From parts to new cars
Robots have become the "protagonists" of intelligent manufacturing
The flexible and intelligent robotic arm is constantly flying
Multiple automated processes are in order
The black light factory transforms tens of thousands of scattered parts into gorgeous ones
Brand new smart cars have been built in this way
It's not sci-fi**
It's Geely's CMA "black light factory" in Xi'an
It's full of futurism.
It's no longer the future.
It's all around us!
So. A black light factory, as the name suggests, refers to a factory that is able to operate autonomously in a dark environment. This kind of factory realizes automated production, intelligent management, and digital decision-making through the use of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence under the intervention of no one or lights. The emergence of the black light factory marks that the manufacturing industry has entered a new era.
Of course, the black light is also a reference, not that the light is not turned on completely, but that it is truly automatic, less and unmanned, and more intelligent and efficient. The connotation of "black light factory" is far more than just the literal one, which not only means a green and energy-saving operation mode, but also a systematic innovation that subverts the traditional production management model.
Overall, the Black Light Factory uses automated production lines that enable fine operations and a high degree of consistency, resulting in improved product quality. There is no need for manual intervention in the production process, which reduces production accidents and product defect rates. Thanks to the extensive use of sensors and data analytics, companies can monitor product quality in real-time and identify and resolve issues in a timely manner. At the same time, due to the realization of intelligent management, production planning and logistics distribution are more accurate, and production efficiency is greatly improved.
In addition, the black light factory can produce continuously unattended, which saves a lot of labor costs. Through digital decision-making, companies can accurately grasp market demand and production status, avoid inventory overstock and waste, and thus reduce operating costs.
With the continuous development of technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence, the application scope of black light factories will become more and more extensive. In the future, black light factories will not only be used in the manufacturing field, but may also be expanded to other industries such as agriculture, medical care, and logistics. In addition, the black light factory will continue to optimize and upgrade to achieve more intelligent and efficient production and management.
In Baosteel, there is a group of robot "employees" named "Baoluo".
They are the nicknames of Baowu Group's industrial robots.
The 3D positions of "dirty", "difficult" and "dangerous" are gradually handed over to "Baoluo".
Safe and comfortable.
Empty driving, six-in-one operation room, digitized steel coils, tireless robots...
It is worthy of Baowu, which represents the highest level of Chinese steel.
Here, the mission of unmanned driving must be achieved.
Automatic rolling, unwinding, stacking, rewinding.
Each coil can reach its own position precisely.
LiDAR, wireless data transmission, Internet of Things, etc.
IntelliSense technology.
Get out of the way in the dark.
I can pass through "the darkness in front of you", too
According to the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Intelligent Manufacturing", by 2025, manufacturing enterprises above designated size will basically popularize digitalization, and backbone enterprises in key industries will initially achieve intelligent transformation. It is necessary to build more than 2,000 new technology application intelligent scenarios, more than 1,000 intelligent workshops, and more than 100 benchmark smart factories that lead the development of the industry. By 2035, manufacturing enterprises above designated size will fully popularize digitalization.
Restrained, boring, repetitive, and heavy, it is synonymous with the work of front-line workers. It has become an indisputable fact that it is difficult to recruit front-line workers, especially young people, who are reluctant to enter factories.
This is still the case today. On April 16, 2021, Liu Aihua, spokesperson of the National Bureau of Statistics and director of the Department of Comprehensive Statistics of the National Economy, announced a set of data at a press conference: In 20212, the number of migrant workers in China's rural areas was 1More than 700 million people, a decrease of more than 2 million people from the same period in 2019, and many enterprises in coastal industrial and foreign trade provinces generally report that there is a problem of difficulty in recruiting workers.
It is foreseeable that the "black light factory" will become the trend of the future manufacturing industry, which will greatly reduce the input of labor costs and greatly improve the production efficiency and production efficiency. Due to the use of many highly automated equipment, technologies, and processes, the automated production line in this type of factory.
Basically, "all year round", there is no need for human intervention in the production process.
Left labor-intensive, dangerous positions.
In the intelligent industrial era, compound talents are more needed
When the production mode is gradually intelligent and digital, it will alleviate the problems of labor shortage and high labor cost caused by the aging of the population, the traditional inefficient production mode will be gradually eliminated, and the original work paradigm of workers will be changed. This will inevitably reduce the demand for low-skilled labor, and at the same time increase the thirst for high-skilled compound talents, forcing the in-depth adjustment of the quality structure of the labor force.
Obviously, the impact of a black light factory on the workforce is twofold. On the one hand, it reduces the need for a large number of basic labor, but at the same time, it also puts forward higher requirements for labor skills; On the other hand, it improves the working environment, increases the efficiency of the workforce, promotes the transformation of the workforce, and provides more employment opportunities and development space for the workforce.
We believe that with the deepening of industrialization, the blue-collar workers of the new era will become a more respected existence.
