/ Assoc/Guangzhou, February 28, 2022 -- Founded in 1991, Gree Electric Appliances Co., LTD has always adhered to the corporate mission of "making the world fall in love with Made in China", actively responded to the concept of "revitalizing the country through industry and strengthening the country through science and technology", and boosted the development of the real economy through innovation. After 30 years of development, it has gradually developed into a diversified and technology-based global industrial manufacturing group, with products exported to more than 160 countries and regions, boosting the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.
Private network construction, leading the three application enabling production lines
Fang Xiangjian, vice president of Gree Electric Appliances, introduced that Gree Electric Appliances, in cooperation with China Unicom, has achieved 100% coverage of 5G network in Gree Headquarters Park in Zhuhai, and successfully built a 5G private network in the field of intelligent manufacturing, providing a more secure and reliable network with higher speed, larger bandwidth, lower delay for Gree Park.
Combined with the technical characteristics of 5G, Gree Electric Appliances has implemented three typical applications: 5G+ automatic electrical safety project based on 5G+ machine vision positioning technology to realize automatic electrical safety testing of products and automatic adjustment of equipment parameters; Based on 5G+AI behavior analysis technology, 5G+AI monitoring can automatically identify and judge the behavior of inspectors; The quality detection data in the production process will be collected in a centralized manner and statistical analysis of reports, and the quality data will be displayed visually to realize the 5G quality big data platform for abnormally fast closed-loop processing.
These applications greatly improve the overall quality management level, improve the work efficiency, reduce the operation and maintenance and supervision costs, and realize the paperless quality data of the production process, which can save the cost of more than 10 million yuan per year.
A new starting point for traditional manufacturing and a new demonstration of industrial interconnection
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, digital transformation makes Gree stand on the tide of the new era.
In terms of digital technology innovation, Gree is committed to investing in and researching the new generation of information technology, deepening the digital application of internal research and development design, production and manufacturing, operation management, market service and other links, so as to provide the whole-process, whole-link and all-channel data service capability for all levels of Gree's business and users.
On the basis of digital development, Gree uses digitalization to promote the automation of production operations, making a high degree of automation become the normal state of Gree factories, and giving machines, equipment, processes and systems the ability of self-perception, self-learning, self-decision-making, self-execution and self-adaptation.
In terms of digital management, Gree breaks through all internal management links, builds a data-driven, agile and efficient operation and management system, promotes the popularization of visual management mode, and carries out application exploration of new modes such as dynamic market response, resource allocation optimization and intelligent strategic decision-making.
In the development of intelligent manufacturing, Gree has intensified the application of digital technologies such as 5G, big data and artificial intelligence, comprehensively improved the intelligent level of R&D and design, process simulation, production and manufacturing, equipment management and product testing, realized the dynamic optimization and accurate decision-making of the whole process, developed the industrial Internet platform in line with the characteristics of the enterprise and the industry, and at the same time led the upstream and downstream enterprises in Daping Digital transformation under the stage.
In this regard, Fang Xiangjian said that intelligent manufacturing is the main direction of the future development of China's manufacturing industry. As a representative entity enterprise, Gree Electric Appliances has grown from a single household air conditioning enterprise to a diversified industrial group, providing a strong driving force for the upgrading of "Made in China" to "Made in China".
5G will be introduced into the park to integrate innovation and intelligent upgrading
Xing Yan, senior vice president of BG of Guangdong Unicom, introduced that in 2019, Guangdong Unicom joined hands with Gree Electric Appliances to build a 5G+MEC edge cloud +SA slice private network according to the demands of the production site for network and the scenario planning of intelligent manufacturing business, and then descended to Gree Park, effectively meeting the needs of some businesses for ultra-low delay and data not leaving the park.
Based on the self-developed MEC edge cloud platform of Unicom, it draws more deployment of AI capabilities and explores the cloud-edge collaborative mode with the enterprise industrial Internet platform. With the continuous maturity of the industrial chain, China Unicom will radiate its project experience and application to major bases of Gree Group across the country through the 5G promotion service platform. It can also provide demonstrations for domestic appliance manufacturers and other manufacturing enterprises, further improving the networking and intelligent level of China's manufacturing industry. We will accelerate the implementation of the Action Plan for 5G Application to provide solid support for digital transformation, intelligent upgrading, and integrated innovation in all sectors of the economy and society.
