Interpretation of "Guide to the Construction of Smart Factories (Mine) in the Nonferrous Metals Industry (Trial)"

  In April 2020, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Natural Resources jointly announced the "Guide to the Construction of Smart Factories (Mining) in the Nonferrous Metal Industry (Trial)" (National Development and Reform Commission of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China (Ministry of Resources Announcement No. 19 of 2020, hereinafter referred to as "Guide"). The relevant contents of the "Guide" are now interpreted as follows.

1. Why should the "Guide" be issued?

  The non-ferrous metal industry is a typical process industry, with a wide variety of materials, a variety of raw material sources, complex processes, long processes, and harsh working conditions. Overall, the level of intelligent manufacturing in the non-ferrous metal industry is relatively backward, and it is difficult to meet the needs of high-quality development. Among them, mining equipment mainly depends on manual driving operations, which has high work intensity and high safety risks; there are many types of smelting equipment and sensitive sources of safety, and enterprise automation The level of control is uneven, especially the small-scale enterprises are backward in process equipment and rely on manual operations, and the situation of environmental protection and safety production is grim; the production and operation data of some processing enterprises are filled in through paper, online monitoring methods are insufficient, and the quality control ability is not high The production organization lacks flexibility.

  Under the new situation of the vigorous development of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and increasing resource and environmental constraints, enterprises generally recognize the importance of intelligent manufacturing and accelerate the promotion of digitalization and networking. Some enterprises are engaged in unmanned driving, equipment intelligent diagnosis, and copper plate automation. Breakthroughs have been made in intelligent applications in some areas, such as divestiture, but most enterprises face problems such as unclear construction goals and paths, incomplete construction content, inadequate construction focus, and difficulty in project advancement. Insufficient awareness and serious information silo phenomenon, it is easy to fall into the misunderstandings of "emphasis on local reconstruction, overall optimization", "business system construction, data value mining", "building, operation and maintenance".

  In order to further promote the integrated innovation and integration of 5G, industrial Internet, artificial intelligence and other new-generation information and communication technologies in the non-ferrous metal industry, and provide top-level design and comprehensive guidance for enterprises to carry out intelligent manufacturing at the operational level, we have studied and compiled non-ferrous metal industry intelligence Guidelines for the construction of mines, intelligent smelting plants, and intelligent processing plants, specifying requirements for construction goals, construction paths, construction content, and basic support.
