GPS and standardization. (1986)

Alternating frames with industrial products.

Industrial production equipment.

Definition of a flexible industrial system (GPS).

A CNC machine.

Industrial robots.

Automated transport system.

Assembly of products on an automated line.

Using GPS at the factory, we were able to master a new car model every year.

Installation of engines on Lada 8 and 13 models.

Lada cars at the test site.

Automated production, where there is no staff.

VC, the operator behind the computer display.

The head of the automated section works at the computer.

Subjective management gives way to engineering analysis.

Automated storage facilities.

The robocar transports the product according to the instructions of the computer at the Krasny Proletariy factory.

The equipment is brought to a certain point of the technological process.

Remotes and equipment that is controlled and controlled by this remote.

The robot transports the parts for further processing.

In the new system, warehouse and equipment, transport and robots, design and management systems are connected into a single whole.

Standardization gathers all these elements into a single system.

Standardization of technical requirements, input and output signals, communication languages, technical level indicators.

In order for the robot to accurately take the desired workpiece from the storage, carefully transfer it, orient it in space and install it in the machine spindles, all elements of the production system must communicate in the same language, have standard connection dimensions corresponding to each other in the main mating parameters.

Automatic holder for processing tools.

Standardization establishes the technical characteristics of the modules, requiring, for example, that the module contain an automatic change of workpieces and tools, an automated process control system and control over the correctness of processing.

Drilling machine.

After finishing the production of parts of one nomenclature, the complex switches to the production of the next.

The manufactured parts are transported by the robot to the next operation or to the warehouse.

Each product should fit seamlessly into a standardized world.

This is helped by unification, rational restriction of excessive diversity.

In the process of designing and technological preparation of production, the availability of tools and standard changeable technological equipment is taken into account.

Programmers are working on the design of GPS.

Graph builder.

Designers design using special programs.

Using the available standard design and technological solutions, the system designs, calculates, draws, taking into account the capabilities of a particular production, and issues documentation at a speed inaccessible to the most experienced draftsman.

Modern computer technology, working in dialogue with the designer, changes our understanding of documentation, transferring it directly to production.

From car to car or with the help of a data carrier on which the technological process of the equipment is recorded.

More than half of machine-building products are produced today in small batches.

Flexible technology gives small-scale production the best features of mass production, continuity, rhythm, high tempo.

The widespread use of robots raises GPS to a fundamentally new level.

Robots at welding works.

A workshop at a metalworking plant, where robots and manipulators perform all the work.

Robots created at the AvtoVAZ plant work on technological lines.

Reprogrammable machines have been installed on operations where people previously worked or rigid automatic lines operated.

If a new model is launched tomorrow, it will not require a production stop.

Robots work on the assembly line of car bodies.

Flexibility provides for interchangeability and rapid change of production programs, technological processes and equipment in the production of a wide range of products.

Standardization, not only national, but also international, makes it possible to integrate domestic and high-performance imported equipment into a flexible system.
