xav paub thiab xav tshawb nrhiav," Leone piav qhia. “Tib neeg tau nug, 'Puas muaj txoj hauv kev zoo dua?' Thaum peb saib ib ncig, peb nug peb tus kheej, 'Yuav ua li cas yog tias cov chaw tsim khoom siv tuaj yeem siv txoj hauv kev tsheb - peb puas tuaj yeem cuam tshuam peb kev lag luam?'

Lub hom phiaj tseem ceeb ntawm kev siv zog yog nyob rau hauv kev tsim thiab kev tsim khoom kam rau ua. Kev ntsuas kev lag luam tsheb uas tau pib xyoo 2015 tau coj mus rau GEA thawj qhov kev siv thev naus laus zis digital, 3D scanning, hauv 2016. Qhov ntawd tau ua rau tsim kom muaj pab pawg tswj xyuas qhov ntev hauv 2017, thiab ntxiv cov cuab yeej digital thiab cov txheej txheem ntxiv rau ntau xyoo tom ntej. . Leone hais tias "Tsuas yog txhua yam koj tuaj yeem taw tes rau lub tshuab luam ntawv ntawm, koj tuaj yeem digitize," Leone hais. “Qhov ntawd qhib qhov rooj rau digital engineering. Peb xa mus rau nws yog peb qhov tseeb ntawm qhov tseeb. "

Jim Beary, GEA's Technical Expert thiab Instructor rau GD&T, Dimensional Control, Gaging thiab Inspection, pom zoo. Nws tau hais tias "Ua ntej peb pib, txhua yam zoo nkauj ib-dimensional," nws hais. "Dab tsi peb qhov kev hloov pauv digital tau ua tiav yog qhov kev hloov pauv 3D tiag tiag, hloov peb los ntawm qhov chaw ua haujlwm ib puag ncig mus rau peb-dimensional. Engineering tam sim no tau ua lag luam wholesale nyob rau hauv 3D ib puag ncig, siv tej yam xws li ATOS xiav lub teeb scanners rau digitizing thiab Polyworks software rau 3D tshuaj xyuas. Peb tau txais cov ntaub ntawv nplua nuj heev. "

Leone tau hais ntxiv tias "Nws tau rov qab txhais tau tias peb tsim cov khoom lag luam li cas," "Nws tau coj mus rau ntau qhov kev hloov pauv tshiab, uas tau hloov pauv peb lub tuam txhab."

Kev tsim qauv digital pem hauv ntej thiab lub peev xwm luam theej tau ua rau ntau qhov kev siv dav dav ntawm cov thev naus laus zis digital. Leone hais tias "Nrog 3D scanning, koj tsim ib qho kev sawv cev digital ntawm lub cev," Leone hais. "Koj muaj peev xwm overlay nrog CAD tsim thiab tsim ib daim ntawv qhia 'kub' los yog 'xim' uas pom tau hais tias qhov tseeb ntawm qhov zoo sib xws rau kev tsim qauv. Nws yog ib qho ntawm cov thev naus laus zis tsim los ntawm tag nrho cov kev txav no. Cov teeb meem uas keeb kwm yuav siv sij hawm ntau lub lis piam los yog ntau lub hlis los daws, hnub no tuaj yeem daws tau hauv cov xuab moos lossis hnub. Cov txiv neej uas nyob ib puag ncig ntev hais tias, 'Qhov no zoo li kev dag.'

"Thaum koj tab tom tham txog kev nqis peev ob txhiab daus las, koj xav kom muaj peev xwm taw tes rau txoj hauv kev uas koj tau txhim kho qhov zoo, tsim khoom, thiab lwm yam, thiab Dave pab pawg xa tawm," Beary ntxiv. "Lawv tau teeb tsa peb rau kev nce qib ntxiv xws li kev tshuaj xyuas cov khoom lag luam digital, kev sib koom tes ntawm cov ntaub ntawv digital, kev siv cov cuab yeej digital, thiab 3D tolerance tsom xam, qhov twg peb tuaj yeem ua digitally twv seb txhua qhov chaw ntawm kev sib dhos haum ua ke. Engineers tsis xav saib daim ntawv nthuav qhia ntxiv lawm. Lawv hais tias, 'Qhia kuv daim ntawv qhia xim.' Thaum peb nkag mus rau hauv lub ntiaj teb digital no, nws loj hlob hauv paus thoob plaws hauv lub tuam txhab. "

Kev hloov pauv digital tau kov yeej txhua yam ntawm GEA kev lag luam. "Qhov cuam tshuam yog tias peb tam sim no muaj qhov kawg-rau-kawg digital engineering," Leone piav qhia. "Qhov ntawd tau txhim kho peb cov khoom zoo thiab kev ua haujlwm zoo, thiab nws tau txhim kho peb txoj haujlwm ua tiav. Nws tau ua kom peb cov kev soj ntsuam hauv paus, thiab ua rau peb tsim thiab tsim cov khoom zoo nkauj uas nyob hauv ib nrab ntawm lub tsev hauv Tebchaws Meskas. "

Leone hais tias "Peb cov kev pabcuam tau nrawm dua vim tias cov cuab yeej no," "Peb tab tom nrhiav tib lub tswv yim ua lag luam hauv lwm lub hnab ris ntawm peb txoj kev lag luam, xws li kev tsim khoom thiab kev xa tawm, thiab qhov ntawd tau ua rau muaj kev vam meej rau peb. Kev ywj pheej cov ntaub ntawv yog lub ntsiab lus thoob plaws hauv peb lub lag luam. Nws tshem tawm qee qhov bureaucracy.

"Peb tab tom txuas ntxiv tsim, txuas ntxiv tsim kho tshiab," Leone hais ntxiv. “Tseem muaj ntau chav los txhim kho. Peb tab tom loj hlob lub peev xwm ntawm peb cov neeg, txheej txheem, thiab thev naus laus zis. Excellence ua raws li kev txawj ntse. Peb nyob hauv ib nrab tsev nyob hauv Teb Chaws Asmeskas, thiab peb xav nyob hauv lwm ib nrab. Peb yuav mus txog qhov ntawd los ntawm kev siv cov cuab yeej no los ua cov khoom zoo. "
