LED lighting companies are moving towards "machine substitution"

A LED bulb was produced in 3 seconds, and some LED companies did it. This is the power of automated production. Some LED entrepreneurs have a solid foundation and have realized fully automated production early; others have not been particularly well funded, and have introduced semi-automated production lines, which not only take into account costs but also increase production efficiency. There are still some companies waiting to see, but they are also watching closely and waiting for maturity.

It is foreseeable that automated production is an inevitable trend. With the introduction of “machine substitution” support and capital subsidy policies, the process of LED enterprise production automation will accelerate.

With the rise in labor prices, the “demographic dividend” of Chinese manufacturing is disappearing. LED lighting companies are faced with the high cost of labor and the decline of profits. Therefore, in the LED lighting enterprises, the "machine substitution" has gradually emerged, that is, the intelligent technology transformation of LED enterprises is carried out by using robots, automatic control equipment or automated assembly lines. To achieve the purpose of reducing staff, increasing efficiency, improving quality, and ensuring safety.

Advantages of automated production equipment for LED lamps

The automatic production of LED lamps is realized by introducing various sensing technologies, image processing technologies and online detection technologies to realize light source modules (light boards, light bars, wicks, etc.), power modules, and covers, heat sinks, and lamp holders. ), lens, insulation sleeve and other accessories for automatic alignment and loading and unloading, automatic assembly, automatic aging, online detection, automatic sub-bin, automatic coding and other functions. At the same time, the information technology is used to integrate the production process data and the light color data of the product inspection to realize the information sharing of the production process quality control, purchase and sales and after-sales service, and the management is more efficient.

The following is an example of the types of automated production equipment, for reference only.

LED lamp automation production needs to be improved

1, LED lamps to achieve standardization, in order to large-scale automated production.

At present, China's LED industry standards are numerous and chaotic, and not uniform. The standard technical indicators are backward. According to the traditional standard development process, it takes 1-2 years from standard development to standard implementation. However, the LED lighting industry as an emerging industry, the development of its industrial technology can be described as ever-changing, and the standards are often implemented during the promotion. Not in line with industry reality. The standard implementation feedback is poor. After the current LED lighting industry standard is completed, it fails to fully consider the benefit evaluation and feedback optimization work in the standard implementation process, resulting in the standard not being effectively modified and not reflecting the actual reality of the industry.

2. There are many varieties and specifications of LED lamps, which restricts their automatic production.

There are many types of LED lamps, new material applications, technological breakthroughs, and refurbishment of the style structure, which brings difficulties to the automated production of LED lamps. Is it possible to use automated production equipment for any kind of LED luminaires, if possible, different types of LED luminaires corresponding to automated production equipment, general-purpose LED luminaires automated production equipment, compared to the two, which method produces more products Meet the standards and better quality. In addition, the intelligent automated production line for the development and manufacture of a certain LED lamp has not been successfully debugged. This luminaire may have been updated. The new materials and new structure will make the original assembly process no longer applicable, resulting in the original funds. And waste of human input.

3, the intelligent production line is expensive, making it difficult for LED manufacturers to determine.

The intelligent automatic production of LED lamps introduces various sensing technologies, image processing technologies, automatic assembly technologies and on-line inspection technologies. The equipment is costly, the domestic automated production line is millions of yuan, and the imported automation production line is tens of millions of dollars. Lamp manufacturers are discouraged. This requires equipment developers and manufacturers to grasp a "degree", is it necessary to apply various advanced technologies to the automation equipment, how much operator can reduce the number of operators, how much efficiency, and how much product quality Designers need to weigh carefully. Lamp manufacturers need a practical, reliable, cost-effective production line or equipment, rather than a beautiful landscape that can't be used.

4. How to consume these huge production capacity for large-scale automated production of enterprises .

Whether it's OEM production for other companies or building channels on their own, these are just a way for automated production companies to consume capacity. Only these production capacity can successfully find a market. Under the situation that the machine is fully open, automation and large-scale production will bring about cost reduction and profitability of the enterprise.

Incentive policies for “machine substitution”
