From Manufacturing to "Intelligent Manufacturing": Nippon Paint Helps Komatsu Build a New Benchmark for Global Intelligent Manufacturing Industry Base
In the deepening of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's "Intelligent Factory Gradient Cultivation Action" and the acceleration of the manufacturing industry towards digitization, intelligent manufacturing bases are not only the core carrier of industrial upgrading, but also the key engine leading the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry. As a leading enterprise in engineering machinery manufacturing, Komatsu Group is accelerating the construction of the Shandong Jining Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Base, which deeply integrates production and manufacturing, technology research and development, and supply chain management, and is becoming an important pivot for Komatsu's global strategic layout. Nippon Paint, with its profound accumulation in the field of industrial building coating, has deeply participated in the construction of the base and customized a full scenario solution covering building protection and production environment optimization, helping Komatsu Group build a safe, efficient, and sustainable modern factory and jointly writing a new chapter in intelligent manufacturing.
Construction site of Komatsu Global Intelligent Manufacturing Industry Base project
Since the beginning of the base planning, Komatsu Group has positioned the construction of the base as a global benchmark factory for "intelligence, automation, and greening", to bear the responsibility of 70% of Komatsu's global component production and high-end engineering machinery manufacturing. To meet the stringent requirements of high-end manufacturing, factories face a dual challenge in terms of coating system protection. On the one hand, factory buildings need to resist the challenges of acid-base erosion and moisture oxidation in industrial environments, which can lead to wall aging and peeling; On the other hand, given the special requirements of high-end manufacturing for the production environment, the workshop not only needs to meet high-level safety and cleanliness requirements, but also needs to have extremely high flatness on the ground to carry high-frequency operations of heavy-duty forklifts and automated production equipment.
In response, Nippon Paint has tailored an exclusive protection system for the base with a scenario based solution, helping to create a safe, durable, and efficient production space. In terms of building protection, Nippon Paint has introduced high-performance steel structure anti-corrosion paint to enhance structural durability, create long-lasting, safe, and durable barriers for buildings, and lay a solid foundation for the safe operation of factories. To ensure the efficient and stable intelligent production space of Komatsu Factory, Nippon Paint uses flame-retardant and environmentally friendly coatings in its internal workshops. This not only builds a fire barrier for the production space, but also effectively reduces dust pollution due to its excellent antibacterial and mildew resistance, creating a clean and reliable production environment for high-precision equipment manufacturing. In addition, the intelligent logistics area is the "main artery" for material transportation in the base, and Nippon Paint has applied an intelligent manufacturing ground system solution that combines anti heavy load, high flatness, and anti cracking characteristics. It not only meets the strict requirements of the project for ground anti heavy load, but also achieves high-quality delivery of industrial flooring with millimeter level flatness control and excellent construction technology, providing efficient and stable ground support for the intelligent logistics system.
To ensure high-quality and efficient project implementation, Nippon Paint not only provides a high-quality product system and scenario based solutions, but also equips a professional technical service team to guide key construction processes throughout the entire process. With a one-stop delivery of "products+services", Nippon Paint assists in the implementation of project construction and provides sustainable safety protection for buildings and production.
Nippon Paint's intelligent manufacturing ground system solution ensures efficient and stable operation of logistics equipment
The project leader of Komatsu Global Intelligent Manufacturing Base stated, "Nippon Paint's industrial scene coating solution accurately meets the construction needs of the base, and the high standard construction quality and early delivery provide important guarantees for the project to be put into operation on schedule. This cooperation is not only a deep integration practice of coating technology and intelligent production, but also a stage exploration of the two sides on the road to industrial digitization transformation. We look forward to continuing to leverage our collaborative advantages in the future and providing more practical solutions for industrial digitization upgrading
Having been deeply involved in the field of industrial coating for many years, Nippon Paint has accumulated rich practical experience in intelligent manufacturing industrial scenarios and has successfully supported multiple intelligent manufacturing benchmark projects such as Ningde Times Ningde Base and Industrial Fulian Shenzhen Guanlan Factory. In the future, Nippon Paint will continue to grasp the trend of industrial digitization transformation, with coating technology covering all scenarios, injecting strong momentum into the upgrading of industrial buildings and the high-quality development of intelligent manufacturing in China.
