In modern industrial production, standardized equipment can hardly meet the special needs of all enterprises. Therefore, non-standard automation design process came into being. It meets the requirements of specific production links or products through customized design. Non-standard automation equipment can not only improve production efficiency and product quality, but also reduce labor costs and safety hazards. This article will discuss in detail the various steps of non-standard automation design process and its importance in industry.

　　1. Demand Analysis and Research

　　The first step of non-standard automation design process is demand analysis and research. This step is crucial because it determines the direction and goal of the entire design plan.

　　1. Customer communication: In-depth communication with customers to understand their production process, product characteristics and specific needs, and clarify the design goals and requirements of the project.

　　2. On-site investigation: On-site inspection of the customer's production site, understand the operation of existing equipment and process flow, and identify the links that need to be improved or automated.

　　3. Data collection: Collect production data and technical parameters, such as production speed, precision requirements, working environment, etc., to provide a basis for subsequent design.

　　2. Scheme design and demonstration

　　On the basis of fully understanding customer needs and production sites, enter the scheme design and demonstration stage. The core of this step is to propose multiple design plans and conduct feasibility analysis and demonstration.

　　1. Preliminary design: According to the results of demand analysis, design a preliminary automation plan, including equipment layout, process flow and control system.

　　2. Scheme demonstration: Conduct technical demonstration and feasibility analysis on the preliminary design plan, evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each plan, and select the best plan.

　　3. Cost estimation: Cost estimation of the selected plan, including equipment manufacturing, installation and commissioning, and maintenance costs, to ensure that the plan is economically feasible.

　　III. Detailed design and drawing drawing

　　After determining the final plan, enter the detailed design and drawing drawing stage. The purpose of this step is to concretize the design plan and form complete design drawings and technical documents.

　　1. Mechanical design: Detailed design of the structure and size of each mechanical component, drawing mechanical parts drawings and assembly drawings, to ensure that the mechanical part of the equipment meets the design requirements.

　　2. Electrical design: Design electrical control system, including electrical schematics, wiring diagrams and control programs, to ensure that the electrical part of the equipment is safe and reliable.

　　3. Drawing review: Review all design drawings to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the drawings and avoid design errors and omissions.

　　4. Manufacturing and Processing

　　After the detailed design is completed, the manufacturing and processing stage will begin. The purpose of this step is to convert the design drawings into actual equipment and parts.

　　1. Parts processing: Process each mechanical part according to the design drawings to ensure that the size and accuracy of the parts meet the design requirements.

　　2. Equipment manufacturing: Assemble each part, manufacture complete automation equipment, and conduct preliminary debugging to ensure the normal operation of the mechanical and electrical parts of the equipment.

　　3. Quality control: Strict quality control of the processing and manufacturing process to ensure that the quality of each part and equipment meets the design standards.

　　5. Installation and debugging

　　After the equipment is manufactured, the installation and debugging stage will begin. The purpose of this step is to install the equipment at the production site and conduct comprehensive debugging to ensure that the equipment can operate normally.

　　1. Equipment installation: Transport the equipment to the customer's production site and install it according to the design requirements to ensure that the layout and connection of the equipment meet the design plan.

　　2. System debugging: Comprehensively debug the equipment, including the operation of the mechanical part, the control of the electrical part, and the testing of the production process to ensure the stability and reliability of the equipment in actual production.

　　3. Functional verification: Perform functional verification tests to ensure that the functions of the equipment meet the design requirements and achieve the expected production results.

　　Sixth, training and delivery

　　After the equipment is debugged and passes the functional verification, it enters the training and delivery stage. The purpose of this step is to ensure that the customer can use and maintain the equipment correctly, and formally deliver the equipment to the customer for use.

　　1. Operation training: Train the customer's operators, explain the operation methods and precautions of the equipment, and ensure that the operators can use the equipment correctly.

　　2. Maintenance training: Train the customer's maintenance personnel, explain the daily maintenance and maintenance methods of the equipment, and ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

　　3. Equipment delivery: After all training is completed, the equipment is officially delivered to the customer, and the equipment delivery agreement is signed to ensure the smooth completion of the project.

　　VII. After-sales service and support

　　After the equipment is delivered, it enters the after-sales service and support stage. The purpose of this step is to provide customers with continuous technical support and services to ensure the stability and reliability of the equipment during use.

　　1. Technical support: Provide technical support and consulting services to answer questions encountered by customers during the use of the equipment.

　　2. Regular maintenance: Provide regular maintenance services to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and extend the service life of the equipment.

　　3. Fault handling: Quickly respond to customers' fault repair requests, troubleshoot and repair in a timely manner, and ensure the continuity of production.

　　In summary, the non-standard automation design process provides enterprises with efficient, accurate and flexible production solutions through systematic and customized design methods. It not only improves production efficiency and product quality, but also reduces costs and safety risks. In the future, with the continuous advancement of science and technology and the deepening of its application, non-standard automation design will play an important role in more fields and promote industrial production towards intelligence and efficiency.
