"The factory is fully automated, and the normal production site does not require employees to contact the production line." On March 24, Wuhan Industrial Technology Reform Demonstration Site Promotion Meeting Intelligent Special Event entered Corning Display Technology (Wuhan) Co., Ltd. (Hereinafter referred to as "Corning Wuhan Factory"). When introducing the intelligent construction of the factory, the relevant person in charge of Wuhan Corning Factory said: "Using the power of data has thoroughly improved production efficiency."
Corning, the world's largest precision glass substrate manufacturer
in Wuhan, is an innovative enterprise in the field of material science, which was founded in 1851 and headquartered in the United States. In May
2018, Corning entered the Wuhan market. In 2021, Corning Wuhan Factory achieved mass production, with the production capacity of the whole process of melting, forming and post-processing, "where Corning produces the world's largest 10.5 generation display glass substrate".
Simply put, the higher the generation, the larger the size. As consumer demand for large-size display applications grows, large-size glass substrates contribute to the manufacturing of large-size TVs. The rapid development of digital economy and electronic consumer market has continuously driven the development of display panel industry. By 2022, the annual production capacity of display panels in China will reach 200 million square meters, ranking first in the world.
"The 10.5 generation glass substrate is larger than two king size double mattresses, while the thickness is as thin as a business card." According to the relevant person in charge of Wuhan Corning Factory, thanks to Corning's patented "fusion pull-down" process, the length and width of 10.5 generation glass substrates produced by Corning Wuhan Factory are 3370 mm and 2940 mm respectively. As far as the common TV size on the market is concerned, a glass substrate can be cut into eight 65-inch panels or six 75-inch panels. "This size provides the most economical cutting method, and the utilization rate of a single glass substrate can reach 96%.".
Build an "intelligent pyramid" to let "no one on the production line"
enter the Wuhan factory that produces "Corning's largest glass substrate in the world", but there is no operator beside the production line. It's all done by automated equipment. When asked, workers only need to be in the control center to operate and monitor the production process remotely. How did
such "unmanned production line" come into being? On the scene of the meeting, the head of the technical department of Corning Wuhan Factory shared the "intelligent pyramid" of the factory.
The first layer is the full automation of production and processing, through the programmed control design, the application of a large number of automation equipment to achieve the precision of the production process and "unmanned". The next layer is the real-time monitoring of the whole production information, through the real-time automatic collection of production process data, not only real-time monitoring of production line abnormalities, but also through the dynamic database to achieve risk prediction and analysis. The application of
artificial intelligence is located at the top of the "intelligent pyramid". Through the establishment of database and model, artificial intelligence realizes intelligent early warning function in deep learning, and is applied to image recognition system to quickly identify minor defects. "Our products should be delivered to customers 100% without impurities, dust and defects.".
