From black technology to super engineering

Chapter 118 Factory Manager Ita Goes Online
The warehouse is a bit far from the office building, so Ye Ming, Qi and Mo simply rode a shared bicycle to go there.

On the way, Ye Ming gave Qi and Mo a brief introduction of the work to be done next.

"To put it simply, we used the robotic arm designed by the company to fabricate a simple assembly line workshop, and the warehouse is a sample for customers to show."

Qi and Mo's bicycle riding skills are very smooth. She can hold the faucet with one hand and adjust the mask with the other. She can also look at Ye Ming by the way: "Did you design it?"

"Hey... It's almost the same if you understand it this way."

"...Then how many shares do you have in the company?"

"Eh... I originally had dry shares, but I invested another one million in the technology shares I gave." Ye Ming became a little resentful as he spoke—a week ago, the school officially held a commendation meeting, and a one million dollar The check for the scientific research bonus was made into a big sign, which he held up for a long time.

As a result, he really didn't even take a look at the million dollars...

Fortunately, Old Tang showed him the small book. Now, his shares are close to 25%, which is about the same as that of Old Chen.

"About 25%."

"Tsk tsk, boss, please take care of me in the future."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

The two chatted, and soon arrived at the warehouse.

……

"Ye Ming, Xiao Mo is here too."

Liu Hong, a doctoral student under Professor Chen, was in charge of the assembly here. Seeing the two of them enter the door, he quickly stood up from behind his desk and greeted them.

The warehouse is quite large, covering more than two hundred square meters. In addition to the robot arm platform, there are several decoration workers on the right hand side after entering the door, busy finishing work on a glass office.

At this time, Liu Hong was sitting outside the office with a few people, debugging the code.

"Brother, what do you say?"

Ye Ming glanced at Liu Hong's notebook, and then walked to the position of the robotic arm.

There are a total of four robotic arms here, ranging from four to six axes. Through program control, they can perfectly simulate almost all industrial needs that require robotic arms.

These robotic arms are naturally designed on the basis of Ye Ming's robotic arm. Counting the midway improvements, this is already the second generation product.

Of course, they are not produced by a factory of Jizhi Technology, but after the design is completed, the drawings are drawn and found by an OEM, and finally assembled.

"Is it the single task debugging or the process?"

"No, it's because the anti-interference ability is poor, and the stability of the whole system is not as strong as we expected." Liu Hong put his hands on his waist and frowned deeply as he watched the stopped mechanical arm: "This should be our strong point. It won't fail the rigorous test."

As he said that, Liu Hong smiled again: "Although it is okay to fool ordinary customers, it is said that among the people who came from Changgong today, there is one who understands robot systems very well, and is very picky, so he can't be fooled. Besides...to fool people, It's not our boss's character either."

Ye Ming smiled and nodded: "Indeed, let's go, let's take a look first."

As the system was turned on, the four mechanical arms immediately entered the working state, and the assembly line in the middle also started to move.

A graduate student put a TV material board on the assembly line. After starting up, the first robotic arm was automatically aligned and started to operate.

A few seconds later, as the assembly line was completed, the tasks of the four robotic arms were also completed.

And it's still complete.

"This can be regarded as a standard process demonstration. The ordinary intelligent workshops and the previous assembly line workshops actually do the same. The mechanical arms and workers cooperate with each other, with a high degree of tension and a high degree of cooperation."

Ye Ming nodded: "The artificial assembly line and the mechanical arm actually complement each other. The worker eliminates accidents for the mechanical arm, and the mechanical arm leaves room for the worker."

Liu Hong looked at him: "So after the unmanned factory is realized, all accidents must be borne and resolved by the entire production system. For one component, the process still has to be completed, and if the board itself on the assembly line is not standardized, it is easy to have problems. For example..."

Watching Liu Hong's demonstration, Ye Mingxin said that the nitpicker is probably not someone else, but you...

How can there be an operation of punching the motherboard of the assembly line directly when it comes up, and it's not like an earthquake.

However, he didn't deal with Liu Hong for a day or two, and he knew that Liu Hong was really dedicated and meticulous in his work, otherwise he wouldn't be in charge of doing this.

After thinking about it, Ye Ming opened the source code, and planned to add a few more ifs according to Liu Hong's request.

Otherwise, what else could he do?
This set of pipeline control software was written by him-in fact, it was written by Ita.

But Liu Hong and the others are responsible for the stability later on.

Now it's time to take him out for a walk, Liu Hong and the others can't handle the speed, so they have to take him as a quick shooter.

So throughout the morning, Ye Ming discussed with Qi and Mo while writing code, while Liu Hong and the others racked their brains to simulate all kinds of weird scenes.

Time flies, and it is three o'clock in the afternoon in a blink of an eye.

……

"Hurry up, clean up the warehouse, the customer will come right away."

After Ye Ming and the others had been busy all morning, even eating lunch in front of the computer, Liu Hong finally mentioned all the assembly line failures and test standards that could be collected.

Naturally, Ye Ming solved everything here.

Hearing the call from Yang Chaoxiong, Ye Ming, who had just relaxed and wanted to squint for a while, suddenly cheered up!
He is also the boss!
So he hurriedly asked Shangqi, Mo, Liu Hong and others to remove the decoration garbage that had been thrown at the warehouse door before, and if it was really difficult to deal with, he used a cardboard to cover up his ugliness.

A quarter past three, as a BMW [-] Series and a Lexus slowly approached the warehouse, it also meant that this old Tang had been running business for more than half a year, and it was finally time to see the truth.

Old Tang took Yang Chaoxiong and Qu Hui and led the three people out of the two cars respectively. When they came to Ye Ming who was standing behind the crowd, Old Tang asked without leaving a trace.

Ye Ming naturally smiled and nodded.

As Lao Tang walked, he introduced for the customer behind him: "Several bosses, the robotic arm here is the product of our three iterations, ranging from four to six axes."

"Because of the space, we can only show a simple assembly line operation process, but through the settings of different environments, we can also meet all testing requirements."

Listening to Old Tang's introduction, Ye Ming also secretly looked at a tall, thin man in his thirties with glasses.

Yang Chaoxiong has already secretly told him that this is the very aggressive engineer, and it is said that he is the person in charge of the intelligent manufacturing that Changgong will soon establish.

And this time Changgong did not find its own technology for the expansion of the factory, mainly because it had to catch up with the window dividends of acceptance and policies.

Knowing this, Ye Ming can understand why this person is so picky.

If it were him, he would be picky.

"Professor Tang, how about we take a look?"

Although a workshop director came, it can be seen that the man is the expert and the main force of this trip. After hearing Lao Tang's introduction, he was noncommittal, but smiled slightly: "I will know after reading."

Professor Tang nodded with a smile: "Well, Liu Hong, show Zhang Gong a demonstration."

"Okay." Liu Hong nodded, took a breath, and started the demonstration process directly.

Watching the material board move slowly on the conveyor belt, the first spot welding robot quickly carried out the welding operation at the set welding spot position.

This Zhang Gong stared at the material board intently, and when the welding was finished, he picked up the material board directly from the assembly line.

Everyone was dumbfounded!

Fuck, is there such an operation?

Liu Hong and Ye Ming didn't panic at all.

The two even looked at each other.

Because the assembly line stopped immediately, and the system also gave a reminder.

Ye Ming noticed that Mr. Zhang had a flash of surprise in his eyes, and began to carefully examine the welding position.

The other two also joined in.

"Professor Tang, are these robots designed by you?" Mr. Zhang put the material board back on after seeing the nearly perfect solder joints.

Few people noticed that the sheet changed direction.

"Yes." Professor Tang nodded with a smile, but he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed that this guy went too far: "The accuracy and operability are benchmarked against international products."

"Then you have to pass the age test, and the aging test alone is not enough." Mr. Zhang shook his head: "I'm not saying that domestic products are not good, but that this kind of equipment can be installed 24 hours a day or even all year round. In the workshop, the only thing that can test the stability is time.”

Professor Tang smiled and didn't agree.

How did he go along with it?It means that the new factory has no human rights.

"Huh? Why did it stop again?"

During the chat, I saw that the assembly line stopped again, indicating that the positions did not match.

Professor Tang was slightly taken aback, and he subconsciously looked at Ye Ming.

"Oh, I forgot that the material board has lost its direction just now." Zhang Gong smiled: "I thought you used two visual positioning, but it doesn't seem to be the case."

Professor Tang frowned slightly, then glanced at the workshop director next to Mr. Tang, and smiled after a while: "Mr. Zhang, in the real workshop, there is no saying that the board suddenly disappears while walking, and then returns to the assembly line. Would you like to drop a bit?"

"Well, there is indeed no such thing in reality, but if there is a power outage, or a transmission failure, or a problem in a certain part of the system, the entire assembly line system will be in a state of collapse."

Professor Tang is very self-restraining: "That should be considered a production accident, and the technicians should intervene manually, right?"

"Smart workshops should be handled automatically by AI." Tang Gong smiled and pointed to Liu Hong's notebook: "Looking at your MES software, it seems to be biased towards traditional logical judgments..."

"Let me tell you, please don't be angry. Now the country's standards for smart workshops are becoming more and more strict. It is the general trend to use AI. It is more likely to pass the acceptance with AI." Tang Gong said and paused: "You say yes no?"

The two who came with him smiled and nodded in agreement.

But Jizhi Technology...doesn't know how to answer.Even Professor Tang looked a little displeased.

A broken assembly line, plus AI?

Are you going to engage in Jarvis and make Mark 2? (iron Man)

Professor Tang glanced at the workshop director again, and frowned deeply.Even if you can't reach an agreement, you don't do it like this.Picking bones in eggs is a bit too much.

Then, everyone heard a very calm "yes".

Zhang Gong turned his head and saw a young man in his 20s, who looked like an undergraduate student, nodding slightly towards him.

Oh?
"Mr. Zhang is right. AI, especially the AI ​​that can deal with a variety of emergencies, or even all accidents, is indeed the future development of smart factories, unmanned factories, submarine factories, desert factories, and even space factories. direction."

With a smile on the corner of Ye Ming's mouth, he fully affirmed what Zhang Gong said.

Zhang Gong glanced at Ye Ming with interest: "Then what are you guys doing?"

"Good technology needs to have good customers to show it. We didn't expect to meet such a profound visionary customer as Mr. Zhang."

There is a little thorn in Ye Ming's words.

But Mr. Zhang smiled slightly after hearing this: "And then?"

"Then...we have an AI control system here that is not very mature, but can meet Zhang Gong's requirements. If Zhang Gong is interested, we can demonstrate it."

"Oh? Haha. There are alternatives? Then we have to take a look." Zhang Gong laughed, but his eyes showed complete disbelief.

There are AIs that are not listed on AI, and AI is not introduced. This is not the style of a technology company at all.

"Well, wait a moment." Ye Ming said and walked to the glass office behind.

Qi and Mo subconsciously wanted to follow him, but Ye Ming pulled him back: "Xiaoqi, you can cooperate here, and I can do it alone over there. Teacher, you can also help me to take a look here."

"Oh well."

Professor Tang quickly put away his astonishment, and then nodded with a smile.

While walking, Ye Ming took out his mobile phone and walked to the glass office more than ten meters away.

……

After returning to the office, Ye Ming stuffed the sensors into his ears.

"Ita."

"exist."

"Didn't you always want to be the factory manager? Here's your chance."

"receive."

"It's very simple, complete the established assembly line production tasks."

"That's not a challenge, is it? How big is the assembly line?"

"You'll know right away."

During the communication with Ita, Ye Ming also used the phone to dial Qi and Mo's mobile phone, and asked her to call Liu Hong's control system to go offline, and he would be in charge.

Qi and Mo's voice came from the phone: "It's offline, do you want to help?"

Ye Ming smiled and refused: "No, you come here to affect my AI performance."

After saying this, he heard a burst of laughter from the phone.

Apparently, Paint & Ink opened for hands-free.

After connecting to the controller, Ye Ming exhaled softly, and said softly in his mind: "Go online."

"Factory Director Ita is online."

"Match the activity."

The four robotic arms complete several test actions at the same time: "Matching complete."

"Come on, perform an extreme move."

"you said."

As Ita's voice fell, Ye Ming saw through the glass that the six-axis robotic arm stretched towards the material board stopped on the conveyor belt without warning.

Then the jaws at the front of it opened, gripping a corner of the sheet with lightning speed.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the material board was picked up by the mechanical arm, and then thrown up.

In the next second, another six-axis robotic arm opened its jaws in the air.

Hold on tight!

"Fuck!"

On the phone, Paint and Ink was the loudest.
