Chapter 1240: Unmanned factory

Drone logistics ...
Already used?
Lu Zhou's original phrase "is not a problem" has shocked Wang Wei. The next sentence of Lu Zhou even surprised him and didn't know what to say.
Now Lu Zhou offered to take him for a visit. Naturally, he would not refuse, and he almost agreed without any hesitation.
"Be sure to show me!"
While talking, he stood up from his seat.
Looking at Wang Wei with anxiety on his face, Lu Zhou nodded with a smile, motioned him not to be anxious, and then called the secretary of the office in charge of the reception and asked her.
"Speak for me and President Chen, and say that I will take President Wang to the factory and take a turn. I may be back at noon."
"Okay, Academician Lu."
The watched secretary left the reception room, Lu Zhou continued to look at Wang Wei, said with a smile.
"Then let's go, too."
...
The factory mentioned in Lu Zhoukou is located at the corner of Jinling High-tech Park, next to the entrance of the highway and the railway freight station. It is one of the star enterprises in Jinling.
In fact, to put it plainly, in fact, it is Boss Liu's factory.
Since Xingkong Technology entered into the stock, Zhongshan New Materials has relied on the strong technical background of Xingkong Technology to support, and orders from East Asia Electric Power and the new energy industry chain. Leader in carbon material processing.
I have to say that science and technology are the primary productive forces.
Liu Wanshan, who has fully enjoyed the bonus of science and technology, can be said to be a "hardcore fan" of Xingkong Technology. When Xingkong Technology proposed to automate industrial logistics transformation for his factory, Liu Wanshan agreed to Xingkong Technology's proposal almost without hesitation.
Up to now, this industrialized logistics system has achieved initial results. Zhongshan New Materials has almost become a model production unit and a model for science and technology in the entire Jinling City's lithium anode material field.
The completely unmanned material distribution almost maximizes the efficiency of the production line.
In terms of cost, the workload that previously required nearly 20 low-education posts can be completed, but now only a highly-educated engineer and a group of automated equipment controlled by cloud servers can be fully qualified. Nothing at all is the same.
"This is the factory I said."
Taking a step forward, looking at everything in front of him, Wang Wei's face showed an incredible expression, and after a while, he said in an astonishing tone.
"... incredible."
Yes, it is incredible.
Facing the scene before him, he has lost his speech.
The small and flexible agv logistics vehicle quickly traversed in the wide factory building, carrying boxes of goods. A six-rotor drone whistling through the air, completely replacing the hard hat workers, adjusting all aspects of the production line.
The entire factory is like a monster, the logistics vehicles and drones are like blood cells flowing in blood vessels, and the workshops are like organs of monsters.
From one production line to another production line, from one workshop to another, every gear is running at a high speed, every production link is so efficient, people can't help but produce everything here, together with the air Flow is the same as designed.
In fact, it is true.
Here it is not just the temperature of the air, the flow rate of the gas per unit time, and even the pm2.5 in the plant is strictly controlled to a harsh value.
It is also this strict standard that makes the quality of lithium anode materials produced by Zhongshan New Materials the highest in the world.
Unless there is a systemic fault that cannot be ruled out by the machine in the factory building, usually there is no need to enter the workers here. The maintenance of drones and logistics vehicles and other equipment is done outside the factory, and the maintenance of the production equipment in the workshop is mostly Completed by ai-controlled machine.
What is industrial upgrading? What is intelligent manufacturing?
This is the industry upgrade! This is smart manufacturing!
Although it is not the first time that I have felt the important role science and technology play in industrial production, everything in the past has not been so shocking as before. Now Wang Wei is deeply aware of what science and technology change the world and how technology changes the future.
Not only that, he also finally understood why after Lu Zhou heard his question, he said that it was not a problem at all.
There has even been a picture in his mind. The unmanned agv logistics vehicle is running in the SF logistics center. In conjunction with a group of ai-controlled electric drive drones, the cargo is unloaded from the aircraft or truck and loaded into the drive. Go to the logistics truck in the urban area, and then the car drone will deliver the door to the door, and send the package directly to the balcony of the customer's home or the pickup point installed on the window sill.
Swallowing, Wang Weike restrained the excitement in his voice and said.
"How much does this system ... probably cost?"
"It depends on the specific needs of the customers," Lu Zhou said briefly, looking at the drones walking through the plant. "We have two standards, one for small business owners and one for large business owners. The former is mainly designed to optimize the logistics link between the input of raw materials and the output of the finished product, and the latter is mainly aimed at the optimization of the logistics link within the production line. "
"In fact, after hearing the questions you mentioned earlier, I think these two systems may not be suitable for you. What you need may be a dedicated logistics system for package delivery services in densely populated cities."
Wang Wei nodded.
"exactly."
"Our long-term goal of this intelligent logistics network is to realize the intelligence and unmannedness of the entire logistics distribution link. As I said before, you will complete the transportation of the main road section by large-scale transportation, and then Man-machine. The package is delivered to the customer point-to-point through real-time route calculations, and then returned to the nearest drone hive for charging. At the same time, the fully-charged drone supplements the logistics vehicle as it passes . "
In fact, this drone distribution plan is exactly the blueprint drawn from Lu Zhou's ten papers published nine years ago. However, it is not easy to achieve this, which involves all aspects to be resolved.
For example, real-time calculation of drone routes, how to determine the most efficient and safest distribution route. This may not sound complicated, but it is actually quite a difficult problem.
First of all, the route of the drone is not based on the 2d plane, but based on the stereoscopic 3d space. Then, at any time, the principle of "more" is more complicated.
As an example, in the first-tier cities above Beijing, the express delivery throughput in a year reaches 2.2 billion pieces, which is an average figure every day. The entire logistics network needs tens of thousands of drones to support them, and the distribution plans and routes of these drones need to be planned by computers.
To solve this problem, it seems that only Xinghai One can do it.
After listening to Wang Wei's needs, Lu Zhou thought for a moment and said, "In fact, you can consider outsourcing this intelligent logistics network to us. It includes the drones used in the distribution process, including the drone hive. Design, etc., we have a professional team capable of this job, and it is easier to solve this problem as a whole than to solve a series of problems you encounter individually. "
Hearing this sentence, Wang Wei hesitated slightly and hesitated.
"This ... isn't it right? We have fixed partners in the procurement of drones and logistics vehicles, and we have also signed a long-term strategic cooperation agreement. If possible, I hope you can target us now. Under certain conditions, this intelligent logistics network is designed. At present, we are quite satisfied with the products they provide, and have no intention of changing suppliers for the time being. "
Changing suppliers is not a trivial matter.
There are many issues involved.
Especially for a large-scale enterprise such as Shunfeng Group, the whole body will be affected at once, and maybe only a small change to a certain detail in the logistics distribution link may have an unpredictable impact on existing operations.
At least, this kind of thing needs a few meetings to decide, not like now, with a moment of excitement, you can fix your head with a pat.
Not only that, but Wang Wei was really hesitant, and Shunfeng Group has already invested a lot of money in this project ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Now I have outsourced the entire project because of some bottlenecks. There are always This kind of upfront investment is all wasted.
What's more, Shunfeng Group is a large company with a market value of 100 billion yuan. Being restrained by this key technology always gives him a feeling of "not being practical."
After probably guessing the concerns in Wang Wei's heart, Lu Zhou said after thinking for a moment.
"It depends on how you look at this issue. Industry enjoys a large scale of bonuses, and so does scientific research. It is definitely much more efficient to give professional things to professional people to do. I won't Forcing you to accept our standards, but from the perspective of a scholar, I definitely put the best solution first. "
Wang Wei still hesitated, and said, "Do you still produce drones and logistics vehicles?"
Lu Zhou: "Worried that we are not professional enough in this regard?"
Wang Wei didn't speak, but his expression apparently defaulted to this.
Seeing this, Lu Zhou smiled and said.
"We do not have a factory, nor a production line for drones and logistics vehicles, but in the era of intelligent manufacturing 2.0, these are not problems at all."
Looking at Wang Wei who apparently did not understand the meaning of this sentence, Lu Zhou continued.
"If you're curious, I can show you one more thing."
Then, he took a tablet from the accompanying secretary, and handed it to the general manager Wang in front of him.
Looking at Wang Wei with a grimace staring at the tablet in his hand, Lu Zhou continued.
"First, you can choose the product parameters you need, and then upload your requirements to the server, and we will do our best to complete it. This process will take about two hours, although it is not long, but you have to wait For a while. "
"We might as well go for lunch first and then come back."
