Fully automatic plating production line (automatic plating machine) consists of pre-treatment module, multi-stage plating tanks, intelligent control system to support continuous 24-hour production. Taking Leimeng Equip's industrial electroplating machine as an example, it is equipped with Siemens PLC and SCADA system, which can monitor 200+ parameters in real time, such as current density (accuracy ±1%), temperature (±0.5°C), and so on, and is suitable for mass production scenarios, such as automotive wheel hubs and sanitary hardware. .
By introducing fully automated hanging plating equipment, a bathroom manufacturer realised the following benefits:
Labour costs: the number of operators was reduced from 12 to 3, saving 500,000 RMB in annual labour costs;
Energy efficiency: heat recovery system reduced power consumption by 25%;
Quality control: plating defect rate reduced from 3 per cent to 0.8 per cent and customer complaints reduced by 90 per cent.
According to the calculation, the equipment investment payback period is only 18 months, and the long-term profitability is increased by 8-10%.
By integrating plating equipment data through MES (Manufacturing Execution System), companies can:
Dynamic scheduling: Automatically adjust production line speeds based on order priorities;
Predictive maintenance: AI algorithms analyse equipment vibration and temperature data to warn of failures in advance;
Process optimisation: big data comparison of historical parameters, recommending the best current/plating solution proportioning scheme.
After an auto parts manufacturer applied the system, the equipment utilisation rate increased by 22% and the delivery cycle was shortened by 15%.
