Apr 24, 2025 14:5101 Background and Trends of Intelligent Factory Transformation in the Aluminum Plate/Sheet, Strip and Foil Industry 1. Urgency of Manufacturing Upgrades Global manufacturing is accelerating towards digitalization, networking, and intelligence. China has proposed the "Smart Manufacturing 2025" strategy, compelling traditional industries to reform. As a key sector in non-ferrous metal processing, the plate/sheet, strip and foil industry faces challenges such as high energy consumption, complex processes, significant quality fluctuations, and increasing customization demands, necessitating enhanced competitiveness through intelligence. 2. Necessity of Intelligence Market Demand Compulsion: Downstream industries (such as NEVs, consumer electronics, aerospace) are demanding higher standards for the strength, thickness accuracy (e.g., battery foil requires ≤8μm), and surface quality of aluminum plate/sheet, strip and foil. Trend of Small Batch Customization: Fragmented orders (e.g., hundreds of specifications for NEV battery foil) make it difficult for traditional mass production models to meet flexible delivery requirements. Core Pathways of Intelligent Transformation 1. Application of Key Technologies Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT): Real-time monitoring of equipment status and process parameters (e.g., rolling temperature, tension) to dynamically optimize production rhythms. AI and Machine Vision: Used for surface defect detection (e.g., pinholes, scratches), replacing manual quality inspection, reducing the miss rate to below 0.1%. Digital Twin: Building virtual models of rolling mills, annealing furnaces, and other equipment to simulate the impact of process parameter adjustments on finished product performance, shortening trial production cycles. 2. Reconfiguration of Production Processes Flexible Manufacturing Systems: Supporting rapid switching between small-batch, multi-variety orders (e.g., lithium battery foil → packaging foil), reducing production line adjustment time by 30%-50%. Supply Chain Collaboration: Through MES and ERP integration, achieving full-chain visibility from raw material procurement to delivery, increasing inventory turnover rates by over 20%. 3. Data-Driven Decision Making Establishing a process database, analyzing historical data to optimize key parameters such as rolling passes and annealing curves, reducing scrap rates. Specific Impact on Plate/Sheet, Strip and Foil Enterprises 1. Breakthroughs in Efficiency and Quality Equipment OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) increased from 60% to over 85%, with per capita output growing 3-5 times. Quality data traceable to each roll of material, aiding in high-end customer certification (e.g., NEV battery foil). 2. Cost and Sustainability Energy consumption reduced by 15%-30% (e.g., smart temperature control systems reduce gas consumption in annealing furnaces). Real-time monitoring of hazardous waste emissions, lowering environmental compliance risks. 3. Business Model Innovation Offering "product + digital services" (e.g., remote operation and maintenance, process optimization subscriptions), enhancing customer loyalty. Challenges and Countermeasures 1. Key Challenges Technology Adaptability: The high degree of non-standardization in plate/sheet, strip and foil processes requires customized solutions (e.g., intelligent control for narrow-width rolling mills).
