In people's impression, the tire factory is a hot, dirty and smelly place. And in this factory, technicians wear white coats like those worn by lab professors. The floor can see the ceiling like a mirror, and there is little smell of rubber. The whole factory is like a garden, and if you don't walk into the workshop, no one knows it's a tire factory. This intelligent factory, beautiful as a garden, has shocked the world!

The floor can see the ceiling because it's clean and unconvinced? Into the workshop, as if into the sci-fi scene: shuttle like Yan's AGV intelligent car, infinite power of intelligent joint robot, efficiency increase of more than 50% of intelligent molding machine, intelligent truss robot so that tire transport no longer pull the cart, highly intelligent vulcanization machine, fire-eye gold-eye-like intelligent X-ray detector. This is Shandong's double-star tire factory. The world's tire industry's first full-process "Industry 4.0" intelligent plant, upending people's traditional thinking, opened up the tire industry's full-process intelligent pioneer. International authorities and experts have visited the factory and gave a thumbs-up. It is also the only tire factory in the global tire industry that is open to the public.

The world's first commercial tire intelligent three-dimensional warehouse, all thanks to the enterprise's original MEP intelligent platform, which can include granular raw materials (or liquids), including a variety of items, people, equipment, location of information intelligent matching, become a user-directed, data-driven, software-running ecosystem. Even more amazing is that 80% of the equipment on the production line is designed and produced by enterprises, "bear the burden of humiliation" of 9 of the 11 kinds of robots are also designed and produced by enterprises themselves, labor efficiency increased nearly three times, the adverse rate reduced by more than 80%, products to achieve "high", enterprises from "sweat-type" to "intelligent", so that the world's intelligent manufacturing in China. In 2016, the world-stunning tire factory was born in Dongjiakou Economic Zone in Qingdao, China, and her name is "Double Star" and she is known as "China's leading tire manufacturer of intelligent manufacturing". CCTV, Xinhua News Agency and other mainstream media have sent reporters to the scene of research, and in the "news broadcast" and other programs have done a number of special reports. Double-star tires have been named "China's first tire brand" by the World Brand Lab, chaired by Nobel Prize-winning economist Professor Robert Bull Mondale. Double Star became the only enterprise in five years to be awarded the "brand cultivation", "technological innovation", "quality benchmark", "intelligent manufacturing", "green manufacturing", "green products", "green supply chain" and "service transformation" pilot demonstration of the whole industry chain.

It is understood that Shandong Province as the representative, the country has 4 industrial 4.0 tire factory, tire industry is also setting off a boom in intelligent construction! At present, some Shandong tire enterprises have made use of big data to carry out tire market forecasting, production planning scheduling, whole process quality traceability, energy consumption analysis prediction, production remote control and other aspects of the stage results. Triangular tires through the implant chip, bar code identification equipment, etc. , the entire production process of tires to monitor, not only make the production of each tire has its own "ID card", but also upgrade the factory to a complete Internet of Things. Compared with the traditional production mode, the efficiency is increased by more than 40%. Crown Monkey Intelligent professional to provide delivery automation solutions, has also served many tire enterprises, to provide them with conveyor equipment.

When the car tire full-process industry 4.0 intelligent chemical plant of Double Star Tire is completed and put into operation, it becomes the only enterprise in the global tire industry that has both the car tire and the car tire full-process industry 4.0 intelligent chemical plant. According to reports, the two-star full-process industry 4.0 intelligent chemical plant adopts the original TWO-star MEP intelligent information matching system, solves the global liquid or powder as raw materials manufacturing enterprises can not achieve the whole process of intelligent manufacturing problems.

First of all, if industry 4.0 is realized, the use of labor will be reduced by intelligent systems to manage and control the production process. At present, China's demographic dividend period has passed, the rising labor costs, how to reduce labor costs without affecting production, is a problem that all walks of life should consider. Intelligent production means the liberation of manpower, but it also puts forward higher requirements for operators. Production management can be traced. Intelligent production means that the whole process of transparency, system connectivity, any problems can be found and resolved in a timely manner, and the whole process of monitoring means that every link is under the management of operators, do not need to spend more human and material resources to deal with the production management process problems.

Product quality improvement more standards, better quality. Another advantage of intelligent production is the standardization, high quality, customizability and so on. Through the control of the machine rather than human production, reduce the error rate, but the machine will not, which ensures the product pass rate! And through intelligent control can adjust the production process in a more timely manner to improve product quality, can modify the production parameters to customize personalized products.

Increase productivity. Machines will wear out, but will not be tired, the use of industrial robots, can effectively improve production efficiency, to achieve large-scale production. In addition, the intelligence of production means that production information can be collected more efficiently, which also provides a better solution for subsequent service processes and the possibility of opening up the production chain and breaking down industry barriers.

Faced with the new economic normal and domestic and international markets and changes in the situation, China's tire enterprises to rise rapidly, need a higher level of innovation to promote development. The Industry 4.0 strategy is timely for tire enterprises to help solve the problems faced by the economic transformation and provide a solid guarantee for the tire industry to enhance the competitiveness of domestic and foreign markets. In addition, it is particularly worth mentioning that, with the strengthening of national environmental protection control efforts, tire enterprises in the manufacturing process began to pay attention to energy conservation and emission reduction and the application of environmental protection materials, so that green environmental protection has become the mainstream of the development of the tire industry. Keep up with the trend of the times, with the help of industry 4.0 and other production management methods, jointly promote the upgrading and progress of the tire industry.
