On April 25, China Cement Network successfully held the "Fourth China Cement Intelligent Summit Forum". With the theme of "Exploring the Way of Intelligent Manufacturing and Building Intelligent Factories", the leaders of cement enterprises, industry associations, technical specialist and representatives of equipment manufacturers participated in the conference to discuss the intelligent transformation of the cement industry under the new situation.
At the meeting, Wang Li, Vice General Manager of Hangzhou Concrete Technology Co., Ltd., delivered a report entitled "industrial Internet platform Solutions for Cement Industry". In his sharing, he said that the digital transformation of enterprises has generally entered the stage of comprehensive promotion, and by 2025, 100 demonstration projects of intelligent manufacturing will be built in the building materials industry, 10 benchmarking enterprises of intelligent manufacturing, and no less than 2 industrial Internet platform. Industrial Internet platform has brought help to the cement industry in many aspects, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Optimizing the production process: industrial Internet platform can realize the real-time monitoring and optimization of the whole process of cement production through the application of intelligent modules such as integrated production management, quality management and energy management. For example, Xinyun Zhilian, in cooperation with Shanya Southern Cement , uses three-dimensional modeling technology to build a digital factory, presents real-time production and operation data, realizes real-time analysis of key data and rapid response to decision-making, and greatly shortens the original 2-hour ore detection process to 20 minutes. Production cost
reduction: Through accurate energy consumption measurement and systematic statistical analysis, industrial Internet platform can help cement enterprises understand the proportion of energy consumption and the law of energy consumption, so as to scientifically plan energy consumption and reduce energy costs. At the same time, with the help of intelligent dispatching, automatic ore blending and other systems, it can reduce manpower dependence and transportation costs. With the help of industrial Internet platform, the overall energy consumption per unit product of Shanya Southern Cement decreased by 6.8%, and the manufacturing cost of products decreased by 14.29%.
Improve product quality: The quality management module of the industrial Internet platform can realize the closed-loop management of the whole process of all kinds of quality inspection business from raw materials and auxiliary materials entering the factory to cement leaving the factory. Through the functions of standardized quality inspection model, automated equipment data acquisition and human-computer collaboration, the accuracy and timeliness of quality data are ensured, and the raw material ratio is optimized and the product quality is improved by combining data analysis and AI algorithm. For example, the intelligent quality management solution of Xinyun Zhilian in the cement industry can increase the 28-day strength of clinker in the cement industry by 1-2MPa.
Improve management efficiency: The industrial Internet platform adopts the "cloud edge" collaborative architecture to provide digital services to different levels of the group, regions and factories, realizing visual analysis and benchmarking of management domains such as finance, production, quality and marketing, and assisting in the formulation of lean measures. At the same time, through the establishment of a unified data access standard and model, break the data island, achieve business collaboration, and improve the overall management efficiency of cement enterprises.
Promote energy conservation and emission reduction: The industrial Internet platform can monitor the environmental indicators in the cement production process in real time, such as waste gas and waste water discharge, and realize energy conservation and emission reduction by optimizing the production process and energy management. With the help of industrial Internet platform, Shanya Southern Cement has achieved green upgrading, and its practice of "recovering green while mining" has achieved remarkable results, which provides an example for the sustainable development of the cement industry.
Promote business innovation: industrial Internet platform provides the cement industry with the foundation and environment for innovation. Through data-driven and business collaboration, enterprises can explore new business models and application scenarios. For example, based on the data assets of the platform, cement enterprises can carry out innovative business such as personalized customization and supply chain collaboration to enhance the competitiveness and innovation ability of enterprises.
Finally, Wang Li concluded that industrial Internet platform has brought all-round improvement and change to the cement industry, from production efficiency, cost control to management decision-making, green low-carbon development, innovation and progress, all of which provide strong support for the digital transformation and sustainable development of cement enterprises, and empower the cement industry from multiple dimensions.
