Qingtongxia Aluminium Industry Co., Ltd, a subsidiary owned by Ningxia Energy Aluminium Co., Ltd. and recognized as a prominent state-owned enterprise within China's Nonferrous Metals Industry, has officially commenced its operational activities. This milestone signifies the transformation of Qingtongxia Aluminium into the inaugural 5G-integrated smart factory within the domestic electrolytic aluminium sector.
The factory's achievement establishes it as a pioneering exemplar for implementing intelligent manufacturing in the aluminium industry during the era of 5G technology. Additionally, it has set a precedent for the digitalized and smart evolution of the Qingtongxia Aluminium Industry, reflecting a novel trajectory for its growth.
The construction of the Centralized Control Centre project commenced on March 10, 2023. This initiative incorporates several key features, including regional data remote monitoring, remote diagnosis, centralized control, and comprehensive production report generation and analysis. The project is characterized by its cohesive design, emphasis on safety, adherence to standards, modular structure, and potential for future expansion.
The project establishes a robust production and operational management platform capable of various functions. These include remote real-time data collection, distant monitoring, thorough statistical analysis of data, display of historical data queries, generation of production reports, continuous monitoring of equipment statuses, as well as fault diagnosis and analysis pertaining to electrolysis, anode usage, power distribution, energy metering, and other system components.
Operators are empowered to oversee and manage production activities and equipment operations through the adopted management approach of "centralized monitoring and unified scheduling."
After an intensive four-month effort, the project has successfully traversed the entire lifecycle, encompassing design, installation, commissioning, trial operation, and ongoing execution. Presently, the centralized control centre stands seamlessly linked with critical systems such as electrolysis, anode, and power supply. This integration has facilitated remote control, real-time observation, precise measurement, and fine-tuned adjustment of operational parameters across all equipment within each system. This transformation marks a profound departure from the conventional operational paradigm within the electrolytic aluminium sector.
The once-prevailing challenges of dispersed workshops, remote stations, equipment decentralization, and the intricacies of coordinating numerous subsystems have all been deftly addressed. A paradigm shift has been realized through panoramic operational oversight, comprehensive statistical analyses, automated fault identification, and strategic production management. As a result, Qingtongxia Aluminium has taken firm strides towards the objectives of centralized, harmonized, and efficient management.
