Flexible Manufacturing Assists Intelligent Manufacturing Upgrade of Automobile Industry

Abstract

The automotive industry has always held a pivotal position in the manufacturing sector. As the manufacturing industry undergoes intelligent transformation and upgrading, flexible manufacturing technology has consistently played a crucial role in the “smart” manufacturing upgrade of the automotive industry. This technology effectively adapts to changes in both internal and external environments, promptly responds to and addresses various uncertainties, significantly reduces production cycles and costs, while ensuring product quality and efficiency. This article conducts research and analysis on the application of flexible technologies in the “smart” manufacturing upgrade of the automotive industry. It briefly explores the fundamental characteristics of flexible manufacturing technology. Subsequently, it analyzes the core value of applying flexible manufacturing technology in the “smart” manufacturing upgrade of the automotive industry. It investigates the application of flexible manufacturing technology in the automotive industry’s “smart” manufacturing, focusing on flexible production equipment, flexible material transfer systems, flexible measurement systems, and flexible production lines. Through this research, this paper provides references and insights for the deep integration of China’s automotive industry with flexible manufacturing technology.
