In the automobile manufacturing industry, efficient and accurate intelligent logistics handling is the key link to improve production efficiency and competitiveness. As a world-renowned SUV and pickup truck manufacturer, the company owns well-known brands such as Haval, WEY, Ora, Tank and Great Wall pickup, and was listed on the Hong Kong H-share market in 2003 and the domestic A-share market in 2011. With the continuous expansion of the production scale of enterprises, the demand for intelligent logistics handling is becoming more and more urgent. As the company's AGV centralized procurement supplier, AGV has helped its factories in Tianjin, Baoding, Taizhou, Rizhao, Shangrao, Jingmen and Russia to handle intelligent logistics.
Customer needs
- Differentiated needs of multiple plants
There are significant differences in the production process, plant layout, and material characteristics between the six major domestic factories and Russian overseas bases, and it is difficult for traditional standardized AGVs to adapt.
- Flexible production challenges
The "lighthouse factory" mode of small batch and multi-variety requires the logistics system to have minute-level task response capability and path dynamic adjustment function;
- Global quality control standards
It is necessary to meet the quality system of the automotive industry and realize the whole process traceability and error-proof management from parts warehousing to vehicle off-line.
Solution
In the early stage of project implementation, the professional team of AGV conducted in-depth research and analysis on the production layout, material handling needs, and process flow of each factory, and designed personalized AGV application solutions according to the characteristics and needs of different factories. For example, in the Baoding factory, considering its complex production environment and a large number of parts handling needs, different types of AGVs are configured for it, including latent AGVs, forklift AGVs, etc., to meet the handling requirements of different materials.
Solution
Through 35 AGV trolleys and unmanned forklifts, the material storage, transportation and deployment of three instrument lines, door lines and interior lines are completed, and the AGVS dispatching system system is connected with the MES system, and the key information of each vehicle in production is tracked and monitored based on the AIDT digital twin platform to ensure that each AGV in production can complete production in accordance with customer order requirements and quality requirements.
Retrofit value
1. The material handling efficiency is increased by 30%, and the order response time is shortened by 20%.
The material supply on the production line is more timely and stable, which effectively reduces the downtime of the production line.
2. The labor cost is reduced by 25%, and the material loss cost is reduced by 15%.
With the introduction of AGVs, factories have reduced the number of porters; At the same time, the precise handling of AGVs reduces the damage and loss of materials during the handling process.
3. Real-time monitoring and data analysis to improve the overall level of intelligence
Through the digital platform and robot equipment, Great Wall Motor's "5A" (control automation CA, energy automation EA, process automation PA, safety automation SA, information automation IA) level intelligent factory will be built.
