Specialized, special and new to support new development and fight against the epidemic "three measures" to ensure the production


  chain

  At present, the complexity, severity and uncertainty of economic development are on the rise. Since April, the city has also experienced clustered epidemics and multiple spreads, which have had a periodical impact on the city's economic development. However, relevant parties pointed out that the epidemic situation The impact of this is temporary, and in the long run, the city's good momentum of sustained economic recovery and development will not change.

  Such a judgment stems from the confidence of "seeking progress while maintaining stability" and the strong support of the modern economic system with the characteristics of the capital.

  "Stable" in terms of numbers - from January to April, the city's fixed asset investment increased by 8.9%, the actual utilization of foreign capital and total import and export increased by 26.6% and 18.9% respectively; service consumption and online consumption maintained positive growth, accounting for a continuous proportion of total consumption Improve; there are more than 2,000 projects of more than 100 million yuan in the city's major investment project reserve, and a rolling succession mechanism of "planning a batch, reserve a batch, start a batch, and put a batch into production" has been formed...

  From the perspective of industrial development, "progress" - a new round of pilot reform measures have been implemented, the R&D investment of enterprises has maintained double-digit growth, and the cultivation and growth of high-end industrial clusters such as the new generation of information technology, medicine and health, and intelligent connected vehicles has been accelerated. , high-precision industries and the innovation chain, industrial chain and supply chain of "Beijing Smart Manufacturing" are closely connected...

  The facts are the most convincing and the scene is the most shocking.

In order to further explore the development status of the "Beijing Intelligent Manufacturing" high-tech industry, which is the city's "cabbage heart", a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily recently walked into the city's only two lighthouse factories - Sany Heavy Industry Beijing Zhuang in Changping District Machine Factory and Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., to explore the "mysteries" of specialized, specialized and new enterprises in safeguarding the supply chain and industrial chain and supporting the innovation and development of the capital.

  "Human-machine collaboration" labor productivity increased by 80%

  "Beijing Smart Manufacturing" is first manifested in the high degree of automation.

The lighthouse factory refers to the best practice factory for the application of Industry 4.0 technology, representing the highest level of global intelligent manufacturing.

Walking into the first certified lighthouse factory in the global heavy industry industry - Sany Heavy Industry Beijing pile machine factory, the first impression is "big". In the factory building of more than 40,000 square meters, various drill pipe products are often more than ten meters long, and the processing The equipment for these products is larger, and the overall atmosphere is full of heavy industry, but it does not make people feel "clunky", thanks to the highly intelligent production line.

On the intelligent mid-mast assembly line, various robotic arms swing regularly, and each action is set in advance and in an orderly manner.

Here, sorting as small as a steel plate, as large as the assembly of more than ten tons of masts, can be automated by robots.

  The Beiqing Daily reporter noticed that intelligence runs through every link of the factory.

The factory control center is the "brain" of the entire factory's intelligent manufacturing. Through the control center, orders can be quickly decomposed into each flexible production line, each equipment, and each worker, realizing the data-driven process from order to delivery; in 5G+AR equipment With the blessing, "human-machine collaboration" allows the "hands" of the smart factory to operate rapidly, and the "dirty" and "tiring" tasks such as material sorting and pin assembly are all undertaken by robots; robot AI can also learn through programming-free methods The skills and techniques of skilled workers realize the inheritance of the "old master" craftsman spirit.

With such human-machine collaboration, automation, artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies, the lighthouse factory has increased labor productivity by 85%, making it one of the factories with the highest degree of intelligence, the highest per capita output value and the lowest unit energy consumption in the global heavy industry.

  Worker productivity is reflected through screen "curves"

  Another beacon factory in the manufacturing industry, Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., also uses automation in all aspects of production and management.

In the machining area, all you can see is the "hum" of the machine running, "The finishing of the engine block and cylinder head is done here, all using special machines, with minimal human intervention. "Foton Cummins intelligent manufacturing and continuous improvement manager Wang Xi pointed to the electronic screen on the chassis and said, "The parameters of the machining operation will be transmitted to this system platform in real time. If there is a part failure during the operation of the machine, the system platform will sense and respond in real time. Automatic shutdown in milliseconds, enabling predictive alerting and analyzing the cause of failure.”

  Walking to the distribution area, one after another fully automatic "AGV trolleys" (automatic guided transport vehicles) turned into smart logistics "scuds", transporting engine blocks back and forth, they can easily transport 3 single engines of more than 260 kilograms The cylinder is accurately sent to the next process at one time.

  Engine production is complete, is there a need for manual testing of performance?

Foton Cummins' answer is no.

The factory can achieve "unmanned" engine performance testing through a pre-set test cycle system that transports the engine to a pre-installed test tray.

  In addition to the intelligence of the production line, the factory will also maximize its intelligence in personnel management.

Liu Yuanfu, IT Infrastructure & Big Data Manager of Foton Cummins, intends to bring a reporter from Beiqing Daily to an electronic display screen in the factory, where he sees multiple curves fluctuating up and down, "This is the factory's system for understanding the work efficiency of employees. Through the curve on this digital platform, we can clearly see which equipment, which station is inefficient, and what is the one-time pass rate of key stations.”

Liu Yuanfu said that according to the chart on the screen, the factory can "prescribe the right medicine" to improve efficiency. "Since we have this system, our hourly output has increased by more than 40%."

  The Beiqing Daily reporter learned that in the factory of Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., the automation rate of key processes of the engine from the machining, assembly, testing of the cylinder block and cylinder head to the painting and attachment of the engine has reached more than 90%.

  Digital "wisdom eyes" intelligently track the production chain and supply chain

  "Digital manufacturing" is one of the most prominent features of a manufacturing enterprise that can be called a lighthouse factory, and it is also an important feature of "Intelligent Manufacturing in Beijing".

The two lighthouse factories of Sany Heavy Industry Beijing Pile Driver Factory and Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. represent the highest standard of "digitalization" of the city's manufacturing industry.

"Digitalization" helps to track the after-sales operation of products, accurately serve customers, and can also grasp the development trend of the industry and gain insight into market trends.

  In the factory of Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. covering an area of ​​66,000 square meters, "digital" production and "big data" management also provide support for the company to continuously innovate and improve efficiency.

In order to better serve customers, the factory has built a digital service center. On the "Foton Cummins Experience Center Large Screen" occupying an entire wall, the operating status, distribution and key business parameters of 680,000 sold engines are displayed. Real-time display.

  Jing Jing, manager of Foton Cummins digital service center, told the Beiqing Daily reporter that each engine is equipped with an intelligent terminal, which is connected to the digital system, which can monitor the performance and operating status of the sold engines in real time, and predict failures in advance.

For example, if a customer adds substandard oil, it may lead to engine failure. The Internet of Vehicles platform can detect it in time and give an early warning 10 to 14 hours in advance to inform the reason.

If the engine fails, the intelligent terminal system will also actively contact the customer for remote diagnosis. "If the failure is serious and must be repaired at the service station, the on-site maintenance personnel can wear AR glasses to interact with experts to solve difficult problems." Jing Jing said.

With the digital "wisdom eye", according to the operating conditions of the engine and the inertia of the vehicle's driving area, Foton Cummins also "upgrades" the vehicle's engine in combination with different road conditions such as mountainous areas and national roads to achieve lower fuel consumption.

  In the Beijing pile machine factory of Sany Heavy Industry, a huge electronic display screen is eye-catching. On the screen, digital systems such as "C-terminal interconnection", "three current data", "equipment interconnection", "lighthouse real scene" and "smart products" are connected in series. All aspects of manufacturing, business management and supply sales.

Each link is unique. For example, on the C-terminal client equipment big data management platform, the online quantity of equipment produced by the factory, the total daily working hours, the trend of equipment operating rate, and the trend of equipment fuel consumption are clear at a glance.

Big data can even be accurate to the situation of each device, service order number, status, on-site service time, etc., clearly.

  These data contain rich information. For example, according to the operating time and start-up of equipment in various application scenarios, the development trend and overall trend of mechanical engineering-related industries can be judged. Shrinkage”, Wu Zhijie, manufacturing director of Beijing Sany Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd., told the Beiqing Daily reporter that the machinery industry is cyclical and needs insight into market trends.

Relying on the "wisdom eye" of big data, the decision makers of the lighthouse factory can adjust the production plan of the next stage in time to better respond to the market demand.

  Innovate, speed up, and ensure smooth lighthouse factory "three measures" to ensure supply chain

  During the current round of the epidemic, Sany Heavy Industry Beijing pile machine factory has maintained continuous production lines, making important contributions to safeguarding the industrial chain and supply chain.

Wu Zhijie told the Beiqing Daily reporter that recently, affected by the epidemic, Beijing's industrial economy has encountered some difficulties. The lighthouse factory actively responded to it and took three measures. One is to shorten the production cycle. In the case of ensuring quality, we will further increase productivity and shorten the production cycle.” In this way, the product reserve is sufficient, eliminating the worry of “cutting supply” of upstream and downstream enterprises; the second is to stimulate demand through innovation.

The lighthouse factory actively cooperates with relevant universities to increase research and development efforts, and develops a variety of new products during the current round of the epidemic. The sales momentum is good, ensuring a virtuous circle of the industry chain; the third is to actively connect with relevant departments to ensure smooth access.

Wu Zhijie introduced that during the epidemic, relevant government departments also took the initiative to understand the logistics obstacles and other difficulties they encountered in a timely manner, and timely connected with other provinces and cities to escort the continuous production line of the lighthouse factory.

  With these three "magic weapons", the factory guarantees continuous production. Wu Zhijie has not had a weekend off for a month. He told the Beijing Youth Daily reporter: "The leading enterprise is a business card in the industry, which has a driving and radiation effect. , If the leading enterprises do not work hard to find ways to ensure production, and do not invest human and material resources in innovation, small enterprises in the upstream and downstream may lose confidence, and then shrink, cut production capacity, and even lay off employees, thus affecting the entire industrial chain and supply chain. balance."

  dialogue

  Lighthouse Factory provides rich application scenarios for technology research and development

  Dialogue: Wu Zhijie, Manufacturing Director of Beijing Sany Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd.

  Beiqing Daily: Sany Heavy Industry Beijing pile machine factory is the first certified lighthouse factory in the global heavy industry industry. What was the driving force behind the construction of the lighthouse factory?

  Wu Zhijie: For our common mobile phones and computers, a brand may mainly have a few products, and the output of each product is very high.

However, as heavy equipment, the production mode of piling machinery belongs to typical discrete manufacturing, with multiple varieties and small batches, which is determined by actual needs. For example, drill pipes are used for high-speed rail bridge construction and high-rise construction. Different scenarios have different performance requirements. Are not the same.

The equipment is large, heavy and long, but requires high precision, which requires the production link to be digitized to meet different needs.

In addition, construction machinery products are highly cyclical, and it is necessary to gain insight into market trends in order to respond to changes in a timely manner, which relies on big data.

To build a lighthouse factory, it is necessary to rely on technological empowerment, technological innovation, and improvement of production levels.

  Beiqing Daily: Lighthouse Factory represents the highest level of intelligent manufacturing and digitalization in the global manufacturing field today.

What are the highlights of Sany Heavy Industry's Beijing pile driver factory's intelligence and digitization?

How's the effect?

  Wu Zhijie: For example, the drill pipe we produce needs to be welded with super-thick steel plates, which requires very high welding technology. It used to rely on labor. Only the masters with 20 to 30 years of work experience in the whole factory are capable. The experience of the craftsman is parameterized, copied to the special software, automatically welded, and the output is fixed.

It used to weld two products a day, but now the welding robot can weld 10 products a day.

  Beiqing Daily: Innovation is the engine for the development of the capital. How to understand the role of a specialized, specialized and new enterprise like the Lighthouse Factory as an "engine" in its development?

  Wu Zhijie: As a technology-driven enterprise, Dengta Factory attracts 50 to 60 R&D personnel every year, many of them from universities in Beijing. It can be said that it has reserved relevant talents for the construction of science and technology innovation center in Beijing.

At the same time, we invest heavily in research and development, and usually cooperate with many scientific research institutions in Beijing, which opens up the links of production, education and research, and provides rich application scenarios for technology research and development in universities.

For example, we found in practice that some drill pipes are easy to crack, so we did stress analysis together with relevant university research and development institutions, and conducted in-depth research and optimization from the aspects of mechanics and materials science.

Product quality has been improved, research and development technology has also been expanded, and all aspects of production, education and research have been organically integrated and complemented each other.

  In addition, the new technologies developed by us can be applied in the upstream and downstream industries. For example, one of our drill pipes, after technological innovation, the service life has been increased from 2,000 hours to 5,000 hours, and the product quality has been improved. Enterprises do not have the ability and resources to develop this technology, which promotes the improvement of quality and efficiency of the entire industry and upstream and downstream enterprises.

That is to empower the entire industry, so that it can enjoy the dividends of technological innovation, improve production efficiency and product quality, and promote the technological accumulation and innovative development of the entire industry.

Our "smart manufacturing" can also reduce the labor cost of the entire industry. Our factory has only more than 300 workers.

  Memory

  Innovative economic categories have become an important support for supply chain resilience

  Beiqing Daily reporter learned that as of the end of March 2022, the city has cultivated and certified 3,370 municipal-level "specialized, specialized, and new" small and medium-sized enterprises, 1,141 municipal-level specialized, specialized, and new "little giant" enterprises, and national-level specialized, specialized, and specialized enterprises. There are 257 new "little giant" enterprises and 20 "hidden champion" enterprises.

In addition, 2 companies were selected into the list of "lighthouse factories" in the global manufacturing sector.

These invisible champions, little giants, and lighthouse factories are all important supports for a strong supply chain and an important force to keep the supply chain uninterrupted.

  Beijing has taken multiple measures to escort the development of innovative economic categories.

At the policy level, the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Development of "Specialized, Specialized and New" Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in Beijing" and "Several Measures of Beijing on Promoting the High-Quality Development of "Specialized, Specialized and New" Small and Medium-sized Enterprises" were issued to promote the development of specialized, refined and new enterprises. On the booster; focus on building a "pyramid-shaped" echelon cultivation system for "specialized, specialized, and new" enterprises to form a rolling development and echelon training pattern; in the financial sector, implement the "Fun Rong Project" for small and medium-sized enterprises, and include "specialized, specialized, and new" enterprises. credit green channel, etc.

Through this set of "combination punches", the development foundation of these innovative economic categories is more stable, and the resilience of the supply chain in the capital has more stamina.

  According to reports, the city has "back-ups" to ensure the stability of the industrial chain and supply chain. According to the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, there are more than 2,000 projects over 100 million yuan in the city's major investment project reserve, and the total project investment has increased by nearly 7,000 yuan over the same period last year. It has formed a rolling succession mechanism of "planning a batch, reserve a batch, start a batch, and put a batch into production", which strongly supports the smooth operation of the city's investment.
