Into the tube filling, code printing and scanning, packaging and packaging... In the intelligent manufacturing workshop of the Perfect South China Base in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, one piece of aloe vera gel can be produced in an average of 1 second.
This is a microcosm of the development achievements of "Made in Zhongshan" digital and intelligent transformation.
Zhongshan City is located in the hinterland of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It is dominated by traditional manufacturing industries and the main market players are small and medium-sized enterprises.
In recent years, with the gradual weakening of the advantages of traditional manufacturing, the "small and scattered" professional town economic model has become one of the factors restricting the development of Zhongshan.
Only by helping more small and medium-sized enterprises realize digital and intelligent transformation, can we inject new momentum into the transformation and upgrading of "Made in Zhongshan".
In December last year, Zhongshan proposed to unswervingly implement the industrial transformation and upgrading project, and insist on both transforming and upgrading traditional industries and cultivating emerging industries. The city invested at least 5 billion yuan to support the digital and intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry.
In January this year, the "Several Policies and Measures for the Promotion of the Digital and Intelligent Transformation and Development of the Manufacturing Industry in Zhongshan City" (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures") were officially issued and implemented.
The policy focuses on deepening the integrated development of a new generation of information technology and manufacturing, focusing on benchmarking enterprises, benchmarking platforms, and demonstration industrial parks (industrial clusters), and strives to build 40 digital and intelligent demonstration factories and 60 digital and intelligent demonstration factories by 2025. Demonstration workshop to promote 40 enterprises to carry out the construction of industrial Internet benchmarking demonstration projects.
"Making a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises in motion is the direction of our policy this year," said Xu Yongzhe, deputy director of the Zhongshan Bureau of Industry and Information Technology.
According to the "Measures", Zhongshan will strive to promote the digital transformation of 3,500 industrial enterprises, and drive the majority of small, medium and micro enterprises to use the cloud.
Zhongshan Chenyuan Textile Technology Co., Ltd. has built a "digital factory" in the cloud by virtue of the enterprise's digital and intelligent transformation, and has given enterprises new competitiveness through the Internet, and has become a benchmark enterprise of digital and intelligent transformation in the industry.
In Zhongshan Chenyuan Factory, the integrated application of information covers all aspects of suppliers, procurement, R&D, production, warehousing and sales.
The system interface clearly shows the real-time production progress and quality monitoring; the AGV intelligent trolley travels in an orderly manner, which can be searched and transported, and the management of production logistics is opened up with the WMS intelligent warehousing system...
Lin Jincang, executive vice president of Zhongshan Chenyuan, told reporters that in order to match the intelligent system, the company reshaped the production process.
The transition from "mere automation" to real-time optimization enables process owners to have access to process-relevant information at any time, avoiding poor decision-making due to lack of visibility into problems.
However, the digital-to-intelligence transformation of the manufacturing industry is not only a matter of a single enterprise, but the industrial chain and industrial clusters are the key points that cannot be bypassed.
"We hope to help the industrial chain complete the integration of the industrial Internet in the upper, middle and lower reaches as soon as possible, so that local textile enterprises can also further develop and create more profits." Lin Jincang said, focusing on the information system management software and comprehensive digital and intelligent transformation of the textile industry The solution is urgently needed by the entire industry.
In 2020, Zhongshan will become the second pilot city in Guangdong Province to carry out collaborative innovation of characteristic industrial clusters and industrial chains.
Focusing on characteristic industrial clusters such as hardware, home appliances, lamps, and panel furniture, Zhongshan adopts the model of "government policy + intelligent manufacturing suppliers + financing guarantee + small and medium-sized enterprises in the industrial chain" to provide policy combination support for enterprises implementing intelligent transformation.
Taking the intelligent transformation of the entire industry chain of home appliances as an example, Zhongshan has introduced chip design companies, built a product intelligence platform, and a digital empowerment platform to "increase heart and brain" for home appliance products, and access the Hongmeng ecosystem.
For the midstream, build common factories such as polishing and sheet metal processing, build a number of digital factories and digital workshop benchmarks, promote the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises to go to the cloud platform, and improve the overall digitalization level of manufacturing.
For the downstream, it plans to use the regional brand of Zhongshan Mercure to carry out digital marketing and enhance the competitiveness of home appliance brands.
At present, Zhongshan City has 2 national-level demonstration projects for intelligent manufacturing pilots, 29 provincial-level demonstration projects, 86 municipal-level demonstration projects, and 31 provincial-level industrial Internet benchmarks.
Liang Shilun, vice president of the Guangdong Provincial Blue Book Research Association, believes that improving the modernization level of the industrial chain is an inevitable requirement for accelerating the development of the modern industrial system and promoting the optimization and upgrading of the economic system.
Based on the basic advantages of manufacturing, Zhongshan should actively connect with the innovation resources of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macau, play the role of an important node city in the Greater Bay Area, strengthen the key links or related supporting facilities in the subdivision of the industrial chain, and jointly build and cultivate high-quality, high-tech world-class industries. cluster.
