Robots collaborate with perfect synergy to transport components in an orderly manner; intelligent robotic arms swing up and down, accurately completing every scheduled process; AGV trolleys shuttle back and forth, efficiently fulfilling each transportation task... These high-tech intelligent manufacturing scenes are not from a sci-fi movie, but are actually unfolding in the smart factory of SINOTRUK.
This super factory, embodying the wisdom of high-end manufacturing, redefines the "craftsmanship spirit" in the manufacturing industry with its professional, rigorous and reliable work style, and writes a legendary transformation from "traditional manufacturing" to "super intelligent manufacturing".
Efficiency "Model Worker": Intelligence Leads a Leap in Production
Stepping into SINOTRUK's smart factory is like entering a precisely operating "future workshop". The entire factory adopts a unique matrix layout design, with its intelligent systems achieving high-level synergy. It ensures the flawless execution of every process with unparalleled precision and stability. Its welding workshop houses 2 flexible automated body welding production lines, shouldering the heavy responsibility of manufacturing 100,000 heavy-duty truck cab bodies annually! On the busy yet orderly production lines, 223 robots realize the automation of processes such as assembly, welding, and gluing, with the automation rate of welding spots reaching 100%. Every process is carefully designed and accurately executed, guaranteeing the impeccable quality of products.
Today, intelligent manufacturing has completely transformed all aspects of traditional production. The conventional workshops, once filled with flying welding sparks and a bustling crowd, have become a thing of the past. Manual labor has been replaced by efficient and precise intelligent manufacturing systems — the entire welding workshop only requires 5 workers for management, and the number of employees is merely 1/80 of that in the old welding workshop. For all 38 complex processes in the workshop, it takes only 2.5 hours to turn a single part into a truck cab, achieving a tremendous leap in productivity. Truly, "China’s Intelligent Manufacturing • New Model Workers" lives up to its reputation!
Wisdom "Model Worker": Endowing Every Link with a "Digital Brain"
In the final assembly workshop, intelligent production is equally breathtaking. AGV trolleys, acting like intelligent porters, move freely around the workshop as instructed by the system. They can travel automatically, identify directions and routes independently, and automatically come to an emergency stop to avoid obstacles when encountering them — ensuring the smoothness and safety of the production process. These trolleys not only support charging while moving but also boast high flexibility and adaptability, injecting dynamic vitality into the efficient operation of the production line.
The wisdom of the factory is not only reflected on the production lines, but also permeates the entire production management system. The intelligent manufacturing platform independently developed by SINOTRUK integrates data from six major modules including planning, production, process and quality. It enables real-time monitoring of equipment operating status, key quality information, and the completion of production plans, realizing transparent and intelligent management of the entire production process and ensuring that every link is well under control. As the core of this intelligent management system, the central control system is like a "wise brain". It can instantly feed back the efficiency of production links and potential problems, not only providing accurate data support for production decisions, but also taking a solid step forward in digital transformation.
At SINOTRUK's smart factory, the "new model workers" redefine the efficiency of industrial manufacturing with intelligence as the core, making every production link shine with wisdom. This intelligent manufacturing revolution driven by technology not only reshapes the quality standard of heavy-duty truck manufacturing, but also outlines a clear path for SINOTRUK to move towards the center of the world stage.
