It is reported that to meet the requirements of intelligent management in the tower crane smart factory, such as intelligent production arrangement, transparent production process and real-time quality control, ZOOMLION has established a comprehensive and efficient manufacturing execution system (MES). The MES system consists of four levels from bottom to top: production line and equipment layer, system data layer, production management and control layer, decision support layer. To realize perceptible equipment based on intelligent devices; to realize data analysis by taking industry Internet platform as the carrier and integrating with equipment and production data; to create digital management system for production operation and realize executable production process by taking manufacturing execution system as the core; to realize decisive information by taking the big data platform as the decision analysis platform.
On the day of opening ceremony, ZOOMLION also launched three types of new smart products 4.0 PC flat-top tower cranes T6515, T6250 and T7525 out of the production line in the smart factory. Thanks to some world-leading technologies such as load-and-speed technology and high-efficiency slewing drive technology, all the three new products are featured with high efficiency, good interchangeability, high reliability and security as well as easy management. Meanwhile, they support remote transmission of working condition, phone APP management and remote alarm for abnormal working conditions. Through ZOOMLION e-assistant, the project management, maintenance reminding and accessory information access can also be realized. All these features make it a new benchmark for tower crane smart products.
After the opening ceremony, all the leaders and guests visited the park of tower crane smart factory and the exhibition hall, reviewed the history of ZOOMLION development, products, IOT platform, intelligent manufacturing, MES, etc., and highly praised its long history of tower crane development and advanced smart factory.
