電子製造工廠智能化變革的個案研究

Abstract

21世紀最重要的挑戰就是如何由傳統製造業跨入高科技製造業，其中高科技生產大多指向企業導入新技術、新製造方式、新管理技術。本論文基於參與F公司推動的自動化、智能化工廠改造方案的經驗，逐步思考將人與機械的工廠，轉變為腦力+自動化，或再進一步變成雲端智慧+腦力+無人化的高科技工廠的可行性。 F公司係隸屬於集團下、專門製造電子資訊產品金屬機殼的加工廠，本研究基於其由人工操作CNC加工轉變為自動化、智能化工廠所面對的問題與挑戰為研究重心。本研究發現，欲成功推動自動化工廠，應以機械設備及人工智慧為規劃的主軸，將人視為輔助者、維修者或被淘汰者，如此才能有效推動出成功的智能化工廠。同時，這樣的工廠改造，其產出效能及品質提升，將遠遠大於傳統推行自動化工廠的方法。 德國在2014年提出了工業4.0的概念，此工廠的改造雖然仍無法達到工業4.0提出的幾項特點，但它在智慧工廠的推動上，是值得未來智能化世界所借鏡的。

In the 21 century industrial development, one of the most critical challenges is how to migrate from traditional manufacturing into high-tech manufacturing industry. For those pioneers in high-tech production, most of them rely upon the introduction of new technology into production, new manufacturing programs, or improved management technique. However, in German, they set up Industry 4.0 vision after the 4th industrial revolutions. They offer a promising direction to the challenges in the new century. They are using factory for human plus machine，into the intelligent automated factory, even more evolved into cloud plus intelligence and unmanned high-tech manufactory. Based on a case study on a precision metal manufacturing factory, F company, concerning their evolution from traditional manually operated CNC machines, into intelligent automated factory, we made research effort on how they faced with the opportunities and challenges in processes. With this research, we hope to find out how to promote the ideological and the methods into Industry 4.0, and contribute to the intelligent world with society for all industry.
