On April 13, the inaugural meeting of Intelligent Manufacturing Alliance of iron and steel industry and the Forum on digital transformation of iron and steel industry were held in Guangzhou. Jiang Wei, deputy secretary of the Party committee of China Iron and Steel Industry Association, said at the forum that in the past 10 years, iron and steel enterprises have continuously invested a lot of resources, the automation level of production process has been significantly improved, large enterprises have basically completed the construction of basic automation process control, enterprise management and other information systems, and the digitalization and intellectualization of the whole process of the whole industry has been significantly improved, which has become an important part of China's industrial field The vanguard of the integration of industrialization and industrialization.
Wang Guodong, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering; Li Shiping, President and Deputy Secretary of the Party committee of China Baowu Zhongnan iron and Steel Co., Ltd., deputy representative of the 13th National People's Congress; Gan Xiaobin, director of the Standards Department of the science and Technology Department of the Ministry of industry and information technology; Su Changyong, Deputy Secretary General of the Steel Association and party secretary and President of the metallurgical industry press; Huang Dao, Deputy Secretary General of the Steel Association; party secretary and President of the Metallurgical Industry Information Standards Research Institute Zhang Longqiang, Deputy Secretary General of Zhongguancun Information Technology and real economy integration development alliance Chen Xi and other guests attended the meeting. Jiang Wei, Li Shiping, Gan Xiaobin and Zhang Longqiang addressed the conference. Jiang Shangqing, director of science, technology and environmental protection department of the Steel Association, and Fu Xinfeng, director of the Department, presided over the morning and afternoon meetings respectively.
Huang Dao announced the formal establishment of Intelligent Manufacturing Alliance in iron and steel industry. By a show of hands on the spot, the meeting approved the preliminary meeting, the articles of association of the alliance and the candidates for the chairman, executive vice chairman, vice chairman, director and secretary general.
The iron and steel industry intelligent manufacturing alliance is jointly established by the iron and Steel Association, relevant iron and steel enterprises and professional technical service institutions. It is composed of 93 iron and steel enterprises, 19 scientific research institutions, 88 intelligent manufacturing suppliers and 6 social groups. It aims to speed up the promotion of intelligent manufacturing of iron and steel enterprises, build an upstream and downstream collaborative innovation ecosystem, and promote the high-quality development of the iron and steel industry.
Jiang Wei pointed out in his speech: "the iron and steel industry has not stagnated on the basis of meeting the demand of quantity, but has continued to develop towards high quality, especially in informatization and automation, which has entered a new stage of independent innovation and research and development." In recent years, the iron and steel industry has seized the opportunity of industrial revolution brought by the new generation of information technology to accelerate the layout of intelligent iron and steel manufacturing. A large number of new technologies, such as industrial robots, unmanned vehicles, unmanned locomotives, unmanned warehouses, unmanned inspection, unmanned detection, industrial Internet and other intelligent manufacturing technologies, have been applied in the industry, and the level of large-scale and small batch customized production has been gradually improved, Informatization and digitization strongly support the optimization of organizational structure, improve the level of China's steel production and operation, and enhance the competitiveness of the whole industry. For example, Baowu, Shagang and other enterprises have established "black light factory" and "intelligent workshop". Baowu Shaoguan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. carried out the whole process resource allocation from the point, line and surface of intelligent manufacturing, promoted process reengineering and organizational change, broke the organizational boundary of workshop operation area, cancelled the establishment of branch plant through the vertical and horizontal integration of process operation area, reduced the number of operation area by 60%, and reduced the number of operation posts by 40%, and completed the transformation from functional organization to process organization The transformation of organizational structure has effectively improved the operational efficiency and management efficiency of the organization.
At the same time, Jiang Wei also pointed out the main problems of intelligent manufacturing industry: the standardization degree of intelligent equipment is not high, the systematicness of information data is poor, the R & D and application of common technologies of intelligent manufacturing is not enough, the application value of industrial big data is not fully exploited, the combination of new information technology and iron and steel production and operation is not enough, and so on. He said that there is a huge space for improving the input-output benefits of Intelligent Manufacturing in the whole industry.
Jiang Wei said that the establishment of the alliance will always adhere to the fundamental purpose of intelligent manufacturing progress in the service industry, the basic principle of win-win cooperation among all parties in the service alliance, and focus on strengthening organization construction, actively exploring the establishment of common R & D and application platform mechanism of intelligent manufacturing. Through the efforts of members and directors of the alliance, the iron and steel industry intelligent manufacturing alliance will play a positive role in the transformation and upgrading and high-quality development of the industry, and become an important support for the intelligent manufacturing of the iron and steel industry.
Wang Guodong, Chen Xi and Lu Xueyun, chief engineer of China Baowu Zhongnan iron and Steel Co., Ltd., made wonderful reports at the Forum on digital transformation of iron and steel industry. Wang Guodong suggested that the innovation of iron and steel materials must use new tools of data science and intelligent computing to mine new rules of production, so as to better guide production and operation. He hoped that interdisciplinary, industry collaboration and deep integration of industry, University and research would accelerate the digital transformation and intelligent development of the iron and steel industry, and build an intelligent manufacturing demonstration line in iron and steel enterprises as soon as possible.
The conference was sponsored by China Iron and Steel Association, undertaken by metallurgical industry information standard research institute and Metallurgical Science and technology development center, and co sponsored by China Baowu Zhongnan iron and Steel Co., Ltd. The 13th five year scientific and technological innovation achievements exhibition of China's iron and steel industry (Zhongnan iron and steel Station) was also held at the same time. More than 300 guests from 206 units including iron and steel enterprises, scientific research institutes, university social organizations and intelligent manufacturing solution suppliers attended the meeting.
