Guangzhou, March 31, 2022 -- The World Economic Forum officially announced the latest list of "lighthouse factories" on March 30. BOE(BOE) has won the highest honor in the field of global intelligent manufacturing from many global enterprises, becoming the first and only one of the selected enterprises in the Chinese mainland It is also the first world business card of BOE in the field of intelligent manufacturing.
BOE(BOE) Fuzhou 8.5 generation TFT-LCD production line
Launched by the World Economic Forum and consulting firm McKinsey & Company, the Lighthouse Factory is a challenging selection of companies from around the world that will lead in the application of advanced technologies in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Previously, only 90 factories were selected. BOE(BOE) was successfully selected in the first application, which not only marks that it is in the forefront of the world in the large-scale application of industry 4.0 new technology, but also will enable the upstream and downstream industrial chain with the world-class intelligent manufacturing concept and innovation mode, and drive the whole industry to improve the overall level of digital intelligent application.
Chen Yanshun, Chairman of BOE(BOE), said that BOE(BOE) realized the importance of improving production efficiency through intelligent manufacturing very early on due to its profound insight into the development trend of global economy, the fourth industrial revolution and the development law of semiconductor display industry. As early as 2015, when BOE Fuzhou 8.5 generation semiconductor display production line was set up,BOE positioned it as "the world's most competitive intelligent semiconductor display production line", and made extensive use of the fourth Industrial Revolution technology to enhance efficiency. At present,BOE has 16 semiconductor display production lines, forming a large-scale industrial cluster with industry-leading production capacity advantages and industry-leading intelligent manufacturing capabilities. It forms a unified industrial Internet platform and continuously drives intelligent manufacturing and digitalization of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain through horizontal promotion and multiplexing of intelligent manufacturing technology and advanced manufacturing experience of all production lines Comprehensive improvement of application ability.
The 8.5-generation semiconductor display production line of BOE Fuzhou, which was selected as "Lighthouse Factory", has a total investment of 30 billion yuan. It mainly researches and develops high-end liquid crystal display products such as high resolution (UHD), large size and low power consumption, and is widely used in various innovative application fields such as smart home, smart retail, smart travel and digital art. As an excellent representative of BOE's 16 production lines,BOE Fuzhou 8.5generation semiconductor display production line has achieved world leadership in intelligent manufacturing and digital level by virtue of its outstanding advantages in production line construction, system architecture, process design and technological innovation, intelligent manufacturing and process supervision. By building a fully automatic production system, widely using artificial intelligence and advanced analysis technology, the unit cost of BOE Fuzhou production line was reduced by 34%, and the overall output increased by 30%; By building an AI-driven energy management system, unit power consumption and unit water consumption of the production line decreased by 39% and 27%, greatly improving the ability of green and sustainable development and becoming an industry benchmark in the field of intelligent manufacturing.
Based on nearly 30 years of industrial practice in the semiconductor display field, BOE integrates the core technological advantages such as artificial intelligence, big data and Internet of Things accumulated in the transformation process of the Internet of Things and the reusable platform and system capabilities accumulated in the intelligent manufacturing field to empower the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain with the help of BOE(BOE) industrial Internet platform, and further open the intelligent operation management Manage experience and accelerate the upgrading of digital intelligence in various industries. At present,BOE has built a whole industrial chain industrial Internet platform covering data collection, intelligent analysis and scene application, and launched many standardized and platform-oriented system-level solutions such as intelligent production, intelligent factory and industrial interconnection online services. In terms of precision production,BOE(BOE) industrial Internet platform can intelligently calculate and schedule production plans according to production conditions, and the overall production efficiency can be increased by more than 30%. In terms of product control, by collecting parameters on the device side, the defect model was constructed, and the production scheduling system was opened up. The product defect rate was reduced by 75%, and the product yield improvement cycle was shortened by 43%. In terms of industrial chain coordination, through the coordination management of all links of the industrial chain, inventory is reduced by 25%, order performance cycle is shortened by 30%, industrial chain cost is reduced by 25%, and efficient coordination between upstream and downstream is realized. In just one year, BOE(BOE) Industrial Internet platform has provided digital transformation services for more than 200 enterprises nationwide, greatly improved the efficiency of enterprise operation and management, and accelerated the industrial digital transformation.
At present, a new round of industrial transformation led by the technologies of the fourth industrial revolution is accelerating the deep integration of the real economy and the digital economy. Cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and industrial Internet are promoting the efficient flow of various industrial resource elements. Intelligent manufacturing has become an important outlet for the rapid development of the digital economy. As the world's leading semiconductor display industry enterprise and the world's leading innovative enterprise of the Internet of Things,BOE has set a model of innovation in the development of digital intelligence for the whole industry by building the "lighthouse factory", an intelligent manufacturing industry benchmark. In the future,BOE will further promote display, sensing, Internet of Things and other leading technology products and systematic services into the industrial end and application scene in a deeper and wider field through the development strategy of "Screen of Things", so as to gather important innovative forces for the construction of a new development pattern of digital economy.
