Two Chemical Integration Pushing the Structure Optimization of Electrician Industry
In the current era, 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, the convergence between information technology and industrial processes continues to expand across product development, production, and operational management. This integration fosters continuous optimization of the industrial structure and supports a shift in economic growth models.
However, according to an official from the China Electric Industry Association, the pace of this integration remains relatively slow. The scope and depth of integration are still limited, mostly confined to individual applications such as CAD, finance, inventory, and OA systems. There is still a significant gap in achieving comprehensive integration and cross-system application across all fields.
To address this, the association suggests that large enterprises with successful integration experiences should serve as role models. By showcasing these examples, the industry can gradually achieve full integration between informatization and industrialization.
As part of business intensification, large enterprises are continuously advancing their informatization levels. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have become widespread, enabling seamless integration between financial and business management.
Zhang Qide highlighted how informatization has transformed the manufacturing process. For instance, the preparation time for thermal power products has been reduced from six months to just one month, and the production cycle has been cut by a third. Additionally, 100% numerical control has been achieved for large machine tools, allowing Donghae to build world-class blade CNC machining centers. Turbine and blade processing is also fully numerically controlled, significantly improving product quality.
In the field of power transmission and transformation equipment, XD Group has adopted advanced R&D design systems like 3D design, 3D process simulation, and product lifecycle management. These tools have enhanced the company’s design and innovation capabilities, leading to the successful development of several key projects, including the first domestic 330 kV, 550 kV AC transmission line, the first 750 kV EHV AC project, and the first ±800 kV UHV DC transmission project.
With increasing demand for high-tech products, the group has focused on building digital workshops and factories. The digital machining workshops at Xikai Electric have boosted production efficiency by over 40%, while product quality has improved significantly. The group has also developed the world's highest voltage-rated AC 1100 kV and DC ±800 kV intelligent switchgear, as well as the largest capacity 700 MVA/750 kV smart transformer, supporting the need for a "strong smart grid."
Currently, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) lag behind in integration efforts. Their level of application is limited and often confined to narrow areas, showing a significant gap compared to large companies. Industry experts note that many SMEs still hold misconceptions about integrating the two technologies, leading to blind investments and simplistic “1+1†models. Learning from industry best practices can help guide them toward more effective strategies.
A typical business model can serve as a reference. While most companies focus on integrating R&D and information systems, they often neglect top-level information planning. Strategic management and risk control are not well integrated with IT systems, which hinders confidence in building digital and intelligent enterprises.
XD Group has evolved its informatization approach into integration, sharing, and collaboration. It has developed a "3+1" top-level technical framework, centered around ERP for supply chain management, PLM for digital design and manufacturing, and an integrated management information system for decision support. A robust IT infrastructure ensures security and scalability.
The group emphasizes top-down planning and strategic alignment in its informatization efforts, aiming to achieve intelligent manufacturing and digital transformation. It focuses on deepening integration and application while ensuring information security and overall improvement in technological capabilities.
During project implementation, the group insists on the principle that the enterprise itself should lead the informatization initiative. It sets clear preparation and evaluation standards, builds a team that understands both business and IT, and drives the project forward based on real business needs. This ensures deeper integration and sustainable progress.
