white stamping machine is connected in series by feeding track machines, without manual operation, cutting, drilling and stamping are "completed in one go"; the box is moved forward to a fixed area through the track machine, and the elevator rises rapidly, accurately transporting the box to the assembly workshop... With the empowerment of 5G, a washing machine is offline every 15 seconds, and will also be accelerated to 0 seconds/home in the future.
With the first fully automatic single-washing drum washing machine being launched, Midea Group Washing Machine Jingzhou Industrial Park has officially started production. This is the third largest production base of Midea Group's washing machine business department after Wuxi and Hefei. After the full production of drum washing machine and dryer annual production capacity exceeds 5 million units, and the output value exceeds
0 billion . The production of the industrial park also marks the full operation of "5G fully connected factory" in the world's first home appliance manufacturing field. This is also a microcosm of Midea Group helping China's manufacturing industry to transform and upgrade as a whole.

"5G fully connected factory" refers to a new industrial Internet infrastructure created by fully utilizing the integration of new generation information and communication technologies represented by 5G. Midea Group Washing Machine Jingzhou Industrial Park makes full use of the industrial Internet, robot automation and other software and hardware technologies independently developed by Midea Group, and combines innovative technologies such as 5G, AI, and big data. It is a benchmark factory with equipment automation, production transparency, logistics intelligence, management mobility and decision-making data. He Qingchun, director of lean manufacturing of Midea Washing Machine Business Department, told reporters: "Midea Washing Machine Jingzhou Industrial Park has truly realized that the entire scene of the industrial park is dependent on 5G in the first time, and the comprehensive realization of interconnection and interoperability is implemented into actual production and operation activities."
The reporter learned that there are 5 5G signal towers outside the entire factory. The entire industrial park is produced and operated under the coverage of 5G. All stand-alone equipment will be online, and finally the automation of all data collection. The industrial park has more than 1,000 automation machines and equipment, and 5 application scenarios. Each production link is "seamlessly connected" through 5G terminal equipment, eliminating the complex pipelines in ordinary workshops, and the automated machines run faster.
He Qingchun said that from the perspective of manufacturing level, the Jingzhou base has been planning the overall plan from the beginning of its design with the concept of comprehensive digitalization and comprehensive intelligence, and adopts the most advanced intelligent logistics technology and automated robot technology in the industry to fully apply it. 33 digital scenarios to achieve full coverage. Its intelligent manufacturing level is not only within the Midea, but also in the entire manufacturing industry, but also in the digital and intelligent factory. Once completed, it will realize the level of World Lighthouse Factory .
Midea Washing Machine Jingzhou Industrial Park Assembly Workshop has achieved a high-digital and intelligent
In recent years, Midea Group has gradually built high-end electronic R&D and manufacturing capabilities, upgrading from home appliance companies to technology-driven and innovation-driven technology groups. This year, the new Midea Refrigerator Jingzhou factory, which was newly rated as "World Lighthouse Factory" , combines the application of industrial Internet, big data, intelligent simulation and other technologies, the factory digital transformation office integrates digital resources, and labor productivity has increased 52% , the delivery time has been shortened 5% , and the quality defect has been reduced 64% .

Midea washing machine Hefei factory realizes the entire process of domestic and foreign sales 1 links, 20 nodes, and 64 different dimensions of data, including the entire process of customer orders from demand forecasting, intelligent production scheduling, production and manufacturing, downline direct delivery, and logistics and transportation.The delivery cycle is shortened by 56% compared with three years ago, the direct delivery rate of downlines has increased 50% , and the per capita efficiency has increased 51.6% . In May this year, Midea Group also launched a digital technology industrial park project in Foshan, Guangdong Province. Focusing on the most core, cutting-edge and most potential business segments, has built a national industrial 4.0 intelligent manufacturing demonstration base and low-carbon green park.
Construction of an intelligent manufacturing factory is just a chapter in the exploration of Midea Group's technological transformation. Midea Group has gradually formed Industrial Internet, comprehensive digitalization, and comprehensive intelligent and other complete intelligent manufacturing solutions, which not only improves its own efficiency, but also empowers the transformation of the manufacturing industry to intelligent manufacturing.
In 2012, Midea Group launched the digital transformation of . In 2014, it proposed "smart manufacturing + smart home " "dual intelligence strategy" . Ten years later, Midea Group has an intelligent interconnection ecosystem based on the prototype of DTC digital platform, AIoTh device interconnection, industrial human-computer interconnection and other fields in smart homes, smart buildings, smart logistics and other fields.
At present, my country is vigorously implementing intelligent manufacturing projects. Data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that as of 2021, my country has built more than 1,700 digital workshops and smart factories. Up to now, my country has cultivated more than intelligent manufacturing system solution suppliers, and the level of intelligent manufacturing in the fields of home appliances, refining, printing and dyeing is at the world's leading level.
Digital reform not only supports Midea Group to achieve the performance of 's revenue growth of nearly 3 times, net profit growth of nearly 4 times, and market value growth of nearly 9 times in 10 years, but also provides the industrial software "new base" with , and cultivates 4 world "lighthouse factories".
empowered by Meiqing industrial Internet platform, factory order delivery cycle has decreased 56%, channel inventory has decreased year-on-year 40%; through Internet of Things technology and NB -IOT module realizes real-time monitoring of operating conditions, labor efficiency improves 52% , reduces 6% , and reduces 20% energy consumption of a single unit; through an end-to-end flexible supply chain control tower, visual and transparent management of the entire process of domestic and foreign sales and data in different dimensions, minimizing delivery risks.
This year, Midea Group started a new journey under the guidance of the "digital drive" strategy, and proposed new goals from five aspects: digitization of business, data business, digital technology , AIoT, and digital innovation , adding a "new engine" to China's digital economy and China's manufacturing.
