Trinity "New Quality" Concept | Digital and intelligent transformation, either turn over or overturn!

At present, China is promoting the deep integration of the Internet, big data and artificial intelligence with the real economy, and promoting industrial technological transformation and optimization and upgrading with intelligent manufacturing as the main direction, accelerating the formation of new quality productivity, and moving towards the middle and high end of the global value chain.

From domestic first-class to world-class, Sany Group's "digital intelligence" process is in full swing. In 2018, Chairman Liang Wengen said at the 13th National People's Congress, "Sany's digital transformation will either turn over or overturn!" "The company integrates digital and intelligent construction into various scenarios such as manufacturing, products, and operations, and actively promotes high-end, intelligent, and green industries.

Intelligent factories create industry benchmarks

In 2019, Sany Group decided to build the "No. 18 Plant" located in Changsha Industrial Park into a benchmark for lighthouse factories in the construction machinery industry. However, the parts of the heavy equipment manufacturing industry often weigh several tons, and at the same time have the characteristics of multi-variety and small-batch operations, and it is quite difficult to achieve intelligent manufacturing with fewer people.

Sany has intelligently upgraded the nine major processes of pump truck manufacturing in Factory No. 18, breaking through a number of key technologies such as automatic cutting and cutting, robot welding/group pairing, and the AI intelligent nesting system has increased the average utilization rate of steel in the entire group by 11 percentage points, while the welding robot in the factory can control the weld at the millimeter level.

At the same time, the company has developed a manufacturing operation management platform (MOM) as the core, combined with multiple sets of digital systems such as workshop logistics management system (WMS), production planning system (APS), digital twin, etc., to form the "intelligent brain" of factory manufacturing, and gradually realize the digitalization of the whole process.

Through process intelligence and end-to-end data flow integration, Sany has successfully realized the "three elements" in the production process: computer dynamic decision-making, flexible configuration and precise scheduling of people, machines and materials. This change marks a major leap in the production model, and in Plant 18, mixed production with fewer people has become a reality, and two general assembly lines can carry out mixed and flexible production of 69 products.

The acquisition of massive data also promotes the optimal resource allocation and scientific and rational decision-making in R&D and production management. Factory 18 can generate more than 30TB of big data every day, and through the analysis and utilization of data, the automation rate of Factory 18 is close to 80%, the production capacity is increased by 123%, the personnel efficiency is increased by 98%, and the unit manufacturing cost is reduced by 29%.

Xiang Wenbo, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Sany Group and Chairman of Sany Heavy Industry, said in an interview: "The interconnection of all production equipment has opened a 'black hole' in manufacturing. In the past, as a manager, it was not clear about the utilization efficiency of equipment and the utilization of production capacity, but big data helped us open this 'black hole' and realize the mining of production capacity potential. ”

In 2022, Plant 18 became the second certified lighthouse factory in the global heavy industry industry after Sany Heavy Industry's Beijing Pile Driver Factory. As of June 30 this year, Sany Heavy Industry has completed 33 digital factories and successfully designed and built the industry's first overseas "lighthouse factory" in Indonesia, providing a reference for global manufacturing enterprises in the direction of digital and intelligent development.

On October 8, the world's first lighthouse factory certification in the wind power industry was settled in China's Shaoshan Sany Renewable Energy Blade Factory, realizing a breakthrough in the lighthouse factory in the wind power industry from 0 to 1, and since then, China's wind power blade "intelligent manufacturing" has officially entered a new era.

Intelligent terminal + intelligent operation, products and services have jumped forward

The transformation of construction machinery products to data intelligent terminals is an important part of Sany's digital intelligence strategy. Xiang Wenbo once said: "(The market) demand for electrified products and intelligent products will increase significantly, and the demand for artificial replacement series products will increase significantly, which is the opportunity we want to seize." ”

Relying on advanced technologies such as Internet of Vehicles, artificial intelligence, and big data, Sany has launched a series of intelligent products. In 2024, Sany remote control excavator will be applied to emergency rescue scenarios for the first time, which is expected to greatly improve the flexibility, safety and efficiency of rescue work. One-key hanging and unloading counterweight, variable span, intelligent one-key telescopic arm, etccraneThe launch of intelligent applications amazes customers; The industry's first batch of unmanned electric loaders also came from Sany, and has been delivered to the mixing plant for commercial operation.

In the field of intelligent services, Sany is also in a leading position. Based on intelligent hardware and with machine decision-making algorithms as the core, Sany provides engineering users with real-time interaction and analysis value of data intelligence, creates a smart operation ecosystem covering 20 major construction scenarios, and realizes a new model of one-stop and full-cycle engineering services. In the 2024 Sany Science and Technology Festival Science and Technology Achievement Exhibition, a series of intelligent scene solutions such as smart mines, smart ports, and smart wind farms shined, attracting a large number of scientific and technological workers to watch and exchange.

Digital platforms lead enterprise transformation

In the context of the digital economy, the digital platform has changed the organizational form, business model and resource allocation mode of new enterprises, and effectively promoted the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy.

As a pioneer in the digital transformation of the industry, Sany Group empowers enterprise operation and management with digital intelligence, comprehensively introduces big data and artificial intelligence at the level of organizational form and behavior decision-making, and is committed to realizing unmanned operation and machine decision-making, so as to nurture subversive changes.

At present, Sany Heavy Industry's industrial Internet IoT platform has realized real-time online access of 18,000 devices and 51,000 cameras, integrated collection, aggregation and analysis of massive data, and realized digital twins through modeling, promoting enterprises to improve quality, reduce costs and increase efficiency. In 2023, the energy-saving and consumption-reducing projects carried out in the course of operation will save more than 100 million yuan in energy costs. In addition, in marketing, supply chain management and design, Sany has also introduced intelligent tools to further promote the comprehensive intelligent transformation of enterprises.

Multiply the "number" and move forward towards the "wisdom". Sany Group will continue to increase investment, in order to grow into a platform-based enterprise and ecological enterprise based on the deep integration of Internet, big data and artificial intelligence technology, promote the iteration of product architecture, business model and application scenarios with digital technology, improve total factor productivity, and achieve a leap in productivity!
