Two Chemical Integration Pushing the Structure Optimization of Electrician Industry
In today's rapidly evolving industrial landscape, the deep integration of industrialization and informatization has become a central focus for the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing sector. In the electrical industry, this integration is continuously expanding across product development, production, and operational management. As a result, it is driving ongoing optimization of the industrial structure and facilitating a shift in economic development models.
However, according to officials from the China Electric Industry Association, the pace of integration between the two sectors remains relatively slow. The scope and depth of integration are still limited, often confined to individual application areas such as CAD, finance, inventory, and OA systems. There is still a significant gap when it comes to comprehensive system integration and cross-field applications.
To address this, experts suggest that large enterprises with successful integration experiences should serve as role models. By promoting these examples, the industry can gradually achieve full integration of industrialization and informatization.
The push for more efficient business operations is evident, particularly among large enterprises. Many have advanced their informatization levels, with ERP systems becoming widely adopted. This has enabled seamless integration between financial and business management functions.
Zhang Qide highlighted the impact of informatization on manufacturing processes. For example, the preparation time for thermal power products has been reduced from six months to just one month, and the manufacturing cycle has been cut by a third. Additionally, 100% of large-scale machine tools are now numerically controlled, leading to improved quality and efficiency. Donghai, for instance, has built a world-class blade CNC machining center, achieving 100% numerical control for turbine blades and other critical components.
In the field of power transmission and transformation equipment, XD Group has implemented advanced R&D design systems, including 3D design, simulation analysis, and product lifecycle management. These efforts have significantly enhanced their product innovation capabilities. They have successfully developed several landmark projects, such as the first domestic 330 kV and 550 kV AC transmission projects, as well as the first ±100 kV DC and ±800 kV UHV DC transmission projects.
With the growing demand for high-tech products, the group has also focused on building digital workshops and factories. For example, Xikai Electric’s digital machining workshops saw a productivity increase of over 40%, along with notable improvements in processing quality. They have also developed cutting-edge products like the world's highest voltage-rated AC 1100 kV and DC ±800 kV intelligent switches, as well as the largest capacity 700 MVA/750 kV smart transformer—key components for a "strong smart grid."
Currently, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) lag behind in terms of integration. Their level of application is generally low, often limited to narrow areas. Experts note that many SMEs still have misconceptions about how to integrate these technologies, leading to inefficient investments and simplistic "1+1" models. Learning from the typical experiences of larger companies can provide a valuable guide.
Chen Rongwei from West Electric Group emphasized that while many companies focus on integrating R&D and management with information systems, they often neglect top-level design. Enterprise strategy, risk management, and confidence in digital transformation remain underdeveloped.
XD Group has transformed its informatization approach into integration, sharing, and collaboration. They have established a "3+1" top-level technical framework, focusing on supply chain management with ERP, digital design and manufacturing with PLM, decision support systems, and an integrated enterprise information portal. Additionally, they maintain a robust IT infrastructure, including networks, data centers, and cybersecurity.
The group consistently prioritizes the "Top-One" project, treating enterprise informatization as a key part of its capacity building. Through top-level design and strategic planning, they aim to achieve information management, digital manufacturing, and intelligent technology. Their goal is to drive deeper integration and enhance the overall application of information systems.
Finally, during project implementation, Chen Weirong stressed the importance of placing the enterprise at the center of informatization. This includes thorough preparation, clear evaluation standards, and the formation of a team that understands both business and IT. By aligning with business needs, they ensure the depth and effectiveness of the integration process.
