Remote factory acceptance test

On August 25, 2021

The spread of the new champions league pneumonia outbreak, companies across the world are in trouble.New ways of working, for example, the virtual factory acceptance test (FAT), through the expansion of the application of digital tools, has brought the unprecedented benefits.

For project execution, FAT why so important?They can provides an opportunity for experts, to overhaul of equipment, to ensure we delivery of the products are made strictly in accordance with the specifications, and to avoid assembly problem in paper mill.During the acceptance tests, the customer will also have the opportunity to personally check their machines, test system (pulp), and firm to conduct a technical renovation project.This is a very valuable practice, because the customer can be engineer in the factory will be familiar with the equipment before the equipment is delivered to the paper mill.


Over the years, personally for factory acceptance test has been d service one of the features of virtue.New crown pneumonia outbreak related international blockade, limited to travel.Our challenge is, therefore, while maintaining the current project implementation plan, make the customer can still acceptance of their equipment.Aware of the demand, d the team start to look for solutions of virtue, to make the FAT to transfer into the virtual world as completely as possible

FATs into a live face to face

Solution is to live by, the customer will get into virtual meetings only links, high-definition transmission and communication between participants.D virtue team of engineers is equipped with a microphone headset suite, even in high noise level near work equipment, also can undertake wireless communication.Always ensure two-way communication, guiding camera operator use to check camera shows every detail, even the smallest details.

Image transmission is made from multiple cameras.For large equipment, will use the unmanned aerial vehicle (uav), a camera cable (located in the equipment at the top of the camera) and other display objects equipment according to customer's requirements.Transmission can be done in a second parallel channel, not participate in the discussion but watching the progress of the work specified by the customer can see.Can record the data flow, and then used for further discussion, the meeting is over, almost immediately ready to record.

However, in order to effectively implement the whole transmission process, must have a good organization and preparation.The preparatory work involved two level, technology level and material level, can distinguish.

The main purpose of the virtual factory acceptance test is for the safety of the machine to prepare, smooth and fast start up.

Customer technical field, including the transmission speed for at least 6-10 Mbps Internet connection and high quality headset with a microphone.When a customer from a specific Angle contact with a group of engineers, can also be used in the conference room audio solutions.There is no need to install cameras on the client.In each virtual FAT before you begin, the client receives a video guide, which shows how to prepare as well as the solution to solve the problem of may encounter.

Can create a connection on any device, computer, mobile phone or tablet

Substantive testing is another aspect.Before the meeting, both parties shall agree on the agenda, and ready to attendees list, in order to make sure all the necessary technical preparation.The agenda is a reference point.However, with the aid of live, you can extend the range of elements, we are interested in lead operators and lead the FAT to place of interest.In this way, which makes every part of the machine can be displayed, and perform all necessary testing, real-time can even in the case of a set of customer engineers to attend and discuss the results in a larger scope.Allowing new members to join the discussion, can also record virtual FAT is analyzed at any time, send to other colleagues or superiors.


The whole transmission by the designated personnel to supervise, involves the personnel responsible for signal transmission technology.Virtual FAT also can be added by 3 d scanning, the 3 d scan allows all the elements in the virtual practice during the inspection object.Will generate a 3 d model, it can be extracted to design programs (RCP, E57, PTX) used in the point cloud file.Can also be performed in two days and scan send to anywhere in the world.

At present, the virtual FAT is suitable for small and medium paper machine, the United States, Mexico and Indonesia's customer has been used successfully, the next application projects planned.

A new way of working and flexibility increase revenue

Until recently, FAT also involves several days of expensive trip.With the help of a new virtual solutions, customers can fully participate in factory acceptance testing, real-time to receive all the necessary information engineer, according to the defined completely assembled equipment and improvement or correction, without having to leave home or the office.This will they spend on project time limit in the core technology of discussion.In addition, anyone can participate in virtual FAT and make the necessary.Also can adjust the transmission time, to meet the customer's daily plan.High quality image transmission can be a thorough inspection to every detail, and the field test.For example, you can also get images from unmanned aerial vehicle (uav), the unable to get the perspective in providing the personnel access.Wherever our customers are what corner of the world, we are now
To meet at our studio in real time, and than before the outbreak better able to work together.
