The first digital twin factory in China's heavy truck industry was put into operation in Changzhou on Wednesday.
"Digital Twin Smart Factory" refers to building a virtual factory for simulation verification before building a physical factory. Relying on intelligent algorithm empowerment, it achieves "end-to-end" data flow such as intelligent production scheduling, intelligent inventory, and intelligent human resource allocation.
Managers can monitor various data in the production process in real time, including 72 intelligent processes for error prevention, such as tightening technology error prevention, assembly station error prevention, and automatic dispensing of filling quantities.
At the same time, smart factories can provide customers with over 20000 product configuration combinations, comprehensively improving resource utilization, achieving a 20% reduction in the cost of a single vehicle, and a 22% improvement in quality.
"Relying on the advantages of Changzhou as the new energy capital, we will develop
different new energy product development strategies for different scenarios of long-distance and regional distribution. We will redefine new energy heavy trucks.
At the same time, facing the future, we will also launch pilot technology to develop a new concept of "heavy truck robot," said Wu Yuejun, Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of BAIC Heavy Truck.
On the same day, the first vehicle of the smart factory was delivered offline, paving the way for the delivery of the first batch of new energy heavy truck products within the year.
Changzhou is making every effort to promote its image as a new energy capital. In 2022, Changzhou recorded an output value of 300 billion yuan for the new energy vehicles and core automotive components industry cluster, with the total vehicle output value exceeding 60 billion yuan.
