Recently, Xiaojia learned from Fuyao Group (Shanghai) Automobile Glass Co., Ltd., located in Anting Town Digital Automobile Park, that in the upgrading and renovation project of the factory area, the renovation of the automobile laminated glass plant has been basically completed, and the whole renovation will be basically completed in June this year. After the completion of the project, the production capacity can be increased by nearly 50%, the defective rate of products will be reduced, and the energy consumption will be reduced by more than 60%. By then, the market share of Fuyao brand in high-end coated glass will reach 40%.
Fuyao
Group (Shanghai) Auto Glass Co., Ltd., located at 588 yuanfu Road, Anting Town, mainly produces front windshield, rear windshield tempered glass, door glass, triangular window glass and skylight glass. With an annual output of more than 20 million pieces of automotive glass, the company is the main supplier of automotive glass for SAIC Volkswagen, SAIC General Motors, Tesla, Weilai Automobile and other automotive companies, as well as the largest supplier of automotive glass in East China, and plays an important role in the national automotive industry chain.
The enterprise has been put into production in Anting for more than 20 years. In recent years, the enterprise has vigorously promoted the digital and intelligent transformation of the factory, with a total investment of about 380 million yuan, and carried out technological upgrading and transformation in the existing factory buildings. The core of the
upgrading and renovation is to invest in new equipment and renovate equipment in Fuyao Shanghai No.1 Laminated Glass Factory and No.1 and No.2 Tempered Glass Factory, and to upgrade and renovate the existing plant intelligently by adding a new coated glass production line, a fixed panoramic skylight connection line and a large tempering furnace. The automatic connection rate and automatic inspection rate can reach more than 85%. Break the data island, realize the demand of data interconnection, and further promote the construction of intelligent factories. After completion, Fuyao will form upstream and downstream synergies through the supply chain, further expand market demand, improve the quality and output of coated glass, thereby improving efficiency.
According
to Xie Wanhua, head of Fuyao Shanghai Project Promotion, the upgrade and transformation is equivalent to "reshaping" a new factory by adding new equipment, transforming old equipment, adjusting factory space, shortening workshop logistics chain, and increasing safety interconnection and automation links. In addition to the introduction of new production lines, the addition of smart devices has also made production more efficient. "We currently have nearly 200 robotic arms, which can liberate workers from labor-intensive handling work, and 98 workers are no longer engaged in handling work, which will be incorporated into the work of the new production line in the future." Xie Wanhua said, "In the new production line we introduced, there is also an automatic optimization cutting system, which can avoid glass defects. For semi-finished products with more defective boards, the system will automatically optimize the cutting down and return to the furnace to improve the yield.". In terms of space adjustment in the factory area, a clear route has been laid out, laying the foundation for the subsequent unmanned deployment of robots. After the completion of the project in June this year, Fuyao Shanghai Factory will produce about 43.65 million pieces of laminated glass and tempered glass annually, and its production capacity will be greatly increased.
In 2021, Fuyao Group launched the construction of Shanghai 5G Intelligent Factory, promoted the upgrading of production technology and developed high-end product production lines. With the support of Jiading District Economic Commission, the enterprise applied for municipal technological transformation funding. During the epidemic period, the District Economic Commission set up a working group to guide enterprises to maintain normal and orderly closed-loop production and logistics transportation while carrying out epidemic prevention and control work scientifically, so as to ensure that the production of enterprises does not stop and the national automobile supply chain does not stop. Anting Town Enterprise Service Class purchases food materials and epidemic prevention materials for enterprises and delivers them to their doors to ensure the supply of enterprise canteens. After the
epidemic was stabilized, the enterprise service class in Anting Town sent the "New Twelve" industrial support policies to Jiading District to interpret the policies in detail for enterprises. Enterprises seize the opportunity of industrial recovery, further accelerate technological upgrading and increase the annual output of 772000 pieces of professional equipment for flush windows with the support of the regional technological transformation policy in the "New Twelve Articles" policy.
"After the completion of technological upgrading, the output value of the enterprise is expected to reach 2.7 billion yuan, the products will be further improved to high-end and excellent, the automation rate of production process will be improved, and the energy consumption will be reduced." Yu Lin, general manager of the digital automobile park where the enterprise is located, introduced.
On this basis, enterprises will further actively dock with the group to introduce new business sectors, enhance development momentum and boost development confidence. As the earliest city-level industrial park in Anting Town,
Digital Auto Park gathers the world's leading auto parts suppliers such as Anbofu, ZF, Casma, Fuyao and Huizhong, with an annual output value of over 80 billion yuan, which is the "ballast stone" for the economic development of Anting Town. With the accelerated development of the new four modernizations of automobiles, enterprises in the park have grasped the development trend of the industry, carried out digital and intelligent reforms, improved production efficiency and product quality, and achieved high-quality development.
Through in-depth visits and research, providing policy support to help traditional automotive parts enterprises such as Fuyao complete digital and intelligent transformation is one of the measures taken by Anting Town to promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional enterprises and accelerate the development of the new four modernizations of automobiles. Huang Chengchao, director of Anting Town Economic and Trade Office, said: "In recent years, Anting Town head parts enterprises such as Anbofu and ZF have invested more than 100 million yuan annually in transformation and upgrading. We will promote the transformation experience of these leading enterprises, continue to deliver policies and services to the door, accelerate the digital and intelligent transformation of the whole industry, and provide new momentum for high-quality economic development."
