The mass production capacity of lidar has always been a pain point in the industry. Faced with the problems of small scale and high unit price of the lidar market caused by the past market structure, whoever can solve this problem first will win the opportunity to win.
Camsense, which has been committed to the research and development of high-precision positioning visual sensors, was established in 2014. After years of technology accumulation and innovation, in addition to the development of professional-grade high-precision positioning systems (Camsense M Pro & Camsense S), it has also successfully solved the problem of lidar volume. In order to solve the production problem, a cost-effective lidar-Camsense X1 product was produced. At present, Camsense has an independent lidar production line and is a lidar company with stable supply capacity.
The author came to Camsense's factory this time to get in-depth contact with the first line of LiDAR Camsense X1 production.
Dust-free workshop, quality assurance
Walking into Camsense's production workshop, which is dust-free throughout the process, it is not difficult to see Camsense's attitude towards product excellence.
As we all know, a large part of high-precision and cutting-edge industries are inseparable from dust-free purification workshops, such as PCB printed circuit boards, optoelectronic LCD screens and LED industries. With the development of science and technology, the quality standards of supporting products required by the manufacturing industry have been continuously improved. For the laser mines produced by Camsense, the components involved in the camera and laser tube have high requirements on the environment. Once static electricity, dust and other problems occur, it will directly affect the performance of the product during testing, and in serious cases, it will cause The quality of the finished product. Therefore, Camsense not only innovates products in terms of production process, but also improves the production environment of products, strictly requires workshop environment, and improves product quality and stability.
MES traceability system to help intelligent manufacturing
MES system is a set of information management system for the production execution layer.
The Camsense production workshop adopts the MES system, which transmits the upper-level production plan to the production workshop, making the management of production materials transparent, not only standardizing the production process, but also strengthening quality management. Production data, realize high-quality compliant production, break the situation of "information island" in the factory, and realize the core platform of Camsense "digital factory".
The MES system helps Camsense realize functions such as production data collection and analysis, production planning management, production process control, product quality management, workshop inventory management, project kanban management and equipment management, thereby improving its manufacturing execution capabilities. The most intuitive performance is that when there is a problem in product production, the production staff can quickly locate the faulty link and assign responsibility to the person to solve it, which not only ensures the speed of mass production, but also provides customers with high-quality products.
From the careful production and assembly of a lidar, you can feel the sense of awe Camsense has for the product. From production to quality control, responsibility to people, and strict discipline, perhaps this is what many companies are gradually losing
