At present, manufacturing owners promote the concept of industry 4.0 and made in China 2025, and sheet metal processing industry should also conform to the trend of industrial revolution. In addition, all manufacturing industries are implementing automation. Now the world is at the peak of network development, so the demand for electrical and electronic products is also rising rapidly. The whole industry is on the rise, but it will not decline in the short term. This is an opportunity for the whole sheet metal industry, but at present, China's sheet metal processing capacity is insufficient, Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the whole electrical and electronic sheet metal processing industry in order to achieve a qualitative leap. Combined with the current experience and future development direction of Weiguan company, taking low-voltage outdoor distribution cabinet as an example, the future development trend is summarized

(1) System operation.

The whole system replaces the existing single system or electronic form management mode, and adopts electronic management for drawing expansion, production plan release, material demand calculation, material procurement, warehousing, accounts receivable tracking, etc. After getting the customer's order or having an accurate forecast, the system generates the order, calculates the material demand, and gives it to the purchasing department for purchasing. The system automatically controls the price cycle of materials to realize cost control and material delivery control. All sheet metal drawings are automatically expanded by software to achieve reasonable layout and cost. The supplier's incoming materials are sent in and out of the warehouse by the system, which is clear at a glance. The system can directly see the material in and out of the warehouse and the purchase progress of each order. In the production process of products, the system controls the process and the expected processing cycle, and accurately judges the completion time of finished products and the turnover rate of machines and personnel; Delivery time and collection are controlled by the system, and any authorized person can sign, transfer and adjust network or mobile terminal applications through the system.

(2) Modular operation.

The fixed drawings of door panel, bracket, side panel, top cover and internal connector are defined as standard parts, and the database of standard parts is established; End users and designers can choose the products they want in the database, and then develop them in two ways to form the building blocks in the form of building blocks, plus the parts of non-standard parts to complete the whole machine. For example, if a customer wants to develop a new low-voltage distribution board, he can directly call the existing drawings and lists in the database, and add some non-standard design components, which can be generated directly. New drawings and BOM; Modular operation can save development cost and shorten product development time. Standardized product manufacturing cost will be very low and processing cycle will be short.

(3) Visualization.

All orders, delivery dates and completion status can be visually managed. From the order demand of the distribution cabinet, every operation of the order is clear at a glance. Only with the help of the operation mode of system + network, can the visual operation be realized; In the system, manufacturers and users can see the development status, production information, output status and delivery status of finished and semi-finished products of distribution cabinet. Customers can clearly know the status of their orders in the manufacturer, so as to avoid other problems caused by poor communication.
