The intelligent manufacturing of China's iron and steel industry is in a stage of rapid development, mainly in the following aspects:
First, leading enterprises and some pilot demonstration projects have demonstrated the application scenarios and promotion prospects of intelligent manufacturing, and achieved the project's expected goals of improving efficiency, improving product quality, and reducing costs.
Second, from mining and beneficiation, raw materials, coking, sintering, iron making, steel making, slab (continuous casting) to rolling, finishing, heat treatment, coating treatment, steel deep processing and other processes, as well as from planning, scheduling, Production control, quality monitoring, equipment operation and maintenance, energy management and control, procurement and marketing, logistics and distribution, customer delivery, cost accounting, financial management, human resources, safety and environmental protection, business operations and other processes, have selected a number of applications with promotion value Scenes.
Third, leading metallurgical engineering design and construction companies based on the Steel Design Institute, such as MCC Jingcheng, MCC CCID, MCC South, and MCC Huatian have launched their own intelligent manufacturing solutions, and have Practical application case.
Fourth, large and medium-sized steel enterprises have built their own industrial Internet platforms, big data centers and smart manufacturing demonstration factories.
Fifth, China Baowu, Hegang, Anshan Iron and Steel, Shougang and other enterprises with multiple production bases have promoted multi-base collaborative manufacturing by improving the level of informatization and automation and developing corresponding industrial software.
Sixth, combined with the characteristics of the industry, iron and steel enterprises continue to explore and research the application of some technologies in intelligent manufacturing, including 5G, industrial Internet, artificial intelligence, big data analysis, cloud storage and cloud computing, Internet of Things, deep learning, machine vision, Image recognition, 3D visualization, etc.
Seventh, under the leadership and organization of China Iron and Steel Association, Metallurgical Industry Information Standards Research Institute, Metallurgical Industry Planning Research Institute and other units, the steel industry is building an industry intelligent manufacturing standard system, and has carried out research on key technologies and industry application standards.
Iron and steel enterprises should not only attach importance to hardware construction (such as installing intelligent testing instruments, using robots, updating intelligent equipment, upgrading computer hardware systems, etc.), but also attaching importance to the development and research of industrial software, especially the digital management of knowledge.
