On July 20th, the “Intelligent New Era – Looking for the Smart Manufacturing Pioneer Summit Forum for Home Appliances Industry” and the awarding ceremony hosted by “Electric Appliances” magazine were held in Beijing, China, Japan, the United States, and Germany. The company conducts exchanges and discussions around intelligent manufacturing. As one of the representative enterprises in the intelligent manufacturing field of the Japanese household appliance industry, Lin has rich experience and unique understanding in intelligent manufacturing upgrade.
With the changes in the domestic and international industrial environment and market consumption situation, the development of manufacturing has become a common choice for the home appliance industry. Jiang Feng, chairman of the China Household Electrical Appliances Association, pointed out that with the continuous integration of technology, the manufacturing industry is digital, networked and intelligent. The development characteristics have become increasingly apparent, which has led to major changes in the production methods, business models and industrial chains of the home appliance industry. Major breakthroughs and widespread applications of technologies such as the Internet and big data are reshaping the technology, production operations and service systems of Chinese home appliances. All require that the home appliance manufacturing system must be fully transformed.

In terms of manufacturing upgrades, the gas appliance giant from Japan is a sample company with high research value. Lin has been practicing for many years in manufacturing and upgrading, and has a wealth of experience, and has already achieved a high degree of automated production. The original equipment of the equipment is researched and developed, and the existing equipment is continuously improved and optimized. Therefore, the forest is often unique in intelligent manufacturing. In the factories in Japan and China, the industrial robots are widely used in the forest, and the valuables accumulated by several generations of technicians in the forest are accumulated. The technology is compiled into code, allowing the robot to mimic skilled technicians to perform the job.

In the view of Yu Wei, Director of Marketing and Commodity Planning Department of Shanghai Linne Co., Ltd., one of the development directions of consumption upgrade is to realize the customization of users, and to meet the individual needs of consumers. It is the future.
In fact, Japan's Linne has already achieved personalized custom production. In the 1990s, Lin introduced Toyota's lean production management model, and the production efficiency was greatly improved. After the end users placed orders, the Linnei factory could quickly organize production and shipment. More than 90% of orders can be delivered on the next day. Not only that, but through the use of advanced production methods such as multi-varietal mixed flow production and bar code management, the company can produce 1500 different specifications and products on the same production line according to different needs of customers. Model water heater products, minimum order volume and even one order can be produced.
For home appliance companies, the biggest difficulty in personalization is cost control and quality control. Lin can do this, the secret lies in the core components and key equipment of the original factory in the forest. 'Our equipment is a lot We developed ourselves to improve the processing efficiency and quality of our products, so you can't buy them outside, and we can't sell them to others,' Yu Wei said.
In March 2017, Shanghai Fenglin invested 1.5 billion yuan to build a Fengxian Industrial Park integrating R&D, production, warehousing and sales. The first phase of the project has 6 water heaters (heating furnaces) production line and 2 stove production lines. To achieve an annual production capacity of 2 million integrated thermal equipment.
Yu Wei said that the current Fengxian Fengxian factory is the most advanced factory in the world. It inherits all the good production processes and production methods in the Japanese forest, and represents the most advanced manufacturing and management technology in the Japanese forest.
Chen Guangjie, Deputy General Manager of Shanghai Linnei Co., Ltd.
Chen Guangjie, deputy general manager of Shanghai Linnei Co., Ltd. said that during the more than one year of operation of the Fengxian factory, Linne through automation and information transformation, factory cost control, product quality, production efficiency, and environmental protection and energy saving and on-site environmental improvement. The aspect has made great progress.
Yu Wei gave a more specific figure: Through the transformation, the production efficiency of the Fengxian factory in Linne has increased by more than 20%. There are still many room for renovation in the Fengxian factory in the future.

Chen Li, editor-in-chief of "Electrical" magazine, believes that there is no gorgeous slogan about smart manufacturing in Lin, but in the process of continuously improving manufacturing efficiency and improving product quality, it adopts more pragmatic and more efficient solutions to modern production methods. The production process is perfectly integrated.

Talking about the road of intelligent manufacturing upgrade, Chen Guangjie said that Shanghai Linnei is a Chinese company with Japanese enterprise genes. It inherits Japan's fine manufacturing tradition and combines China's national conditions. There are two main aspects. First, the integration of the two, the first is to gradually realize Automated, mechanized, data-based basic production system construction, followed by the completion and improvement of intelligence, information, and intra-plant Internet and value chain Internet, in order to achieve automation, in-depth integration of information. Second, multi-faceted knowledge Accumulation, the use of inheritance and professional talents to cultivate reserves, Shanghai Lin can become an innovation drive, adhering to the quality first, structural optimization, green development, people-oriented philosophy.
