Weichai Speed: Sticking to the Integration of Two Achievements and Making “Made in China”

“Five years ago, our entire new product development cycle took 32 months to 36 months. Now we have reduced the development cycle of a new product to 24 months, which has greatly shortened the development cycle...” March 2016, In an interview, Wang Zhijian, director of the Weichai Engine Research Institute, gave such figures. Relying on informatization methods, it gathers the forces of global R&D. We now have 300 newly-developed product models each year, 10 times that of 2015.

In 2015, "Made in China 2025" was formally released, and proposed the strategic goal of realizing a strong manufacturing country in the future. Weichai combines its current reality, focusing on industry trends and future development needs, and continuously accelerating the integration of the two to promote the transformation and upgrading of enterprises. At present, the “Digital Engine Workshop for Automobile Engines” passed the acceptance inspection and the “Comprehensive Pilot Demonstration Project for Diesel Engine Intelligent Manufacturing” was successfully entered into the country. Smart Manufacturing Pilot Demonstration Project. The ERP, PDM, ISP and other systems have been fully upgraded. The online mall has been officially launched in the first phase, and the IT coverage has been continuously improved, providing powerful information support for the operation and control of enterprises.


Weichai Accelerates Development

"Two" deep integration promotes the transformation and upgrading of enterprises

In the past two years, domestic economic development has entered a new normal, and the mode of growth has begun to shift toward quality, efficiency, energy conservation, environmental protection, and intensive and efficient. The equipment manufacturing industry will face an environment of insufficient demand, overcapacity and increased competition for a long time. The rapid changes in the industry environment led Weichai to deepen the road to sustainable development through the deep integration of “two industries”.

Tan Xuguang, deputy chairman of the National People's Congress and chairman of Shandong Heavy Industry Weichai Group, said that the economic slowdown has made the industry very difficult, but this is not a bad thing for equipment manufacturing industry. Every crisis will have a group of companies sinking. Enterprises stand out. Weichai has taken active measures to stabilize growth while accelerating the deep integration of “two industries” and realizing the transformation and upgrading of the company.

More than ten years ago, when enterprises designed products using drawing drawings, during the product debugging process, if a small part of the product needs to be changed, it must be changed from the design of the drawings, ranging from a few dozen days. And when the introduction of CAD software design drawings, such changes can be completed in a few minutes. The power of informatization is evident.

Today, the enterprise's information construction has gone far beyond the introduction of some new technologies. Relying on a wide range of information systems, corporate management information is becoming more and more accurate. With more than 3,000 order numbers and over 10,000 parts and components, each process and every detail has a clear record of information. The cost of a single engine is even higher. Can be accurate to the point, through information, Weichai to a certain extent to achieve a "low-cost, high efficiency, high-quality to quickly meet the user's personalized needs."

Information construction has developed into a systematic project that penetrates into all aspects of the operation of an enterprise and forms an organic whole, guiding the company's various tasks. The foundation of informatization is the intelligentization of infrastructure, from product research and development to resource integration, from fine management of human resources to the integration of business finance, from customer relationship management to performance visibility, and so on.

Beginning in 2002, Weichai began to “flip chart” and “paperless office”, and then began to implement information systems such as ERP, Product Collaborative Development Platform (PLM), Manufacturing Execution System (MES), and information construction. It will start big. At present, Weichai has built up six resource management platforms and 58 information systems. It is oriented to business processes, and is oriented towards R&D, procurement, manufacturing, logistics, after-sales services, and manpower, finance, and office operations to create a digital environment. An enterprise group with a competitive advantage in the entire process.

In the next 3-5 years, Weichai will take "One Point, Two Aspects, One Verticality" as the working direction, that is, the market will be the entry point for business, practice the business model innovation, build an e-commerce platform, and gradually establish a customer-oriented Transformation of services; through the group management standardization and resource synergy, the integration of the upstream and downstream industry Chains within the group is realized; and through the enhancement of process IT capabilities, the company's refined operations and management capabilities are continuously enhanced, in accordance with “interconnection, integration, data, services, "Innovation, transformation" work principle, promote the process information construction in the aspects of interconnection of production equipment and products, open end-to-end processes in the enterprise, resource sharing and collaboration among enterprises. It can be expected that the deep integration of the two groups within the group will surely become an important outlet for the endogenous growth and smart transformation of the company, laying a solid foundation for the company to move from excellence to excellence.

Smart Manufacturing Achieves "Made in China" Benchmark

In the manufacturing process, Weichai spared no effort to create a “smart factory” and organically integrate the Internet and industrial production, widely popularized robots in key processes, and integrated intelligent manufacturing throughout the entire production process, effectively increasing production efficiency and improving product quality. Workers were liberated from high-risk, heavy labor processes.

In the processing line of the Weichai 1 plant, a black square box is part of the Atlas screwing machine system—the central control box. The tightening of the engine headstock bolts is a key part of the product quality. Each bolt must be tightened a few times. There is strict control of where the bolt is. Manual operation will inevitably lead to errors. Intelligent manufacturing turns all problems into nothing. Not only can the operation be accurate to the slightest degree, but also each defective product will be marked out. At the same time, the controller will give an alarm to remind, “Each cylinder head has four bolts, because the principle of strong bolts is to use only once, even if Only one of the bolts is not qualified, we must all be unloaded and set aside and reinstall it."

Smart manufacturing includes intelligent equipment, intelligent production, intelligence in products, intelligent management, and intelligent services.

“Our understanding of smart manufacturing is not limited to the intelligentization, automation, and digitization of production equipment, but extends to the operation of the entire company. That is, using the Internet to break through the various business end of the group and promote the connection of production elements from the 'primary physical level'. 'To 'Intelligent Business Networking' upgrade to achieve information sharing, highly integrated resources, and a significant increase in efficiency, etc.” said Cao Zhiyue, Weichai's director of power informatization, through the “Internet+” path to increase production efficiency, shorten development cycles, and improve Product quality and rapid delivery meet customer's individual needs with lower cost, high efficiency and high quality.

On January 27, 2016, Weichai Group and China Telecom Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement in the “Internet+Intelligent Manufacturing” field.

According to the strategic cooperation agreement, the two parties will focus on industrial network innovation and application, integration of manufacturing services, smart products, industrial big data, industrial chain collaboration and other important areas, and jointly explore and research the application of industrial Internet in the Weichai Group production line, comprehensive utilization of the entire Optical networks, wireless communications, Internet of things technologies, and big data technologies build digital workshops, smart factories, and smart products, and build industrial big data platforms, enterprise-level mobile application platforms, and industrial cloud platforms, and provide product development, production, and after-market services. Such as optimization cooperation, to achieve product life cycle closed-loop management.

In recent years, the results of informationalization in Weichai are obvious to all. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology granted Weichai "smart manufacturing pilot demonstration base" and "national informatization and industrialization in-depth integration of demonstration enterprises." Weichai is embracing the Internet gene, relying on intelligent manufacturing demonstration bases and digital workshops to build an intelligent manufacturing model with Weichai characteristics, and accelerate the development of Weichai's smart factories and industrial Internet plans, leading the company in the forefront of smart manufacturing.
