P17 Industrial Tablet——Key Points for Human-Machine Interaction in Lean Production Lines

A certain home appliance intelligent manufacturing factory is facing problems such as scattered production line data, complex equipment interaction, and cumbersome operation of traditional industrial control interfaces in the process of promoting Industry 4.0 upgrade. In order to improve the collaborative efficiency and visualization level of the production line, the factory has introduced the Xiyang Industrial Control P17 17 inch industrial tablet computer as the human-machine interaction core for key workstations, and built a unified production control platform.
Deploy 20 P17 industrial tablets at the core workstations of the assembly line, testing line, and packaging line, with configurations and functional designs that accurately meet the needs of industrial scenarios
hardware configuration
17 inch 4:3 front screen, resolution 1280 × 1024, vertical field of view more suitable for displaying process documents
Intel Core i5-7200U processor, 8GB DDR4 memory, ensuring smooth operation of complex interfaces
3 Intel Gigabit Ethernet ports, connected to PLC, vision sensors, and MES systems respectively
4 COM ports (supporting RS422/485 and power supply), compatible with old equipment and dedicated controllers
Resistive touch screen, supports glove wearing and stable operation in harsh environments

System functions:
Centralized management of injection molding process parameters
Real time monitoring of 32 key parameters including melt adhesive temperature, injection pressure, and holding time
Automatically retrieve the optimal process formula for different raw material grades
Automatic warning of parameter abnormalities and locking of the last 30 module products
Online Quality Inspection System
Real time display of product appearance images captured by CCD cameras
Automatically identify defect locations such as shrinkage, flash, and missing materials
Generate quality trend chart and alert mold wear status
Equipment Efficiency Analysis Dashboard
Real time display of equipment OEE, energy consumption statistics, and capacity achievement status
Automatically record the number of times the mold is used and prompt the maintenance cycle

Innovative application scenarios
Intelligent Process Optimization System
The injection molding process expert library built on P17 automatically records the corresponding relationship between each parameter adjustment and product quality, and continuously optimizes the combination of process parameters through machine learning, enabling new employees to quickly produce qualified products.
Mold lifecycle management
By monitoring real-time mold temperature, locking force, and other data through P17, a mold health prediction model is established to provide early warning before abnormal mold wear occurs, reducing mold maintenance costs by 35%.
Remote Expert Diagnosis Platform
By utilizing the multi port advantage of P17, a tripartite collaboration platform is established between equipment manufacturers, mold engineers, and on-site personnel. Through AR remote guidance, equipment abnormalities can be quickly resolved, reducing the average fault handling time by 60%.

After the implementation of the project, the overall equipment efficiency has been improved to 87%. 2. The frequency of manual intervention on the production line has been reduced by 40%. 3. The delivery cycle of customer orders has been shortened by 25%. 4. Annual cost savings and reduced operation and maintenance expenses
P17 professional industrial tablet is not only an upgrade of human-computer interaction interface, but also a strategic infrastructure for promoting the landing of intelligent manufacturing.
