SAIC GM Wuling: the world's first island-style lean manufacturing plant has been completed and put into production, breaking through the assembly line automobile assembly model.
On October 30, CTOnews.com, Baojun announced that on October 27, 2023, on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of SAIC GM Wuling plant, SAIC GM Wuling Lean Intelligence Factory, the world's first island-style lean intelligence plant, was officially completed and put into production as Baojun Yunduo cars drove off the production line.
▲ Tu Yuan Baojun Automobile, according to the following introduction, SAIC GM Wuling Lean Intelligence Factory is located in Liuzhou, Guangxi, breaking through the assembly line production mode of the automobile industry for a hundred years, using "island" production, taking the island as a unit to reconstruct the automobile production process. The island to island does not use the traditional series mode, but uses a flexible and variable distributed structure, so it can not be limited by the traditional assembly line process requirements, and the process can be changed in real time according to the needs of production.
In addition to flexibility, intelligence is also the core label of this factory. By encapsulating the modular process of fully automatic unmanned production into a "flexible island" and stripping the island from the main production line, SAIC GM Wuling Lean Intelligence Factory has achieved minimal assembly of the main line, and branch line assembly is fully close to the needs of users. it is said that not only the manpower investment is greatly reduced, but also can meet the personalized customization needs of users. The official introduction to CTOnews.com is as follows:
The application of compound navigation mobile robot and EMS lifting hanger (Electrified Monorail System, electric monorail conveying system) supporting SLAM technology (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping, real-time positioning and map construction), as well as the intelligent scheduling of transportation units such as AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle), enable the factory to flexibly transfer all kinds of production objects such as body and accessories, and realize the seamless connection of "car finding position" and "material finding car".
Baojun Automobile said that at present, the chassis consistency of the lean manufacturing plant is 98%, the misinstallation rate is as low as 0, and 100% product lifecycle data traceability can be achieved.
At present, Baojun Yunduo Automobile has been introduced into SAIC GM Wuling Lean Intelligence Factory for production, and the production process is open to users, users can check the production progress in real time through the mobile phone App.
In addition, with the blessing of Lean Intelligent Manufacturing Factory, users can directly participate in the production and manufacture of products and customize their cars online. At present, Baojun brand has incorporated the "official customized modified car" into the production process.
