Sensorsplay a critical role in automated production lines, enabling intelligent, efficient, and safe production processes through functions such as monitoring, detection, safety protection, positioning navigation, quality control, energy optimization, etc.

• Monitoring and Detection: Sensors monitor various parameters and states on the production line, such as temperature, pressure, humidity, speed, position, etc. They can detect equipment and workpiece statuses in real-time and transmit data to the control system for real-time monitoring and control of the production process.

• Safety Protection: Sensors are used to monitor the safety status on the production line, such as detecting whether equipment is operating normally or if there are any hazardous objects or personnel entering restricted areas. They can trigger alarms or emergency shutdown devices to ensure the safety of operators and equipment.

• Positioning and Navigation: Sensors can be used for positioning and navigation of automated equipment, such as AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) or robotic arms. By perceiving information about the surrounding environment, sensors assist in accurately positioning and navigating equipment, enabling automated transportation and handling tasks.

• Quality Control: Sensors can detect characteristics of workpieces such as dimensions, shapes, surface quality, etc., for online inspection and control of product quality. They can promptly identify product defects or undesirable features and take appropriate measures to ensure products meet quality standards.

• Energy Saving and Optimization: Sensors monitor energy consumption and efficiency of equipment and processes, assisting in optimizing the production process to maximize energy saving and resource utilization. By monitoring energy consumption and production efficiency, equipment parameters and process flows can be adjusted in a timely manner to improve the efficiency and economics of the production line.
