With the evolution from “made in China” to “made in China”, manufacturing enterprises represented by Oriental hope, China FAW and Putian iron core have started digital transformation.
“In the early digital transformation, like most manufacturing enterprises, we also faced many problems, because the degree of digitization and intelligence in the traditional manufacturing industry is generally low, especially group companies need cross regional and organizational collaborative office. The solution to this problem in general enterprises or manufacturing industry is to build some single business scenarios Solutions, such as a series of digital projects, can not solve the fundamental problems in essence. As these projects are used for a long time, new problems of data linkage and data flow will be caused, and the iterative upgrading of these projects will cause great harm to the business chain. ” Hou Qiqi, general manager of Oriental hope products, told the first financial reporter that all digital transformation should have unified planning and clear objectives. Since 2016, the group has preliminarily made digital transformation planning and clearly formulated the key indicators that must be achieved every year.
Now, there are new workers in the digital age to try to solve these problems.
from ” ” people find machines “to” machines find people ”
The most obvious benefit of digitization is that it can help enterprises improve communication efficiency. Nail is a new worker in the digital age, presenting different faces in different companies.
From flexible production, equipment management, intelligent storage to supply chain collaboration, data is the key production factor driving intelligent manufacturing, which is promoting the change of production and operation mode of manufacturing enterprises. For large manufacturing enterprises, the “information chimney” caused by numerous business systems makes it difficult for data to generate value in flow; For small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises, the lack of out of the box scheme makes it difficult for enterprises to master enterprise operation data in real time and accurately.
What did the “new worker” do?
“First of all, we need to realize the real-time online of equipment. Through sensors and cloud capabilities, on-site personnel and company managers can understand the operation status of equipment and the index status of various links of production environment in real time. In a certain production process, if the index is abnormal and can not be handled in time, it will bring hundreds of millions of economic losses to the enterprise, which is particularly obvious for the traditional manufacturing industry. Therefore, we have built a standard equipment management system, which is integrated on the nail, and can monitor the production, equipment and environment in real time. Different color bands represent early warning information of different emergency degrees. ” Hou Qiqi said that when an exception occurs, the system will automatically push the nail message, and even automatically call the corresponding person in charge to ensure that it can be processed in real time, leave the corresponding maintenance record after processing, and achieve production traceability.
Tian Chao, general manager of smart office application department of Qiming Information Technology Co.Ltd(002232) (hereinafter referred to as ” Qiming Information Technology Co.Ltd(002232) “, a subsidiary of China FAW Holdings), also feels deeply about the advantages of digitization.
“After years of system construction, large enterprises will have many systems. Through unified users and unified authentication, FAW has realized that more than 120000 people access and handle all business approval through one system entrance. In the past, different businesses needed to enter different business systems for approval, but now the group has established a unified to-do center to integrate the approval of all business systems into one There is a unified to-do center, and there is no need to enter each business system to handle business separately. The efficiency is an exponential improvement. ” Tian Chao said that there are more than 1400 processes in the group’s to-do center, and now the process approval can be realized in the to-do center.
As early as around 2000, FAW developed OA system, which was basically dominated by announcements, news and simple emails at that time; In 2008, the comprehensive business system was developed, which basically realized the coordination between the group headquarters and its subsidiary companies, such as sending official documents by the headquarters, receiving documents by the subsidiary companies, uploading and releasing tasks, etc; In 2015, Qiming company developed its own enterprise collaboration platform to integrate all business systems of FAW into one platform through a unified portal platform, whether PC or mobile applications. In 2019, FAW Group and Ali signed a strategic cooperation agreement, Qiming Information Technology Co.Ltd(002232) using the capabilities of the whole nailing collaborative office platform and application development platform to realize the digitization of enterprise organization and business, and build the FAW easy platform currently used by the group.
collaboration in the digital age
In addition to improving the efficiency of communication between people and between people and machines, the essence of digitization is to help enterprises achieve “quality improvement, cost reduction and efficiency increase”.
“Order production in the manufacturing industry leads to problems in each process, which will cause waste of materials. In the past, the manufacturing process depends on experience, and the biggest technical difficulty of iron core products is to reduce energy consumption. The lower the energy consumption, the higher the product price, and the measurement of different energy consumption needs to be accurate to 0.01.” Wu Weiwei, deputy general manager of Putian iron core, told the first financial reporter that in order to ensure the accuracy of each process, Putian iron core has connected the whole production line to online monitoring, developed a set of “intelligent collaboration” application, connected nails, and online the three important links of iron core production, so that employees can see the production status of each process on their mobile phones and see any abnormalities, You can directly operate through the mobile phone to terminate the next program. The on-line inspection of the production line process has increased the yield by 8%.
High speed rail is a company specializing in manufacturing, researching and developing power transformer core and oriented electrical steel. In 2021, 40% output was exported. The core of the old fellow railway transformer was from the product of Wuxi Putian iron core. The per capita annual output value of Putian iron core phase I plant is 4 million, and the per capita annual output value of phase II intelligent chemical plant is 8 million. The doubling of per capita annual output value is mainly due to the realization of data interconnection in the company’s phase II plant. After breaking the data island, the order delivery cycle is shortened from 8 days to 4 days; Through the on-line detection of production data, the scrap rate of operation loss is reduced by 25%.
For the return on investment, “the return on investment can not be seen in the short term, and the investment in informatization should be based on the top decision. The next three phases of plant construction will integrate the supplier’s factory automation and informatization. At present, the planned investment is about 600 million yuan.” Wu Weiwei believes that no matter how intelligent the equipment is, people are still needed. Equipment is just people’s production tools. Connecting equipment and people can better make tools serve people’s innovation; In the future, factory workers will be new workers in the digital age who need to understand digitization and use automatic equipment.
Not only at the enterprise level, but also at the policy level.
In December 2021, eight departments including the Ministry of industry and information technology issued the intelligent manufacturing development plan for the 14th five year plan (hereinafter referred to as the plan). The plan proposes that in the 14th five year plan and for a long time to come, to promote intelligent manufacturing, we should base ourselves on the essence of manufacturing, closely adhere to the intelligent characteristics, take technology and equipment as the core, take data as the basis, and rely on manufacturing units, workshops, factories, supply chains and other carriers to build an intelligent manufacturing system with virtual reality integration, knowledge drive, dynamic optimization, safety, efficiency, green and low carbon, Promote the digital transformation, networked collaboration and intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry.
By 2025, most manufacturing enterprises above Designated Size will realize digital networking, and key enterprises in key industries will initially apply intellectualization; By 2035, manufacturing enterprises above Designated Size will fully popularize digital networking, and backbone enterprises in key industries will basically realize intellectualization.
