Features of flexible production line

Compared with the traditional automated production line, flexible production line is more flexible, and can produce a variety of the same specifications of different models of products, the applicability is stronger, and can save costs and reduce expenses for companies.

With the continuous increase in labor costs, enterprises are facing difficulties in recruiting and retaining workers, and with the development of science and technology, society has put forward higher and higher requirements for the function and quality of products. The cycle of product updates is becoming shorter and shorter, and the complexity of products is also becoming higher and higher. Traditional large-scale production methods are being challenged. This challenge not only poses a threat to small and medium-sized enterprises, but also disturbs large and medium-sized enterprises.

Because in a large-scale production model, flexibility and productivity are contradictory. It is well known that only a single variety, a large batch, a specific equipment, and a stable and efficient process can constitute economies of scale. On the contrary, multiple varieties, small-scale production, and low equipment specificity, under similar processing conditions, frequent adjustment of working devices, process stability is difficult to mention, and production efficiency is bound to be affected.

In order to improve the flexibility and production efficiency of the manufacturing industry at the same time, shorten the production cycle and reduce product costs while ensuring product quality, and ultimately make small and medium-sized batch production compete with large-scale production, flexible automation systems have emerged.
