With the continuous progress of science and technology and the increasingly fierce market competition, the metal forging industry is facing great challenges and opportunities. In order to improve product quality, reduce production costs, shorten delivery time, and meet the requirements of sustainable development, hardware forgings manufacturing enterprises must pay attention to advanced manufacturing technology and industrial upgrading. This paper will focus on the advanced manufacturing technology of metal forgings and the development of industrial upgrading.
Advanced manufacturing technology refers to the continuous innovation of manufacturing technologies and systems, including digital manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing, green manufacturing and other fields. In the manufacturing of metal forgings, the introduction of advanced manufacturing technology can bring the following advantages:
Improve production efficiency: Digital manufacturing technology and intelligent manufacturing equipment can improve production efficiency and reduce waste and unnecessary links in the production process.
Improve product quality: Advanced manufacturing technology and equipment can ensure the accuracy and consistency of product manufacturing, thereby improving product quality and stability.
Reduce production costs: By adopting advanced manufacturing technologies and systems, enterprises can reduce labor costs, raw material consumption and energy consumption, thereby improving production efficiency.
Meet environmental requirements: The introduction of green manufacturing technology and environmentally friendly materials can reduce environmental pollution and meet the requirements of sustainable development.
In the manufacturing of metal forgings, digital manufacturing technology can be introduced into various links, including mold design, forging, heat treatment and machining. Digital modeling and simulation technology can help enterprises design, optimize and validate products, avoid possible problems in the production process, and thus reduce development costs and risks. Digital factory technology can integrate production planning, production control, equipment management, etc., to realize the automation and intelligence of the production process.
Intelligent manufacturing refers to the intelligent and automated manufacturing process through the introduction of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, big data and other technologies. In the manufacturing of metal forgings, intelligent manufacturing technology can be applied to production control, equipment monitoring, quality testing and other fields. Through intelligent data analysis and optimization, production efficiency can be improved, energy consumption can be reduced, and product quality can be improved.
Green manufacturing refers to the integration of environmental protection and sustainable development concepts into the manufacturing process, including resource conservation, reduction of waste emissions, and the use of environmentally friendly materials. In the manufacturing of metal forgings, green manufacturing technology can help enterprises reduce energy consumption and raw material consumption, reduce environmental pollution, and improve the sustainable development ability of enterprises.
In addition to the introduction of advanced manufacturing technology, the upgrading and development of hardware forgings industry also needs to pay attention to the following aspects:
Industrial structure optimization: Hardware forgings manufacturing enterprises should optimize product structure and industrial structure according to market demand and technological development trends, develop high value-added products and services, and improve the competitiveness of enterprises.
Industrial chain collaborative innovation: enterprises should establish close cooperative relations with upstream and downstream enterprises to jointly research and develop new products and technologies, optimize the industrial chain, and improve the competitiveness of the entire industry.
Management model innovation: Enterprises should introduce modern management models and means, including enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply chain management (SCM), quality management (QM), etc., to achieve the optimization and upgrading of enterprise management and business processes.
Training of technical personnel: The introduction and development of advanced manufacturing technology requires talents with relevant skills and knowledge. Enterprises should strengthen the training and introduction of technical personnel, and establish a perfect technical personnel training system.
In short, advanced manufacturing technology and industrial upgrading development of metal forgings is an important means to improve product quality, reduce production costs, shorten delivery time, and also an important way to meet market demand and achieve sustainable development. Through the introduction of digital manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing, green manufacturing and other advanced manufacturing technologies, optimize the industrial structure, strengthen the industrial chain collaborative innovation, the introduction of modern management mode and the training of technical personnel and other measures, hardware forging manufacturing enterprises can achieve transformation and upgrading and development.
