Through the integration of 5G, industrial Internet, cloud computing, big data, AI and other digital technologies, Huaxin Cement has constructed a digital architecture system with business intelligence, management intelligence and industrial intelligence as the core, promoted the execution of production level (OT) through intelligent management and operation (IT), and reconstructed the operation mode by using enterprise data assets. Break through the business and management boundaries, realize monitoring and early warning, command and dispatch, form the synergy of horizontal value network, reduce costs and increase efficiency, and make rapid decisions. Industrial intelligence helps traditional enterprises to transform into green and low-carbon enterprises, with coal-fired substitution rate exceeding 40%, comprehensive energy consumption reduced by 4%, and overall international technology.

As a leading enterprise in the building materials industry, Huaxin Cement has always been committed to leading the industry to digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading.

In recent years, Huaxin Cement has vigorously promoted the development strategy of "traditional industry + digital innovation", adhered to independent innovation and control, focused on reducing costs, provention and control risks and improving efficiency around the three closed loops of "industrial intelligence, business intelligence and management intelligence", and made use of the Internet of Things, big data and cloud computing. To create an industry-leading full-process digital intelligent low-carbon factory, to achieve changes and breakthroughs in manufacturing mode, operation mode and decision-making mode. Relying on the digital transformation to reconstruct the strategic growth point, a new core competitiveness based on data-driven is constructed.

With the outstanding performance of digital intelligent transformation, Huaxin Cement has won the first batch of national "digital pilot" enterprises, national intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories, national industrial Internet pilot demonstration projects and other honors.

Huaxin Digital Management and Control Center
