On November 24, representatives of several enterprises in South China entered the Lenovo (Wuhan) industrial base and started a journey of exploring advanced factories. During the visit, enterprise representatives experienced the powerful charm of Lenovo's "intelligent manufacturing" and praised it frequently. Through in-depth exchanges and heated discussions with experts in the base, the delegation was impressed by Lenovo's determination and strength in digital transformation and intelligent manufacturing.
Explore Lenovo Wuhan factory representative of enterprises Like Wisdom Make a feast
Lenovo (Wuhan) Industrial Base (hereinafter referred to as "Wuhan Base") is a comprehensive industrial base integrating the R&D, production and sales of mobile Internet terminals, mainly developing, producing and selling mobile phones Mobile Internet products such as tablet computers. Every 10 globally There are more than 6 Lenovo brand mobile phones Taiwan is produced here, and the factory also undertakes 95% of the global shipment of Motorola Razr 5G mobile phones. With its pivotal position and representation in the mobile terminal industry For sexual influence, Lenovo Wuhan Base can be regarded as the "benchmark" of mobile intelligent manufacturing. In order to meet the needs of many enterprise representatives for understanding advanced manufacturing process factories, Lenovo South China Region specially organized this visit.
On the 24th day, enterprise representatives walked into the chip workshop and assembly workshop, visited the production process and the application of the Internet of Things in actual production, visited the industry's first 5G+loT automated assembly line, industrial 5G application, etc. Later, the visiting group had in-depth exchanges with production experts in Wuhan Base, and they discussed hot topics such as digital change and intelligent manufacturing, which yielded fruitful results.
When the visiting group walked into the workshop of Lenovo Wuhan Factory, they said that several scenes were quite exciting:
Here, from water and electricity, vehicle access management, number of people stationed, temperature and humidity of all control points, output and other data, the screen will be refreshed every 30 minutes. Every display board and screen on the production line are self-developed products from Lenovo;
sixty-five The AGV automatic freight transport robot with control system developed by Lenovo itself runs in the factory area automatically, avoiding people and obstacles in the whole process without any manual intervention;
In the whole process from material entry to delivery, the factory has realized material traceability, automatic detection of circuit board welding, full-automatic monitoring of production line safety, full-automatic factory test of the whole machine, etc;
In the workshop, enterprise representatives experienced the enabling effect of 5G technology on use scenarios - two production lines 60 meters long and 10 meters wide, covering the 5G private network based on Lenovo's own cloud network integration technology. The details of staff operations on the production line and sensor data on the automated production line can be connected to the cloud system in real time, and production data can be collected in time to ensure product quality, And conduct real-time monitoring on production safety. At present, all the mounters in Wuhan Base have been connected to the Internet, which can collect a large amount of data and truly realize "unattended".
Here, we are also very excited to see the benchmark production line for 5G+IoT automated assembly in the industry -“ Quantum wire ". Lenovo self-developed“ The "quantum wire" turns the separate manufacturing process into manufacturing modules, which can adjust the manufacturing process according to the design requirements at any time, and a new production line can be created in four hours. Entire“ The "quantum wire" includes mobile phone assembly, testing, and inspection production processes. Through the flexible exchange of equipment and equipment, people and equipment, the process flow and parameters of the production line can be quickly adjusted to achieve free switching between different models of products. It is the first to be used in the manual assembly of 3C equipment that is traditionally recognized as difficult to automate. By importing“ Quantum wire ", more than 100000 mobile phones are offline in the factory every day.
Enterprise representatives said that the visit was full of confidence in Lenovo's deployment of focusing on AI and computing power and accelerating intelligent transformation, and they also had more expectations and imagination for their cooperation.
"Iron Triangle" Xijiayi All major production bases lay the foundation of intelligent manufacturing
Since the establishment of its own factory in the 1990s, Lenovo has set up more than 30 factories around the world, with annual equipment shipments exceeding 150 million Set, more than 180 The demand of more than 1 billion users in countries and regions. Over the past 30 years, Lenovo Group has accumulated profound production exploration and experience. It has built large manufacturing bases in Hefei, Wuhan, Shenzhen and other places, forming an "iron triangle". In 2023, several major production bases will establish signs one after another As a milestone, Lenovo Group's Innovation Industrial Park (Tianjin) was also completed on November 6 as scheduled, setting the stage for Lenovo's layout of "green zero carbon, intelligent manufacturing" An important son.
* Digital intelligence benchmark Hefei Base won the "Lighthouse Factory"
On January 13, 2023, as the largest PC R&D and manufacturing base of Lenovo, Lenovo Hefei Industrial Base was selected as the "lighthouse factory" in the world. The "lighthouse factory" is known as the "most advanced factory in the world", which was jointly selected by the World Economic Forum and McKinsey Consulting, representing the highest level of intelligent manufacturing and digitalization in the global manufacturing industry Ping.
Lenovo Hefei Industrial Base has built 32 smart motherboards and 36 complete machine production lines, and more than 300 new products are launched every year, with 200000 product configurations, and more than 80% of them are single less than 5 Customized demand of the platform. At present, every 8 1 laptop The platform was born here and can be offline every 0.5 seconds Laptops.
Lenovo Group has built its own intelligent PC production line "Mercury Line 2.0" with complete intellectual property rights and the main board intelligent industrial interconnection line "Nezha Line". The two intelligent production lines can handle up to 8000 orders every day, and more than 80% of them are single orders less than 5 Of tables With the application of big data, cloud technology, artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies, personalized customization has achieved a highly accurate plan and intelligent production scheduling, and created a new model of ecological collaboration system for win-win cooperation with suppliers. It has reduced production scheduling time by 67%, increased production efficiency by 18%, reduced structural parts inventory by 50%, and continuously improved end-to-end operation efficiency. The two production lines are digital, intelligent and automatic On average, it is in the leading position in the industry. Taking "Nezha Line" as an example, its automation rate has reached 90% Only one operator is required to drive each machine. More than 70 industrial chain partners have followed Lenovo Group's Hefei Industrial Base to Anhui for joint development, and the industrial chain partners alone have contributed more than 14 billion yuan in annual output value to Anhui.
