In the factory area of Weihai Zhongbo Coated Glass Co., Ltd., climbing up the iron ladder, the heat wave in the kiln and the "ready" silica sand raw materials on the conveyor belt.. It forms a hotter production scene than scorching sun. At about 10 o'clock
on March 1, the reporter saw the first piece of glass coming out of the second line of Weihai Zhongbo Float, which marked that the second line of Weihai Zhongbo Float, which invested 220 million yuan to upgrade and transform, was successfully offline and achieved mass production. When the news of the
successful production came, the people of China and Bolivia cheered for it. Wang Qitao, director of the second-line workshop of the float, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tight lips showed a smile. This also means that Weihai Zhongbo's first intelligent, high-end and digital production line is officially "on-line".
The city's conference on promoting high-quality development of industrial economy put forward the idea of "adhering to the development direction of high-end, intelligent, green and cluster". As the main backbone enterprise of the national glass industry, Weihai Zhongbo regards intelligent transformation as the main line of enterprise development. The production of this production line has opened a new door for the high-quality development of enterprises.
"The peak pressure of the furnace is controlled at 60 Pa." "The temperature at the feed point rises by another liter." "The edge roller goes in and controls the pressing distance." …… At 8:30 a.m. on the same day, when the reporter walked into the central control room next to the production workshop, the letters and numbers on the large screen jumped and changed from time to time. Wang Qitao sat in front of the computer and issued instructions and adjusted parameters according to the real-time data collected by the intelligent factory management system, so as to prepare for the successful production of the second float line, such as melting, forming and annealing.
According to Wang Qitao, the network information platform for the new application of float second-line can achieve the first insight into the working status of the whole production line without leaving home. "Big data and cloud computing make the production line more intelligent, digital and modern, and every process of the production line is automated or semi-automated, which can save 30% of the labor cost." Wang Qitao said.
Intelligent transformation not only reduces labor costs, but also improves the efficiency of production lines. After the second float line project was put into operation, the actual production capacity was greatly increased compared with the existing production capacity.
"Look at this machine. What's the difference between it and what we've seen before?" Pointing to the new "baby" in front of him, Wang Qitao could not help saying that they had invested 2 million yuan in eight new fully automatic hanging edge rollers, which were more automated and intelligent than traditional floor edge rollers operated manually, and that the daily output of glass would increase from 9000 heavy boxes to 10000 heavy boxes. The difference between the second line of
float and the traditional line is not only the degree of automation and capacity, but also the green and low carbon. The biggest highlight of
this upgrade is the use of double-row bubbling gun melting technology for the first time, which not only improves product quality, but also reduces energy consumption. The energy consumption per kilogram of glass produced will be less than 600 joules, and the thermal energy consumption will be reduced by about 8%. What
does it mean? "For enterprises, it can reduce costs and increase profits; for Weihai, it can save energy for more product projects, and help China's glass to build a green low-carbon manufacturing in the whole life cycle." Wang Qitao said.
It adopts the core technology of domestic leading high-end high-quality float glass and online coated glass production, configures stacking robot, automatic batching system, automatic edge roller and data acquisition intelligent factory management system, and builds a network information platform. In this transformation and upgrading, Weihai Zhongbo has achieved the goal of improving the level of digital-real integration and opened a new mode of intelligent manufacturing. At 4 P. M.
on the same day, qualified finished glass was produced smoothly, and the production line will be used to produce high value-added color glass. "After the production line is put into operation, the annual output can reach 3.3 million heavy boxes and the industrial output value can reach more than 300 million yuan." Wang Qitao expressed his confidence.
