System Development Background

Pressemitteilung | Reading time: min | Bildquelle: Mingzhi Technology

Intelligent control of equipment forms the foundation of smart production. Traditional control methods, relying solely on programmable logic controllers (PLC) and human-machine interface (HMI) systems, are limited to basic operational control of core shooting machines and cannot support process data collection and management.

Mingzhi Technology has taken an innovative approve to advance intelligent control for core shooting machines through the development of the Mingzhi Intelligent Core Control System (MiCL V1).  By monitoring and analyzing process data, MiCL V1 achieves intelligent core production control, streamlines and standardizes the production processes, provides operational and management data for various equipment, and enables adaptive controls through interconnected adjustments. This advanced system meets the foundry industry’s increasing demand for digitalization and intelligent solutions.

Mingzhi Program

In a lead up to advance intelligent production control for core shooting machines, Mingzhi Technology invested in extensive research and development of both software and hardware. This effort resulted in the creation of MiCL V1, a system designed to enhance precision and efficiency in core production.

Hardware Features:

  • Industrial computer

  • Fingerprint module

  • User-friendly operation interfaceThese components interact with factory ERP/MES systems and device sensors to collect, calculate, analyze and store process signals and data.

Software Features:
Built on a robust database system, the MiCL V1 software includes the following functional modules:

  • User authorization management

  • Equipment operation

  • Equipment management

  • Process management

  • Remote management

  • Intelligent production

  • Information push

  • Report generation

System Functionality Overview

MiCL V1 delivers eight key functionalities to optimize core production:

  1. Man-Machine Interconnection:
    Provides four user roles—operator, technician, maintainer, and manager—with fingerprint-based login for role-specific authorization and precision control over equipment operation and adjustments.  These user interfaces are depicted here:

2. Equipment Interconnection:

Features core box recognition to automatically import technician-defined process parameters, ensuring production consistency and stability.

3. One-Click Operation:

Guides operators through a process wizard, from startup checks to cleaning and shutdown, enhancing usability and efficiency.

4. Operating Parameter Settings:

Allows adjustments and maintenance of key parameters, including operating conditions, core-making processes, core box usage records, fault logs, and wear part lifespan data, ensuring comprehensive and accurate record-keeping.

5. Intelligent Production Management:

Incorporates advanced controls, such as raw sand temperature regulation, blowing temperature management, and automated curing parameter adjustments, to make production more intelligent and efficient.

6. Remote Control and Maintenance:

Allows maintenance personnel to connect remotely to on-site control systems for troubleshooting, system upgrades, and rapid recovery of equipment functionality.

7. Online Documentation:

Provides easy access to operation guides and maintenance manuals, enabling operators and technicians to quickly reference necessary documentation.

8. Data Management:

Offers ERP/MES data interfaces with reporting and analytics features for personnel login data, operation times, production output, energy consumption, fault diagnostics, and process parameters. Managers can receive text message updates on production shifts for enhanced oversight.


Conclusion

The Mingzhi Intelligent Core Control System (MiCL V1) successfully integrates man-machine interconnection and data processing, significantly improving the precision, efficiency, and environmental compatibility of core production equipment. This system leads the industry toward environmentally friendly, high-efficiency, and intelligent production, providing clients with superior solutions for transitioning and upgrading their core production processes.

Looking ahead, Mingzhi Technology plans to enhance the system with adaptive adjustment and control capabilities across various working environments, paving the way for MiCL V2 and the full realization of artificial intelligence-driven production control.
