Manufacturing companies accelerate the realization of intelligent manufacturing by replacing people with machines

In the process of replacing people with machines, improving production and service efficiency is the primary goal of manufacturing enterprises, but they also need to consider the unified planning and construction of smart factories, and the interconnection of information systems such as MES systems, smart warehousing and transportation systems, product traceability systems, and equipment service systems. Otherwise, equipment islands will be formed, and maximum efficiency cannot be achieved. Instead, the problem of a decrease in enterprise production efficiency will occur.

Exploration of Industrial Internet Practice under the "Machine Replacement" Model

The biggest convenience that "machine replacement" brings to manufacturing companies is that it greatly improves their production efficiency and product quality.

Xinpeng Lianzhong realizes intelligent production for medium-sized discrete manufacturing enterprises. By building an online supplier collaboration system, a cloud-based MES system, and replacing welding robots and AGVs on a large scale, and fully promoting mobile applications, the output has increased by 22%, saving 1,095 direct labor, increasing the per capita output value by 79.8%, and reducing the defect rate from 3‰ to 1‰;

Atlantic Group has introduced a series of intelligent equipment in the manufacturing process, including AGV, RGV, mother-and-child shuttle vehicles, campus rail vehicles, pneumatic transport lines, robots, and stereoscopic warehouses. Atlantic Group has basically achieved a 20% increase in R&D cycle, a 20% reduction in inventory, a 2%-3% increase in yield, a 50% reduction in production personnel, and a 20% reduction in energy consumption.

Shuangliang Group has established a smart operation and maintenance platform, combined IoT products with Internet communications and cloud computing technologies, and created a full life cycle service of "experts + housekeepers + Internet". Through remote monitoring , cloud data backup, and big data analysis, it provides predictive equipment diagnosis and analysis, and realizes intelligent remote diagnosis and troubleshooting. Shuangliang has increased its service profit from 2 million yuan to more than 30 million yuan, saving 20%-50% of energy for different users, extending the life of equipment by 5-10 years, and reducing management costs by 15%-30%.

Since 2017, when UFIDA started to deploy the industrial Internet, it has served 460,000 industrial enterprises through UFIDA Jingzhi, covering 39 industrial categories and 18 application fields. The platform integrates 570,000 industrial equipment and 1,949 industrial apps, and has established cooperation with 28 e-commerce platforms, 15 logistics platforms, and 120 financial institutions. At the same time, as one of the top ten cross-industry and cross-field industrial Internet platforms in the country, UFIDA Jingzhi has completed the deployment of regional industrial Internet platforms in five provinces, including Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Guizhou, and Chongqing.

After the impact of the epidemic, the pace of replacing people with machines in manufacturing companies will inevitably be accelerated to improve their production efficiency. At the same time, UFIDA will continue to focus on the industrial Internet to provide a complete "infrastructure" construction and an effective implementation path for the digital and intelligent transformation of manufacturing companies.
