Why does Kelin Zhangjiakou factory dare to be so "open" when it is completely transparent and not blocked?

What do you think of when we talk about Zhangjiakou?

The upcoming Winter Olympics? Or is it a grassland full of mountains and plains? Or enthusiastic locals?

And if I say that I saw the spirit of "openness" in Zhangjiakou, will you feel a little surprised? After all, in people's general impression, Zhangjiakou, an inland non-coastal city, seems to have nothing to do with the word "openness". However, when I visited the factory in Zhangjiakou, Ke Ling, I really saw the spirit of "openness" blooming.

The "openness" of Kelin Zhangjiakou factory lies in the transparency and barrier-free visit, which is amazing. In the workshop, the glass channel was designed above the assembly line at the beginning of construction. The fully transparent effect allows visitors to have a more comprehensive and thorough understanding of Lectra's vehicle assembly process, and it seems that they are not worried that someone will steal the company's production secrets.

Why is this? Why can a car factory be so open?

Industry 4.0 Benchmark: The "Ultimate Weapon" of Kelin Zhangjiakou Factory

The visit to Zhangjiakou factory in Ke Ling began with silence. There is no one in the empty park, as if the huge factory is not running at all.

In fact, the factory in Zhangjiakou, Ke Ling has been running, but it is just an automated and intelligent production process, which makes you feel that people come and go like other factories-this is the advanced productivity brought by the integration of the concept of "Industry 4.0" into the factory in Zhangjiakou, Ke Ling.

It is understood that Ke Ling Zhangjiakou Factory is a Geely Holding Group, with a total investment of 65.438+0.25 billion yuan and a planned annual production capacity of 200,000 vehicles. It is the largest vehicle factory invested by the Group at present, and the first manufacturing base built in full accordance with Volvo's global manufacturing and quality standards, which meets the most stringent market access conditions in the world.

Based on the concept of "Industry 4.0", Ke Ling Zhangjiakou Factory is a high-standard intelligent factory with intelligent production and intelligent logistics system. The factory has introduced a perfect IT system, adopted advanced information management mode and equipped first-class equipment, and the concepts of intelligence, informationization, flexibility, automation and green environmental protection have reached the international leading level.

Ke Ling Zhangjiakou Factory has four workshops: stamping, welding, painting and assembly, which are built and managed in full accordance with Volvo's global quality standards. No matter which production line, visitors can visit at will, and the Zhangjiakou factory in Ke Ling is completely open and transparent.

According to the staff, in the stamping workshop with a building area of about 1.56 million square meters, two AB stamping lines were set up, and advanced equipment such as German Mager crane were adopted. Each production line consists of five presses connected in series, all of which are multi-link high-speed mechanical presses with a total tonnage of 7300t, and all five presses adopt Outlinghouse wet clutch. The friction plate has fast cooling speed and little wear, which prolongs the service life.

When we came to the welding workshop covering an area of 53,000 square meters, we were shocked by rows of huge robots. It turns out that Kelin introduced the world's top KUKA flexible production line and adopted 285 KUKA robots, which ensured that the automation degree of the main welding assembly line reached 100%. This workshop has a maximum annual production capacity of 200,000 vehicles, and one vehicle will be off the assembly line in about two minutes. The workshop can also form a production mode of randomly mixed lines, which further expands the diversified needs of the production workshop.

The largest KUKA robot named KR 1000 Titan is a seven-axis heavy robot with an open motion system, with a payload capacity of 1000 kg and a working distance of 3.2 meters. This kind of "divine power" has amazed many tourists.

Every car will have an RFID "ID card" before it enters the assembly workshop, which will not only be used in the production stage, but also accompany the car until it is scrapped. When the car that needs final assembly drives to the worker's station, the work order that the worker needs to operate is automatically read from the cloud and displayed on the screen in front of the station. All the operations on the production line and all the records of the future maintenance of the car will be recorded on this RFID ID card so that consumers can trace it back at any time.

The high intelligence and automation make the production equipment and quality process control of Ke Ling Zhangjiakou Factory at the world leading level, which is the charm brought by Industry 4.0.
