Recently, the Internet Weekly of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, eNet Research Institute, and Deben Consulting jointly released the 2021 China Top 50 Intelligent Manufacturing Enterprises Ranking. Sunward Intelligent was listed on the list with high-end engineering equipment, which further demonstrated its hard-core intelligent manufacturing strength.

Also included in the list are China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, Huawei, BYD, Midea Group, BOE, CRRC, Alibaba Group, DJI, CATL and other well-known domestic companies.

Focus on smart products

Sunward's intelligent manufacturing layout first focuses on intelligent products, including a series of intelligent equipment such as intelligent engineering equipment, unmanned special equipment, and unmanned aviation equipment. Various technologies have always been at the forefront of the industry.

In terms of intelligent technology research on engineering equipment, Sunward Intelligent is the first company in the industry to realize the mass engineering application and sales of remote control excavators, and has led the development and launch of the world's first 5G+ remote control rotary drilling rig and 5G+ intelligent drilling rig. Remote real-time operations can be performed thousands of kilometers away, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent application of 5G technology in more equipment products.

In terms of unmanned technology development, Sunward Intelligence is one of the few companies in China that has both ground unmanned equipment and drone development capabilities. Since 2002, Sunward Intelligence has been developing unmanned aerial vehicles. After nearly 20 years of continuous innovation, it has not only developed a 100kg-class unmanned helicopter, which has broken through Japan's blockade of China in this field, and a 700kg-class ultra-short-term helicopter. Compared with products of the same level, the take-off and landing roll distance is greatly shortened.

In the field of smart mining, Sunward Intelligent integrates smart excavators, smart rock drilling rigs, unmanned mining trucks, crushing and screening equipment, dressing and smelting equipment, and smart mine construction management platforms to provide customers with a complete set of smart mining equipment solutions and realize equipment -Management-service full value chain application.

It is worth mentioning that, in response to the mission requirements of emergency rescue and extremely harsh conditions, Sunward Intelligent has built an "air-ground coordination" emergency rescue system. UAVs undertake tasks such as detection and environmental perception in the air, and unmanned vehicles perform rescue operations on the ground. , material transportation, fire extinguishing, hazardous chemicals disposal operations. At present, this air-ground integrated intelligent emergency rescue system has been successfully applied to emergency rescue application scenarios such as urban and forest fire protection, geological disasters and flood relief, and pollutant disposal.

Establish an intelligent manufacturing model for digital integration of product life cycle

As a high-end equipment manufacturing enterprise, Sunward Intelligent has been accelerating the in-depth integration of new generation information technology and manufacturing. In view of the multi-variety and small-batch characteristics of construction machinery products, it has successfully used 5G, big data, artificial intelligence, digital twin and other technologies to successfully Exploring the "intelligent manufacturing" model of digital integration throughout the product life cycle.

The Xiangyun platform independently developed by Sunward Intelligent was selected as the innovative pilot application case of the industrial Internet platform of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The platform realizes the whole life cycle management of products and the extension of the user value chain, especially the industry-leading construction management platform realizes construction process monitoring, data traceability, and control strategy optimization. , to help construction supervision and improve construction quality.

In terms of intelligent production, Sunward Intelligent has established different production modes for different products, and carried out intelligent production practices. For example, for products such as excavators, which are widely used in various areas, in the manufacturing process of parts, intelligent equipment is used to realize production. Process automation, machine substitution, improve production efficiency. In the establishment of green factories, intelligent production has played a major role. For example, the key structural parts of Sunward excavators such as booms and sticks are the first in the industry to realize the powder spraying process of reciprocating robots, and build China's first fully automatic large-scale structural parts. In the powder spraying production line, the automatic spraying rate is over 90%, the utilization rate of powder paint is nearly 100%, and the VOC emission is reduced by 80%, which greatly reduces the impact of painting on the factory environment.

In addition, Sunward Intelligent has a series of intelligent manufacturing equipment and systems such as domestic advanced intelligent cutting center, MES system, intelligent three-dimensional warehouse, SCADA system, etc., which achieves unmanned operation, equipment operation status visualization and precise control of production cycle. . In order to conduct real-time monitoring, statistical analysis and digital management of the energy consumption of critical and high-energy-consuming equipment in the park, Sunward has built an energy management system to collect and manage energy data for each equipment, making the equipment more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

Next, in the third phase of Shanhe Industrial City, Shanhe Intelligent will rely on the supporting application of information technology. The equipment selection is based on "intelligence", and the production layout adopts various automations such as processing, welding, and painting that can meet mass production. equipment, realize the dual combination of "IT" + "AI", and effectively improve the level of intelligent manufacturing.
