Zhoushan company designated national intelligent manufacturing demonstration factory

Zhengshan Manufacturing Innovation Co in Putuo district, Zhoushan, Zhejiang province has been shortlisted as a demonstration factory for intelligent manufacturing, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced on Oct 26. 

Zhengshan, which is based on automated production equipment and the industrial Internet, has been committed to developing the modern high-precision fastener manufacturing industry for many years. Its products are mainly applied in industries such as wind power, petrochemicals, bridges, heavy machinery, and aerospace.

In September this year, the phase 2 factory of Zhengshan was completed and put into trial production, further enhancing the level of enterprise intelligence, digitalization, and integration. The factory is equipped with an industry-leading heavy-duty long rod material three-dimensional warehouse, capable of storing long rods up to eight meters in length and weighing eight metric tons, with a maximum storage capacity of 6,000 tons.

This equipment delivers the material through a warehouse management system, increasing operating efficiency by 65.3 percent.

The factory has achieved full automation and intelligent operation management of the entire production process, including processing, transportation, and inspection, by establishing intelligent production lines.

The entire production process from raw materials to final products requires no manual operation. Currently, only around 10 employees are needed to maintain normal production, with a daily production capacity of over 90 tons of threaded sleeve products. This has effectively reduced production costs and improved production efficiency and product quality.

These selected demonstration factories are aimed at promoting the replication and dissemination of advanced experiences and successful models in intelligent manufacturing, which will in turn advance the high-quality development of national intelligent manufacturing.
