Robot brewing liquor to promote scientific intelligence “private customization”
In the steeping workshop, shirtless men, wielding shovels, work hard… Is this how we imagine a white wine production scene? However, in the liquor production line of Luzhou Zhitong Automation Equipment Co., LTD., which is owned by Beijing Zhitong, there are no traditional brewing workers, replaced by intelligent robots.
Luzhou Zhitong is an intelligent manufacturing enterprise that is DS200SLCCG1AFG committed to the development and application of flexible processing system, automation and intelligent technology, and provides professional intelligent manufacturing system solutions for brewing industry and equipment manufacturing industry. The products mainly cover all the baijiu brewing links such as automatic koji making, moistening grain and mixing grains, mixing grains, retard, steaming wine, picking wine, drying and adding koji, logistics transportation, etc. Customers include Luzhou Laojiao, Gujing Gong Wine, Shuijing Fang, Shide Wine, Jiang Xiaobai and other well-known domestic wine enterprises, the product market share of 35%. In 2020, it won the honorary title of “Little Giant”.
Its research and development of “liquor intelligent brewing system and industrial application”, in the premise of keeping the traditional brewing core process unchanged, the intelligent robot equipment into the liquor brewing process, with high efficiency, stability, standard, intelligent and other characteristics. At present, the scientific and technological achievements have been successfully applied in a number of domestic wine enterprises, and more than 80 intelligent wine production lines have been built.
Since its establishment, the company has applied for and obtained more than 80 invention patents and utility model patents related to liquor brewing, such as “liquor brewing automation system and liquor brewing process”, “grain feeding device”, “retractor device”, and “two-dimensional mixing device”. The company’s winemaking “on-site control system V1.0” and “central control system V1.0” obtained the software copyright registration certificate of the National Copyright Administration, forming a technical accumulation covering the whole process of liquor brewing. In 2019, it was approved to enter the list of “the first batch of intelligent manufacturing system solution suppliers in Sichuan Province”, and it is the only enterprise in the industry that has won the title of “national specialized and special new ‘Little Giant’ enterprise”.
At the same time of continuous development, Luzhou Zhitong also attaches DS200SLCCG1AFG great importance to the recruitment, training and scientific research investment of high-level talents, has the municipal “liquor intelligent brewing equipment engineering technology Research center”, and has established long-term cooperative relations with Fudan University, Sichuan University, Sichuan Light Chemical Engineering University and other domestic colleges and universities, and jointly declared and obtained a number of national and provincial scientific research projects.
