For example, when the product production equipment completes the processing of a batch of products, the control system will automatically schedule the bagging machine, cartoning machine, boxing machine and other equipment to perform the corresponding packaging operations in sequence.

- Adjust the running speed of the equipment in real time to adapt to the production and packaging requirements of different products. For example, for fragile products, the running speed of the equipment can be appropriately reduced during the conveying and packaging process to reduce the collision and damage of the product.

2. Quality monitoring and feedback

- Receive product quality data from quality inspection equipment in real time, such as dimensional deviation, appearance defects, etc. When quality problems are found, the control system will immediately take measures, such as stopping the operation of related equipment and removing unqualified products, etc., to prevent defective products from entering the next production link.

- According to the statistical analysis of quality data, adjust and optimize the parameters of production and packaging equipment to improve the stability of product quality. For example, if it is found that the product size deviation is large, the control system can adjust the parameters such as the tool position or pressure of the processing equipment.

3. Fault diagnosis and alarm

- Monitor the running status of the equipment in real time. When the equipment fails, it can quickly and accurately diagnose the cause of the failure and notify the operator through display screens, sound and light alarms, etc. For example, when the robot arm fails and cannot grab the product normally, the control system will sound an alarm and display the fault code so that the maintenance personnel can handle it in time.

- Record the equipment's fault history and maintenance records to provide a basis for preventive maintenance of the equipment. By analyzing the fault data, it is possible to predict the time and location of possible equipment failures, arrange maintenance work in advance, and reduce the impact of equipment failures on production.
