My Opinion on "Intelligent Manufacturing" of Peak Cement

Now we are in an era of technological explosion. The emergence of 5G, Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies is both an opportunity and a challenge for the cement industry. How to transform from traditional manufacturing to modern "intelligent" manufacturing is worthy of our attention, and it is also a problem that must be faced.

Not long ago, I had the honor to participate in the China Cement Intelligent Summit Forum held in Luoyang and the cement industry intelligent factory construction training organized by the group. I felt deeply about how cement production enterprises can move from "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing" "There are also some thoughts. Next, I would like to talk about some views on the "intelligent manufacturing" of cement based on our experience in information and intelligent management since the trial production of Huangping Jianfeng Cement Company.

The information framework of Guizhou Huangping Peak is shown in the figure. The three systems of ERP, MES and DCS are taken as the core, supplemented by advanced equipment such as mine belt analyzer and automatic loading machine, which form the basic framework of information technology. Among them, DCS and ERP systems have been put into use with good results and saved a lot of labor costs. The management of production data will be easier after the MES system goes online.

Figure 1 Guizhou Huangping Peak Basic Information Framework

From some phenomena in the trial production process of Guizhou Huangping Peak, I think that when further promoting the construction of information and intelligent system, we must pay attention to the following aspects:

1. The acceptance ability of grass-roots employees. Some grass-roots employees do not have a high level of computer operation, and it is difficult to get started with more complex system operations. In addition, three shifts during production make it impossible to conduct centralized training for all operators. The instruction manual alone is not enough to make them proficient in operation, thus affecting work efficiency. On the other hand, some employees think that the intelligent system will pose a threat to their work after it goes online, resulting in resistance. How to solve this problem, on the one hand, we need to organize some information training for grass-roots employees in our spare time, and we can also organize some operation competitions. On the other hand, we should let them know that intelligent informatization will only eliminate the same employees. We should follow the trend and change from the on-site operator to the operator of the information system. The information system is to facilitate the work of employees rather than to replace the work of employees.

2. Big data analytics capabilities must be further strengthened. Most of our systems in Huang Ping Peak have a high degree of automation and informatization, but their intelligence needs to be improved. Except for cross-band analyzers and expert systems that are not online, other systems cannot make automatic adjustment or advance warning and situation prediction according to production data. Most systems can only automatically collect data. As for the analysis of the data and the following decisions, it is up to the user to analyze and implement. Real intelligence should have its own big data platform, analyze production data and business data, draw corresponding conclusions, and play a guiding role in the operation of users.

3. Prevent "information silos". The "information island" of an enterprise refers to a computer application system that is developed or introduced independently, commissioned or introduced by different departments within the enterprise, which is not functionally related to each other, information is not shared and exchanged, and information is disconnected from business processes and applications. Although the data connection among DCS, MES and ERP systems under the framework of Guizhou Huangping peak informatization is good, if the data of OA system and labor management system can be integrated into ERP system, the work efficiency of employees can be further improved and the tedious problem of multi-system operation switching can be improved.

4. Cement intelligent market constraints. At present, the cement industry cannot have professional and mature intelligent business solutions like the mechanical processing and manufacturing industry, and there are also professional intelligent equipment integrators in the market, which can complete the intelligent construction of the entire production base in one stop. For the cement industry as a whole, there are few intelligent hardware and software integrators. The intelligence of the cement industry is obviously "crossing the river by feeling the stones". It relies on other intelligent means to apply mature solutions to the cement industry and uses some solutions after a series of "soil and water improvement" to meet the application of the cement industry. The trial and error cost during this period is very large. The uninterrupted production and sales of cement have great restrictions on the debugging of the system, while the imported mature integrated solutions are monopolized and the cost remains high. Most cement plants still choose intelligent solutions for a certain aspect. This will easily cause incompatibility of multiple systems and easily form "information islands", resulting in the inability to efficiently and economically meet the requirements of the intelligent development of the cement industry. Therefore, enterprises should communicate more with intelligent solution providers, and then combine their own industry experience with advanced intelligent technology, taking software and hardware as research and development objects at the same time, and taking their own enterprises as trial and error objects to form intelligent business solutions for cement enterprises, which can be extended to corresponding brother units. If so, it can greatly reduce the cost of trial and error, improve the degree of intelligence and cement industry, so as to promote the intelligent development of the cement industry of the whole group.

China Cement Intelligent Summit Forum also organized participants to visit local advanced cement enterprises. After seeing so many advanced intelligent application solutions, I think that if the technology becomes more mature in the future, the monopoly phenomenon is gradually alleviated, and the cost of the solution is greatly reduced, we can create an improvement scheme for the existing intelligent factory construction through the following aspects:

1. Intelligent monitoring: through monitoring equipment, the behaviors of employees and drivers at on-site import and export, bulk discharge outlets and dangerous operation points are detected, and warnings are issued to make certain restrictions. For example, it is impossible to enter the on-site workshop without wearing safety helmet, and it is impossible to carry out bulk feeding without wearing safety belt, etc. Reduce the occurrence of safety accidents to a certain extent. Safety is the top priority of production. At present, many drivers have uneven cultural levels and fluke mentality. Coupled with the pursuit of unmanned logistics card management, it is difficult for us to restrict the behavior of drivers. If the system strengthens their behavior Supervision can effectively reduce the occurrence of accidents and avoid adverse effects on enterprises.

2. Flow direction control: through the intelligent terminal composed of GPS and load sensor, the location and cargo status of each transport vehicle are obtained and sent to the cloud server. Managers can directly in the mobile phone or monitoring center, real-time monitoring of each vehicle is illegal flow phenomenon. This can greatly reduce the phenomenon of fleeing goods and is conducive to the maintenance of market order, but the current unit price of smart terminals is too high and it is difficult to popularize.

3. Smart Mine: Mine is the most important resource for cement production enterprises. Green mine has always been an important work target of cement enterprises under our peak. However, most of the current intelligence is aimed at the factory and insufficient attention is paid to the requirements of mine intelligence. Whether mines can effectively use resources is related to the sustainable development of enterprises. At present, 5G technology is developing rapidly. If 5G base stations are built on mines and Beidou high-precision navigation 5G high-precision maps are used, brand-new application fields such as unmanned vehicles, unmanned mining, unmanned aerial vehicle remote inspection, personnel intelligent control, etc. will be opened up, greatly reducing the risks of mining and transportation, and better meeting the requirements of green mines. However, due to the fact that most mines still choose outsourcing operation mode and the high cost of 5G Beidou's driverless solution, there is still a long way to go.

Smart is both an opportunity and a challenge. For large-scale cement companies like Jianfeng, whoever can follow the tide of the times and stand firm in the tide of "intelligent manufacturing" will occupy the commanding heights in the next round of industry competition. The road to the transformation of the cement industry to intelligence is destined to be long. How we find the characteristic intelligent solutions that belong to our own enterprises or even groups in the wave of the times is bound to be a new topic that we need to constantly explore.

The company requires each business segment to formulate medium-and long-term business plans.

According to our newspaper, "if an enterprise wants to develop in the long run, first of all, managers should have a long-term vision." On July 24, when general manager Yu Jianhong deployed the work for the second half of the year at the semi-annual meeting of the group company, he specifically asked all enterprises to formulate specific medium-and long-term business development plans for the next three to five years according to the industrial development trend and the group development strategy. Before making arrangements for the specific key work in the second half of the year, Yu Jianhong emphatically put forward the requirements for each business sector to formulate a business strategy plan for 2016-2018 according to the industry development trend and the group's development strategy. Yu Jianhong pointed out that the current group company's strategic decision-making and strategic development capabilities and efficiency still need to be improved. The publicity, understanding and implementation of the group's development strategy by various companies are not in place. The lack of medium and long-term business planning in each business sector restricts the business of the company. Development, cultivation of core products and profitability, construction of product brands, improvement of business scale and comprehensive strength. Last year, the group company asked the international trading company to formulate three-year work objectives and sign a three-year economic responsibility system with the company's management team. The actual effect shows that this has made the management team's management ideas clearer and more scientific and rational in terms of target setting, work arrangement and business development. For this reason, the group company put forward the requirements for the formulation of medium and long-term development plans for each business sector at this meeting. According to the industry characteristics of each business segment, market environment and other specific circumstances, the company makes requirements for the key content of the development plan of each business segment. For example, the pharmaceutical sector focuses on sales growth targets for key profitable products, product development and

Condensing the heart and gathering wisdom to seek common development

Compared with the past, a new content has been added in the half year of this year-on the morning of July 24, according to the different industrial sectors of the company, the participating managers were divided into three groups: pharmaceutical industry, cement industry and other industries for special discussion. The theme of the discussion was clear in the meeting notice a week ago: under the current economic situation and industrial environment, how to maintain the improvement of corporate profitability and how to promote better and faster development of enterprises. Jiang Xiaomeng, chairman of the group, and Yu Jianhong, general manager of the group, made guiding speeches in three groups. After the group discussion, the group leaders made a summary report at the conference. Due to the clear theme of the discussion, the management personnel at the meeting were well prepared, and the sparks of ideas collided from time to time during the discussion. Due to the different industrial characteristics and market environment, the communication content of each group also has different emphasis. For example, the pharmaceutical group is most concerned about adjusting marketing strategies, handling the relationship between price and quantity, strengthening technological innovation to improve production efficiency and product quality, and subdividing professional fields to make characteristic markets, etc.; the cement group is more focused on reducing energy consumption, strengthening internal control and management optimization, improving operation efficiency, and extending to upstream and downstream industries; other industry groups have more urgent requirements for clear corporate positioning, strengthening business integration, innovating marketing models, and controlling business risks. But in the final analysis, no matter which aspect the speech focuses on, it finally falls on one point: business operations are facing huge crises and challenges, and they must undergo transformation and upgrading, seek rapid development, and highlight the siege of market competition. Some participants said that due to the correlation between the company's various industries

The chairman assigned ten "homework questions" to the managers"

News from our newspaper On the afternoon of July 24, Chairman Jiang Xiaomeng put forward ten "homework questions" such as "clear development strategy and self-positioning" for managers at all levels in his concluding speech at the first half of the business analysis meeting ". Before "assigning homework", Jiang Xiaomeng first put forward three "thinking questions": what kind of company are we? What kind of management and what kind of talent team do we need? What kind of difficulties have our products and industries encountered? He pointed out that the peak is a historical, cross-industry, comprehensive joint-stock industrial company, is the product completely full competition, completely rely on their own business judgment, strategic decision-making to operate the company. Only under the framework of various laws and regulations, can we bring more wealth to employees by creating the largest living space and the best benefits. The characteristics of the enterprise, the characteristics of the industry, the historical evolution of the enterprise, and the competitive pattern of the products all directly affect the management mode of the peak. We need to absorb all kinds of talents and use their wisdom to continuously make the peak go on for a long time and achieve the dream of "100-year peak. At present, among the two main businesses of the company, the cement industry has encountered the first negative growth in 25 years, and the price has fallen to the lowest point in nearly 15 years; the increasingly strict management policies of the pharmaceutical industry have brought more challenges and tests to the enterprise. However, the crisis and opportunity always coexist, enterprises to survive and develop, it must keep pace with the times, constantly change. In view of the various changes in the internal status quo and external environment of the enterprise, Chairman Jiang Xiaomeng put forward ten requirements to the management personnel at all levels of the enterprise: the 1. should clarify the development strategy and the enterprise self

In the lecture, Jiang Xiaomeng started from the background, overall requirements, learning and education content, and main measures of the "two studies and one doing" activities. He hoped that all party members and cadres would understand "awe, gratitude, humility, and decent", and put forward "What should the current enterprise do" and "How should the enterprise go in the future" and other issues. Jiang Xiaomeng analyzed the future development trend of cement and pharmaceutical industries in detail, emphasized the importance of seizing opportunities, and pointed out that with the homogenization of cement industry becoming more and more serious, if we want to take the road of differentiated brand development, the core of competition is to strengthen self management and maximize the cost, so as to improve the competitive advantage. As far as Yunnan Jianfeng is concerned, it is necessary to continuously improve the level of process technology management and increase the hourly output by increasing inspection efforts. Starting from strengthening the control of raw material procurement, the quality and price should be controlled. By strengthening sales management, vigorously develop direct agents, and strive to maximize the profit per ton; By strengthening equipment maintenance, reduce equipment accidents and further reduce the consumption of machine materials; Make good use of people, while constantly tapping talents and cultivating new people, we will gradually control the total number of workers and improve labor productivity. According to the current situation and the company's development strategy, what should the party members of the peak do? Jiang Xiaomeng asked all the party members and cadres of Yunnan peak to play a good vanguard and exemplary role and take the lead in learning new knowledge, new technology and new experience.
