Based on deep industry insight practice and product technology precipitation, Zhongcong Technology creatively proposed a new model of “1+2+N” smart factory construction, including “1 factory operating system, 2 automation: Production Process Automation (PA) and Business Operations Automation (BA), together with N industrial apps, provide a clear implementation path for building the smart factory of the future.

Yu Haibin introduced that the factory operating system has revolutionized the hierarchical standard of the factory, transforming the traditional multi-layer Purdue model architecture in which data and information need to be transmitted layer by layer into a flat architecture in which data interacts at the same level, thus breaking the data island and truly realizing the platformization and flattening of data. At the same time, on this basis will also produce more industrial APP applications, through the “factory operating system + industrial APP” technical architecture, will greatly accelerate the pace of enterprise intelligent development. In particular, he highlighted the potential of the combined use of mechanistic models and AI to unlock enterprise data productivity.

Zhongcong “PA+BA” intelligent enterprise architecture, help enterprise data up and down, left and right interconnection, collaborative intelligence, enabling enterprises to plug in the “wings” of digital intelligence. Through production process automation (PA), the central control technology is based on the whole process intelligent operation management and control system (OMC), helping enterprises to face the whole production process from raw materials to products, using the integration of advanced technology, equipment, information, automation and other hardware and software technologies, to achieve the safe, stable, efficient and low-carbon autonomous operation of the device. Through enterprise operation automation (BA), based on the technical architecture of “factory operating system + industrial APP”, advanced software technologies such as AI, big data and digital twins are used to help enterprises achieve excellent operation management and meet the core needs of enterprises to achieve “stable and excellent”.

Overall, the factory operating system, as a “data base”; The whole process intelligent operation management and control system (OMC), as the “control base”; Process Industrial Process Simulation and Design Platform (APEX) as a “simulation base”; As the “perception base”, the all-equipment intelligent perception platform PRIDE is the four core product base of the new model of “1+2+N” smart factory construction, providing the most powerful support for the realization of the “1+2+N” process industry smart factory in the future.

Widely recognized by enterprises, the effect is remarkable

Yu Haibin stressed the importance of productization and industrialization of good ideas, and the “PA+BA” intelligent enterprise architecture should do a good job in the landing and productization of the top-level design, the direction should be correct, the goal should be clear, and the value should be accurate. “The advantage of Zhongcong technology is that it has served nearly 30,000 customers and has a lot of practical experience in different industry scenarios.”

At present, the new model of “1+2+N” smart factory construction has been successfully applied in 4100+ sets of new models of intelligent manufacturing. In a large chlor-alkali smart factory project, CTC joined hands with enterprise users to successfully achieve the construction of unmanned inspection, unmanned operation, and unmanned recording of “three no factories”, achieving key indicator fluctuation of less than 0.2%, operation frequency decreased by 95%, cumulative black screen running time of more than 130 days, significantly reducing costs and increasing efficiency; In a large coal chemical smart factory project, through the application of the “1+2+N” smart factory construction new model, to achieve the integration of production control, equipment life cycle management of the construction results, to achieve the key goals of energy consumption and material consumption down 2%, manufacturing costs down 3%. In a world-class intelligent refinery and chemical integration base, a new mode of production control coordination and refinery and chemical integration operation is built, and the effective automatic control rate of the current device is close to 100%, the operation frequency is reduced by more than 95%, the average number of daily alarms is reduced by 80%, and the “black screen operation” is achieved, and the intelligent factory is operated less human.

In the future, Zhongcong technology will continue to invest in the field of intelligent manufacturing, continue to deepen, and lead intelligent manufacturing together with more ecological partners
