CCTV News:In the first half of this year, the added value and the two-year average growth rate of investment in the national high-tech manufacturing industry maintained double-digit growth, and the vitality of the manufacturing industry continued to generate. The pace of digitalization and intellectualization of industries across the country is accelerating. Nearly 2,000 industrial enterprises in Wuhan, Hubei Province are improving their efficiency through intelligent secondary transformation this year. In Wuhu, Anhui Province, about 1,800 industrial enterprises above designated size have basically achieved full coverage of the "industrial cloud". Let’s follow the pace of the reporter’s investigation and see what changes are taking place in the production line now.
24 days, this is the time from placing an order for a car to the time when the whole car is off the assembly line.
With 73 optional packages, users can easily own a customized car.
In the assembly workshop of an automobile manufacturing enterprise in Jiangxi, the intelligent production line does not stop for 24 hours, and a customized car goes off the assembly line every 7 hours.
CCTV reporter Sun Yuan:On my left hand side is their car assembly workshop, and on my right hand side is the "twin workshop" which is called the assembly workshop by the local people. So, what is the difference in this workshop?
When you walk into this workshop, you can’t hear the roar of the machine, but all kinds of data are flashing on the big screen, which is a digital workshop the same size as the physical workshop.
Bai Square Wave, Director of Operation of Aichi Automobile Factory:I put all my factories and all my equipment (data) in it, and all the equipment failures and the locations where all the information occurred can be directly presented in this 3D digital factory.
Bai Fangbo told reporters that in the "twin factory", the manufacturing execution system, order tracking and management system of the factory are seamlessly linked by digital means, which can quickly and accurately solve the problems in the whole industrial chain of production, supply and marketing. If new models or new production lines are added, production can also be simulated in the digital workshop in advance, and then put into actual production after the relevant indicators are mature, thus achieving research and development and production at the same time, greatly improving efficiency.
Zhong Rongfa, Vice President of Aichi Automobile Factory:The digital operation system makes the whole supply chain information seamless, timely, transparent and consistent. What kind of customer needs we have, our factory will know at the same time as the supply chain, so it can make corresponding preparations for these things in advance and the delivery cycle can be further shortened.
Digitalization brings not only the compression of production cycle, but also the flexible production of automobiles. In the assembly workshop, the reporter found that two different models of cars are being assembled on the same production line. The flexible production line enables customers’ personalized needs to be realized. There are 73 optional packages, which means that there are 384 possibilities for a model car.
Zhong Rongfa, Vice President of Aichi Automobile Factory:What kind of car model does the customer want, including the interior and exterior decoration, as well as the whole configuration inside, then once the whole demand is triggered, it will go to the factory completely and immediately, distribute it to the whole supply chain system, pull the whole material, realize our whole flexible assembly, and finally assemble it to the production line.
Roaring machines, silent operations and smarter production lines have shortened the delivery cycle of cars by 20% and brought real money to enterprises. In the first half of this year, enterprises exported more than 1,300 personalized orders to Europe, and the monthly revenue in May alone nearly tripled compared with the same period last year.
