The United States and Germany are the most automated countries!

Wang Zixin said that they are out, which is impossible, unless FAW mainly considers cost.

China's import of foreign equipment is for technology.They are all professionals in this area. Naturally, I know what the situation is like. Once foreign countries have good equipment to enter China, there will definitely be many people to research various technical materials.

"Old Wu, what are you nervous about? Let's do our best and listen to the destiny. As long as we try our best, it's enough." Yun Fei naturally knew what Wu Yue was thinking.

He didn't bother to answer Wang Zixin's question.

"Wang Zixin, help me make an appointment with Feng Yueling, and I will talk to him at night." Yun Fei felt that he should take the initiative to talk to the other party.

At this time, Feng Yueling was chatting very happily with Henry Root, the person in charge of the bidding for the French Sign Equipment Company.

"Feng, you have absolute rights in this matter. You can announce the result as soon as possible? Compared to the Americans and Germans, although our degree of automation is slightly insufficient, our price is hundreds of millions of dollars less than theirs!" Quickly, Henry Root changed the subject.

Hearing this, the smile on Feng Yueling's face instantly froze.

The Frenchman’s request was a bit sudden. At first, although he promised that as long as the Peugeot equipment production line is not much worse than other competitors and the price is lower, he can help mediate from it, but there is absolutely no promise that the French can directly win the bid!

Now the French became so anxious.

"Mr. Henry, I think you drank too much? Our bidding, everything must be strictly in accordance with the process..." Feng Yueling said sternly.

Although the French production line is improved from Peugeot's existing production line, Peugeot is in use, but there is no problem at all, but why the above suddenly requires large-scale automation, Feng Yueling is like a cloud in the mist.

"Feng, didn't you promise?" Henry Root said suddenly very unhappy.

"What have I promised? Mr. Henry, your family is kind to me, I am personally very grateful, but..." Feng Yueling's expression also fell cold."This time, the superiors suddenly proposed the use of automated technology and equipment, and they were only notified before the screening..."

After two decades of reform and opening up, China has become the world's factory.Many industries in China occupy a pivotal position in the world.

However, all of this is quantity.

China is an industrial power, not an industrial power.

If we continue to expand the scale instead of taking the high-tech route, according to the current trend, China's economic prosperity will not last long.Therefore, China must move from an industrial power to an industrial power, and what can correctly guide the development of these industries is the role of state-owned factories.

For a large-scale equipment manufacturing company like FAW, it does not actually need a large team of workers in the production process of complete vehicles.

And the largest number of employees is the upstream supporting factories of various spare parts.

This is the explanation Yun Fei got.

Yun Fei did not reveal where the explanation came from.

"The country intends to use this as an opportunity to promote the development and construction of domestic automation control on a large scale?" Cheng Feng was very puzzled about this problem.

"This is something the country's leaders consider, we don't have to worry about it." Yun Fei said indifferently."I'm just telling you that we have a great opportunity here."

Cheng Feng nodded and said nothing.

"Boss, Mr. Feng said something is going on at night..." Wang Zixin didn't dare to say this loudly, for fear that Yun Fei would send his anger on her.

Yun Fei nodded slightly indifferently, saying that he knew: "If you have no time, you have no time. I want to see tomorrow how advanced technology these guys are willing to export to China."

Anyway, the technologies of various companies will be displayed tomorrow, which is what Feng Yueling said of openness, justice and fairness.

The technology display of each company is not afraid of being copied, because whoever FAW finally chooses cannot allow the winning bidder to adopt the design of another company. In the key design, everyone knows that it should be kept secret.But this time FAW is also strong enough to either agree or withdraw.

"The biggest feature of our design is that robots occupy a high proportion of the entire production line assembly. A large number of simple and repetitive tasks are all performed by professional robots. At present, the welding production line, stamping production line, and coating production line can be fully automated. ...And the professional robots used in the first-line production are provided by Boston Dynamics, the world's number one robot..." The U.S. automobile industry has the highest ratio of workers to robots, and this is something the whole world knows.

"The production efficiency of this design is 8.8% higher than that of the production line currently used by General Motors..." Kester, the head of General Equipment, proudly introduced their production line.

These production lines are not currently used by General Motors.

The cost is too high.

"Mr. Kester, what is the maintenance cost for such a high proportion of robots? How to deal with professional technical maintenance?" Costs must also be considered.

Feng Yueling's questions are basically questions about all companies.

The answer is simple and the same-responsible for training Chinese technicians so that they can deal with simple and common faults, and the professional-level core technology will be handled by the Americans' own technicians.They can provide some professional and technical personnel for China, provided that the Chinese side must pay sufficient salary...

"We plan to fully automate stamping, welding and painting, and semi-automated assembly...'

The design scheme provided by General Equipment Manufacturing Company, although on the surface looks very automated, is not more automated than the production line jointly provided by Japan’s Toshiba and Mitsubishi.

The Japanese are struggling to win this business this time.

In their market, internationally, the United States used Japan as an excuse to develop weapon-grade atomic energy, which brought Japan's exports to the United States to a halt and dealt a severe blow to the entire Japanese economy.

Yun Fei thought that the two companies were bidding separately, and only now discovered that the two companies were actually bidding together!

The United States provides a production line program, the ratio of humans to robots is 86:1, while Japan is 102:1. Germany did not introduce their technical solutions. The Chinese people know their production lines better.

In France, it is basically two hundred to one.

"What we need is not the proportion of robots in the production process. We need the lowest cost, the highest degree of automation, and the lowest operation and maintenance costs!" Feng Yueling emphasized this.

At present, each project is a preliminary design plan, and there is no need to understand the details at present.

Only after the general plan is determined, can the details be determined.

With such a large scale of automated production, who wants to complete the detailed design for free?

"Everyone, although our Jiuyi Heavy Industry Equipment Manufacturing Company is the youngest in this respect, I think it can be done with simple drawings and slides in this respect. Before the introduction, I hope I can delay you. In minutes, let’s finish reading a section of the three-dimensional simulation of our production line's production and operation conditions using supercomputers..."

Wu Yue worked hard on this for a long time. After arriving at the Jiuyi Group, he became tainted with the design habits of the Jiuyi Research Institute. Any design must model all the parts through 3D design, and then The parts are assembled into a production line, and conditions are set for simulation operation.

This design software is a design verification software that CAXA has developed since 1991 and has been constantly making modifications.

This is Yunfei’s proposal, which has attracted the attention of CAXA, a subsidiary of China Academy of Machinery Automation. Jiuyi Research Institute has been putting forward various suggestions for improvement. At present, many research institutes in China have begun to use this Three-dimensional software……

This is actually a video, not very long.

The various equipment in the video basically run automatically. Starting from the stamping process, there are two robotic arms standing next to each heavy-duty punch, just like the punches themselves. An automatic assembly line with a width of two meters.

All the processes are basically the same rhythm. The robotic arm first clamps and retracts the blanks processed in a process on the assembly line. Under the control of the infrared detectors on both sides of the punch, the mold falls heavily, and instantly springs. Back, the robotic arm puts the processed parts on the outside assembly line, and the assembly line moves automatically...

"This is the fully automatic stamping production line we designed. The production of each part takes only eight seconds. In this workshop, the role of human beings is to ensure the effective operation of these equipment, and the mold does not reach the programmed wear level. , The whole line will run continuously..." For the shocked people in front of him, Wu Yue pressed the pause button with satisfaction.

This design was made after almost two years of painting..

This plan has not been fully designed.

"Mr. Wu, what we need is an automated production line, not a conceptual production line that uses 3D simulation software and the computing power of a supercomputer..." Feng Yueling had never seen this plan, but it was really shocking.

Just look at the shocked eyes of those Americans, Japanese, and even Germans.

"This is impossible! At present, in the entire world, it is impossible to achieve such a degree of automation, especially the accurate positioning of the car shell in the stamping process..." Kester was the first to react from shock.(The novel "Intelligent Industrial Empire" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lucky draw gift for everyone!
