"Doing concrete" can also digitize?See how this traditional enterprise transforms

Xinhua News Agency, Chongqing, June 14th: Can "concrete" be digitized? See how this traditional enterprise transforms

Xinhua News Agency reporters Huang Xing and Zhao Xiaoshuai

Use AI machine visual control of concrete quality, concentrated online purchase of large building materials, online order "finding a car", one -click to reach supply chain finance ... Chongqing construction materials logistics Co., Ltd., which mainly produces pre -mixed concrete, continues to start Digital transformation, and its public fish connected cloud platform has become the first national industrial Internet pilot demonstration project identified by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. This company is accelerating the "digital transformation service provider", while achieving its own transformation and development, it has strongly drove the industry's digital transformation.

New "smart manufacturing" of the old industry

When it comes to the concrete industry, people's traditional impression is often dirty and dusty. However, the subsidiary of Chongqing Construction Materials Logistics Co., Ltd., Chongqing Construction Industry Southern Concrete Co., Ltd. at Chongqing Construction Materials Logistics Co., Ltd., is another school: raw materials "one yard" entry, intelligent concrete production, AI camera independent quality inspection, concrete electronic ticket information Tracing ... The wisdom scene is not only there. Entering the company's dispatch center, I saw that all orders, production, quality inspection, logistics and other information were put on a large screen. Production base.

"In the past, the‘ production of roar ’and“ testing 'by the industry ’, and now it has been completely changed!” The person in charge of Chongqing Construction Southern Concrete Co., Ltd. said that in the face of the current market situation of shrinking demand and fierce competition, enterprises have accelerated digitalization. Through access to the industrial Internet platform, the intelligent control of the production process is achieved, and the efficiency and capacity utilization rate of transportation and pumping are greatly improved.

The "weapon" of the new "intelligent manufacturing" of the old industry is the public fish interconnection cloud platform created by Chongqing Construction Materials Logistics Co., Ltd.. It is reported that the platform takes the "Unified Industry Internet Logo+Cloud Platform" as a carrier to enable the concrete industry to realize data -centric process reconstruction, and launch unmanned intelligent delivery system, construction site cloud monitoring system, concrete digital factory system, etc. 10 10 The remaining information system can be applied alone or combined to form a solution.

Zhang Xingli, chairman of Chongqing Construction Materials Logistics Co., Ltd., introduced that in the past three years, the platform operation has driven more than 1,000 enterprises to "Shangyun", interconnected with more than 5,800 industrial chain supply and demand users, and companies connected to the platform generally benefited. Taking centralized procurement as an example, the platform brings together more than 3,000 suppliers. Customers can buy large materials such as cement and steel online, and the purchase cost is reduced by 5%. In terms of transport The pumping efficiency increased by 21%, and the capacity utilization rate increased by 32%.

Focusing on the "ID card" to the concrete product, and to open the industrial chain with a "ID". In recent years, the public fish connected cloud platform has also undertaken the industrial Internet logo analysis of the top node of the national top node (Chongqing) building materials industry. "Make and record, realize the whole process of production, transportation, and pouring, so as to ensure the quality and safety of the building. At present, the cumulative signing volume exceeds 1 billion times and the resolution volume exceeds 1.4 billion times.

In addition, emerging functions such as supply chain finance also accelerate the rich platform content. After the order and business exchanges are left online, the data is true and objective, which can be "increased credit" for small and medium -sized enterprises. At present, SMEs on the public fish connected cloud platform have received more than 30 million yuan in credit chain credit chain.

"Entering" to digital transformation service providers

A few years ago, Chongqing Construction Materials Logistics Co., Ltd. was also a typical traditional enterprise. It sold about 4 million cubic meters of concrete each year with an output value of more than 1 billion yuan.

Although it occupies a certain market share, some problems and "bottlenecks" of traditional industries have always existed. Zhang Xingli said that, for example, the traditional production process of concrete depends mainly on manual cooperation, poor synergy, and high quality control; in addition, pre -mixing concrete has higher requirements for the timeliness of transportation, while the transportation links are mostly artificial orders, low efficiency, route choices are not selected. Do your best. Digital transformation is imperative.

Since 2015, the company has successively developed system modules such as intelligent scheduling and comprehensive information platforms to intelligently upgrade the concrete mixing station, and gradually realize the information interconnection of production organizations, product quality inspections, and dispatching and transportation.

From point to chain, accumulation of less ... With the support of the special funding of the Chongqing SASAC's Innovation and Development Project, in 2019, the company's public fish connected cloud platform was officially launched, becoming the first national industrial Internet pilot demonstration demonstration in my country's concrete industry project.

Shi Congli, deputy general manager of the company, said that the company is currently transforming to digital service providers and supports digital technology to provide digital transformation and resource collaborative services for upstream and downstream enterprises in the concrete industry chain.

To the future with digital "open source throttling"

Since last year, infrastructure, especially the real estate industry, has declined, the demand for concrete has shrunk, overcavation capacity, raw materials price increases, and the concrete industry has faced a lot of pressure. In order to cope with the challenge and the main business of concrete production, Chongqing Construction Materials Logistics Co., Ltd. implements "lean management" from various aspects. For example, in terms of concrete transportation, the cubic meter -kilometer pricing model is innovative. The system can give fine quotations for the difference in transportation distance and the difficulty of pouring. It is expected that this year will save 10 million yuan in freight.

The picture shows a clean and tidy concrete production base. (Photo confession of the enterprise interviewed) The company also plans to carry out the learning ratio of tens of thousands of concrete coordination data accumulated by its own accumulation to create a cooperative model to realize the transition from manual operation to "automation". It is expected to save millions of expenses every year. Yuan.

On the one hand, "throbbing", "open source". At present, the company has accelerated the optimization of intelligent manufacturing software and hardware products to output "digital services". Since this year, sales have exceeded 10 million yuan, which has become a new growth point. In the future, the public fish connected cloud platform will continue to build an open industrial ecological platform. It is estimated that by 2025, the cumulative transaction volume of the Grand Building Materials Trading Platform is expected to exceed 10 billion yuan, and 5,000 small and medium -sized building materials enterprises will be "Shangyun on the platform".

"Digital transformation is a solid foundation for our lean management and production services." Zhang Xingli said that as the building materials industry accelerates the evolution of intelligence and green, leading companies have opened digital transformation, and the industry will accelerate the reshuffle; practice digitalization "internal skills in internal skills ", Will make us more confident in response to future challenges.
