Robots work together in harmony to move parts in an orderly manner; intelligent robotic arms swing up and down to accurately complete each set process; AGV carts shuttle back and forth to efficiently complete each transportation… These high-tech intelligent manufacturing scenes are not in science fiction movies, but are actually staged in the Sinotruk Intelligent Factory.
This super factory, which embodies high-end manufacturing wisdom, redefines the “craftsman spirit” of the manufacturing industry with a professional, rigorous and reliable working method, and writes a legend of transformation from “traditional manufacturing” to “super intelligent manufacturing”.
Efficiency “Model Worker”: Intelligence Leads to a Leap in Production
Walking into the Sinotruk smart factory is like stepping into a precisely operated “future workshop”. The overall design adopts a unique matrix layout, and the intelligent system is highly coordinated to ensure the perfect execution of each process with unparalleled accuracy and stability. Its welding workshop contains 2 flexible automated body welding production lines, shouldering the heavy responsibility of producing 100,000 heavy truck cab bodies per year! On the busy and orderly production line, 223 robots realize the automation of assembly, welding, gluing and other processes, and the automation rate of welding points reaches 100%. Each process is carefully designed and accurately executed to ensure excellent product quality.
Nowadays, intelligent manufacturing has completely changed all aspects of production and manufacturing. The traditional workshops with flying sparks and bustling noises have become history. Manpower has been replaced by efficient and precise intelligent manufacturing systems. The entire welding workshop only needs 5 workers to manage it. Compared with the old welding workshop, the number of employees is only one eightieth of the past. The entire workshop has 38 complex processes, and it only takes 2.5 hours from a part to a car head, which has achieved a huge leap in productivity. The “Made in China? New Model Worker” is indeed worthy of its reputation!
Smart “Model Workers”: Let every link have a “digital brain”
In the final assembly workshop, intelligent production is also amazing. AGV cars shuttle freely in the workshop like intelligent porters according to the system instructions. They can drive automatically, automatically identify directions and routes, and automatically stop and avoid obstacles when encountering obstacles, ensuring the smoothness and safety of the production process. These cars can not only charge while moving, but also have a high degree of flexibility and adaptability, injecting vitality into the efficient operation of the production line.
The wisdom of the factory is not only reflected in the production line, but also permeates the entire production management system. The intelligent manufacturing platform independently developed by Sinotruk integrates data from six modules, including planning, production, process, and quality. It can monitor the operating status of equipment, key quality information, and the completion of production plans in real time, realizing transparent and intelligent management of the entire production process, ensuring that every link is under control. As the core of this intelligent management system, the central control system is like a “smart brain” that can instantly feedback the efficiency and potential problems of the production link. It not only provides accurate data support for production decisions, but also takes a solid step towards digital transformation.
In the Sinotruk smart factory, the “new model worker” redefines industrial manufacturing efficiency with intelligence as the core, allowing every production link to burst with wisdom. This intelligent manufacturing revolution set off by science and technology has not only reshaped the quality height of heavy-duty truck manufacturing, but also outlined a clear trajectory for Sinotruk to move to the center of the world stage.
