Opening remarks: After the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Guangdong Province clearly proposed to adhere to the real economy as the foundation and the manufacturing industry as the dominant force. Recently, the conference on accelerating the promotion of new industrialization and high-quality construction of a strong manufacturing province was held in Guangdong. Manufacturing is the core of industry and the “big nose”. How to achieve practical results in industry? Zhongshan has firmly answered the question of digital and intelligent transformation and promoted a new round of technological transformation to achieve phased results. The main indicators of digital transformation are among the best in the Pearl River Delta. In order to further promote Zhongshan’s technological reform and take advantage of the situation, let towns and streets fully play their role as the main battlefield, and let enterprises exert their main force initiative,From now on, this newspaper will launch the column “Resolutely Answer the Questions of Digital and Intelligent Transformation”.
Firmly grasping the manufacturing industry as the core, since last year, the Zhongshan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have allocated 5 billion yuan in real money to support the industrial upgrading of enterprises, with unprecedented policy support. This year, Zhongshan will focus on investing in the “manufacturing industry” and have a “technical reform” policy to add impetus. In addition, “industrial reform” will solve problems for enterprises to increase capital, expand production and expand space. All towns, streets and enterprises will implement a “new round of technological reform”. “As a “must-answer question” for the rapid development of manufacturing enterprises.
At the beginning of this year, Zhongshan’s “Lighthouse Factory” achieved zero breakthrough, and Wistron (Zhongshan) Co., Ltd. became a global “Lighthouse Factory”. According to the Municipal Industry and Information Technology Bureau, currently, a total of 2,759 regulated enterprises in Zhongshan have carried out digital transformation, and the digital transformation rate has reached 56%, ranking among the best among cities in the Pearl River Delta. It has driven 6,200 small, medium and micro enterprises to use cloud platforms. This has also led to high-quality and effective results in Zhongshan’s industrial investment and capital increase and production expansion.In the first nine months of this year, Zhongshan’s industrial investment increased by 47.2% year-on-year, of which investment in industrial technological transformation increased by 45.1%.
With policy support, new factories are equipped with “intelligent brains”
In the newly built factory building of Zhongshan Lanju Daily Chemical Industrial Co., Ltd., workers began to use new equipment for trial production. In the mosquito coil production workshop, Lin Wei, vice president of Lanju Production, told reporters that by building an industrial Internet platform and a central control system, the company can integrate key systems such as production monitoring, energy management, intelligent logistics, and equipment management to achieve three-dimensional visualization of the production process. , intelligence, and an agile production model that integrates grassroots execution improvement, mid-level planning and scheduling, and high-level strategic decision-making.
The “Lanju Smart Factory Project” also innovatively solves core process pain points such as powder bridging, conveying process automation, and dust cleaning, which will effectively improve production efficiency and product quality. After the project is officially put into production, it is expected to reduce the unit energy consumption of the product by 10%, reduce operating costs by 35%, reduce labor by 70%, and increase the annual output value by more than 600 million yuan, making it a leading smart factory in China’s household hygiene and insecticide products industry and even the world.
Listed company Dinggu Incorporated’s latest digital factory, the 4.0 factory, has been put into production as scheduled and is now showing its effectiveness. Five giant blue robotic arms are waving in an orderly manner, placing the plates cut by the processing center on the roller conveyor one by one. Dinggu Incorporated has spent nearly four years building a 4.0 factory. The implemented solutions are one step deeper than its peers in automation, flexibility, informatization, and intelligence. Production efficiency has been greatly improved, the production cycle has been greatly shortened, and the accuracy of orders has been improved several times.
Both Lanju Company and Dinggu Incorporated have solved the problem of large corporate capital investment through the policies introduced by Zhongshan City. Last year, the Zhongshan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government determined to invest no less than 5 billion yuan to support the digital and intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry. Enterprises can enjoy policy benefits such as technological transformation, interest discounts, and benchmarking awards, covering the pre, mid, and post stages of transformation and upgrading. Among them, up to 20% of the total investment in technological innovation of enterprises will be supported, and loans for digital and intelligent projects will be fully discounted, up to a maximum of 30 million yuan. The “Lanju Smart Factory Project” is expected to invest more than 150 million yuan in equipment. Through “digital loans”, companies can receive interest discounts of up to 5 million yuan per year, which greatly reduces financing costs and short-term financial pressure.
At present, the municipal industry and credit department has jointly launched 16 financial products with 11 banks, and established a special fund pool for risk compensation of 500 million yuan, with a cumulative credit limit of 500 million yuan for digital and intelligent projects and loans of 270 million yuan, promoting digitalization and intelligence. Planned investment is 1 billion yuan.
