On May 8 , Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group , Alibaba Cloud and Jiwei IoT reached a cooperation agreement. The three parties will use Alibaba Cloud as a technical carrier, Jiwei IoT as a platform, and Pangang Group as a scenario pilot to deepen the ET industrial brain in the Applications in the field of steel production.
The industrial brain will go deep into the core links of iron and steel production, greatly reduce the consumption of iron and steel materials, save tens of millions of production costs , realize the "integration of industrialization and industrialization" goals of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group's intelligent manufacturing, intelligent marketing, intelligent procurement, intelligent logistics and intelligent equipment , and strive to build a national The pilot demonstration production line of high -level intelligent manufacturing will jointly empower the intelligent development of the domestic steel industry.
The three parties will carry out in-depth cooperation on production process optimization, product surface defect identification, equipment intelligent maintenance, factory and production line visualization, and intelligent security .
" Steel making is slag making " is an old saying in the steel production process . Steel comes from pig iron, and the main difference between it and pig iron is that the composition is different. The so-called steelmaking is to reduce carbon in pig iron and remove harmful impurities through smelting, and then add appropriate alloying elements according to the performance requirements of steel to make it perform well . In order to remove some unwanted impurities in the raw material , it is necessary to make slag. Making good slag is an important guarantee for achieving high quality, high yield and low consumption in steelmaking production.
Li Jin , vice president of Alibaba Cloud , said that optimizing the quality of slag production and reducing the consumption of steel materials is one of the goals of the cooperation between the two parties . The consumption of iron and steel materials accounts for more than 70% of the cost of the entire steelmaking plant . Reducing the consumption of iron and steel materials means that the input of raw materials is reduced, and the cost and energy consumption are reduced.
In the future, after Alibaba Cloud 's ET industrial brain is applied to the converter steelmaking process of Pansteel Xichang Steel and Vanadium, it is expected to optimize the re-blowing and slag making of converter steelmaking, reduce blowing loss and splashing, reduce the TFe content in slag by 1%, and reduce oxygen activity. The temperature index is 10ppm, which can significantly reduce the consumption of iron and steel materials, and save more than ten million yuan in costs for Panzhihua Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. every year.
At the same time, the industrial brain will also be applied to the cold rolling process to find out the key factors affecting the cold rolling pass rate and optimize the cold rolling process control. It is expected to increase the qualification rate of cold rolled coil I unit by more than 0.2%, bringing tens of millions of yuan in benefits to Panzhihua Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. every year.
Relying on the rich vanadium-titanium-magnetite resources and independent innovation construction in the western region, Panzhihua Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. is a super - large vanadium-titanium iron and steel enterprise group behind China's strategy . Vanadium enterprise, the largest titanium raw material and titanium processing enterprise with the most complete industrial chain in China , and an important domestic production base of railway steel, automobile steel, household appliance steel and special steel , Pansteel Xichang Steel and Vanadium is the information of Pansteel Group The vanguard of chemical construction.
Duan Xiangdong, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd., said that Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. is a comprehensive resource utilization enterprise born out of national strategy and prospered by technological innovation. It attaches great importance to the role of technological innovation in enterprise reform and development. Cloud together to use artificial intelligence to build the industrial brain of the steel industry.
As a leader in the Southwest Industrial Internet, Jiwei IoT is committed to integrating new technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain, Internet of Things, and Industrial Internet to form a standardized service platform and products to provide customers with the ultimate service.
In April last year , Alibaba Cloud ET Industrial Brain was officially launched , and then quickly landed in photovoltaic, rubber, new energy, communications and other fields, helping major manufacturing companies to obtain huge economic benefits . opportunity.
