Recently, the 374th issue of Contemporary Shaanxi published a special article titled "Factories Can "Think", Machines Can "Talk" - Fast Achieves 6 Hours of Unmanned "Dark Light Production", which deeply reported Fast's vivid practice and development achievements in leading the new track of digital economy by digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading to drive the coordinated development of the entire industrial chain, fully demonstrating the benchmark demonstration role of enterprises in promoting the high-quality development of intelligent manufacturing in our province.
Rows of industrial robots flexibly swing their mechanical arms to complete continuous actions such as grasping, clamping, and accurately assembling various small parts on fully automatic CNC machine tools; several 5G AGV carts shuttle back and forth, accurately and orderly dispatching materials and finished parts to the destination; on the smart screens in the big data analysis room and the joint conference area, all kinds of data are updated in real time, and the production dynamics are clearly visible; the three-dimensional warehouse directly reaching the roof automatically sorts and classifies products...
In Xi'an Fast High-Tech New Company, the traditional imprint of industrial enterprises as "rough, large, clumsy, and heavy" is not seen. Everywhere you look, machines communicate with each other in an orderly manner and work together in harmony. With the jumping program instructions, intelligent unmanned production is completed in one go: the gears, shafts, housings and other parts lying on the design drawings are born from the splashing cutting fluid and metal chips. They are assembled into heavy-duty truck transmissions and go to the global market.
"With the support of new technologies such as 5G and industrial Internet, our key equipment has 100% achieved identity recognition and digital management. From blank loading, parts processing to transportation, all operations are unmanned. All-weather, all-time, full-process automated production can achieve 6 hours of unmanned "dark light production." In the view of Zhao Jianlin, general manager of Fast Gear High Intelligence New Company, the connotation of "dark light factory" is far more than just the literal meaning. It not only implies a highly intelligent operation method, but also a systematic innovation that subverts the traditional production management model.
Fast, which is labeled as "old military industry, old state-owned enterprise, and old third-tier enterprise", was formerly the Shaanxi Automobile Gear Factory. Today, in the wave of digital and real integration, Fast's "smart manufacturing" gears are turning faster: production efficiency has increased by 72%, energy consumption has decreased by 14%, and product delivery cycle has been shortened by 20%. The new high-intelligence factory has been selected into the first batch of national "digital pilot" enterprises. In 2023, Fast sold 838,000 units of various assembly products such as transmissions, a year-on-year increase of 42%. The annual production and sales volume of heavy-duty vehicle transmissions has ranked first in the world for 18 consecutive years.
