　　At the beginning of 2020, the importance of "new infrastructure" has been frequently mentioned by decision-makers, and various regions are also focusing on increasing "new infrastructure" projects. Industry chain enterprises have also joined in. "Sany Heavy Industry actively responds to the national 'new infrastructure' policy, builds a 5G fully connected intelligent factory relying on 5G+MEC+AI, enables industrial Internet applications, and cooperates with 5G deterministic network industry alliance and other industrial organizations to continue to build a 5G industrial interconnection ecology, create a new industrial infrastructure digital base, and promote industrial technological innovation and economic development. ”Dong Mingkai, President of Sany Heavy Industry Intelligent Manufacturing Research Institute, stated at the "New Infrastructure 5G Industry Application Forum" hosted by China Industry and Information Technology Publishing and Media Group, organized by Information and Communication Media Communication World Media, and co organized by the 5G Deterministic Network Industry Alliance.

　　As we all know, the construction machinery manufacturing industry is an important field of 5G+industrial Internet applications. Sany Heavy Industry is not just a traditional mechanical manufacturing enterprise in people's minds, but is fully embracing high-tech and promoting the digital transformation and transition to intelligent manufacturing of the enterprise.

　　5G, as the infrastructure for digital transformation and intelligent manufacturing, is highly valued by Sany Heavy Industry. Sany Heavy Industry has widely applied 5G, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and other new technologies to improve the production and management efficiency of enterprises, and effectively reduce costs - Sany Heavy Industry's industrial Internet application with 5G as the core, runs through the main business process of Sany Heavy Industry, and has completed 8 categories of 31 subdivision scenario applications in total. At this forum, Dong Mingkai delivered a keynote speech on "Application Demonstration of Sany Heavy Industry's 5G Intelligent Factory", exploring with the attending guests how 5G can empower vertical industries.

　　Actively promote the large-scale application and scenario implementation of 5G

　　Sany Heavy Industry has taken 5G as an important lever and has made many explorations and created a series of 5G demonstration applications. In the context of 5G "new infrastructure" in 2020, Sany Heavy Industry actively implemented large-scale 5G applications and promoted the implementation of 5G application scenarios. On the forum, Dong Mingkai listed some early demonstration application scenarios of Sany Heavy Industry based on 5G, such as 5G based smart logistics, cloud based AGV realizing intelligent and unmanned material handling in factories; Based on 5G, the intelligent application of three video data, through AI image recognition, realizes intelligent management such as automatic recognition of safety helmets, and improves management efficiency; Based on 5G digital workstation management, realize the identification and optimization of all elements of human-machine, material, method, and environment at workstations; Create intelligent factory CPS based on the combination of virtual and real 5G+industrial Internet; Based on 5G AR/MR applications, simulate driving training for rotary drilling rigs.

　　At present, the smart park has achieved food quantity warning for smart restaurants. Through artificial intelligence algorithms, the recognition of food quantity and quantity, as well as timely warning when there are abnormal situations such as empty plates and insufficient food, has been realized. At the same time, smart management of parking lots has also been achieved. "Dong Mingkai shared with the attendees the smart park built by Sany Heavy Industry based on 5G+AI from a specific and detailed case.

　　The demand for digital and unmanned construction of road machinery is becoming increasingly urgent for large construction enterprises and key projects. However, the control systems provided by foreign companies such as TOPCON and MOBA in the market are expensive and there is a risk of national geographic information leakage, which brings us new development opportunities. ”Dong Mingkai stated that Sany Heavy Industry's 5G based intelligent unmanned road surface machine experiment has been successfully validated at a construction site in Shanghai. In addition, Sany Heavy Industry's 5G based electric unmanned mixer truck has become a benchmark demonstration in the Changsha park.

　　Building a 5G industrial interconnection ecosystem for Sany Group

　　基于如上所述的示范场景，三一重工与运营商、华为等企业深度合作，推进5G应用建设。比如，2019年全面引入5G技术，在北京率先启动5G虚拟专网的试验，同时创新了5G+MEC的视觉slam导航AGV，并已在三一重工示范应用。2019年，三一重工联合中国电信、华为在第二届工信部“绽放杯”5G大赛中“基于5G的智能网联AGV”荣获大赛一等奖。同时，三一重工联合中国联通在首届“工业互联网大赛”中，“5G及软件定义的云联网技术在装备制造领域的智能化应用”荣获大赛三等奖。

　　今年，三一重工在北京的两个园区——回龙观和南口产业园区已经推进了5G建设的落地工作。据介绍，回龙观园区已经完成了8个宏站建设、31个室分部署，南口园区已经完全了4个宏站建设、110个室分部署。“三一重工已完成回龙观和南口产业园室外区域以及桩机生产车间、重能1号生产车间5G网络信号覆盖建设，并且完成2套园区MEC边缘平台部署。同时，基于智能制造应用的5G工业专网已在南园区桩机工厂建设完成，实现5G网络和桩机内网的互联互通。”董明楷透露。

　　至于三一重工的未来发展方向，董明楷表示，三一重工将持续从数字化转型以及未来智能制造的发展出发，希望在5G‘新基建’的趋势下，实现装备、物料和人员的物联，也包括C端智能产品的物联，并融合边缘计算、云计算，实现协同生产，满足客户及供应链个性化及定制化需求。

　　5G﹢工业互联网方兴未艾，必将在工业制造领域衍生出更多应用场景。“三一重工将联合5G确定性网络产业联盟、5G产业应用方阵、工业互联网产业联盟等产业组织，构筑三一集团5G工业互联生态、打造工业级新型基础设施数字底座，推动行业技术创新和经济发展。”董明楷最后如此表示。
