In the afternoon of September 19, the column group of "Sanitary Star Brand Plan: Entering the Star Brand" and guests from afar arrived at Jiangmen Dongpeng Intelligent Production Base.

Under the leadership of Xue Fuqin, the person in charge of the production base, we experienced a new black technology production process and deeply revealed its intelligent manufacturing level.

980 million investment to create a new mode of intelligent manufacturing

Jiangmen Dongpeng Intelligent Production Base is one of the four major production bases of Dongpeng Packaged Sanitary Ware, and also an important step after Dongpeng launched the 2025 intelligent manufacturing project of China's architectural ceramics industry, with a total investment of 980 million yuan.

The base covers an area of 285 mu, with a planned production capacity of 2.6 million ceramic pieces, 1 million bibcock pieces, 170000 bathroom cabinets, and 200000 shower rooms. It has taken more than three years since the foundation was laid in October 2015, trial production was started in 2018, and the first phase production line was officially put into production in 2019.

It is understood that as early as before the foundation of Jiangmen Base was laid, Dongpeng Holding Co., Ltd. (Dongpeng Holding) released the strategy of "China Construction Ceramics 2025" and launched the 2025 intelligent manufacturing project of China Construction Ceramics Industry. Jiangmen Dongpeng Intelligent Production Base is an important measure to implement the project, which will use a large number of automation equipment and intelligent systems.

Full automatic energy-saving tunnel kiln, automatic glazing system, automatic body grinding system, zero gravity intelligent handling equipment It can be seen from the AGV handling system, 12 automatic high-pressure toilet line, three axis gantry milling machine, full-automatic handling robot, three-dimensional warehouse and other facilities and systems that the base has a very high level of mechanization and automation, which can be said to create a new mode of intelligent manufacturing in the bathroom industry.

Super long tunnel kiln, cool robot

Among them, the 138 meter long full-automatic energy-saving tunnel kiln has become a beautiful scene in the production base. The tunnel kiln operates all year round, and the furnace fire is vigorous and endless. Standing at the kiln mouth, we can see its majesty.

Intelligence, automation and fewer people are the outstanding characteristics of Jiangmen Dongpeng Intelligent Production Base. "Robot automation system" is an automation production line project with large investment since Dongpeng settled in Jiangmen. When entering the workshop, intelligent robots almost replace traditional manpower, and the sound of machine operation with high precision, high efficiency and uniformity drives the work rhythm of the whole workshop.

Jiangmen Dongpeng Intelligent Production Base is a rare full process and fully automated production base in the industry. It can reduce the number of personnel by more than 50% compared with the traditional manual mode under the same output condition, in combination with automatic equipment such as robot glazing, AGV automatic transportation, etc.

Green intelligence, boosting industrial transformation and upgrading

There are two common problems in the production of traditional architectural ceramics and sanitary ware products. One is that labor costs are relatively large and labor intensity of workers is high; Second, the environmental protection pressure is high, especially in the two processes of surface spraying and polishing, which are relatively easy to harm the health of workers.

The automatic and intelligent production realized by Dongpeng Jiangmen Base can not only improve the production efficiency and reduce the dependence on human resources, but also reduce the labor intensity of workers, protect the health of workers, and accelerate the transformation of the industry to green manufacturing.

For example, Dongpeng has used a large number of robots and special process equipment in the two processes of surface spraying and polishing. Machines are used instead of manpower, which can avoid harm to human body caused by bad working environment while ensuring production efficiency and quality stability. At the same time, Dongpeng also ensures the cleanness of indoor and outdoor exhaust air and further protects the health of workers by configuring dust removal, filtration and exhaust systems.

In terms of intelligence, the Jiangmen base, through the interconnection of all equipment and the connection of the entire production process, including management, sales, logistics and after-sales, can not only achieve the optimal allocation and balance of resources, thus improving production efficiency, reducing excessive labor and energy consumption, but also enable factories to grasp consumer demand in a timely manner and achieve flexible manufacturing, Provide customized production for customers to meet the individual needs of consumers.

It can be seen from this that the intelligent manufacturing mode of Dongpeng's whole package sanitary ware, which costs a lot of money, is far more than simply improving production efficiency. Instead, it uses manufacturing upgrading to promote the all-round upgrading of the entire ecological chain, including research and development, design, sales, and management, thus promoting the transformation and upgrading of China's architectural ceramics and sanitary ware industry.

Dongpeng is fully equipped to support China's smart manufacturing and guide the new direction of industrial transformation!
