EcoStruxure factory overall solution: providing intelligent manufacturing path
Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure factory solution is an IoT integrated solution based on leading informatization, automation, IT infrastructure, power distribution, and building control, helping auto companies build smart and green factories. Among them, Schneider Electric's powerful MES manufacturing execution system adopts stable and reliable industrial SCADA as the basic platform for development, focuses on standard process flow, and finally realizes from real-time monitoring of production line data, resource integration, information sharing and rapid deployment of production line The end-to-end whole process from the supplier to the customer can be traced; the Schneider Electric EcoStruxure open automation platform effectively solves the problems of portability, configurability and interoperability of application software among automation manufacturers by decoupling software and hardware, and promotes engineering Efficiency leaps in design and operations.
Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure IoT industrial Internet platform is a "cutting-edge weapon" for green and intelligent manufacturing in the automotive industry. Intelligent transformation is a data-driven industrial revolution. For the automotive industry, it is necessary to interconnect production equipment, collect, store, and highly utilize data in order to achieve the goal of digital transformation. EcoStruxure IoT Industrial Internet Platform, as an open, elastic and scalable industrial Internet platform, can integrate isolated data sources of multiple systems/multi-sites and realize high-speed storage and calculation of massive data, and improve insight into heterogeneous asset groups through built-in analysis tools It can quickly and flexibly build digital applications and realize low-cost operations. It supports cloud deployment, private cloud deployment, and local stand-alone deployment, and seamlessly connects Schneider Electric hardware and systems, as well as digital applications in the fields of energy and asset management, to help customers realize digital and intelligent transformation. Through this platform, the smart factories of automobile enterprises can vertically integrate automation and informatization, horizontally realize the end-to-end integration of the value chain, and realize the construction of value networks in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.
Helping auto companies to accelerate the implementation of intelligent networking
At present, Schneider Electric has promoted many automobile industry enterprises to accelerate the process of digitalization and intelligence with its integrated software and hardware solutions for the automotive industry. Based on the EcoStruxure factory solution for the automotive industry, Schneider Electric provided Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle with an intelligent manufacturing platform and 5G solution based on the AVEVA system platform and EcoStruxure factory consultants, helping it build a digital information system covering the entire production process, The utilization rate of equipment is increased by about 10%, the efficiency of personnel is increased by 15%, and the life of equipment is extended by about 25%.
In addition, Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure IoT industrial Internet platform also helped a leading heavy-duty vehicle company solve the problems of isolated information islands and business incoordination, opened up equipment, data and systems at the group level, and realized rapid decision-making and transparency in the production process And production data is paperless, thereby greatly reducing the failure rate of equipment, and realizing the visualization of production status through production line visualization and digital twin technology to ensure the smooth production of automobiles.
With the deep integration of digital technology and the manufacturing industry, how to promote the high-end and intelligent transformation of the industry is an important question for automobile manufacturers. Schneider Electric will help automobile manufacturers realize the implementation of "smart factories" in a true sense through innovative products, technologies and solutions, and contribute to the intelligent transformation of the automobile industry.
