On March 8, the famous financial writer Wu Xiaobo came to a ceramic sanitary ware production base in Yongchun County, Quanzhou, Fujian. When Wu Xiaobo saw that glazing, handling, palletizing, quality inspection and other work types had all disappeared and were replaced by robots of all kinds, Wu Xiaobo was surprised and wrote the article "Come to China to See the Toilet Factory". He wrote at the end of the article: "It has only been six years, but the world has been completely new. If we give ambitious Chinese entrepreneurs another six years, what kind of situation do you think might happen?" Between the lines, his views on China's manufacturing industry are revealed. The emotion and admiration for the rapid transformation.
What kind of "toilet factory" shocked Wu Xiaobo so much? Most people may have guessed that it is Jomoo Yongchun 5G Production Base. The production base is located in Jiumu Yongchun Smart Manufacturing Industrial Park. The park project was launched in 2017 with a total investment of 1 billion yuan. That year, the 5G concept had just taken shape, and a 5G base station had not yet been built in China, so everyone thought it was an experimental product with unpredictable success or failure. As an investor, Jomoo has selected Siemens, China Telecom and Huawei as project partners, responsible for the overall architecture design of the digital factory, 5G network laying and cloud computing, and intelligent hardware supply respectively. It is reported that there are more than 1,000 sensors alone in the equipment throughout the factory. In April 2020, Jomoo's Yongchun 5G production base was officially put into operation. The current production capacity of ceramic toilets has reached 400,000 pieces/year, and it enjoys the reputation of being the world's first 5G digital smart ceramic factory.
5G ceramic factories are not just empty slogans about the concept of "intelligent manufacturing". It is understood that through the application of 5G technology, Jomoo Yongchun 5G production base has achieved a compound increase in production efficiency of 35%, a compound reduction of energy consumption per unit output value of 7%, and industrial R&D The cycle is shortened by an average of 15 days per year. In addition, Jomoo's 5G cloud manufacturing has opened up the connection between the sales end and the manufacturing end. Through production digitization, management visualization, C2F personalized rapid customization, safe production controllability rate is 100%, solid and dangerous goods control is 100%, and production efficiency has been improved by 50%. % zero inventory production method. Jomoo Ceramics Intelligent ResearchAs a fully automatic production technology research base, the institute's production efficiency is 65 times higher than that of traditional ceramic production; Jomoo's C2F rapid customization system realizes one-stop space-based intelligent customization business process management that integrates one-click quotation, ordering, installation and after-sales, achieving "1 hour" Designed and manufactured in 24 hours"...
Jomoo Yongchun 5G production base allows us to see a demonstration of the transformation of the ceramic industry through digitalization to improve quality, reduce costs, and increase efficiency.

“The so-called intelligence and Industry 4.0 are trying to solve two century-old core issues in the manufacturing industry: cost reduction and efficiency improvement.” Wu Xiaobo’s comment is fully reflected in Mona Lisa and Dongpeng, who are also engaged in ceramic manufacturing.
On March 8, Mona Lisa announced that the construction content of the "Green and Intelligent Technical Transformation of Special High-Performance Ceramic Plate" project has been adjusted to "expanding and increasing production of three kiln production lines through the introduction of equipment and reconstruction of kilns. Efficient and automated intelligent transformation.” After the transformation, the production capacity of the three kiln production lines of the Mona Lisa special high-performance ceramic plate project will reach 15.2 million square meters, improving the automation, intelligence, and green level of the production base.< strong>Per capita labor productivity will reach 5.5 million yuan.
In April 2020, Mona Lisa Teng County Production Base The first phase of 4 production lines was fully put into operation, representing Mongolia Na Lisa has taken a key step on the road of intelligent manufacturing in China and officially entered the new era of Mona Lisa's "Intelligent Manufacturing 4.0". The Mona Lisa Teng County production base uses a central control big data system to monitor the entire production process, making it a digital factory that truly realizes intelligent management and control. Automatic feeding of raw materials, continuous ball milling, spray-drying into powder, press molding, drying, glazing, kiln firing, polishing, automatic operation of picking, robot packaging...Technicians only need to issue instructions and monitor operating data in the control room , all production can be carried out step by step.
With the application of various advanced equipment and advanced systems, the Mona Lisa Teng County production base has improved its raw material single-line production capacity, batching accuracy, flexible production transition switching speed, optimization of production capacity configuration, and temperature control accuracy. , product flatness and waste heat recovery rate have been greatly improved. Since then, the production base has been labeled as efficient, high-quality, energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
Working as a worker in Mona Lisa's production workshop, the per capita labor productivity will reach 5.5 million yuan; working as a worker in Dongpeng's production workshop, the per capita output efficiency will be 1.5 times that of the past.
Dongpeng (Yongchuan) Smart Home Creative Industrial Park As Dongpeng’s first southwest ceramic production base, it carries the company’s development plans for 2025 The important mission of smart manufacturing and new layout of domestic production capacity. It is understood that Dongpeng Yongchuan production base has made huge investments in intelligent manufacturing. All production lines have adopted the most advanced intelligent manufacturing system. Cloud computing interacts with the Internet of Things in real time, and automation equipment is interconnected.Per capita output efficiency increases by more than 30-50%.
On the one hand, in order to support the transformation and upgrading of intelligent manufacturing in the "China Building Ceramics Industry 2025", Dongpeng has introduced a large number of cutting-edge technical equipment and intelligent manufacturing systems to its Yongchuan production base. Including: fully automatic intelligent production line, automatic billet storage track system, intelligent brick picking robot, intelligent digital central control system...
On the other hand, Dongpeng has always regarded innovation-driven and green development as its core corporate strategy. "Environmental protection, low emission, smoke-free factory" has become the pursuit and mission of the Yongchuan production base. It is reported that Dongpeng Yongchuan production base fully uses natural gas as fuel and is equipped with SCR low-temperature denitrification system and semi-dry desulfurization system to achieve ultra-low standard flue gas emissions; in addition, the introduced circulating water treatment system can realize 100% recycling of waste water.

During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, my country's industrial added value increased from 23.5 trillion to 31.3 trillion, becoming the world's largest manufacturing country for 11 consecutive years. However, "manufacturing power" is not the same as "manufacturing power". China's manufacturing industryuo;The road to transformation into "intelligent manufacturing" still has a long way to go.
The State Council's 2020 "Government Work Report" clearly states that it is necessary to "accelerate digital development, create new advantages in the digital economy, and coordinately promote digital industrialization and industrial digital transformation." Xiao Yaqing, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, said in an interview with reporters that the digital transformation of the economy is a general trend. It is necessary to grasp the development direction of digitalization, networking, and intelligence, comprehensively deploy the construction of new generation information and communication infrastructure such as 5G, industrial Internet, and data centers, implement digital transformation actions in the manufacturing industry, intelligent manufacturing projects, digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises, etc., and promote The new generation of information technology is fully integrated with the manufacturing industry, and the manufacturing and service industries are deeply integrated to accelerate the development of the digital economy. The most fundamental thing is to promote the development of the real economy.
It can be seen that continuing to promote the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry will become the focus of China's manufacturing industry to achieve new development in the future. There is no doubt that it is also what the entire ceramic industry strives for. direction. Before seeing the production bases of JOMOO, Mona Lisa, Dongpeng and other companies, most people’s stereotype of ceramic factories was still “backward and polluting”. Fortunately, there are always batches of entrepreneurs and technicians in the industry who have silently contributed to the "intelligent manufacturing transformation of the ceramic industry", which is why today's ceramic factory workers are gradually being replaced by machines.
In fact, not only on the production side, but also on the application side of ceramic products - decoration construction is also facing the replacement of labor by machines. At the end of last year, Bozhilin Robotics, a subsidiary of Country Garden, released 43 construction robots in 9 models at one time, causing a sensation. Subsequently, robots with various functions such as floor cleaning, indoor spraying, floor tile paving, wall tile paving, etc. came to work in batches. The construction efficiency of 1.5-4 times that of manual labor can maintain 24-hour operation every day. The quality of construction, The accuracy is completely better than labor, and the construction cost is far lower than labor.
If this trend continues, only robots may exist in ceramic production workshops and decoration sites in the future. This makes people laugh: In the future, even "moving bricks without studying" will become a luxury.
