Recently, Shandong Wanji Plastics, headquartered in Huantai, Zibo, officially announced the launch of an intelligent management and control center construction project with a total investment of up to 50 million yuan. This investment and construction is not accidental, but an important decision made by the company based on industry development trends and its own strategic layout. As competition in the domestic pipe industry becomes increasingly fierce, problems such as efficiency bottlenecks and quality control shortcomings in the traditional production model have gradually become apparent. In addition, the market demand for core products such as natural gas pipelines has continued to escalate, which has put forward higher requirements for the automation and intelligence level of production. As a key enterprise in the field of pipes and fittings in Jiangbei, Wanji Plastics has launched the construction of an intelligent management and control center this time. The core goal is to comprehensively upgrade the automation level of the natural gas pipeline production line, further strengthen its core competitiveness in the field of pipes and fittings in Jiangbei, and lay a solid foundation for the company's long-term development.

According to the relevant person in charge of the company, the intelligent management and control center project has completed various preparatory work after multiple rounds of preliminary research, demonstration and planning, and is scheduled to officially start construction in the first half of 2019. The project construction team will be staffed by a professional team with rich experience in industrial intelligent project construction. During the construction process, relevant standards and specifications will be strictly followed to ensure project quality and progress. According to the plan, the project is expected to complete all construction and be put into use by the end of the year. The efficient advancement from construction to commissioning will minimize the project return cycle.

From the perspective of core functions, after the completion of the intelligent management and control center, it will realize visual monitoring of the quality and safety of the entire natural gas pipeline production process, covering the entire production chain. In the raw material entry process, intelligent testing equipment will be introduced to accurately detect key indicators such as the composition and performance of various raw materials, and prevent unqualified raw materials from flowing into the production process from the source; during the production process, the system can track the core parameters of extrusion, molding, cooling and other processes in real time. Once parameters appear If there is a deviation, an early warning will be automatically issued and the production equipment will be linked for fine-tuning to ensure production stability; before the finished product leaves the warehouse, a comprehensive inspection of multiple indicators such as pressure, corrosion resistance, and wall thickness uniformity will be completed through an intelligent inspection line. The inspection data will be uploaded to the control center for archiving in real time to achieve traceability of product quality.

Through the 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 more than 99.8%, significantly reduce rework and loss caused by quality problems, but also significantly reduce the number of workshop employees by up to 30%, significantly reducing labor costs. At the same time, the intelligent management and control system can also conduct accurate statistics and optimization of production energy consumption, raw material consumption, etc., further reducing corporate production costs and improving overall profitability.

As a large-scale pipe and fittings manufacturer in Jiangbei, Shandong Wanji Plastic has previously introduced multiple sets of internationally advanced production equipment and has a strong foundation in production hardware. The investment and construction of the intelligent management and control center will realize the deep integration of production equipment and intelligent management systems, forming the dual advantages of "hardware + software" and further consolidating its technical advantages in the industry. The person in charge said that the implementation of the intelligent management and control center will lay a solid foundation for the company's subsequent production capacity improvement and national market expansion, help the company realize the transformation from "scale expansion" to "quality and efficiency improvement", and set a benchmark for the intelligent upgrading of the industry.
