In people’s impression, “high energy consumption”, “high pollution”, “coarse old bulky” is the traditional label of cement industry.
Along with the progress of The Times, under the background of the old and new kinetic energy conversion, the future of the cement industry will no longer be the traditional heavy industry, intelligent upgrade is inevitable trend, the large data, artificial intelligence, such as industrial iot technology applied in the production process, the cement industry big data to realize the intelligent production, not only can reduce the human cost, reduce the harm to workers, It can also improve the working efficiency of enterprises.
The cement industry transformation and upgrading is imperative, and now there are many cement construction bases have successfully applied big data to daily production activities, and achieved certain results.
Here are some typical scenarios for digital transformation operations based on SmartBi’s implementation experience in the cement industry.
1. Optimize the location of production line
2, improve production efficiency
How to improve production efficiency, how to use the limited equipment and personnel to complete more production tasks, to obtain higher economic benefits, is the pain point of every cement enterprise. Enterprises have also sought many methods and measures, such as the construction of production screen monitoring, the construction of sales order execution early warning system to carry out fine management.
The visualized production screen made by SmartBi can visually display the production progress of the workshop, as well as the goods in and out of the warehouse, so that the workshop and warehouse personnel can adjust the production plan and work according to the situation and ensure the achievement of the production target. At the same time, standardize the daily work of the workshop warehouse staff, promote the warehouse data storage in the workshop, reduce the manual record of data information, reduce information loss, and improve work efficiency.
3. Reduce pollution emissions
Because of unreasonable planning and design, supervision and management is not in place and other reasons, the environmental protection problem of cement enterprises is becoming more and more prominent. It is an important way to accelerate the development and transformation of enterprises and protect the natural environment by using digital technology to promote the environmental protection monitoring of cement enterprises and promote their transformation into green and ecological enterprises.
The environmental protection monitoring platform based on SmartBI carries out 24 hours online monitoring, quantitative analysis and excessive warning on the emission of pollution sources in cement enterprises, automatically analyzes the current situation of air quality and the trend of pollutant change, and provides reliable data support for strengthening environmental management and assisting scientific decision-making.
4. Improve the management level
Cement enterprise development to a certain stage, to enhance the level of enterprise management is an inevitable choice. Only in this way can we be in an invincible position in the ever-changing market competition. The acquisition of business data to form an index system of each business subject, and then the analysis of the indicators to assist decision-making, has become an important means of digital operation of enterprises. Business topics include executive cockpits, sales analysis, inventory analysis, financial analysis, industry analysis, etc.
5. Forecast cement prices
Cement price is affected by internal and external factors, such as: cyclical industry stage, peak season, policy, raw materials, transportation distance; Internal factors such as: inventory and capacity ratio. According to historical experience, there will be short-term price pressure in 80% of the storage, 40% May increase the price, but this also needs to be adjusted according to the season (cement’s peak season effect is obvious) changes.
Through a variety of algorithms and technologies provided by data mining platform (including decision tree, support vector machine, linear regression, etc.), the cement price prediction model can be quickly established, and then applied to the business decision of enterprises, to help enterprises seize the opportunity and avoid risks.
At present, most of the cement enterprises in China have not established the integrated management system of production, sales, inventory, purchase, finance and personnel. In the application stage of a single system, information cannot be integrated and shared, the internal execution efficiency of the enterprise is still very low, and the response speed to the external market is slow, which affects the improvement of enterprise management level and competitiveness.
The application of big data SmartBI will help cement enterprises effectively promote the in-depth application of information system, analyze and solve the problems and difficulties in the process of information, so as to help them transform from the extensive, production-centered management mode to the integration of control and market-oriented management mode.
