Flour “hand in hand” furniture enterprises “united”

IDEC FC4A-J8C1  The industrial Internet platform can help enterprises achieve digital transformation with minimal cost and greatly improve production efficiency. Not only that, the reporter found in the investigation that the platform can also integrate various industrial chains, so that the separate “chain” becomes a “network”.

In a furniture company in Shandong, the reporter found that a piece of ordinary plywood, actually 2.5% of the material comes from a local flour company. The cooperation of two seemingly unrelated enterprises comes from the industrial Internet.

IDEC FC4A-J8C1  Xu Zilei, head of the flour company, explained to reporters that the 2.5% material is the “secondary powder” produced in the production of flour, which is a byproduct near the wheat skin. In the past, mainly sold to feed mills, if the feed enterprises do not have such a large demand, it will cause a backlog of products.

However, this often unsellable product turned out to be the necessary accessories for the plate binder, which also opened up a market for Xu Zilei’s “second powder”. He showed reporters a map of the electronic industry chain created by the industrial Internet platform, click on any industrial chain, you can see the upstream and downstream enterprises, different industrial chain enterprises can also release demand information, to further open up different industrial chains.

The industrial Internet makes the industrial chain longer, faster and wider

IDEC FC4A-J8C1  Let different industrial chains find the convergence point, behind is an industrial Internet platform that can be “cross-industry and cross-field”. The enterprises accessed on this platform cover eight industries such as steel, chemical, food and electronics. So that small enterprises can also integrate into the big industrial chain, but also let the industrial chain extend further, faster and wider.

In Qingdao, Shandong province, a factory that makes air conditioners has just received a “difficult” order.

IDEC FC4A-J8C1  Responsible Zhao Lianhui told reporters that usually receive such orders, they will be more hesitant. Because the new product process is more complex, the production line should be re-matched. The customer’s request is for delivery within 3 days, and the normal lead time is 15 days.

But with the upstream and downstream of enterprises are connected to the industrial Internet, the reporter saw that while the factory was determining the next order, all links in the industrial chain responded according to this order – the upstream steel plant quickly deployed 20 tons of steel plates, the motor factory quickly deployed 500 motors, and the system automatically and accurately matched the upstream production capacity. Let the product to every link will not be delayed. At the same time, through process adjustment, the production cycle is about 12 days shorter than the previous single-fighting mode.
