In industrial production, equipment maintenance is crucial, directly affecting production efficiency and enterprise costs. With the development of technology, 3D animation has been widely used in the field of industrial maintenance, bringing innovation to maintenance work.

 

Accurate Fault Diagnosis and Positioning

Traditional fault diagnosis often relies on the experience of maintenance personnel and limited detection methods. For faults within complex equipment, diagnosis is difficult and time-consuming. 3D animation can create precise models of equipment and simulate its normal operating status and various fault modes. By observing the animation, maintenance personnel can clearly see the internal structure and operating status of the equipment, quickly locating fault points. This greatly reduces fault diagnosis time and improves maintenance efficiency.

 

Efficient Maintenance Training and Guidance

For new maintenance personnel or when facing new equipment, training is an essential step. Traditional training methods usually rely on manuals and on-site explanations, with limited effectiveness. 3D animation can produce vivid and intuitive training tutorials, demonstrating equipment disassembly, maintenance steps, and precautions in a dynamic format. Maintenance personnel can repeatedly watch the animations to deepen their understanding and memory of the maintenance process.

 

Optimizing Maintenance Plan Formulation

When formulating maintenance plans, factors such as equipment structure, fault type, and maintenance costs need to be considered. 3D animation can simulate different maintenance plans, showing the operation process and expected results of each plan through animation. The maintenance team can evaluate the pros and cons of each plan based on the results of the animation simulation and select the optimal maintenance plan.

 

Remote Assistance and Collaboration

In some situations, on-site maintenance personnel may encounter problems that are difficult to solve and require expert remote assistance. 3D animation can remotely transmit the real-time status and fault situation of the equipment to experts in animated form. By watching the animation, experts can accurately understand the on-site situation and provide timely and accurate guidance to the maintenance personnel.

 

Customer Case

In industrial production, downtime caused by equipment failure can lead to huge economic losses for enterprises. 3D animation can quickly provide detailed maintenance guidance when a fault occurs. Maintenance personnel can quickly understand the fault location, maintenance steps, and required tools through the animation, thereby reducing maintenance time.

Ruichang Jinggong's after-sales service personnel provide maintenance animation to the customer's factory. By repeatedly studying the animated guidance content, they can also identify potential problems in advance, greatly reducing downtime losses and further improving equipment reliability and production efficiency.

 


Selected FAQs:

Q: How to produce 3D animation related to equipment maintenance?

A: Most machinery factories and production plants rely on experienced and qualified electromechanical engineers for equipment maintenance. Equipment maintenance animation can effectively solve this problem.

1. It is recommended to first produce animations for common equipment fault points (including mechanical and electrical);

2. Record and document on-site maintenance to accumulate material for animation production;

3. Quantity: It is recommended to produce about 10-15 mechanical maintenance animations and 5-8 electrical maintenance animations for large equipment; for medium and small equipment, about 6-8 mechanical maintenance animations and 3-5 electrical maintenance animations;

4. Equipment maintenance animation is a process of continuous accumulation and optimization, with a long production cycle. Project liaison personnel should be relatively stable.

 

Q: Will equipment usage animations expose sensitive structures of the equipment?

A: No.

Equipment usage animations demonstrate the content of traditional paper operation manuals in video format (e.g., in printing presses, the paper feeding unit mainly explains how to adjust baffles and guides, and how to load paper; the printing unit mainly explains how to ink, change plates, and adjust printing pressure, which will not involve sensitive equipment structures). Machinery factories can also delete or modify sensitive equipment structures when providing equipment models.

The initiative always lies with the machinery factory.

 

Q: Are equipment usage animations very expensive?

A: Conclusion first: Equipment usage animations create benefits for machinery factories. The greater the investment, the greater the return.

The production cost of equipment usage animations generally ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, or even higher. While seemingly expensive, the average cost per piece of equipment is not high.

How do equipment usage animations create benefits for machinery factories?

1. Low amortization cost. Machinery equipment is generally updated slightly every 2 years and significantly every 4 years. The total cost of animation video production is very low when amortized per machine;

2. Equipment premium. According to actual test data from machinery factories, for every yuan invested in producing equipment operation and maintenance animations, the equipment sales premium generated is about 3-5 yuan (i.e., 3-5 times);

3. Significantly reduce after-sales service costs, especially within the equipment warranty period;

4. Effectively improve customer loyalty;

5. More competitive compared to similar products.

Characteristics: Large initial investment, very small subsequent investment.
