What is the charm of the "lighthouse factory"?

Produced | NetEase News

Introduction: At the World Economic Forum last year, China Qingdao Brewery was rated as the world's first "Lighthouse Factory" in the beverage industry, and became one of the 69 members of the global lighthouse network. Since then, people have once again set the target to the "Lighthouse Factory" unique in the fourth industrial revolution. In this column content manufacturing, Jun will take everyone to know the lighthouse factory and appreciate the unique charm of the lighthouse factories at home and abroad.

1. The "Lighthouse Factory" that quietly attacks

As we all know, the lighthouse is a building located in the coast, ports or river channels to guide the direction of the ship. It calibrates the port location through its own height and bright lights to help the ship drive in the right direction. And the lighthouse factory, as the name suggests, plays a role similar to the lighthouse. They are regarded as the leader of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. They are the examples of digital and industrial 4.0. Development direction.

The fourth industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, is the concept of Germany at the 2013 Hanover Industrial Expo. People realize that after the world experienced the steam era, the era of power, and informatization, it is entering a more intelligent era. The key technologies involved include cloud computing, artificial intelligence, quantum technology, 3D printing, 5G, etc. Essence The core of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is the interconnection of intelligent manufacturing and everything, and the lighthouse factory is the product and outstanding practitioner of the fourth industrial revolution.

The lighthouse factory was selected by the Davos World Economic Forum and the McKinsey Consulting Company. The main criteria for judging are the achievements made by the factory in using the fourth industrial revolution technology to improve economic and operating benefits. Since the first batch of nine lighthouse factories announced in 2018, the scale of the lighthouse network has gradually expanded to 69 members. The goal of building a global lighthouse network is to share the best practical experience, provide a platform for replication and promotion, and create opportunities for cross -corporate learning and collaboration, so that the global manufacturing industry can fully learn the advanced technologies of the fourth industrial revolution and make common progress.

2. Local lighthouse factories create "smart interconnection" to achieve China's intelligence manufacturing

Data show that there are 21 lighthouse factories in China, accounting for 34%of the total number of lighthouse factories in the world, far exceeding other countries (7 lighthouse factories in the United States). Among these 21 lighthouse factories, 11 factories belong to Chinese companies, including Haier (2 factories), Midea (2 factories), Foxconn (2 factories), Qingdao Beer, SAIC Chase, Baosteel, Weichai Power Power And Alibaba.

Taking Haier as an example, after being founded in 1984, it is committed to working with the world's first -class ecological partners to continue to build high -end brands and build a Internet of Things ecosystem such as clothing, food, food, accommodation medical education. On June 21, 2021, Brandz's most valuable global brand list was announced in Cannes. Haier was on the list for three consecutive years with the only IoT ecological brand in the world. The brand value increased by 41%compared with last year.

Haier Central Air Conditioning Factory

This is the first local company in China to enter the lighthouse network. Its central air -conditioning interconnection factory in Qingdao was selected as the first batch of lighthouse factories in September 2018. This is also its eighth smart interconnection factory in the world.

The smart interconnection of the central air -conditioning interconnection plant is reflected in its customized platform through the factory, so that customers can put forward their own needs and ideas, and interact with the designer in real time, which is equivalent to the user's participation in the customized design process of the product. In addition, users can see the entire process of production, manufacturing and testing on the platform, and the production process is transparent. In addition, when the user starts to use the product, the workers of the factory can monitor the operating status of the product and equipment, and issue early warning for the product failure to ensure the stable operation of the product to the greatest extent. The cloud laboratory of the interconnection factory also realizes the interconnection of suppliers, factories, and R & D centers, improving production efficiency while ensuring product quality.

All in all, the interconnected factory innovatively adopts a all -ecological interconnection system based on modularity, automation, digitalization, and intelligence, including internal and external interconnection, information interconnection and virtual and real interconnection. There are more than 10,000 sensors on the production line. These sensors can be achieved. The mutual dialogue and communication between products, equipment, and users is the reason why it is rated as a lighthouse factory.

3. How to revitalize the new wave of the 100 -year -old winery in automation+big data?

The Qingdao Brewery has a long history of brewing manufacturing. Its predecessor was the German and British businessmen in 1903, the German -German beer company Qingdao Co., Ltd., which was founded in Qingdao. To this day, the brand value of Tsingtao Beer has reached 179.3 billion yuan, ranking leading in the Chinese beer industry for 17 consecutive years, and ranked among the top 500 in the world. Last year, the "118 -year -old age" Qingdao Brewery was rejuvenated in the wave of the fourth industrial revolution. It was selected as members of the latest batch of lighthouse factories and the world's first lighthouse factory in the beer beverage industry.

The introduction of artificial intelligence and big data analysis technology solves the pain points of artificial wine testing. In the original artificial alcoholic process, wine test workers need to focus on each bottle of beer at all. In this way, on the one hand, the efficiency is low, labor costs are high, and the error rate is high. Especially in workers for a long time After work. After introducing the technologies such as magnetic floating motors and high -precision positioning in the community, the machine can accurately identify the defect beer on the high -speed production line of 60 bottles of beer per second, which has greatly achieved the cost reduction and efficiency in the process of alcohol inspection. Essence Secondly, Qingdao Brewery has also introduced advanced packaging equipment in the beer packaging process. It has realized intelligence and automation through data -driven technology. Now employees only need to perform simple interface operations on the device to easily complete the packaging task. The efficiency of the entire production line was improved by 30%.

In addition, data -driven technology has played an important role in packaging customization and production organizations, allowing the data elements in the production process to fully flow, and the traditional industrial production process has changed deeply. The Ecological Platform of the "People Unit One" is an industrial Internet platform with China's independent intellectual property rights. It provides enterprises with intelligent transformation and upgrading solutions, and jointly creates a new IoT ecosystem that creates a co -creation and sharing and future -oriented IoT. Such an industrial interconnection "incubator" will promote the continued breaking of China's local lighthouse factories.

Cosmopla platform

Dalang Tao Sand, the fourth industrial revolution is both an opportunity and a challenge for enterprises. Recently, in the environment of dual carbon policy and the inflation of the international economic market, those manufacturers with high -tech and high value -added can survive, and those companies with high energy consumption, low output value, and only expand their capacity to maintain profits will be Stepping up.

Conclusion:

Intelligent transformation is no longer an option for enterprises, but a must. I believe that more Chinese companies can seize opportunities, face challenges, and dare to use early in exchange for long -term transformation, becoming the tide of the fourth industrial revolution. The wave of four industrial revolution is even more turbulent in China.
