Core Viewpoint - Inner Mongolia Xintaiyuan New Materials Co., Ltd. is leveraging 5G technology and AI to transform its chromium iron production into a "5G + Smart Factory" model, promoting green and intelligent manufacturing in the high-energy-consuming industry, while enhancing safety and resource efficiency for sustainable development [1][2]. Group 1: Challenges and Solutions - The company faces three main challenges in its transition to a smart factory: safety risks from labor-intensive operations, inefficient management due to data silos, and delayed regulatory responses [2]. - Initial deployment of 5G remote control faced issues such as signal interruptions due to high temperatures and electromagnetic interference, as well as low acceptance of new technology among traditional workers [4]. - To address these challenges, the team from China Mobile Inner Mongolia engaged directly with workers, providing demonstrations and explanations to alleviate concerns about technological changes [4][5]. Group 2: Technological Implementation and Achievements - A comprehensive service system was established, including a 5G simulation control platform for training, and a "three-level response" service system for real-time monitoring and emergency support [7]. - Significant improvements were noted, including a 5% reduction in energy consumption per electric furnace, an increase in resource utilization rate to 98%, and annual cost savings exceeding 10 million yuan [7]. - The implementation of a precise energy control system led to a reduction of approximately 12,000 tons of carbon emissions annually, and a 20% decrease in electricity consumption through the use of solar panels and energy management systems [7].
