Summary On Smart Manufacturing Projects
 

Main Technologies

The team's technology upgrading plan and corresponding maturity diagnosis, technology upgrading consultation and technical training. They are based on more than 200 Smart Manufacturing projects completed by members in the past years, based on engineering modeling, machine learning and intelligent system architecture development (scenario application cases, etc.). Various intelligent systems and models at home and abroad completed by team leaders and members. Seven main technologies have been formed:

• US certification, Level 2 technology
• US certification, online application technology
• The new generation of Level 2 technology, that is, the combination of microstructure model, intelligent self-study and continuous upgrading technology with traditional Level 2
• Defect early warning system ，that is to predict whether the product will be genuine or defective in the future before it is produced; If it will be a defective product, it will give an alarm in the production process and take measures to make it a genuine product
• More than 100 sets of models made of steel and high-end materials (three groups)
• More than 100 sets of emerging industry models such as lithium battery Smart Manufacturing (including cell material manufacturing and cell manufacturing)
• More than 100 sets of Smart Manufacturing training courseware (PPT, etc.)

The project cases based on these main technologies are displayed in this part; The main products thus formed can be seen in the company guide.
 

Projects Developed By the Team Leader

Various Smart Manufacturing projects developed by team leader Benjamin Li (Li Bing ji) are shown in Table 1.

Table 1: various projects completed by Dr. Li himself (120)

Among those, the key projects is showed in the following Picture 1:

A Project jointly Developed By Metal Pass USA Colleagues

As the leader of Metal Pass LLC, Benjamin Li led the team to complete a large number of Smart Manufacturing related projects. The projects completed by the Metal Pass US team around the world are shown in the Table 2 below (including the projects completed by team members before joining Metal Pass).

Projects Developed In Emerging Industries In Recent Years

In recent years, while developing various projects of Shenzhen BYD (there are three lithium battery related contracts; at the same time, as a supplier of electric vehicle / lithium battery and cloud Rail Technology), as a consultant, he also participated in the technical development of various projects in the figure below. The team was also invited to give a special lecture on the defect early warning system based on lithium battery for Shenzhen quality month (Lecture in the afternoon and dinner with people from all walks of life in the evening). During this period, he also participated in the development of equipment intelligent system and other projects of AMER Group (the world's top 500) and other enterprises.

PPTs to Describe the Projects

Dozens sets of PPTs has been created to describe the onsite projects. From the project list, the developed key projects can be demonstrated. Main business resources of Metal Pass team come from the Smart Manufacturing projects completed in Europe, America and Asia in the past 30 years (at the industrial 4.0 level).

Overview Of Business Resources

The main business resources of Metal Pass team come from the Smart Manufacturing projects completed in Europe, America and Asia in the past 30 years (at the industrial 4.0 level, including engineering modeling, machine learning and various scenario application cases constituting intelligent systems, etc.); The team members have German engineering doctor and American software doctor, and have worked in manufacturing factories for 30 years! Relevant resources, such as:

• More than 200 cases of Smart Manufacturing projects completed in Europe, America and Asia

• More than 100 sets of models related to high-end material processing, including material processing and molding, material processing force and energy demand, microstructure and mechanical properties of products during processing, etc

• More than 100 sets of models established in new energy and other emerging industries, including slurry mixing, slurry coating, baking, rolling, slitting, winding and volume separation, as well as various customized models involved in the project (such as PI film production), etc

• The development and optimization of six sets of intelligent systems have a large number of source programs optimized by programming languages (such as FORTRAN to C / C + +), models and logic

• More than 1 million pages of technical materials  collected and sorted in libraries around the world

• A large number of scenario application cases
