New Breakthrough in Intelligent Manufacturing enabling Digital economy rare Earth High-tech Zone tries its best to create a new "engine" for rare Earth Industry Reform

Published: Mar 14, 2022 15:51

In 2021, the rare earth high-tech zone will accelerate the Internet construction of the rare earth new materials industry, guide more enterprises to the cloud platform by cultivating pilot and demonstration benchmark enterprises, reduce the one-time input cost of enterprise informatization, and realize the digital transformation and upgrading of rare earth enterprises.

It is reported that the rare Earth High-tech Zone issued "opinions on rare Earth High-tech zones promoting the Internet Development of rare Earth New Materials Industry" and "opinions on promoting the Development of Digital economy in rare Earth High-tech zones". It signed a contract with China Unicom Baotou Branch on the "5G Application Cooperation Agreement of Industrial Internet demonstration Industrial Park" to actively explore the construction and operation mode of 5G special network in parks and enterprises. Focus on the rare earth industrial park and rare earth enterprises to carry out comprehensive cooperation in the fields of 5G construction, 5G networking and 5G application scenarios.

The rare earth high-tech zone plans to make every effort to promote more rare earth new materials enterprises to complete the construction of the industrial Internet in one year, and to apply the industrial Internet to the two leading industries of non-ferrous metals and high-end equipment manufacturing in another two years. Finally, the industrial Internet system of industrial enterprises above scale will be fully covered.

For a long time, Instetre has lagged behind in the digital construction of production and management, the management process is full of paper documents, inaccurate product control data, unable to get through the data of various factory systems, and no coordination between the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. In order to effectively solve these problems, Inster has invested 2.6 million of its special funds to vigorously implement the Internet construction of the rare earth new materials industry. The intelligent technical means such as 5G network, installation of sensor equipment and R & D collaborative intelligent platform are used to open up the information chain within the enterprise, the supply chain and the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and to realize the automatic data collection and interconnection of production, inspection, warehousing and other links. The enterprise has the characteristics of "intelligent factory" such as automation of production equipment, platform of public service, transparency of production process, refinement of energy management, standardization of quality inspection management, scientific equipment management, digitization of warehouse management, high efficiency of supply management and visualization of auxiliary decision-making.

At present, Inster has realized automatic production scheduling, saved labor costs, and increased production efficiency by 10%. More than 100 equipment important parameters are collected, monitored and reported abnormally in time, reducing equipment failure rate and improving equipment utilization rate. the service life of the equipment has been increased by 10%; the real-time processing and feedback of quality data has resulted in 100% traceability of finished products and an increase in the rate of quality products from 90% to 95%.

It is reported that through the implementation of the Internet construction of rare earth new materials industry, Inster diluted Magnetic has achieved good results in the construction of "smart factory", and the management has stepped to a new level. In the list of units and excellent scenarios of intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstration factories of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in 2021, the advanced process control of Instagram is among them.
