Light 5G in the lighthouse factory, the Ningde Times explores the road in China Intelligent Manufacturing

The acceleration of the digital economy has hatched many new species and new formats, and the "lighthouse factory" is one of them. The lighthouse factory represents the highest level of digitalization in the global manufacturing field. It refers to the first large -scale adoption of advanced technologies. It has excellent innovative factories in terms of business processes, management, industrial Internet, data systems, and green environmental protection. "World Frontier Technology Development Report 2021" shows that the number of "lighthouse factories" in China leads the world. This leading advantage is related to my country's advantages in new infrastructure such as 5G, AI, and cloud computing.

In the past few years, China has built the largest 5G network in the world, and has been at the forefront of the world in terms of technology, standards, applications, and business models. In each "lighthouse factory", the 5G network can be seen. From the core links such as R & D, design, manufacturing, quality testing, failure operation and maintenance, logistics transportation, safety management, and park management, it has all covered.

On the other hand, the transformation and upgrading of China's industry and the continuous advancement of intelligent manufacturing are also making new requirements for 5G.

At present, there are many categories of manufacturing in my country, and the production activities, industry characteristics, and digital foundations of different industries and enterprises are different. The demand for 5G networks also has a strong personalized color. This means that 5G must support the digital transformation of the manufacturing field. It cannot take the road of the public network. It needs to be flexibly customized for the characteristics of the enterprise. From the core network to the application of continuous innovation, to create a 5G special network to meet the differentiated needs of customers in different industries. According to GlobalData data, the manufacturing industry accounts for almost 5G and special network deployment. From this perspective, China will give birth to more "lighthouse factories" in the future.

The 5G special network is still in the early stages. What industrial scenarios are played in which industrial scenarios and how to drive the comprehensive improvement of the corporate value chain is to be continuously explored and practiced. At this time, the 5G special network case of some demonstration benchmarking significance can not only reflect the common problems of some industrial fields, but also based on the large -scale and high requirements of the leading sheep enterprise, continue to invest in 5G application innovation, and continue to break through continuously The technical ceiling, so as to provide other industrial enterprises with some copied and reference experience, is a very meaningful reference. The Ningde era was one of them.

As the world's largest power battery company, the Ningde era has attracted much attention in the capital market in recent years. It is unknown that its exploration in the manufacturing field is also very advanced. In September 2021, the Ningde Times Factory was rated as the global "Lighthouse Factory" by the World Economic Forum. At the same time, Ningde Times was also one of the earliest companies in China to explore industry 5G practice. "Factory" achieved the largest 5G network in the country, involving the full coverage of 5G networks of 47 factories in the 47 bases in 6 provinces. Based on this, it promoted 5G++extreme manufacturing aimed at zero defects.

Obviously, Ningde Times united China Mobile and Huawei's 5G special network practice, which has industry demonstration value. Let's see how the 5G special network is exuding a lighthouse -like light on the high ground of the leader from the rapid growth of the Ningde era, and it will light up a lighthouse, and to illuminate the definitance for more companies.

Standing on the highland: the extreme challenge brought by extreme manufacturing

The significance of the leader's demonstration is that the pain points that need to be solved are also very challenging. Taking Ningde Times as an example, the concept of "extreme manufacturing" was proposed in 2020, and the introduction of the seven intelligent manufacturing enable technology (A-artificial intelligence, B-big data, C-cloud computing, D-digital twin, E-edge of the seven intelligent manufacturing enables technology (A-artificial intelligence, B-big data, C-cloud computing, D-digital twin, E-edge Calculation, F-radio frequency technology, G-5G) have established an extreme manufacturing architecture to support the "high quality requirements, extremely complex process processes, and extremely fast production speed." Among them, 5G has become the base of the limit manufacturing of Ningde Times with the characteristics of high bandwidth, low latency, and wide connection.

In this 5G factory construction, some "special requirements" were proposed:

First, the breadth and depth of 5G applications. As a well -known multinational enterprise in China's new energy manufacturing, the requirements for 5G special networks are wide and deep. On the one hand, the production line of the factory area is distributed across the country and even the world, and 5G covers a wide range of production demands for the future cross -plant production line. On the other hand, 5G must open up production factors, support industrial coordinated manufacturing, and 22 business with high value business with 22 businesses. Scenes are deeply integrated, such as R & D, production, manufacturing, and sales. This requires a 5G special network that seamlessly connect, efficient interoperability, unified operation and maintenance management, real -time data interaction, and flexible business scenarios.

Secondly, there is a contradiction between high growth and carbon reduction. The dual carbon strategy is both an opportunity and a challenge for the Ningde era. Opportunities are electrification and new energy to bring high -speed growth for it. At the same time, manufacturing will inevitably bring energy consumption and carbon footprints. How to find a enterprise to find an enterprise The new path of growth and carbon reduction targets is the focus of attention in Ningde Times. The proposal of extreme manufacturing is to achieve the balance of growth and carbon reduction through energy efficiency improvement. Higher, updated requirements.

In addition, the complexity and value of 5G applications are released. 5G's imagination in industrial manufacturing and many application scenarios. This is an important feature of 5G empowering the Industrial Internet and making the market more complicated. The 5G industry applications present the characteristics of "fragmentation". Therefore Designed in accordance with the overall solution, the 5G special network can truly cut into the core link, promote digital and intelligent upgrades, and release the value of data and technology. In Ningde Times, it hopes that through the 5G special network, it will effectively promote the reduction of costs and efficiency of enterprises, and achieve product defect PPM → PPB three quantitative declines. Based on this goal, it is necessary to plan for planning, comprehensive deployment, and fully release technical potential to truly serve business value. It can be found that the bottleneck encountered in the field of intelligent manufacturing was also the actual needs of all industrial enterprises after the development of all industrial enterprises, seeking greater growth opportunities, and a customized 5G base is indispensable.

Lighting the lighthouse: What is the difference between 5G in the Ningde era?

With the support of China Mobile and Huawei, the Ningde era built the largest 5G enterprise special network in the country. So, how did the Ningde era light up 5G in the lighthouse factory?

The first step is system planning. Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste. In the construction of 5G special networks in Ningde Times, China Mobile, Huawei and other partners fully coordinated, combined with digital experience and advanced technological achievements, systematically designed.

First of all, for the characteristics of the Ningde era, a 5G nationwide network was planned to achieve 47 factories in 6 provinces including Shanghai, Guangzhou, Zhaoqing, Guangdong, Jiangsu Puyang, Sichuan Chengdu, Yibin, Sichuan, and Qinghai to achieve the full 5G network. Cover to realize the interoperability of multi -factory areas. Such a 5G special network must require advanced and forward -looking technical support. At this time, Huawei ’s original 5G edge computing high -reliable solution kite M -type solution provides a guarantee for the security and reliability of this 5G special network. The wide and deep application scenarios also brought some difficulties to operation and maintenance management. The entire solution was planned in advance. For the first time, a national 5G special network management platform was introduced to achieve comprehensive operation and maintenance from the network to the terminal.

Step 2, actual construction. In actual construction, some details will inevitably encounter some details. For example, the 5G+MEC special network of multi -provincial factories in Ningde Times has realized the opening of the dedicated network data. The advantage is that the new function of the same manufacturer can be upgraded simultaneously to the country. Delays, the business data of multiple factory areas is possible, and it is possible to cooperate more efficiently. Fasting faults and handling, shortening the cycle of artificial business trips.

And such a national network also faces some extreme challenges in actual operation.

One of the challenges, once the extreme situation of large network interruption occurs, it is also necessary to ensure the normal operation of the production system. Readers know that the basic networking function of the Internet must be cool, but the local cache file (edge ​​side) can still be accessed normally. In the 5G special network solution of the Ningde Times, Huawei's "UPF Kite Kite "Plan", through the 5G core network center with the edge UPF disaster tolerance, innovatively deploy the emergency control surface in the park, and synchronize the real -time data with the central network. After the interruption of the central network, the local network can seamlessly take over the business and automatically automatically take over the business. Switch to the 5G special network emergency disaster control surface to ensure the normal operation of the key production system of the enterprise. At the same time, the "UPF Kite Plan" adopts the edge integrated delivery mode, that is, plug -in, can be deployed in one -click, and can be opened in 2 hours. Essence

The second challenge is to manage the national scale of 5G enterprises, involving multiple links such as network ports, equipment management, fault monitoring, etc., and cannot add additional operation and maintenance burden to enterprises. Therefore, in the Ningde Times, in the 5G special network solution, the 5G TOB dedicated network self -management system was introduced for the first time, which can provide one -stop unified management services. On the one hand, the visualization of the park network is realized, and abnormal identification and monitoring of business experience; at the same time, through tools such as simulation and testing, comprehensive fixed bounds, the platform can quickly manage and set the boundary of network equipment. Automation greatly reduces operation and maintenance pressure.

It is not difficult to find that supporting the national 5G network of 5G in the country is the escort of a variety of advanced ICT technologies behind it.

The third step is to be released. No matter how good 5G is, in the final analysis, it is just a means. The essence is to help enterprises improve quality reduction and efficiency, and transform technology into real business value. Simply put, through the data infrastructure of a 5G nationwide network in the Ningde Times, the digital connection of the factory has been completed. On this basis, the technical synergy is synonymous, the number of intelligence upgrades accelerates, and then releases two major values:

The first is intelligence. Through the full connection of production data through 5G support, AI technology can be fully applied to comprehensively, in -depth, and coordinated to make the factory smarter.

For example, with the maturity of machine vision technology and the popularization of terminal equipment, the AI ​​quality inspection has become the standard of many factories, but the traditional camera installation methods have many points, long distance, high deployment costs, low flexibility, plus plus, plus plus 4G upload bandwidth is limited, and it is difficult to support multi -high -definition videos. This has caused the machine vision to be deployed on the production line. It cannot reach the extremely high precision required for lean manufacturing, and it is difficult to fully release the technical value of the machine vision. On the one hand, the Ningde Times was based on the 5G special network. On the one hand, the problems of the machine visual equipment were avoided, limited, and poor flexibility. Through the intelligent transformation of wireless transmission, it can quickly configure the machine visual camera equipment. Affected, the deployment cost and maintenance cost of machine vision in the factory area have been reduced; on the other hand, during the high -speed operation of some production lines, the machine vision equipment is required to control delay during data collection, transmission, and analysis. Traditional wired networks and WIFI are difficult to meet. 5G's large bandwidth, low latency, and high reliability can well support the Wisdom Federation of Wisdom, realize the rapid decision of business and cameras, combined with real -time analysis and calculation of the cloud to meet the machine vision in lean manufacturing in lean manufacturing Agile real -time demand. At present, 5G has been integrated with multiple manufacturing scenarios in Ningde era, including 5G fault diagnosis, quality testing, remote management, warehousing logistics, intelligent inspection, predictive maintenance, etc. Towards the integration of multi -business, help the extreme intelligent manufacturing of Ningde era.

The second is green. With the landing of 5G in the business scenario of Ningde Times, it has promoted enterprises to further save energy and reduce emission reduction, and better manage carbon footprints.

For example, in a full -connected factory, IoT devices can collect energy consumption information in real time, and then use the AI ​​algorithm for energy saving planning to find the most efficient energy consumption solution; for example, 5G support AR remote management, equipment maintenance, training, etc. Activities can be completed remotely through AR glasses. It is no longer necessary to manually travel to guide, which not only improves the efficiency of work, but also reduces carbon emissions brought by travel.

As a business covering globalization, the Ningde era needs to meet the dual carbon targets in various regions. The green production supported by 5G is of far -reaching significance for the long -term sustainable development of the enterprise.

After the above trilogy, this largest 5G network in the country was gradually lit in the Ningde Times "Lighthouse Factory", and it also illuminated the front road for China.

Zhaoqian Road: 5G special network revelation of Ningde Times

In recent years, there have been endless cases of 5G industry applications, but in general, the 5G+Industrial Internet is still in the test and exploration stage. This is because the industrial Internet is facing thousands of industries. Essence

The Ningde Times provided a way to break through the barriers, that is, lighting the lighthouse, let 5G cross the gap like lights to illuminate the road:

The dedicated network model breaks through the barriers of the industry. Some 5G+industrial Internet applications are still at the shallow level and are not completely embedded in the process of industrial manufacturing management. Insufficient breadth and depth have caused 5G to be unable to fully play the huge effect of technology in industrial manufacturing scenarios. The 5G professional network is a user -oriented, and the characteristics of the vertical industry are constructed. The targeted landing enterprise production link can meet the differentiated needs and key pain points of the industry, and become a break point for 5G+Industrial Internet.

Ecological cooperation, break product barriers. In recent years, operators at home and abroad have provided services around 5G special networks. According to market research companies ABI Research, 5G special network expenditures will exceed 5G public networks by 2036. However, the 5G special network is not only connected, but also the comprehensive consideration and deep integration of comprehensive considerations such as calculation, intelligence, and low -carbon, which brings comprehensive benefits to customers, and requires ecological cooperation, rather than solo. In -depth cooperation of industrial partners such as China Mobile, Huawei, Ningde Times and other industrial partners, playing a collaborative role in their respective ecosystems is the key to the success of a 5G network in the country.

Full -chain closed loop to eliminate fusion barriers. As the 5G special network shows in the Ningde era, in the 5G+industrial Internet project, the business from the base station to the core network is very diverse. The network construction is only the first step. Based on the full connection, we gather data, incubate intelligence, empowerment applications, and efficient management. This requires providing 5G integrated solutions for industry customers in order to develop greater development space for 5G+Industrial Internet.

In the fourth industrial revolution, the lighthouse factory is a banner of China's intelligent manufacturing, and it has also become the best test ground for 5G+Industrial Internet. The 5G special network exploration of Ningde Times first lights up 5G in a large scale in the lighthouse factory, showing the overall value of the 5G special network to empower the vertical industry.

It is foreseeable that, driven by factors such as policies, markets, and technology, 5G special networks in the field of industrial manufacturing are expected in the future.
