As a key link in the ship manufacturing process, port mechanical forging is very important for the safe and stable operation of the ship. With the continuous progress of science and technology, augmented reality (AR) technology has been widely used in many fields. This paper aims to discuss the application of augmented reality technology in ship port mechanical forgings, in order to improve manufacturing efficiency, reduce cost and guarantee quality.
Augmented reality technology is a technology that combines virtual information with the real world. Through head-mounted displays or other devices, virtual information is superimposed on the real scene to realize the interaction between virtual and reality. The application of this technology in ship port mechanical forgings has the following advantages:
Real-time: Augmented reality technology can provide information about forgings in real time, helping manufacturers make quick decisions.
Interactivity: Through augmented reality, manufacturers can interact with virtual models, improving the accuracy and efficiency of manufacturing.
Cost reduction: Augmented reality technology can be predicted and optimized at the product design stage, thus reducing production costs.
In the manufacturing process of mechanical forgings in ship ports, the following scenarios are suitable for using augmented reality technology:
Heat treatment: By superimposing virtual information, display forging temperature, time and other information in the heat treatment process, to help manufacturers better control the heat treatment process.
Forging: In the forging process, through the augmented reality technology to display the operating status of forging equipment, forging deformation and other information, in order to facilitate the manufacturing personnel to accurately control the forging process.
Extrusion: During the extrusion process, augmented reality technology displays information such as material flow and mold pressure to help manufacturers optimize the extrusion process.
In the production process of a large ship manufacturing enterprise, augmented reality technology is applied to improve the ship port machinery forging. Here’s what the case looks like:
Problem: The traditional forging process relies on experienced manufacturing personnel and is prone to defects in the production process, affecting product quality and production efficiency.
Solution: The use of augmented reality technology, the virtual model and the actual scene combined to improve the accuracy and efficiency of manufacturing.
Implementation effect: Through augmented reality technology, manufacturers can understand key information such as temperature and pressure of forgings in real time, quickly adjust process parameters, and improve product quality and production efficiency. At the same time, the technology also reduces the dependence on experienced manufacturing personnel and reduces production costs.
With the continuous development of science and technology, the application of augmented reality technology in ship port mechanical forging has a broad prospect. Possible future applications of augmented reality include:
Intelligent diagnosis: Real-time monitoring of forgings through augmented reality technology to identify potential problems in advance and improve the efficiency of repair and maintenance.
Remote collaboration: Use augmented reality technology to achieve real-time communication between remote experts and on-site manufacturing personnel to provide more professional guidance for the manufacturing process.
Automated production: Combining robotics and augmented reality technology to achieve automation and intelligence of production lines, further improving production efficiency and product quality.
In short, the application of augmented reality technology in ship port mechanical forgings has important value. Through the improvement of real-time monitoring, optimization design and intelligent manufacturing of forgings, it is expected to improve manufacturing efficiency, reduce costs, improve product quality and ensure production safety. With the further development of technology and the broadening of application scenarios, the application of augmented reality technology in the field of ship port mechanical forgings will have a broader prospect. However, it is also necessary to pay attention to the related technical challenges and development bottlenecks, such as equipment cost, technology maturity and data security issues, which will become an important direction of future research.
