According to People’s Daily, at the smart factory of Liuzhou Sike Science and Technology Development in Liuzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, the assembly work of the hybrid engine “Lingxi” 1.5T (maximum output 78 kilowatts, maximum torque 130 Newton meters) is being carried out, and one unit is completed every 53 seconds. In the automated production line, robots accurately grasp each part and assemble them smoothly. There, more than 300 smart equipment, more than 200 robots, and more than 150 automated guided vehicles are “cooperating” to work.
Huang Qingmin, director of the company’s Innovation and Development Center, explained: “With our current production capacity, we can produce more than 300,000 hybrid engines (sets) per year. Digitalization and smartization are the driving force behind this.” Smart equipment such as camera vision systems, smart sensors, RFID technology and QCA manufacturing systems are used within the factory to monitor and analyze various production data in real time. Liuzhou is currently working to build a new ecosystem for the new energy vehicle industry that is driven by innovation, led by large companies and develops collectively. By accelerating the development of new quality production capacity and taking various measures, the city aims to build an important base for the new energy vehicle industry.
