(II) Automated Production Process
Process Connection
From paper loading to output, conveyor belts and robotic arms link processes. Sensors monitor and adjust for continuity.
Sensor and Control System Synergy
Sensors collect data. The control system (PLC or industrial computer) processes it, controls parameters, and stores data for management and maintenance.

III. Key Factors Affecting Production Efficiency
(I) Mechanical Performance and Design Limitations
Transmission System
Energy loss in transmission due to friction and inertia. Traditional systems have speed limits, affecting efficiency and equipment life.
Mechanical Structure
High-speed causes instability and vibration, reducing component fit, increasing failure rates, and affecting quality and efficiency.
(II) Degree of Automation and Intelligence Level
Traditional Automation
Lacks adaptability to raw material and order changes. Manual adjustments are time-consuming and affect efficiency.
Intelligence Deficiency
Without intelligent algorithms, can't predict failures, adjust to market, or optimize production, leading to losses.
(III) Quality of Raw Materials and Supply Stability
Paper Raw Materials
Differences in paper properties affect forming, bonding, and efficiency, increasing costs and waste.
Supply and Inventory
Paper supply interruption stops production. Unreasonable inventory management impacts plans and efficiency.
(IV) Equipment Maintenance and Fault Handling Efficiency
Maintenance Plan
Some plans have issues. Improper maintenance leads to more failures and lower efficiency.
Fault Diagnosis
Traditional methods rely on experience and simple tools. Complex failures are hard to diagnose quickly, extending downtime.
(V) Skills of Operators and Management Level
Operators
Untrained or inexperienced operators may misoperate, harming efficiency and quality.
Production Management
Poor organization in plans, personnel, and coordination causes process chaos and inefficiency, with communication and feedback problems.

IV. Strategies for Improving Production Efficiency
(I) Mechanical Structure Optimization
New Transmission Systems
Consider synchronous belt or servo motor direct drive. Optimize design for better efficiency and reliability.
Lightweight and Rigid Structures
Use advanced materials and optimize shapes. Analyze with tools to reduce vibration and improve performance.
