1. Towards a New Production Model of Industry 4.0
In order to keep up with the pace of Industry 4.0 and adapt to future development needs, Tongda has chosen to work with ROBOTECH to build a highly automated smart factory.

From the preliminary design to the completion of the construction project, including equipment installation, commissioning and initial operation going smoothly. Using first-class integrated logistics concept, advanced control, bus, communication (wireless, infrared, etc.), it automatically operates in and out-of-warehouse operations controlled by computer, can automatically realize receiving, grouping, Inbound, outbound, picking, inventory maintenance, delivery, inventory statistics and alarms, report generation and other functions.

The WMS/WCS system in the automated warehouse can be networked with Tongda’s original ERP system to update inventory information in real time, so that company leaders can formulate corresponding strategies and plans based on inventory information, and direct, detect and adjust the company’s production activities.

 

2. ROBOTECH Solutions
Due to the limited space, the automated warehouse of the project needs to be located between the two plants, and it needs to meet the logistics needs of the two plants at the same time. It is used to store foreign raw materials, hardware, semi-finished products, and finished products. At the same time, it needs to prepare materials for the production workshops on the 1st to 4th floors of the two production plants.
