The automation rate is very high, and the Cyrus car super factory visit
[Autohome Factory Revealed] To say who is the most popular model in the 500,000 and above in the car market, it is absolutely necessary to mention the M9 in the world. This car has been on the market for just three months and has received more than 70,000 orders. Is it really worth buying? Today we come to its birthplace – Sailis Super Factory for everyone to reveal.
The super factory of Sailis Automobile is located in Liangjiang New District of Chongqing, covering an area of more than 2,700 mu. Compared with Tesla’s super factory in Shanghai, it covers an area of 2 times larger. This time we just have a brief visit to this factory. This super factory is also a smart factory. It can be personalized and agile production of products through the Internet of Things, big data, digital twin, 5G, AI and other technologies. When the production capacity is full, one car can be rolled off the assembly line every 30 seconds. It is also worth mentioning that the digital twin technology is the mainstream smart factory configuration in Europe and the United States. Through the 1:1 simulation of the virtual factory, more than 100 key stations can be realized to realize 3D guidance operations, and the process design can be fully digitized and debugged virtualized.
Unmanned logistics trolleys in traditional car factories are already commonplace, but in the Sailis Super Factory, these trolleys have achieved 100% unmanned automated transshipment, and even the pre-steps such as parts packing are automatically packed by robots. At the same time, the large-scale container logistics transshipment in the factory area has also been partially driverless, and the smart super factory is also worthy of its name.
In terms of automation rate, from the perspective of the four major processes of the traditional car factory (stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly), the stamping line of the Sailis Super Factory uses a fully automatic stamping line of 7,700 tons, which can achieve flexible production of steel and aluminum parts. Up to 16 sheet metal parts can be produced per minute, and the production process is also 100% automated. In the welding workshop, it is also 100% automatic welding, but in this factory, due to the high proportion of aluminum body parts, there are more assembly links for riveting and hot-melt self-tapping screws than in the production line of traditional steel bodies. The paint shop is also 100% automated, and the tires, seats, glass, dashboard, front and rear suspension, battery packs, etc. in the final assembly process are also assembled in an automated manner.
In addition, the production line inspection of the Sailis Super Factory is also completed by highly automated machines. Coordinate measuring machines, blue light detection, lidar measurement and other equipment have achieved 100% automatic measurement. Among them, the measurement accuracy of lidar measurement technology has reached 0.02mm, which can realize a variety of vehicle body component structures and surface types.
Editor’s comment:
Although this visit to the Cyrus Super Factory was a very fleeting glimpse, the blessing of various high-tech allowed me to have highly automated and highly intelligent equipment that I could only see in the joint venture factory a few years ago. And the application of these advanced technologies in the Cyrus Super Factory is more comprehensive and advanced. It can be seen that today’s Chinese brands are indeed not what they used to be, which also proves the product strength of (|) and other models from the side. (Text/Photo Autohome Luo Aoyu)
