The integrated control and governance efficiency of environmental protection has been increased by 50%, the efficiency of energy management has been increased by 10%, and the overall energy saving has reached 1.5%. In hardware and software delivery and other technical support and operation and maintenance to achieve high quality and efficient.

Successfully built a provincial industrial Internet platform - Xinda Group industrial interconnection intelligent platform, Collect manufacturing execution system, logistics management system, energy management system, equipment management system, equipment intelligent point inspection management system, electronic sales management system, unmanned measurement system, production safety management and control system, environmental protection integrated management and control system, equipment online monitoring and fault diagnosis system, human resource management system, financial supply chain system and other data in the factory. Realize the management personnel "one screen" to understand the group level, company level, production line level production and operation dynamics, to help efficient scheduling and dynamic management. It also connected some business data with the Xiong 'an Command center system to realize synchronous material update, real-time query of quality information, viewing of materials in transit, and docking of video surveillance.

The first phase has successfully projected the equipment data, production data, production process simulation and on-site monitoring video in the real scene of the shaped steel plant into the twin system, realizing remote operation and control of the real factory in the virtual world. An environmental protection and ultra-low emission intelligent management and control platform integrating monitoring, control and feedback has been successfully built, and the deep governance of ultra-low emission enterprises has been assisted by big data Internet technology.

Intelligent equipment unmanned factory

The company builds a five-level architecture from basic automation, intelligent equipment, real-time database to data cleaning, data into the lake, lean management and other contents, and develops a large number of intelligent robotic arms and intelligent automation systems to help the production process of iron and steel enterprises realize computer intelligence and the full process control of early warning.

Among them, the bar labeling robot realizes the efficient automatic control of the entire welding process; The automatic temperature measuring and sampling robot in continuous casting can realize the unmanned operation of temperature measuring and sampling. Intelligent cylinder removal manipulator, improve the automation level of casting steel; Steel intelligent surface inspection system, to achieve automatic surface quality determination; Scrap intelligent grading system, improve the efficiency of scrap grading; Intelligent storage management and control platform plays an important role in exhibition, command and dispatch, information feedback, emergency incident analysis and processing; Intelligent car washing platform, to meet the engineering vehicles and field operation car automatic washing; The intelligent fog pile fog gun system can realize the automatic start of dust exceeding the standard and effectively control the road dust. Intelligent combustion system of heating furnace, automatic upgrading of heating area, tracking of materials in furnace area, intelligent combustion control, 3D visual display; Optimize combustion system of blast furnace hot blast furnace, greatly reduce gas consumption; Slab continuous casting intelligent slag system, improve the accuracy of the operation, let the main pouring hand from the "fire mountain" into the "air conditioning room"; The machine vision system was applied to optimize the cutting of 1580mm rolling line, successfully reducing the cutting rate and improving product quality. The unmanned continuous casting platform applied two robots to replace the long water nozzle at the same time is the world's first in the industry.

Steel extends the digital economy

By building three industrial Internet platforms, "Application platform", "big data platform" and "IOT platform", the company carries out product research and development as well as the application and promotion of new technologies, new processes, new models and new businesses; Optimize the edge layer, platform layer, application layer, Iaas layer structure design, to provide enterprises with the optimal resource allocation scheme, while highlighting the leading role of data platform, a wide range of "platform + industry", "platform + service" and other services, to the cloud software or industrial APP packaging, solidification and reuse, to provide users with innovative application services.

In recent years, it has successfully developed a steel smart supply chain e-commerce platform integrating industrial supermarket, matchmaking, online bidding, transaction settlement, logistics distribution, data information, marketing and other functions - Zhongxinlian Cloud business platform, which has been selected as a typical case of "chain" digital transformation by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The platform has accumulated more than 240,000 kinds of raw materials and spare parts for the metallurgical industry, with more than 6,224 registered users, distributed in nearly 200 cities and regions across the country. After years of development, it has grown into a public service platform with industry influence in the steel industry. As of April 1, 2024, the total transaction amount has reached 264.188 billion yuan, and the comprehensive cost reduction of 201 million yuan has been achieved for service enterprises since 2023.

Scientific research has yielded fruitful results

Relying on the advantages of scientific research technology and business resources of universities and research institutes, the company carries out research and development work around major frontier common technologies and key bottleneck technologies, and builds a "domestic leading and international first-class" collaborative innovation achievements transformation base of steel common technologies through industry-university-research collaboration and multidisciplinary integration, achieving a large number of substantive results and promoting application in the industry.
