Guangdong Diwei to Build $500M Plant for 50,000 mt Aluminum Extrusions and 5,000 mt Powder Coatings

[ADC12 Daily Price Review: Aluminum Alloy Most-Traded Contract Opens with a Plunge, Lacks Momentum for a Rebound, and Maintains a Sideways Tug-of-War] Under the dual effects of cost support and weak demand, the short-term ADC12 price is expected to continue to move sideways. The market is monitoring the subsequent recovery of end-use demand and changes in raw material prices.

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology unveiled the list of selected typical cases for artificial intelligence applications in 2025. Yunnan Aluminum’s “Green Aluminum Yunhui Jian: AI-Empowered Decision-Making and Intelligent Control Application for Aluminum Electrolysis” was honored on the list. The Green Aluminum Yunhui Jian project closely focused on the core stages of aluminum production, achieving three major core applications: visualization of abnormalities in the furnace cavity shape, analysis and evaluation of cell condition curve anomalies, and process regulation of operating conditions. By deeply integrating AI models with the process control system, the project significantly improved the accuracy of cell condition identification, the foresight of risk judgment, and the capability for coordinated parameter regulation. This transformation has driven the shift in management and control mode from a reliance on expert experience to data- and model-driven assisted decision-making, effectively enhancing the operational stability of electrolytic cells and improving energy conservation and consumption reduction. Looking ahead, Yunnan Aluminum will further deepen the integrated innovation of artificial intelligence across the entire aluminum electrolysis production process and accelerate the promotion and application of mature technologies across multiple production sites.
