Recently, the 13th Supply Chain/Procurement/Manufacturing Innovation Summit, sponsored by ACE Supply Chain Innovation and co-sponsored by Shanghai Supply Chain Development Promotion Association and European Buyers Academy, was held in Shanghai. Rockwell Automation won the “China Supply Chain Sustainability Pioneer of the Year” award for its outstanding performance and local practices in smart manufacturing, green technology and supply chain layout. At the same time, Shi An, president of Rockwell Automation (China) Co., Ltd. won the title of “China Supply Chain Innovation Pioneer of the Year”.
“Based on multiple dimensions of innovation, customer power, differentiation and brand power, the two awards are recognition of our breakthroughs and contributions in reshaping the sustainable supply chain system.” Shi An said, “Rockwell Automation has always upheld the sustainable development SEEE value of Safety, Energy saving, Environmental protection and Efficiency, and actively shared practical experience conducive to sustainable development with Chinese partners.” In addition, through deepening local market cooperation, combined with our automation, digital and intelligent technology advantages, Rockwell Automation will continue to drive upstream and downstream partners in the supply chain to achieve carbon neutrality and industrial chain transformation and upgrading goals.”
As one of the world’s leading companies in the field of industrial automation, informatization and digital transformation, Rockwell Automation is now fully leveraging its technological advantages in the field of green manufacturing to promote the creation of a “net zero supply chain.” By creating a “net zero supply chain” backbone, Rockwell Automation will fully drive the role of the head chain owner, and with the systematic empowerment of the full life cycle service, promote itself and China’s local ecological partners to better sustainable development. This year, Rockwell Automation has opened the practice of “net zero supply chain” in the mining field of the Chinese market – Diqing Nonferrous Metal smart mine construction cooperation project.
Diqing Nonferrous Metals is a leading technology enterprise in the field of mining and mining subdivision of high-altitude mines in China. In order to deepen and upgrade the operational level of important power equipment, such as equipment management, energy management, predictive analysis, remote diagnosis and maintenance, management Kanji board, and carbon emission accounting, and accelerate the construction of “first-class green smart mine” in October 2021, Diqing Nonferrous and Rockwell Automation signed a smart mine construction cooperation agreement, and officially entered the implementation phase this year. In summary, after the project is officially put into operation, Rockwell automation’s safe and efficient solution is expected to improve the reliability of Diqing’s equipment by 30%, reduce the maintenance cost by 20%, improve the operation and maintenance efficiency by 30%, and reduce the spare parts inventory by 25%, so as to realize the intelligent operation and maintenance transformation of high efficiency and low energy consumption.
With the increasing emphasis on green and high-quality development in China, the goal of “carbon neutrality” is becoming an important reference standard for technological innovation and research and development in many industries. “Having been in the Chinese market for more than 30 years, we have witnessed that more and more local partners are facing similar challenges to Diqing Colored, and have put forward requirements for their own sustainable development.” Shi An said, “Toward the era of ‘carbon neutrality’, Rockwell Automation will continue to combine its rich experience in sustainable development and the strength of intelligent manufacturing technology, and join hands with all partners of industry, university and research to gather wisdom and wisdom, and jointly create a mutually beneficial and win-win green manufacturing ecosystem, and fully promote the green high-quality development and cross-border innovation of various industries, and jointly move toward a net zero future.”
