To reduce costs and increase efficiency, exhibitors of Uniceramics Expo 2022 bring smarter and more efficient solutions...
From automatic material mixing, automatic packaging to intelligent kiln, intelligent detection, intelligent storage......
automation, digitization and intelligentization are changing the shape of China's ceramics industry.
At present, the entire Chinese ceramic industry is undergoing transformation and upgrading. It needs to rely on the
digital and intelligent construction of the entire industrial chain to get rid of the dependence on high energy consumption,
high emission and low efficiency and fundamentally reduce costs and increase efficiency. This is also a very rare
development opportunity for global ceramics equipment companies.
Shouldering the mission of the industry, Uniceramics Expo 2022 sets up a digitization and intelligentization area to display
the latest digital and intelligent achievement in the process of production, operation and maintenance, testing and logistics.
From 16 to 20 November, global practitioners are welcomed to gather at Uniceramics Expo and discuss and exchange ideas
on digital and intelligent solutions in the ceramics industry.
Intelligent Kiln
Greater Capacity, Less Energy Consumption
In the ceramics industry, kiln has always been consuming a great number of energy. With the development of digitization
and intelligentization technology, nowadays, ceramics kiln can realize the intelligent control of temperature curve, kiln
pressure, speed and other parameters, intelligently allocate unit energy consumption, reduce carbon emissions, and even
achieve “the greater the production capacity, the less energy consumption”. For example, the 4.0 energy efficiency
benchmark double-deck roller kiln jointly built by DLT and NEWPEARL Group, with a length of 415.8 meters, is longer than
a standard runway and is currently the longest double-deck kiln in the world. At the same time, the kiln is applicable to slabs
with different thicknesses and different specifications whose daily production capacity can reach 20,000m²/day, more than
three times of the pre-transformation but carbon dioxide emissions are expected to reduce 14.64 tons/day, reducing carbon
dioxide emissions by 3,000 tons per year with a comprehensive energy saving of 10%. At Uniceramics Expo 2022, DLT will
display more advanced and popular professional equipment in the current industry to empower the new model of intelligent
low-carbon production.
Automatic Packaging
Save Manpower, Improve Efficiency
Palletizing has always been a technical problem for ceramics packaging lines. Manually placing wooden pallets for bundling
is not only dangerous, but also in of low efficiency. There has been no mature solution in the industry in the past. This year,
LANKE’s third-generation mobile automatic stacking system has been successfully put into production. After several iterations,
the system has become more mature and efficient, and now the post-packing process is completely intelligent and unmanned.
Moreover, LANKE also launched the ultra-high-speed small slab packing machine which is urgently needed in the industry.
This packing machine can be controlled remotely, and the packing speed can reach 13-15 boxes per minute. Let's look forward
to seeing it at Uniceramics Expo 2022.
Intelligent Inspection
Improve Detection Efficiency, Reduce Errors
The traditional inspection process in the ceramics industry is usually done by human operators, which is low efficient with
a relatively high recognition error rate. In response to these pain points, PIQS and other companies have provided 5G intelligent
visual inspection solutions for the industry, including tile flatness detectors, tile defect detectors, slab defect detectors and tile
color difference graded detectors, which have covered every process of ceramics production, avoiding manual errors, reducing
labor costs, and improving production efficiency.
Digital Operation Platform
Promote Digital Transformation, Reduce Costs and Increase Efficiency
To truly realize a smart factory in the ceramics industry, it is inseparable from a perfect digital operation platform. The process
industry Internet platform developed by POI-TECH, through data collection, data application, and data intelligentization,
can help ceramics enterprises to solve the pain points such as non-transparent production management, inadequate production
execution, and low collaboration efficiency. It is estimated that the platform can help ceramics enterprises to increase the pass
rate of slurry quality inspection and powder quality inspection by about 10% and 5% respectively, while decrease the
equipment failure rate and empty kiln rate by about 5% and 0.7%, which truly realizes quality improvement, cost reduction and
efficiency increase. This year, POI-TECH will also exhibit at Uniceramics Expo, welcome to visit and share your opinions.
Intelligent Storage/Tile Body Storage after Firing
Lean and Efficient, Improve Storage Utilization
In the past, ceramics factories gave people the impression that the warehouse was chaotic and products were piled
everywhere, and problems such as broken, out of stock, and backlog occurred frequently. With the advent of digitization
and intelligentization, intelligent tile body (after firing) storage system and intelligent storage system have been used
widely, which not only replaces a large number of manual operations, reduces costs, saves space, but also realizes intelligent
functions such as free entry and exit of materials and source traceability. During this year’s Uniceramics Expo, KEDA, SAPFIT,
DOMEC and other companies will showcase the latest solutions such as intelligent warehousing and tile body (after firing)
storage. Welcome to visit and share your opinions.
In addition to the above digital and intelligent solutions, there are more new products, new technologies and new applications
will be displayed at Uniceramics Expo. Sign up now For more information!
From 16 to 20, November, see you in Foshan, China!
