In modern factories, increasing productivity is not just about speeding up machine operations, but about making equipment work together in a smarter way and reducing waste. First General Technology helps companies optimize their production processes by introducing Autonics high-precision sensors and intelligent control systems.

Through Autonics' high-precision photoelectric, temperature and pressure sensors, the production line can monitor every key link in real time. For example, in the electronics manufacturing industry, temperature sensors can ensure the stability of the welding process, avoid poor solder joints due to temperature fluctuations, and improve product yield.

Through the deep integration of PLC and motion control equipment, the production line can adjust the operating speed and rhythm according to real-time data. After the introduction of the system in a certain automobile parts manufacturer, not only did the production capacity increase by 15%-30%, but the coordinated operation between equipment also reduced the idle time of machines by about 20%.

The automation system not only makes the equipment "move", but also makes the equipment "smarter" through AI intelligent analysis. First General Technology integrates AI technology with Autonics equipment data to create a smart decision-making system.

Equipment load prediction: Analyze historical data through AI algorithms to predict equipment load, allowing production plans to be adjusted dynamically. For example, a semiconductor production line used AI to monitor equipment operation data and predicted the possible overload risk of the machine in advance, successfully reducing the sudden downtime accidents of 40%.

Smart production scheduling adjustment: Not only does the machine need to operate stably, the scheduling of the entire production line also requires intelligent management. The AI system can dynamically adjust production schedules based on real-time order demand and machine status to maximize the factory's capacity utilization. For example, in the food packaging production line, through the cooperation of Autonics sensors and AI systems, the packaging speed is increased by 15% and the material waste is effectively reduced by 10%.

Through the integration of First General Technology's technology and Autonics' advanced automation technology, companies can make existing production lines more efficient without adding additional machines and equipment, ensuring that they maintain their advantages in the highly competitive market.

Equipment failure may lead to high maintenance costs and production interruptions. First General Technology provides Autonics predictive maintenance solutions to help companies improve equipment stability and ensure uninterrupted production. Based on actual application data, through preventive maintenance and real-time monitoring, the goal is to reduce the failure rate of customer equipment to below the industry average of 60%.

  • Equipment health status assessment: Autonics' vibration sensors continuously monitor the vibration spectrum of key parts such as motors and gearboxes, which can predict possible faults such as bearing wear and shaft misalignment in advance; current sensors can analyze motor load changes and detect abnormal energy consumption conditions, such as overload problems caused by belt slippage, allowing maintenance personnel to respond immediately.
  • Equipment self-diagnosis function: The sensor regularly generates equipment health reports, replaces worn parts in advance, reduces sudden failures, and ensures stable operation of the production line.
  • Maintenance strategy optimization: Through the analysis of historical sensor data, establish equipment life model and formulate accurate maintenance plan. For example, when the AI system detects that the lubricant may reach a critical point within two weeks, the system can automatically issue maintenance reminders to ensure smooth operation of the machinery and extend the service life of the equipment.
  • Remote monitoring platform: Monitor abnormal conditions through IoT data and send maintenance alerts in advance to reduce the risk of unplanned downtime and improve equipment availability.

First General Technology provides 24-hour technical support and combines Autonics' original resources to establish a complete rapid response mechanism, shortening the equipment repair time (MTTR) to 4 hours to ensure stable production operation.

Quality control is a key step in the production process. Autonics provides high-performance visual inspection systems to improve product yield.

  • Fiber optic sensors: used for wafer inspection to improve the accuracy of semiconductor manufacturing.
  • Photoelectric sensors: Improve the stability of automotive welding, spraying and other processes.
  • Image analysis system: improves the accuracy of defect detection in food and 3C electronic products.

In an industrial automation environment, the challenge of system integration comes not only from the compatibility between different devices, but also requires efficient data management and intelligent decision-making. Autonics products are highly compatible and can be seamlessly connected to various industrial control equipment. They can also improve the accuracy of production decisions through intelligent data analysis.

Autonics sensors and control systems can be seamlessly integrated with MES (Manufacturing Execution System) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System), allowing companies to grasp complete production data and further optimize the decision-making process.

Real-time data upload: Sensor data is transmitted to the MES system in real time to generate a production efficiency heat map, helping companies quickly identify production line bottlenecks and find inefficient links.

AI intelligent analysis: Through AI algorithms, historical data is analyzed to automatically recommend the best equipment parameter combination. For example, in a plastic injection molding production line, the system can dynamically adjust the injection temperature and pressure according to the characteristics of different batches of raw materials to ensure the stability and consistency of each product.

In the production process, energy management is a major challenge. How to reduce energy consumption and optimize equipment efficiency is an issue of concern to many companies. Autonics helps companies identify high-energy-consuming equipment and achieve optimal management through intelligent sensing and data analysis.

Power sensors monitor energy consumption: The system can monitor energy consumption in each link of the production line (such as air compressors, cooling towers, etc.), identify abnormal energy consumption points, and avoid unnecessary energy waste.

Intelligent energy-saving control: Combined with the Autonics energy management system, the equipment can adjust its operating mode according to actual production needs. For example, a factory optimized production power scheduling through this system and successfully reduced power consumption per unit product by 18%, which not only saved costs but also met the needs of environmental protection and sustainable development.

In addition to data integration and energy-saving management, Autonics products also have extremely high flexibility in system compatibility, allowing enterprises to easily expand automation applications.
