News:In the new journey of high-quality development, the town and village economy and urban development once again took up the banner of reform and stood on the front line. As an important industrial city in the Pearl River Delta, Zhongshan's special "city-town" administrative system endows its towns and streets with richer and more representative values and meanings. From now on, "Nanfang Daily · Zhongshan Observation" will launch a series of reports on "Energy and High-quality Development of Zhongshan Town Front-Line Observation". Through visiting high-tech zones, new towns and new districts, and major industrial towns, we can see the transformation and upgrading of Zhongshan towns and streets, and the practice of reform and breaking through barriers.
Walking into Wistron's Zhongshan factory, the workshop only hears the sound of machines, and few people are seen: products "flow" at high speed on the assembly line, and automatic handling robots rhythmically distribute materials for more than 20 production lines...
Through the digital transformation of the entire value chain, Wistron Zhongshan Factory has increased the production capacity per unit hour by 43%, and reduced the unit production cost by 22%. One of the Lighthouse Factory".
"Lighthouse Factory" is known as "the most advanced factory in the world", representing the highest level of intelligent manufacturing and digitalization in the global manufacturing industry today. With the advent of the digital economy era, as the "main engine" of innovation in the city, the manufacturing industry in the Torch Development Zone is accelerating digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading. The continuous emergence of "lighthouse factories" and "cloud factories" is the best proof. According to the plan, the Torch Development Zone plans to add more than 70 digital transformation of designated industrial enterprises throughout the year, and add more than 24 new designated industrial enterprises with a digital level evaluation of level three or above, to comprehensively promote enterprises and major industrial clusters in the zone Carry out digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading.
Whole-process digital transformation
"Lighthouse Factory" opens up the "end-to-end" value chain
In the first-floor warehouse of Wistron Zhongshan No. 3 Factory, no lights need to be turned on no matter it is day or night. In this dark intelligent three-dimensional "lights off warehouse", various management data can be seen at a glance on an electronic screen.
Xiong Hua, manager of the logistics management department of the third factory, said that behind the screen is a complete set of mature digital management system, which can monitor the warehouse in real time, including the progress of material preparation, storage location, status of unmanned forklifts, emergency warning, etc., and monitor the entry and exit of the warehouse at any time The material in and out of the warehouse.
There are a total of 1,818 storage spaces in this "lights-off warehouse". Through unmanned forklifts and the introduction of laser positioning technology, the integration of "receipt, delivery, storage, and accounting" of raw materials has been realized, and operating costs have been reduced by 26%.
Similar digital and intelligent production application scenarios have covered the entire chain of enterprise production and manufacturing.
Peng Jingtian, Manager of the Digital Transformation Department of Wistron No. 1 Factory, pointed to a testing equipment in front of him and said that in the past, workers judged by naked eyes based on experience, and would experience visual fatigue after a long time. The development model of part characteristics and quality requirements and the use of AI algorithms allow the system to judge by itself, which not only greatly improves the efficiency, but also greatly improves the accuracy.
Some changes are also taking place in every fine link of production and sales.
Intelligent order scheduling is Wistron's "innovative approach" based on market changes. It achieves second-level response to customer orders with optimal inventory and minimum cost.
"When encountering an urgent order, the system can respond in time and dynamically adjust the order of material delivery; when encountering a shortage of materials, the system will issue an early warning to remind you to replenish materials in time." Zou Xia, manager of the production and sales management department of Wistron (Zhongshan) Co., Ltd. It said that after the intelligent production scheduling system was put into use, the average delivery time of customer orders of Wistron Information Communication (Zhongshan) Co., Ltd. dropped from 71.5 hours to 45.8 hours.
