Design and Development of a New Flexible Detection Assembly Line for Electric Energy Meters

This paper designs and develops a single and three-phase electric energy meter calibration assembly line system, and conducts research on large-scale flexible calibration of electric energy measurement. The detection hardware system mainly consists of connection units, loading and unloading units, pallet conveying units, accuracy and multifunctional calibration units, PLC control systems, and calibration software. We need to use the MES production execution system to manage tasks, perform calibration, and process data processing and services, complete information exchange between control software and calibration software, coordinate the actions between the calibration conveyor system and the calibration device, perform calibration and testing, and meet the requirements of each functional unit. We cooperated with the intelligent three-dimensional warehouse, exchange logistics information, complete the automation operation of the entire process, and achieve intelligent electric energy meter detection.
