Weichai Smart Power Platform: Supporting the Road to Transformation and Upgrade

At present, China’s economy has entered a new normal, and traditional manufacturing has reached an important juncture for climbing over the hurricane. The new normal forced enterprises to accelerate the transformation and upgrading, and to promote the integration of the two and enhance the level of smart manufacturing is to break the bottleneck of development and deal with market pressure. Critical path selection.

As the Weichai Group, one of the most comprehensive automotive and equipment manufacturing industry groups in China, the past few decades have benefited from transformation and upgrading. The future road is still bred and concrete in the new transformation and upgrading. At the moment when China's Industrial Revolution 4.0 is poised to take off, Weichai has followed the trend and at the beginning of 2015, it has for the first time launched a “smart power platform” concept of intellectual creation for resource sharing and win-win development.

This platform includes four systems such as Weichai's WOS operation system, global R&D community, preferred global supply chain system, and full-life membership-based exclusive service, which provide customers with an efficient operating system, strong technical support, and global With competitive supply chain clusters and perfect after-market service guarantees, the platform continuously breaks through innovation and becomes the incubator for new products and new technologies for Weichai engines.

The establishment of the "Smart Power Platform" benefits from the application of information technology. PDM-based product R&D support platforms, ERP-centric enterprise resource management platforms and other six informatization support platforms and more than 30 information systems basically cover all business processes of enterprise management, technology, and production operations. With the help of information technology, Weichai is gradually realizing the optimal allocation of resources and collaborative applications to help enterprises move toward high-end manufacturing.

The concept of "Smart Power Platform" integrates Weichai's achievements in the integration of "Smart Factory", "Smart Logistics", "Smart Marketing", and "Smart Management" over the past decade and more, and "China Made 2025" proposed by Prime Minister Li Keqiang. "Consistent coincidence, is a rare and powerful practice for the industry to explore intelligent manufacturing.

In the manufacturing process, Weichai spared no effort to create a “smart factory” and organically integrate the Internet and industrial production, widely popularized robots in key processes, and integrated intelligent manufacturing throughout the entire production process, effectively increasing production efficiency and improving product quality. Workers are freed from high-risk and heavy labor processes and demonstrate humanistic care. In the WD615/WP10 and other traditional advantageous product manufacturing bases, the Weichai Power Plant No. 1 has now achieved the transition from “buying in” to “making out” of automation equipment. In 2014 alone, the fully automatic 8-axis cylinder head was completed. Thirty-four high-tech and high-efficiency automation transformations, such as the main bolt tightener, crankcase automatic assembly unit, and cylinder head valve guide hole auto-hinge specialist, have accumulated technical experience and human resources for the exploration of intelligent manufacturing.

The efficient operation of the “smart factory” cannot be separated from the support of a strong logistics system. Weichai is based on the integration and utilization of the Internet and the Internet of Things to effectively coordinate logistics resources, improve service matching and efficiency of logistics resource providers, and maximize distribution requirements. Take the production of an engine as an example. The manufacture of a single engine requires the purchase of more than 2,000 parts and components. In the face of tens of thousands of parts and components suppliers throughout the world, parts and components suppliers use different standards for codes, logos, etc., for parts suppliers and parts and components. Traceability and visualization of information such as quality have brought great difficulties. In this regard, Weichai combines the logistics characteristics of the company, using RFID technology, using a one-dimensional bar code to mark parts of different sources, so that each part has an ID card, and for upstream suppliers, build a public service platform - supplier portal System, development of procurement information release, purchase order confirmation, delivery notification and confirmation, online invoices, and other functions, and the integration of the system and quality management system, can be timely feedback to the supplier parts quality information, to prevent the inflow of defective products and Late quality improvement. The integration of multiple information systems not only provides support for the real-time collection of parts and components information for parts distribution and assembly, but also establishes a solid quality barrier at the logistics stage.

In the face of downstream distributors, Weichai has developed a post-market service system, a global call center system, a vehicle linkage system, and a vehicle service platform based on the Internet of Things and big data technology—common rail system. These information systems are organically combined with market services to realize product lifecycle management services, form a three-dimensional and multidimensional “smart marketing” system, provide Weichai innovative business models, test the water market 020 e-commerce, and develop internationalized businesses. Strong support.

The application of information technology means is to promote the management reform of Weichai, enhance the operational efficiency and core competitiveness of enterprises, and realize the fundamental technical guarantee of “smart management”. From finance, research and development, subsidiary company management and daily administrative management, Weichai built a comprehensive information management system. Currently, Weichai's financial integration system can integrate the financial services of the Group's 67 companies, branches and 5 overseas institutions into a unified platform management, eliminating the inconvenience caused by physical distance and realizing the financial performance of various companies and branches. The real-time monitoring of management is conducive to scientific decision-making in corporate operations; the implementation of TDM projects and the construction of intellectual property management systems provide informatization support for the company's electronic control, process, and research and development; and the ERP projects are gradually promoted, opening up different links in enterprise management. Improving the overall operational efficiency; The continuously upgraded OA office system, independently developing nearly 80 administrative processes, providing tools to support the Group’s paperless office...

As a leader in the industry, Weichai has spared no effort in promoting the integration of the two industries and accelerating the transformation and upgrading of enterprises. In 2012, Weichai won the title of “National Informatization and Industrialization Depth Convergence Demonstration Enterprise” by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology with its top ranking in the mechanical industry. In the future, Weichai will continue to implement information-based upgrading projects, integrate the Internet and production operations deeply, build “digitalized Weichai”, realize digitalized decision-making management, collaborative product development, customer service intensification, procurement logistics networking, and lean production electronics. And sharing knowledge management.
