The industrial Internet, supported by digital technology, promotes the efficient flow of production factors such as data and provides more support for enterprises to carry out product innovation, business model innovation and technological innovation

In line with the general trend of economic and social digital transformation, promoting the scientific and efficient digital transformation of enterprises in traditional industries is crucial to stimulate the vitality of business entities, shape new competitive advantages, and achieve high-quality development

Although the screw is insignificant, it is an indispensable industrial necessity. Small to the daily use of watches and mobile phones, to the speed of the car high-speed rail, travel in space spacecraft, everywhere without its figure.

Screws, scientific name fasteners, as one of the most basic and most common mechanical parts, is widely used in engineering construction, automobile manufacturing, energy machinery, aerospace and other industries, known as “industrial rice”. China is a big producer of “industrial rice”.

In recent years, with the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, the downstream industry for high strength, high performance, high precision, high value-added fasteners demand is growing, the past low technology content, low quality, low added value, weak brand development mode is difficult to sustain, fastener industry upgrading quality is the trend of The Times. Digital technology and intelligent manufacturing have become a breakthrough for many enterprises.

Digital transformation promotes enterprise management upgrading. Yongnian District, Handan, Hebei Province, a professional production of drilling screw products fastener enterprises, focus on creating high-end digital, green workshop, crack the cost of rising, uneven product quality and other problems. In a fastener company in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, a height of 24 meters, covering an area of about 4,000 square meters of three-dimensional warehouse, warehousing delivery, inventory, clearance and other steps have been automated, filling a standard container only 25 minutes, loading efficiency increased by 30%. The integration of digital technology into business management can be used to optimize business operations in a digital way, thereby increasing efficiency.

Intelligent manufacturing helps enterprise efficiency change. In the workshop of a new energy technology company in Hunan, a robot with extended “arms” has replaced the manual, orderly tempering heat treatment, hot forging, machining, surface treatment and other operations on the production line, so that the processing time of the embedded screw sleeve is reduced by 70% and the output is increased by 72%. With the support of the intelligent manufacturing system covering the whole process of R & D design, procurement and supply, planning and scheduling, production operations, quality control, enterprise management, warehousing and logistics, the company has achieved innovation and breakthroughs in a series of products from single products to multiple segments, among which the market share of wind power embedded screw sets ranks first in the world. The use of digital technology can improve the production efficiency of traditional industries and is a good starting point for supply-side structural reform.

Industrial Internet applications enable quick connections between upstream and downstream enterprises in the supply chain. The fastener industry industrial Internet platform was established in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, providing digital factory solutions for the fastener industry, opening up the enterprise “inner chain” of intelligent interconnection of human, machine, material, law and environment and the “outer chain” of network sharing and intelligent collaboration of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, helping enterprises to break data barriers, open up information islands, and improve research and development efficiency. The industrial Internet, supported by digital technology, promotes the efficient flow of production factors such as data and provides more support for enterprises to carry out product innovation, business model innovation and technological innovation.

The transformation of the screw industry is an epitome of China’s traditional manufacturing industry embracing digitalization. In line with the general trend of economic and social digital transformation, promoting the scientific and efficient digital transformation of enterprises in traditional industries is crucial to stimulate the vitality of business entities, shape new competitive advantages, and achieve high-quality development.

With the rapid development of high-end industries such as aerospace and major equipment manufacturing, high-end fasteners have broad market prospects. Facing challenges, seizing opportunities and innovating, small screws can also gain a firm foothold in the fierce market competition and occupy an advantage, becoming a typical example of traditional industries moving toward high-end, intelligent and green development.
