在疫情(COVID-19)爆發時,嚴重影響了很多的產業,迫使很多工廠需要關閉,但也有些工廠卻擁有更多的訂單,口罩產業就是受益的產業之一。但口罩廠的自動化程度相對較低,隨著需求量的大增,為了減少人員接觸產品的次數、減少人工成本、提高生產效率與良率,口罩工廠也開始投入自動化,將原有的工廠只有口罩生產是自動化的狀態,提升至更多製程都靠自動化來完成。
本研究主要是針對單片包裝的口罩,在塞入紙盒的製程,進行開發設計,並透過田口法找出最佳化的參數。塞盒製程主要是由口罩裝盒機的預壓塞盒模組與塞盒模組來完成,目的是減少原有需要較多人力的製程,藉此來達到減少人力、增加產量與提升良率。研究比較了預壓塞盒模組跟塞盒模原有的設計與改善後的設計,運用田口法進行分析與取得最佳化參數,並利用獲得的最佳化參數,進行大量的塞盒良率測試,塞盒的不良率在加入優化條件後,由原先的501.4 ppm (百萬分之一)降低至189 ppm以下,成功減少人力,也證明設備是能正式生產的。
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many industries were severely impacted due to lock down and restriction of people movement. However, some industries experienced an increase in orders; the face mask industry is one of them. Despite the surged demand, the level of automation in face mask production was still relatively low. To reduce human contact with products, lower labor costs, and improve production efficiency and yield, mask factories began investing in automation. This involved in upgrading the existing partially automated production lines to achieve greater automation across various production stages.
This study focuses on the design and implementation of automating the packing of individually sealed masks, specifically at the stage of inserting masks into carton boxes. The goal is to optimize the process by using the Taguchi method. The box-inserting stage is primarily carried out by the pre-press box-inserting section and the box-inserting section of the mask packing machine. The purpose is to reduce the labor-intensive nature of the original process, thereby decreasing manpower, increasing production output, and improving yield.
Using the optimized parameters, extensive field testing of the box-inserting section shows that the defect rate of box insertion decreases from 501.4 ppm to 189 ppm. Furthermore, the manpower reduces from the original 11 workers to 4 workers, indicating the effectiveness of the present implemented automation system.
