Robotic arms are constantly dancing on the production line, AGV logistics trolleys are shuttling back and forth in the workshop, and automatic inspection equipment is “taking photos” of components… Such production scenes are nothing new in Changhong. In recent years, through “intelligent transformation and digital transformation”, Changhong is being “renewed”, and the traditional manufacturing industry has radiated new vitality and vitality.
In recent years, Changhong has been committed to the deep integration of new generation information technology and manufacturing, focusing on the innovation and development of the industrial Internet, focusing on “intelligent transformation to digital transformation” and “digital-real integration” to promote enterprises to become high-end, intelligent and green. Transformation and injecting new vitality into traditional manufacturing.
“In terms of intelligent transformation, Changhong is mainly speeding up the overall speed from the three dimensions of equipment, production lines and factories.” The relevant person in charge of Changhong said, including the three major industrial parks in Mianyang (Changhong Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park, Changhong Mass Entrepreneurship Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park and Changhong Economic Development Zone Industrial Park), Anhui Meiling Industrial Park, Zhejiang Jiaxi Bella Industrial Park Various industrial units in Changhong, including the District, Guangdong Changhong Industrial Park, etc., have continuously increased investment in intelligent equipment, inspection and testing equipment, industrial software, safety improvement and transformation, energy-saving and environmental protection equipment, etc., with more than 100 key construction projects. Covering more than 110 production lines and more than 4,100 sets of equipment and systems.
The changes brought about by these transformations can be truly felt in various factories in Changhong.
When you walk into Changhong Air Conditioning, all production lines are running rapidly. Here, an air conditioner can be produced every 7-8 seconds on average. Behind high efficiency is actually a combination of intelligence, digitization, and automation. Focusing on “Intelligent Transformation and Digital Transformation”, Changhong Air Conditioning has built a park with the technical model of “IE (Industrial Engineering) + IT (Informatization) + AT (Automation) + Advanced Technology”, conducted large-scale self-research and introduced industry-leading production technology, and continued to strengthen With investment in intelligence, it currently has more than 500 units (sets) of industry-leading AT equipment.
Changhong air conditioning production workshopThrough transformation investment and lean improvements in the past three years, the overall automation rate of Changhong air conditioners has increased by 16% cumulatively, and the number of employees in a single shift has been reduced by nearly 200. While increasing investment in intelligent equipment, Changhong Air Conditioning is also actively promoting the introduction of lean production systems. Through “intelligent transformation to digital transformation” and lean improvements, the overall comprehensive production efficiency has been increased by about 50%.
Coming to the intelligent visual image inspection production line of Guangdong Changhong Intelligent Module Manufacturing Factory, each LCD LCM module is passing through the intelligent visual equipment. After automatically completing the image inspection, it is shipped out in sequence and transported to the next process. On the production line signboard on the other side, the production data is constantly beating. According to the relevant person in charge of Guangdong Changhong, here, real-time data interconnection has been achieved in processes such as robot glue spraying, panel visual positioning and assembly, and automatic flipping during the production process.
Now, in Guangdong Changhong Intelligent Module Manufacturing Factory, intelligent equipment such as industrial robots, AOI visual intelligent identification systems, and fully automatic material calling can be seen everywhere. According to reports, from 2020 to 2023, Guangdong Changhong has successively invested more than 40 million yuan to build an intelligent module manufacturing factory, through industrial Internet construction, iterative upgrades of equipment, and the use of ERP, MES, WMS and other software systems at key nodes to carry out digital transformation. The production efficiency of the entire factory increased by 30% year-on-year, the product throughput rate increased by 1.5 percentage points, and the production capacity increased to 10 million units.
In addition, Changhong has not only realized the “intelligent transformation to digital transformation” itself and strengthened network empowerment, but also provided a model for transformation for relevant enterprises across the country. At present, Changhong has provided “intelligent transformation and digital transformation” services to more than 3,000 enterprises.
“Changhong will make every effort to build a 'national digital leading enterprise', accelerate the formation of a batch of replicable and popularizable 'intelligent digital transformation' solutions, play the demonstration and leading role of large state-owned enterprises, and empower thousands of industries in Sichuan, Chongqing and even the country. “The relevant person in charge of Changhong stated that Said that in the future, Changhong will continue to shoulder the glorious mission of “Changhong with science and technology and serve the country with industry”, lay a solid foundation for intelligent transformation and digital transformation, strive to build a “digital pilot” enterprise and a benchmark enterprise for “intelligent transformation and digital transformation”, and contribute to building a strong manufacturing country. Make a contribution to Changhong.
