Abstract:
In order to promote the efficiency and accuracy of cigarette material dispensing, an intelligent dispensing system was designed on the basis of the characteristics and conditions of cigarette materials. The system is mainly composed of truck unloading and material unpacking conveying lines, diverting conveying lines, buffer depot and pallet conveying lines. After being manually sorted, cigarette materials are automatically conveyed, dispensed and palletized, and then conveyed into material storehouse by the system. The materials for cigarette brand "Yunyan (Purple)" were tested in Kunming Cigarette Factory, the results showed that comparing with traditional methods, the qualified rate of palletizing shape of intelligent system increased by 26.48 percentage points, dispensing time reduced by 0.76 min/pallet; the number of operators for 6 lines decreased by 32 persons. This system provides a technical support for improving the automated logistics technology and lean management of cigarette enterprises.
