The key to the smart factory,

　　We must first achieve automation,

　　How can factories be automated?

　　ANWHA Technology Conference,

　　An in-depth discussion was held on the cutting-edge technologies of automated factories.

　　On December 25, 2019, the ANWHA Technology Conference was held. More than 30 technical leaders from ANWHA’s executive team, R&D department, Powertrain Business Unit, New Energy Business Unit, Innovation Business Unit, and other divisions attended the conference. Centered on intelligent assembly, they engaged in in-depth discussions on the application of various solutions, including powertrains, new-energy three-electric systems, carbon-fiber composites, vision systems, and warehousing and logistics systems.

ANWHA’s “turnkey” solutions for factory automation

　　• Powertrain: Includes engine assembly lines, motor controller assembly lines, flat-wire motor rotor assembly lines, and complete assembly solutions. ANWHA’s engine assembly lines feature standardized and modular designs, shortening lead times and helping customers quickly ramp up production; its motor controller assembly lines support dual-track parallel switching, ensuring compatibility with various processes while offering scalability to meet evolving market demands; and its flat-wire motor assembly lines enable flexible process sequencing and enhance equipment aesthetics through industrial design, enabling customers to handle multi‑variety production and achieve industry‑leading standards. The company also shared concepts such as quick changeover, centralized material supply, flexible manufacturing, and lean production.

　　• New Energy “Three Electrics”: This encompasses assembly solutions for power battery modules and packs, electric motors, and electronic control systems. Our high-speed module‑assembly lines deliver rapid production, a high degree of automation, and advanced integration, enabling customers to maximize capacity within constrained facility spaces. Our battery‑pack assembly lines feature standardized, modular designs that shorten lead times, helping customers respond swiftly to market demands. During the session, we discussed high‑speed line technology, full‑component cleaning techniques, full‑component adhesive‑application processes, as well as the historical evolution and future trends of technologies related to battery modules and battery packs.

　　• Carbon Fiber Composites: The carbon fiber composite processing unit and assembly line deliver highly reliable, automated solutions that ensure consistent product quality. During the session, we shared insights on precision robotic control to guarantee product quality; iterative refinements of the overall design aesthetic based on established standard workstation concepts, integrating industrial design principles; and offline simulation to promptly identify and address potential issues.

　　• Vision Systems: Our vision systems encompass both 2D and 3D technologies, enabling customers to inspect and control product quality while providing on-site support that addresses real-world production challenges and delivers superior after-sales service. We share insights into 2D imaging, 2D inspection, and 3D inspection technologies.

　　• Warehousing and Logistics: An intelligent warehousing and logistics management system integrating a three-dimensional warehouse system, an AGV-based material handling system, and an MES information control system. It enables customers to implement a highly efficient, end-to-end solution, leveraging advanced control and information technologies to coordinate the operations of various equipment for automated inbound and outbound processes, while achieving automated data collection and refined warehouse management. The meeting discussed implemented case studies and future development plans.

　　As the global manufacturing industry shifts its competitive edge from cost to technology, technological innovation has become the core driving force. Through this technology conference, ANWHA encourages its technical staff to pursue innovation through hands-on experience; enhancing their technological innovation capabilities, in turn, helps refine production processes, reengineer workflows, and boost productivity, thereby creating greater value for customers.
