"Ka-ka-ka-ka-......" Entering the intelligent production workshop of Jiangsu Guokai Auto Parts Co., LTD., located in Xinqiao Central Industrial Park, Danbei Town, the first thing you hear is the sound of robot arms and conveyor belts running. The reporter saw at the scene, the large production workshop has less than ten workers in the operation, several intelligent production lines are running at high speed, from assembly, detection to finished product packaging, all automated cycle operation, front-line employees and industrial robots work side by side, employees are responsible for guarding the machine, placing parts, robots are responsible for the various processes on the production line, production processes into a line. Well-organized...... The operation of each machine on the digital large screen above the assembly line is clear at a glance, including the number of production plans, the number of completions, the efficiency and the error rate.
​
Our workers only need to place the car air conditioning parts in an orderly manner, and the rest of the process is completed by machinery. The finished automobile fan is transported by an RGV car from the test point to the packing place, and the workers pack it and then pack it by the machine. It can be said that the workshop technology transformation is equipped with "eyes" and "brains" for the production line, which improves production efficiency and reduces production costs through the introduction of intelligent management. Said Chen Weiguo, general manager of the company. He told reporters that intelligent workshop assembly line is the key technical means that must be selected in modern manufacturing industry. It can not only greatly improve production efficiency and quality, reduce production costs, but also an important way to achieve industrial modernization. Intelligent transformation of automobile manufacturing industry is the trend of The Times.
​
From "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing", Jiangsu Guokai Auto Parts Co., LTD., founded in 2009, is a professional production of automotive air conditioning fan enterprises, with a number of workshops and a variety of products, business scope includes automotive parts, automotive aluminum radiator, fan motor, heater, electric heater, air conditioning equipment manufacturing, processing, etc. In order to further improve productivity and run out of the enterprise "acceleration" in the "digital transformation" runway, in recent years, Guokai Auto Parts Co., Ltd. actively carries out the practice of digital transformation, strives to play the leading, leveraging and empowering role of digital reform, and realizes the wonderful transformation from "+ digital "to" digital +"
​
In the face of intensifying competition in the automotive product industry and lagging traditional management mode, "How to meet dynamic customer needs?" How to deliver on time? "These are the two major development challenges facing Guokai. In order to better serve customers, Guokai took the first step of digital transformation in 2021, the company began to update automation equipment, develop information systems, and transform traditional workshops into digital workshops, achieving the growth of output value and the expansion of the market.
​
"Take automobile air conditioning fans as an example, before, our workshop 15 employees could only do 200 units a day at most." Now, six employees in the workshop can do 1,000 units a day, which is the most obvious change that the intelligent workshop has brought to the enterprise, the efficiency has been improved, and the employees have saved labor, especially the heavy work and hard work have all been replaced by machines. "Said He Hongxia, director of the company's air conditioning workshop. She admitted that the original workshop had cumbersome handling pressure on the original work line, and employees often had to do heavy physical work, which led to the phenomenon of "unable to retain people" in the workshop. Especially by the end of the year, enterprises will face "labor shortage", insufficient workshop personnel and can not recruit people, resulting in customer orders are always unable to complete, seriously restricting the healthy development of enterprises
​
Since the opening of the intelligent workshop, the same capacity, the staff has been reduced by half, the cost has been greatly reduced, and the efficiency and quality have been greatly improved. "In Chen Weiguo's view, the biggest advantage of intelligent workshops is to provide an accurate and perfect data system, which provides a basis and direction for subsequent production improvement and product upgrading." "From the decision to take the" intelligent reform "route three years ago, we eliminated the most original work line and turned it into an assembly line operation, while installing a variety of intelligent display screens, station guns with gas electrization and assembly line precision inspection rooms, effectively reducing the handling pressure of employees. It can be said that intelligence has solved many problems such as "difficult to recruit workers" and "timely delivery". It also makes the production line faster and smarter, which gives us the confidence to win big orders and new projects. "Chen Weiguo said. Today, the workshop staff only need to place the automobile air conditioning parts to the corresponding position, and the intelligent integrated system will automatically install and debug, and display the batch, specification and quantity of materials; When the material is tested and qualified, the handling robot system will automatically identify the model, status and other information of the product, and associate the equipment with the work order, getting rid of the drawbacks of the paper office in the past, and achieving a basis for evidence and rules to follow.
​
"Now our intelligent workshop can be accurate to every station, every process, including an assembly down the beat, so I can accurately tell the customer the delivery time, and it is 100 percent accurate, no accidents." Chen Weiguo said that at present, the company's 900 square meters of dust-free workshop has been completed, and the company will continue to invest in five production lines in 2024, so as to achieve unmanned workshops, and the entire production process will be completed by online robots.
​
The evolution of digital and intelligent automobile production cannot be separated from the strong guidance and support of policies. The New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2021-2035) previously issued by The State Council requires accelerating the development and integration of core industrial software such as intelligent manufacturing simulation, management and control of new energy vehicles, and carrying out intelligent factory and digital workshop application demonstrations to accelerate the promotion and application of product lifecycle collaborative management systems. Support the construction of integrated demonstration platforms for design, manufacturing, and service, and enhance the intelligence level of the whole industrial chain of new energy vehicles.
​
And our province is also actively promoting intelligent automobile production. "Jiangsu Province" 14th Five-Year "New energy Automobile Industry Development Plan" proposed to accelerate the construction of automation, networking, information, intelligent high-level manufacturing workshops. Chen Weiguo said that in the future, with the further development of digital intelligent technology in the country, there will be more and more "black light factories" in the automotive industry, and the automotive industry will also become a leading force in manufacturing intelligence. In his view, intelligence is "quietly" changing each production link, and Danbei manufacturing is turning from "I day" to "new".
​
"In three years, when you walk into our country, you will see a lot of RGV. These RGVS can have a lot of different functions and it can be responsible for reception; Entering the warehouse, you can also see many different RGV cars, which send different materials into the workshop, and move the finished products to the packing area and to the ground pile area. Chen Weiguo said that Guokai will continue to promote the intelligent transformation and upgrading of the automobile industry in our city and contribute to Danyang intelligent manufacturing
​
"Smart workshops" like Guokai are an epitome of high-quality development in our town. Today, intelligent manufacturing is strongly empowering enterprises to digital transformation, accelerating the quality and efficiency of traditional manufacturing, input intelligent power for enterprises, and plug in digital wings.
