On the new journey towards high-quality development, it is necessary to accelerate the rise of strategic emerging industries and continuously transform and upgrade traditional industries. The simultaneous flight of both wings is not contradictory to the development of kinetic energy conversion and energy level enhancement.
Since 2019, Shandong, a major industrial province, has continuously implemented "ten thousand technological upgrades and ten thousand enterprise transformations", with a cumulative investment of over 5 million yuan in more than 50000 technological upgrade projects. The coverage of intelligent technological upgrades for industrial enterprises above designated size has exceeded 70%.
The production organization is more intelligent, the development model is greener, and the industrial foundation is more advanced. A group of traditional industrial enterprises are constantly emerging, including lighthouse factories, green factories, and future factories. Shandong's industrial technological transformation has "changed" into a new atmosphere, "transformed" into a Xintiandi, and accelerated the development of Shandong's economy towards green, low-carbon and high-quality development.
Lin Shen sees deer, and he dances in the deep to catch fish. Shandong Province proposes to continue focusing on key industries to implement industrial technological upgrading actions, enhance the status and competitiveness of traditional advantageous industries in the national and even global industrial division of labor, and further consolidate the foundation of the modern industrial system.
Smart factories are emerging intensively
In the production workshop of Shandong Maibaohe Fitness Equipment Co., Ltd. located in Ningjin County, Dezhou City, the product name, production process, equipment operation status, energy consumption and other data are prominently displayed on the production management screen. Through the full process intelligent transformation and digital transformation, work efficiency has been improved by 30%, "said Zhang Shunyong, the company's general manager.
It is common for industrial enterprises in Shandong to transform production methods and efficiency through technological transformation.
Industry has always been the "main engine" of Shandong's economic development, accounting for nearly one-third of the province's economic system. Among them, traditional industries account for nearly 70% and are the fundamental sector of Shandong's economy.
In promoting the transformation of old and new driving forces and accelerating the process towards high-quality development, Shandong has put forward the idea of "resolutely eliminating backward driving forces, resolutely transforming and enhancing traditional driving forces, and resolutely cultivating and strengthening new driving forces"; Among the "Top Ten Industries" for key development in Shandong, advantageous traditional industries occupy half of the country.
Since 2019, focusing on upgrading traditional industries, Shandong Province has targeted high-end, intelligent, and green directions, highlighting demand orientation, problem orientation, result orientation, and goal orientation. It adheres to the combination of market leadership and government guidance, the combination of transforming and upgrading traditional driving forces with developing new driving forces, and the combination of incremental factor investment and eliminating inefficient and backward production capacity. The province has organized the preparation and implementation of the "Three Year Action Plan for Enterprise Technological Transformation and Upgrading (2023-2025)". The Shandong Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is promoting the transformation and upgrading of a number of key traditional industries such as steel, chemical, non-ferrous, building materials, textile, and light industry in accordance with the "one industry, one strategy" policy. It is identifying the technological transformation needs and financing needs of industrial enterprises in various regions, and accurately connecting technology transformation service providers with financial institutions and higher education institutions; The provincial government will coordinate its own financial budget and other funds, implement provincial-level "special loans for technological transformation" subsidies for interest and guarantee fees, and solve the worries of enterprise technological transformation.
In the production workshop of Shandong Daye Co., Ltd. Steel Curtain Intelligent Factory located in Zhucheng, lightweight AGV robots can move freely on clean and tidy ground, accurately completing the transportation of semi-finished products. After going offline, the products are sorted by intelligent logistics and enter the warehouse center, ready to be sent to domestic and foreign customers.
Xu Haitao, Deputy General Manager of Shandong Daye Co., Ltd., introduced that the steel curtain intelligent factory has overcome multiple technical difficulties and established a full process information collection MES system, fully automatic logistics system, and intelligent process control system, achieving dual improvement in production efficiency and product quality. The entire process has achieved information management, with a product qualification rate of over 99.8% and a production efficiency increase of 10%, "he said.
Equipment chip replacement, equipment cloud deployment, production line replacement, and machine replacement have made factories increasingly intelligent, and the number of lighthouse factories and green factories continues to increase. Artificial labor is gradually moving away from production positions with high labor intensity and safety risks such as welding, spraying, and handling.
At Weichai (Weifang) Material Forming Manufacturing Center, on the casting line where molten iron rolls and heat waves evaporate, robotic arms and cranes completely occupy the workstations, and only manual labor is available for forklift driving, molten iron melting, and other processes. Vice General Manager Wang Yongji of the center introduced that the high temperature of casting operations is a key area for "machine replacement". At present, the automation rate here has exceeded 60%, replacing more than 400 employees since the end of 2021. The center is targeting the complex smelting and other processes, continuing to promote automation, and striving to quickly tackle the "hard bones".
The transformation brought by technological transformation to enterprise production is not only reflected in efficiency, but also in product quality.
Rows of weaving machines rotate rapidly, and various mechanical arms tirelessly swing and operate - at Weihai Baowei New Material Technology Co., Ltd. located in Huancui District, Weihai City, the entire process from material input to finished product output is automated production. Intelligence not only improves production capacity, but also maintains stable product quality, which has won us the trust of more high-end customers, "said Jiang Bo, Chairman of Weihai Baowei New Material Technology Co., Ltd.
Zhang Haibo, Director of the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Shandong Province, said that focusing on key industries such as chemical industry, metallurgy, machinery, light industry, textile, and building materials, Shandong's industrial technological upgrading action has been deeply implemented, advanced and applicable technologies have been accelerated, the status and competitiveness of traditional advantageous industries have steadily improved, and the foundation of the modern industrial system is further consolidated.
Carbon reduction, pollution reduction, and green development open up a new chapter
At the site of the technological upgrade and renovation project of the synthetic ammonia plant of Shandong Union Chemical Group, large machinery is operating intensively and orderly, creating a lively scene.
Alliance Chemical Group is one of the top 100 chemical enterprises in China. Due to its long construction time and relatively backward technology, it has repeatedly reduced production in limited quantities due to environmental issues. To this end, they eliminated old processes and equipment and invested 2.29 billion yuan to create world-class processes. According to Sang Hailiang, Deputy Manager of Shandong Union Chemical Co., Ltd., the project is expected to reduce emissions of nearly 1000 tons of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides annually after completion.
Traditional industries are often major energy consumers and emitters. From the perspective of energy consumption, the direct and indirect coal consumption of Shandong's five major industries, namely steel, electrolytic aluminum, chemical, cement, and petrochemical, accounts for half of the province's total. Under the pressure of implementing the new development concept and relevant national policies, traditional industries represented by high energy consumption and high emissions have become an inevitable choice to achieve low-carbon and green development through technological transformation.
In 2019, five ministries including the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the "Opinions on Promoting the Implementation of Ultra low Emissions in the Steel Industry". Faced with this "highest" standard in history, Shandong Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. Laiwu Branch, located in the city of Beijing Tianjin Hebei atmospheric pollution transmission channel with relatively lagging environmental protection facilities, is facing a tough battle.
Invest 435 million yuan to build a skeleton film raw material greenhouse and intelligent material yard, with a fully enclosed 280000 square meter raw material yard; Sealing work for belt corridors, factories, and material sheds of each unit and production line; Implementation of a number of key projects, including the management of unorganized emissions and the construction of an integrated platform for emissions control and management; 52 electric heavy-duty trucks have been put into use... With an investment of over 6 billion yuan, a "combination punch" has been launched, and Shandong Iron and Steel Corporation Laiwu Branch has vigorously promoted green and intensive production methods. On the basis of meeting ultra-low emission standards, the Laiwu branch will achieve a 60% proportion of steel smelting waste heat and energy generation in 2022, with significant energy-saving and emission reduction effects.
Sailun Group has achieved a reduction of over 36% in energy consumption at the factory manufacturing end through the substitution of renewable raw materials, the application of new rubber materials, and energy-saving and environmentally friendly processes;
Huafang Group will build an intelligent green factory in 2021, completing the upgrading and transformation of 48 green intelligent dyeing and printing production lines. The unit product's raw material consumption, water consumption, energy consumption, and pollutant emissions are all in a leading position in the industry
With the deepening of the new development concept and the "dual carbon" goal, green technological transformation has become a conscious action of some enterprises.
Entering Zibo Qixiang Tengda Chemical Co., Ltd., the reporter saw a garden style factory area. Even when approaching the company's sewage treatment plant, there is no odor to be smelled. Jiang Nengcheng, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Qixiang Tengda, introduced that on the basis of achieving 100% sealing, 100% greening, 100% compliance, and 100% elimination of odors, the enterprise has invested 70 million yuan to expand and renovate the sewage reuse device.
Data shows that during the 13th Five Year Plan period, the cumulative energy consumption per 10000 yuan of GDP in Shandong decreased by 20.4%, supported by an average annual energy consumption growth rate of 1.2% and an average annual GDP growth rate of 6.0%. In the first three quarters of 2022, the energy consumption per 10000 yuan of GDP in Shandong continued to decrease by 4%.
The process of clean and low-carbon development is accelerating, energy consumption is effectively controlled, and the level of green development in Shandong continues to improve. In the 2022 Green Factory Publicity List released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in February, 58 Shandong enterprises were selected. Prior to this, Shandong had accumulated 223 recognized green factories, ranking among the top in the country in terms of quantity. In the construction of provincial-level green factories carried out in Shandong Province, a total of 202 provincial-level green factories have been identified in two batches.
The "New Round of Three Year Action Plan for 'Four Reductions and Four Increases' in Shandong Province (2021-2023)" proposes to focus on industries such as steel, coking, casting, building materials, non-ferrous metals, and chemical engineering, and carry out full process clean, circular, and low-carbon transformation to promote the green transformation and upgrading of traditional industries; Promote the upgrading and transformation of restricted production capacity equipment in key industries, carry out ultra-low emission transformation in coking and cement industries, and promote deep pollution control in industries such as glass, ceramics, casting, and non-ferrous metals.
The level of the "Internet to Cloud" industry has reached a new level
The "cloud based intelligence" action covers more than 400 enterprises and more than 5000 sets of equipment in the local bearing industry. The "cloud axis connection" platform integrating technology flow, commodity flow, bill flow and storage flow creates the digital economy headquarters of China's bearing industry chain. The first secondary node of bearing industry Internet logo analysis is under construction. In Linqing City, Liaocheng City, the industrial Internet and traditional industrial technology innovation are colliding into a brilliant spark.
5G、 With the support of cloud computing and industrial Internet, Shandong's traditional industry is constantly building a high industrial foundation, breaking through the original limits, and accelerating the transition from "Made in Shandong" to "Intelligent Made in Shandong".
With strong traditional industry background and rich "digital intelligence" resources, Shandong has unique advantages in developing industrial Internet: it has domestic well-known industrial Internet platforms such as Hailcaos and Inspur Cloud Island; Two national Internet backbone direct connection points in Jinan and Qingdao were completed and opened, and the Shandong Peninsula Industrial Internet Demonstration Zone was approved for construction; AI computing power ranks first in the country; There are over 160000 5G base stations and IoT terminal access traffic ranks first in the country.
Cloud travels through Qilu, while industry is bestowed upon Shandong. One person can manage a workshop, and a few people can manage a factory. In some enterprises, dreams have become a reality.
