Guided by the Network Communication Bureau of the Central Cyberspace Administration and the Tax Propaganda Center of the State Administration of Taxation, and hosted by the Cyberspace Administration of the Party Committees of 9 provinces and cities including Shandong, the "Decoding the 'Little Giant' - Specialized, Refined, Special, and New Look at China" online themed promotional activity was launched on September 17th in Weihai, and a 5-day centralized interview was conducted in 5 cities including Weihai, Yantai, Weifang, Zibo, and Jinan.

The output value continues to rise, but there are only 42 workers. Over the past three years, Weihai Baowei New Materials invested 520 million yuan to create a "5G+Industrial Internet" intelligent factory based on the design concept of "Industry 4.0". It was selected as a provincial-level intelligent factory, achieving a significant leap from labor-intensive to intelligent manufacturing.

Entering the intelligent factory, robotic arms come into view, busy in their respective positions; Robots shuttle through it from time to time, delivering materials accurately; Countless "spindles" rotate at the same speed, and high-performance carbon fiber composite material "filaments" are slowly drawn into the "weaving machine", ultimately forming rolls of carbon fiber pre impregnated fabric. From airplanes to earphones, carbon fiber pre impregnated fabrics have applications.

Jiang Bo, the general manager of Weihai Baowei New Material Technology Co., Ltd., told reporters that from the entry of materials into the workshop to the storage of finished products, the "dialogue" between machines can be completed. Relying on tens of thousands of sensors as links, the factory utilizes technologies such as the Internet of Things, AI, cloud databases, and 5G to vertically integrate and seamlessly connect industrial big data, achieving truly unmanned operations

Compared to traditional manual production, machine production not only increases efficiency, but also reduces errors to within millimeters, improving quality control. Taking the production of specialized arrow poles for sports events as an example, the errors in weight and straightness need to be controlled within micrometers, which is difficult to complete with manual experience. However, in intelligent factories, with robots that can learn, the product qualification rate continues to increase.

The biggest difference between intelligent manufacturing and automated manufacturing lies in having a 'brain' that can independently learn and think. Robots not only analyze the reasons for failure, but also summarize successful experiences. After creating a nearly perfect arrow shaft, the robot automatically records and accumulates data, and in subsequent production, continuously calculates, adjusts, and improves to achieve overall quality control improvement, and this learning is uninterrupted Of Jiang Bo told Lightning News reporter.

As a leading enterprise in the domestic carbon fiber industry, Baowei New Materials' intelligent factory production model has also set a replicable and promotable industry benchmark for the intelligent development of the carbon fiber industry.

In the era of the Internet, Jiang Bo told reporters that intelligence alone is far from enough. Our factory, also known as a shared factory, relies on 5G technology. No matter where you are in the world, you can remotely control machine equipment with a specific IP address

Only by taking a quick step can we seize opportunities. Now, the second phase of the Baowei New Materials project has started construction. Based on the production of high-performance carbon fiber composite materials in the first phase, the industrial chain has been further extended, and the "Sky Sea" equipment products have been developed and produced, launching a challenge towards the goal of annual sales revenue of 1 billion yuan.

For the future, Jiang Bo expressed the hope of building a super factory. Now we are learning from local machines. In the future, we hope to break down the sharing barriers between machines, let machines learn collectively and mutually, achieve the integration of artificial intelligence, and truly achieve manufacturing intelligence and product digitization
