One stop Foshan - beautiful

The first visit is Midea's magnetron workshop, sheet metal workshop and injection molding workshop, the whole production process has not seen the busy figure of the workers, instead of robots to complete the assembly of precision parts, AGV carries materials back and forth to easily avoid obstacles, automatic logistics line realizes accurate warehousing of materials/semi-finished products and finished products, and AI detection accurately inspects product defects...... In this world's largest microwave oven factory, engineers can accurately carry out supplier management, quality management, factory management, equipment management, and energy management through the real-time updated digital master control center. On the large screen of the factory, you can see that the operation status and various production data of each production line of the entire factory are clear at a glance, and you can also track the location and steps of each order production in real time, which truly realizes the digitalization of the factory, greatly liberates the labor, improves production efficiency, and reduces production costs.

Subsequently, the students went to the headquarters of Midea to visit the exhibition hall of Midea headquarters to learn about the development process of Midea's intelligence and digitalization, which showed the development history, corporate culture, business philosophy, product technology, industry honors, etc., so that you have a deeper understanding of Midea's innovative products and technologies.

In the history museum of Midea, listen to the narrator tell the spirit of beauty with stories, and the customized multimedia scheme makes the image of Midea Group condensed and reproduced in the exhibition hall.

In the afternoon, the director of Midea's branch and the senior consultant of intelligent manufacturing brought two wonderful theme sharing sessions to the students, comprehensively and profoundly helping everyone understand the architecture, promotion and specific practice of Midea's digital transformation, and emphasized that the digital effect will be better on the basis of lean manufacturing, and the investment philosophy and strategy of enterprises in the process of digital transformation will undergo great changes.

On the morning of March 10th, the trainees first visited the Foshan Jiebei factory and had in-depth exchanges with the executives of Jiebei on the practical experience of lean manufacturing, went deep into the lean production site, and learned the thinking and methods of lean production mode, so that the students could learn the essence of lean production mode without going abroad.

Foshan Jiebei's 5S and VM (visual management) have reached an in-depth and stable level, which is no less than that of Japan's local lean model enterprises. After the visualization of equipment maintenance and warehouse management is further integrated with digitalization, it has made leaps and bounds, providing feasible ideas for the lean transformation and upgrading of manufacturing enterprises. It is of great reference significance for many local Chinese enterprises who are committed to exploring lean practical experience according to local conditions.

In the afternoon, the professional course of "Digital Transformation of Manufacturing Industry" shared by experts in the field of digitalization explained the top-level thinking of digital transformation in depth, analyzed the internal connection of the seven major systems of intelligent manufacturing and the methods of promoting intelligent manufacturing, and helped students summarize the experience and lessons in the process of intelligent manufacturing through a large number of cases.

The whole trip was full of dry goods, the rhythm was tight, and the students said that they were worth the money, and through this study, they understood the problems and solutions encountered in the process of promoting intelligent manufacturing; Feel the unique charm of Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing under digital transformation.
