Do you think our factory is really an intelligent factory now?

Since the slogans of "Made in China 2025" and "Industry 4.0" have been shouted out, a wave of future factories and intelligent factories has swept across China and even the world. In the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, a batch of high-end manufacturing enterprises has emerged, along with a number of factories claiming to have achieved "intelligence."But are these so-called "intelligent" factories really intelligent?

As shown in the above image, the vast majority of factories shouting "intelligent" still rely on human labor to use electric screwdrivers for tightening products. Can this be called "intelligent"?

In my view, intelligence should involve system monitoring for screw tightening. People can get tired, and the more tired they are, the more likely they are to make mistakes. Once mistakes occur, mis-tightening and missing screws become frequent phenomena. Can such a production line be called "intelligent"?

Moreover, the force applied by such screwdrivers is entirely dependent on human operation. It's fine for experienced workers, but what about beginners? It's not so easy for beginners; if they apply too much force, it can cause irreparable damage to some precision products.

If such a production line exists in a factory, and the factory still calls itself an intelligent factory, it is misleading. Pursuing unnecessary intelligence for the sake of a name is not worth it!

In my view, an intelligent screwdriver should achieve the following points!
1. Break free from human constraints and be operated entirely by robots.
2. Perfect data recording, timely feedback, facilitating analysis and improvement by researchers.
3. Precise tightening, controlling the error to the minimum extent.
4. Timely alarms for mis-tightening and missing screws, facilitating inspection.

There are even other points, but I believe these are several necessary procedures for intelligent screw tightening in current factories! The above image is a good example, where a six-axis robot is equipped with a Sensewee intelligent screwdriver. Through the flexible movement of the robot, it can move to the position that needs tightening, and then use the controller of the Sensewee intelligent screwdriver to set the torque, tightening each screw according to the set torque. If mis-tightening or missing screws occur, an alarm will be triggered immediately to remind staff to check and debug. Moreover, every piece of data is recorded in the system for future inspection.

In my opinion, this is intelligence, but it is not complete intelligence!

What does complete intelligence look like? A Sensewee intelligent screwdriver that can automatically analyze data, self-adjust, and provide automatic feedback on analyzed data is what constitutes thorough intelligence.

But as it stands, the level of intelligence that screwdrivers can achieve is only at the level of the Sensewee intelligent screwdriver.

However, many factories actually want to achieve intelligence, but due to limitations in funding and costs, these factories have to succumb to reality.

At this stage, we still have to rely on human labor, after all, costs are a factor. However, issues like mis-tightening and missing screws need to be resolved promptly, and tightening precision also needs to be controlled within a certain range.

In the face of this dilemma, the Sensewee handheld intelligent screwdriver can solve the problem.

It's still the same formula, still the same feeling. The difference is that it uses a model that is easy for human operation and has made more adjustments, allowing people to easily tighten every screw!
