In industrial project construction, equipment installation is a complex and critical link, and its management level directly affects the project's progress, quality, and cost. Equipment installation animation, as an emerging visualization tool, is gradually becoming a powerful means to improve project installation management.

Intuitive Display Advantages of Equipment Installation Animation

Traditional equipment installation drawings are often abstract, making it difficult for installers to understand the overall structure and installation position of the equipment. Equipment installation animation, through 3D modeling technology, can accurately restore the appearance and internal structure of the equipment and intuitively display its specific position at the installation site. Taking the installation for Guangdong Zhaoqing Xijiang Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. as an example, during the epidemic, Xijiang Machinery commissioned Xiamen Xuncheng to produce equipment installation animations. Through animated demonstrations and remote guidance for the manufacturing company to assemble machinery and equipment themselves, it resolved the awkward situation of engineers being unable to travel abroad for installation, ensuring the smooth delivery of the project.

Dynamic Demonstration of Installation Process and Steps

Equipment installation animation can dynamically demonstrate the installation process and each step of the equipment. From equipment transportation and hoisting to assembly and debugging, every link is presented in a vivid animated format. Installers can follow the animation's demonstration to perform installation operations step by step, avoiding errors and repetitive work caused by unfamiliarity with the installation process. For example, in the installation of a 2500 five-layer corrugated cardboard production line, the animation can clearly show the components of the overhead bridge installation, such as aligning the H-steel with the production line's centerline, measuring diagonals, the type of expansion bolts used for specific profiles, and the accurate installation position of the production line in the factory, making it clear to installers and ensuring they can complete the installation tasks accurately.

Strengthening Quality Control During the Installation Process

During the equipment installation process, there are some critical installation nodes. The installation quality of these nodes directly affects the normal operation and service life of the equipment. Equipment installation animations produced by Xiamen Xuncheng highlight these critical installation nodes through close-ups, color annotations, and clearly mark the corresponding installation standards.

Facilitating Installation Management and Communication

Subsequently, Xijiang Machinery uses the equipment installation animation as a unified installation guide document, distributed to all personnel involved in the installation. Whether it's on-site installation workers, technicians, or managers, they can understand the installation requirements and procedures by watching the animation, ensuring consistency and standardization of installation work. The animation also serves as material for internal installation training, educating newly hired installation personnel and improving their overall quality.

With its intuitive display, enhanced quality control for installation, and ease of installation management and communication, equipment installation animation has become a visualization tool for improving project installation management. As industrial technology continues to develop, equipment installation animation will play an even more important role in industrial project construction, providing strong assurance for enterprises' safe production and efficient operation.

Featured FAQs:

Q: What are the benefits of equipment installation animation?

A: The benefits of equipment installation animation are:

1- Significantly reduces reliance on experienced installers;

2- Equipment installation is less prone to errors;

3- Beneficial for training new employees;

4- Customers perceive greater professionalism.

5- Reduces installation costs and risks.

Q: Is equipment usage animation expensive?

A: Let's start with the conclusion: Equipment usage animation creates benefits for machinery factories. The greater the investment, the greater the return. The cost of producing equipment usage animation generally ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, or even higher. It may seem expensive on the surface, but the actual average cost per piece of equipment is not high. How does equipment usage animation create benefits for machinery factories?

1- Low average cost. Machinery and equipment are typically updated slightly every 2 years and significantly every 4 years. The total cost of animation video production is very low when averaged across each unit;

2- Equipment premium. According to actual test data from machinery factories, for every 1 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 reduces after-sales service costs, especially during the equipment warranty period;

4- Effectively enhances customer loyalty;

5- More competitive compared to similar products.

Characteristics: Relatively large initial investment, very small subsequent investment.

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

A: No. Equipment usage animation demonstrates the content of traditional paper operation manuals in the form of animated videos (e.g., in a printing press, the paper feeding unit primarily explains how to adjust baffles, guides, and how to feed paper; the printing unit primarily explains how to apply ink, change plates, and adjust printing pressure, none of which involve sensitive equipment structures). Machinery factories can also delete or deform sensitive equipment structures when providing equipment models. The control always remains with the machinery factory.
