Some materials shuttle in the "air corridor" between the finished product warehouse and the production workshop, some materials are "leisurely" waiting for the "bus" connection and transportation, and some materials are realized A personalized "car-calling" service is provided, and the AGV car will accurately deliver it to the designated location according to demand.

This is what the reporter saw when he walked into the material sorting workshop of ZTE Nanjing Binjiang 5G Intelligent Manufacturing Base (hereinafter referred to as "Binjiang Factory"), China's first five-star 5G factory. There is no manual operation in the whole process, but it is orderly, thanks to the blessing of 5g technology.

In terms of logistics management, Binjiang Factory relies on 5G technology to achieve precise distribution of materials and real-time management of inventory. Faced with diversified logistics scenarios, ZTE Vice President Zhou Jianfeng introduced that ZTE has innovatively proposed a "high-speed rail, bus, and taxi" logistics model: the high-speed rail model uses 5g equipment to achieve long-distance, large-volume "extremely fast delivery"; the bus model uses 5g Automatic forklifts and AGVs realize "flexible distribution" over short distances and fixed routes; the taxi model combines "5g+agv+x" technology to flexibly cope with complex and changeable "feeder logistics" and achieve precise distribution.

At the same time, Binjiang Factory has also used 5G technology to build a global logistics monitoring system, which enables real-time monitoring and early warning of transportation equipment, goods and personnel, further improving the safety and reliability of logistics management.

Currently, the Binjiang factory can produce 70,000 5g base stations (small stations) and 40,000 servers per month. Compared with 2020, the output per person hour of base station products has increased by 113%, and the output per person hour of server products has increased by 125%. , the per capita output value increased by 81%, and the delivery cycle was shortened from 20 days to 14 days.

This series of dazzling data not only demonstrates the strong strength of Binjiang Factory, but also is a vivid practice of 5g technology empowering the manufacturing industry.

At present, Binjiang Factory has achieved full coverage of 5G networks, with a 5G networking rate of 89.3%. By integrating cutting-edge technologies such as 5G, machine vision, AI, and big data analysis, Binjiang Factory has successfully incubated diversified application scenarios and achieved A comprehensive leap in production capacity.

Specifically, the high-performance 5g flexible automated production line has shortened the production line changeover time by 95%, from the original 30 minutes for complete machine assembly to only 3 minutes. In addition, "making 5g with 5g" has shortened the 5g product development cycle by 25%, reduced the manufacturing costs of 5g and server products by 23%, and reduced production line operators by 53%.

In addition to the improvement of production efficiency and the reduction of operating costs, the application of 5g and other related new technologies has also significantly improved product quality. In the server assembly workshop, robot "partners" work together and use 5g machine vision to accurately position screw holes, enabling the precise assembly of 2.5-inch, 3.5-inch and other multi-specification and multi-size hard drives and their brackets. Compared with manual hard drive assembly, the assembly efficiency is increased by 30% and the defective rate is reduced by 50%.

It is understood that the Binjiang factory extensively applies machine vision, AI and other technologies, and makes full use of the high-speed transmission characteristics of the 5G network to achieve real-time monitoring and accurate analysis of the entire product production chain. For example, the use of 5G-enabled machine vision technology plays a key role in automated and precise work processes such as dispensing, assembly, and labeling; at the same time, 5G-based machine vision systems are also used in single board quality inspection, and 5G cloudization plc testing and other aspects.

Thanks to the application of digital intelligence technology, the Binjiang factory's current product defect rate of 5g base stations (including small stations) has been reduced by 34%, and the assembly process has achieved a zero missed detection rate, compared with 3% for manual visual inspection. The missed detection rate and the accuracy of quality inspection have been greatly improved.

In the era of digital economy, manufacturing is an important engine of the real economy. Promoting the manufacturing industry to accelerate the transition to digitalization and intelligence has become the only way for the high-quality development of my country's manufacturing industry. In this process, the integration of 5g technology and manufacturing is undergoing a profound transformation from "one-way empowerment" to "two-way rush".The valuable experience accumulated by ZTE Binjiang Factory in 5G industry private network construction, 5G cloud AGV, 5G machine vision, etc. may help more traditional manufacturing factories transform and upgrade to 5G factories, allowing 5G technology to inject high-quality development into the manufacturing industry. More vitality and momentum.
