Recently, Shandong Wanji Plastics, headquartered in Huantai, Zibo, officially announced the launch of its intelligent control center construction project, with a total investment of 50 million yuan. This investment is not accidental, but rather a significant decision based on industry development trends and the company's own strategic layout. As competition in the domestic pipe industry intensifies, issues such as efficiency bottlenecks and quality control shortcomings in traditional production models are becoming increasingly prominent. Furthermore, the continuously upgrading market demand for core products such as natural gas pipelines is placing higher demands on the automation and intelligence of production.Wanji Plastics, a key enterprise in the pipe and fitting industry in Jiangbei, has launched the construction of an intelligent control center with the core objective of comprehensively upgrading the automation level of its natural gas pipeline production line. This will further strengthen its core competitiveness in the Jiangbei pipe and fitting industry and lay a solid foundation for the company's long-term development. According to a company representative, the intelligent control center project has completed all preliminary preparations after multiple rounds of research, demonstration, and planning, and is scheduled to officially commence construction in the first half of 2019. The project construction team will...A professional team with extensive experience in industrial intelligent project construction will be on board. During construction, relevant standards and specifications will be strictly followed to ensure project quality and progress. According to the plan, the project is expected to be completed and put into operation by the end of the year. This efficient progress from commencement to production will minimize the project's payback period." From a core functional perspective, once completed, the intelligent control center will enable visualized monitoring of the quality and safety of the entire natural gas pipeline production process, covering the entire production chain. This will be particularly relevant in the raw material entry stage…Intelligent testing equipment will be introduced to accurately test the composition, performance, and other key indicators of various raw materials, preventing substandard raw materials from entering the production process at the source. During production, the system can track the core parameters of each process, such as extrusion, molding, and cooling, in real time. Once a parameter deviation occurs, an automatic warning will be issued and the production equipment will be fine-tuned to ensure production stability. Before the finished product leaves the warehouse, it will undergo comprehensive testing of multiple indicators, including pressure, corrosion resistance, and wall thickness uniformity, through an intelligent testing line. The test data will be uploaded to the system in real time.The intelligent control center archives data, enabling product quality traceability. Through precise control of the intelligent system, the project will bring multiple benefits to the enterprise. It can not only increase the product qualification rate to over 99.8%, significantly reducing rework and losses caused by quality problems, but also drastically reduce the number of workshop employees by up to 30%, significantly reducing labor costs. At the same time, the intelligent control system can also accurately track and optimize production energy consumption and raw material consumption, further reducing enterprise production costs and improving overall profitability.As a large-scale pipe and fitting manufacturer in the Jiangbei region, Shandong Wanji Plastics had previously introduced multiple sets of internationally advanced production equipment, possessing a strong foundation in production hardware. The construction of this intelligent control center will achieve deep integration of production equipment and intelligent management systems, forming a dual advantage of "hardware + software," further consolidating its technological advantages in the industry. The person in charge stated that the establishment of the intelligent control center will lay a solid foundation for the company's subsequent capacity expansion and national market expansion, helping the company achieve its goals...The shift from "scale expansion" to "quality and efficiency improvement" sets a benchmark for the industry's intelligent upgrading.
