Efficient Layout Design Case of High-Precision Coupled Sealer in Compact Production Space
Introduction
With the rapid development of industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing, high-precision coupled sealer is more and more widely used in the fields of electronics, semiconductors, and medical devices. However, many production workshops face challenges such as limited space, dense equipment, and complex logistics. How to realize the efficient layout of high-precision coupling and packaging machine in the compact production space has become a key issue for enterprises to improve production efficiency and reduce costs. In this paper, we will discuss the efficient layout design of high-precision coupled packaging machine in compact production space through an actual case.
Background
An electronic manufacturing enterprise focuses on the production of miniature sensors, and its production workshop covers an area of only 500 square meters, requiring the installation of multiple high-precision coupling and packaging machines and other auxiliary equipment. Due to the limited production space, the company faces the following challenges:
1. Low space utilization: the layout of the equipment is not reasonable, resulting in some areas being unused while others are crowded. 2. Low logistics efficiency: the material flow is not efficient.
2. Low logistics efficiency: complex material flow paths increase transportation time and costs.
3. equipment interference: high-precision coupling and sealing machine has high environmental requirements, and vibration and noise from other equipment may affect its performance.
4. Poor scalability: When adding equipment or adjusting the production line in the future, the layout is difficult to adjust flexibly.
Efficient Layout Design Principles
In response to the above challenges, the design team proposed the following efficient layout design principles:
1. Modular Layout: Divide the production workshop into several functional modules, such as packaging area, testing area, storage area, etc., to ensure that the functions of each area are clear and do not interfere with each other. 2. Compact Equipment Arrangement: Adopt a compact equipment arrangement.
2. Compact equipment arrangement: adopt high-density equipment arrangement to make full use of vertical space and reduce floor space.
3. Optimized logistics path: Design short material flow path to reduce transportation time and cost.
4. Environmental isolation: set up independent working area for high precision coupling and packaging machine to reduce external interference.
5. Flexible and expandable: adopt movable equipment and modularized design, which is convenient for future adjustment and expansion.
Specific design scheme
1. Modularized partition
- Encapsulation area: Centralized placement of high-precision coupling and packaging machines, to ensure that the distance between the equipment meets the operation and maintenance requirements. Each machine is equipped with independent power supply and gas source connections to minimize pipeline crossings.
- Inspection area: Located near the encapsulation area to facilitate quick access to inspection of encapsulated products. The testing equipment adopts compact design to reduce the floor space.
- Warehousing area: set up at the edge of the workshop, using three-dimensional warehousing system, making full use of vertical space. Automatic conveyor belt is set up between the storage area and the encapsulation area to realize the efficient flow of materials.
- Operation area: Provides a comfortable working environment for operators with ergonomic workbenches and chairs.
2. Compact Equipment Arrangement
- Adopting the “back-to-back” arrangement, multiple high-precision coupling and packaging machines are placed back-to-back to reduce the width of the aisle between the machines. Each machine is equipped with a separate maintenance aisle to ensure ease of operation and maintenance.
- Utilizing vertical space, installing hanging conveyor belts and pipelines above the equipment to reduce the occupation of floor space.
3. Optimize the logistics path
- Design a one-way logistics path, where materials enter the encapsulation area from the storage area, then enter the inspection area and return to the storage area. Avoid material flow back and forth in the workshop, reduce transportation time and cost.
- The use of automatic guided vehicles (AGV) and conveyor belt systems to achieve automated transportation of materials, reducing manual operation.
4. Environmental isolation
- Set up an independent working area for the high-precision coupling encapsulation machine, adopt sound insulation and vibration-proof materials to reduce the influence of external noise and vibration on the equipment.
- The air purification system is installed in the encapsulation area to ensure that the cleanliness of the environment meets the requirements of the equipment.
5. Flexible and Expandable
- Adopting removable equipment and modularized design, it is easy to adjust and expand in the future. For example, the high-precision coupling sealer is mounted on a removable base and can be repositioned as needed.
- The design reserves space for future equipment additions or line adjustments.
Implementation effect
Through the above efficient layout design scheme, the enterprise successfully solved the problem of limited production space and realized the following effects:
1. Space utilization rate improved: the space utilization rate of the production workshop was increased by 30%, and the unused area was fully utilized.
2. Improved logistics efficiency: after the optimization of the material flow path, the transportation time is reduced by 20% and the logistics cost is lowered.
3. Stable equipment performance: the working environment of the high-precision coupling and packaging machine has been improved, and the equipment failure rate has been reduced by 15%.
4. Enhanced scalability: modular design and movable equipment make the production layout more flexible for future adjustment and expansion.
Conclusion
Achieving efficient layout design of high-precision coupling and packaging machines in a compact production space requires comprehensive consideration of modular partitioning, compact equipment arrangement, logistics path optimization, environmental isolation, and flexible scalability. Through scientific layout design, enterprises can make full use of the limited production space, improve production efficiency, reduce costs and enhance competitiveness.
