The hanging system and monitoring system move forward orderly, the AGV(intelligent handling robot) car shuttles autonomously, and the mechanical arm swings and turns on the assembly line; The numbers on the screen are bouncing around… When the reporter walked into the flexible production line of Galanz 4.0 digital intelligence Base in Guangdong Province, a dynamic world of digital intelligence was confronted: there were 17 robots in each production line, and a microwave oven cavity could be offline every 6.7 seconds. The production line was controlled digitally by computers, and different production modes could be switched instantaneously.

In recent years, Galanz has made every effort to promote the digital intelligent transformation, accelerating the digital intelligent transformation of the whole industrial chain. All the systems of the enterprise are organically integrated through the digital intelligent, forming an industrial Internet ecology and opening up all links of the manufacturing chain. With the launch of Galanz Group’s new Middle Platform, all kinds of data are connected and circulated with partners and platforms within the enterprise, completing the “key leap” of full-link digitalization. Liang Zhaoxian, chairman and president of Galanz Group, said that Galanz truly realized the data closed loop of the whole industrial chain and supply chain through the series of data between the new middle platform system and the after-sales system and the inventory management system.

“Galanz number intelligence is the market forced enterprises to accelerate the transformation and upgrading.” Liang Zhaoxian said that in the past, from receiving orders to shipping need manual, semi-manual coordination and communication of the workshop departments, unable to quickly respond to the market, coupled with overseas customers personalized demand for batch products more and more detailed, production and operation process is difficult to provide personalized customized services. In recent years, Galanz has seized the opportunity of the Internet, explored the digital transformation, and independently developed the supplier collaboration platform of the supply chain system and the manufacturing execution system. In this process, Galanz through digital empowerment through all links of the industrial chain. It used to take more than 20 days for a microwave oven to finish production from receiving market orders. Now, the process can be shortened to 7 days, with labor efficiency increased by 40% and order delivery time reduced by 67%.

The report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made clear plans for building a modern industrial system, proposed to promote a new type of industrialization, and speed up the building of a strong manufacturing, quality, aerospace, transportation, Internet and digital China. The year 2023 is the first year for the full implementation of the Party’s 20 Spirit. Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and provincial government put forward that the manufacturing industry should take the lead and erect the industrial “backbone” of Guangdong’s modernization at a new height.

Manufacturing is in charge, the number of intelligent is a key move.

As the only pilot city for comprehensive reform of manufacturing transformation and upgrading in China, manufacturing enterprises in Foshan, Guangdong Province, are speeding up their gear shift driven by digital and intelligent transformation. By the end of 2022, Foshan had 194 digital and intelligent demonstration factories and workshops; In Foshan, more than 3,000 of the 9,000 industrial enterprises above designated size have embarked on the road of digital intelligent transformation. In Foshan, the transformation of digital intelligence is no longer a “choice question”, but a “compulsory question” and “urgent question” for more and more manufacturing enterprises. “By 2025, more than 80% of Foshan’s industrial enterprises above designated size will be able to implement digital transformation work, and promote Foshan to become a demonstration city of digital transformation.” Foshan Bureau of Industry and Information Technology chief engineer Chen Zhenhao said.

“We have eight automatic handling robots that can deliver materials in time for more than 20 production lines at the same time.” Peng Jingtian, Manager of Digital Transformation at Wistron Zhongshan Factory, a new global “lighthouse factory”. In Wistron’s huge factory, there are only a few workers operating automation equipment. The automatic and intelligent management mode has completely changed the past production mode. New automated detection equipment combined with AI technology not only improves efficiency, but also significantly improves accuracy.

“Zhongshan will firmly implement the ‘manufacturing industry taking charge’, resolutely win the battle of transformation of inefficient industrial parks, support the development of manufacturing industry, promote industrial investment growth of 60% this year, promote the digital transformation and upgrading of 500 enterprises, improve quality and efficiency.” Guo Wenhai, Party chief of Zhongshan, said at the Guangdong High-quality Development Conference.

Starting from 2022, the financial department of Zhongshan will spend 5 billion yuan in 5 years to support the all-round digital intelligent transformation of enterprises. By 2022, nearly 600 industrial enterprises above designated size in Zhongshan have realized digital transformation, leading more than 3,000 enterprises to use cloud platforms.

Guangdong Province encourages small and medium-sized enterprises in industrial clusters to develop together, supports service providers to take the lead in establishing industrial cluster intelligent transformation consortiums, and creates industrial intelligent transformation solutions. At the same time, it will build a public service platform for digital intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry, increase policy support for digital intelligent service providers, provide enterprises with all-weather and one-stop transformation services, help digital intelligent service providers and manufacturing enterprises achieve accurate connection, and offer suggestions for the digital intelligent transformation of enterprises.

In recent years, Guangdong has made great efforts to accelerate the digital transformation of leading manufacturing enterprises, and supported Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan and Dongguan in building themselves into demonstration cities for the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry. Solid progress has been made in building a strong manufacturing province. Up to now, Guangdong has promoted the digital transformation of 22,500 industrial enterprises above designated size, and driven 700,000 small and medium-sized enterprises to “go to the cloud and use the cloud”. The scale of industrial Internet industry added value ranks first in China. It is expected that by 2025, Guangdong will promote more than 50,000 industrial enterprises above scale to implement digital intelligent transformation by using the new generation of information technology, and drive 1 million enterprises to “go to the cloud and use the cloud” to reduce cost, improve quality and increase efficiency.
