From "Manufacturing" to "Intelligent Manufacturing" -- New Energy Electric Vehicle Industry in Gangbei District, Guigang City, Guangxi into the Intelligent Era

GUIGANG, China, Nov. 8, 2021 /Xinhua=KYODO JBN/--

An electric motorcycle can be produced in 30 seconds, with a frame accuracy

error of less than 0.5 mm. Recently, located in the China-ASEAN New Energy

Electric Vehicle Production Base, the intelligent factory in Guangxi Luyuan

Electric Vehicle Co.,LTD has been fully launched, in which the modern workshops

will realize "strong manufacturing" in quality more than the "mass

manufacturing" in output, according to the Publicity Department of Gangbei

District, Guigang City.

The intelligent factory, with a total investment of RMB 400 million, covers an

area of 258 mu and takes only 248 days from groundbreaking in December 2020 to

completion in September 2021. With advanced pipe processing, welding, and

assembly process equipment in the industry, and through the intelligent and

digital production in the factory, real-time information connectivity and

automatic processing have been achieved in key processes such as frame

manufacturing, iron and plastic parts coating, motor manufacturing, and whole

motorcycle assembly. Moreover, production equipment in the workshop has been

put into the Internet of things (IoT), which can not only improve efficiency,

but also reduce labor costs.

In this intelligent factory, automatic cutting, bending and welding are

realized in frame manufacturing of electric motorcycles, which are monitored

with the MES system, so that the accuracy error of finished products is less

than 0.5 mm. It is planned to equip the intelligent factory with 10 automatic

production lines for synchronous pre-assembly, 5 of which have been completed

so far. With these production lines, an electric motorcycle can be produced

every 30s, for which the products move from the "mass manufacturing" in output

to the "strong manufacturing" in quality.

In recent years, the Gangbei District in Guigang City, Guangxi, has seized the

development opportunity brought by the Belt and Road Initiative, and continued

to optimize the business environment, planning to build a 10,000-mu China-ASEAN

New Energy Electric Vehicle Production Base. Up to now, nearly 100 electric

vehicle enterprises have been introduced and more than 50 electric vehicle

enterprises have started operation. Guangxi New Energy Electric Vehicle

Products Quality Testing Center and Guangxi Electric Vehicle Industry

Association have been established successively. An annual production capacity

of 4 million two-wheeled electric motorcycles, 500,000 three-wheeled electric

vehicles and 5 million sets of spare parts has been formed, with the local

matching rate reaching 80%.

From January to September this year, the industrial output value of enterprises

above the designated size in the new energy electric vehicle industry of

Gangbei District increased by 37.9% year on year. Key components such as motors

and plastic parts are continuously sold to domestic and ASEAN markets. In

addition, Gangbei District also creates "Marshal Travel", a local shared

electric bicycle brand, which has been put into operation, and it plans to put

more than 500,000 shared electric bicycles in Guangxi within five years, and

expand to the whole country in the future.

Huang Yingmei, Party Secretary of Gangbei District, said: "We will try our best

to cultivate a 100-billion-level new energy electric vehicle industry cluster,

and strive to achieve the '311' project target for the electric vehicle

industry during the '14th Five-year Plan', that is, 30 million electric

vehicles (sets of accessories) will be produced every year, to achieve the

output value of RMB 100 billion and the tax revenue of RMB 10 billion."
