en.Wedoany.com Reported - HuaBei Aluminum New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hualu New Materials"), a subsidiary of China Minmetals Non-Ferrous Metals Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Minmetals Non-Ferrous"), has recently been recognized as an advanced-level smart factory by China Minmetals, marking a historic breakthrough in its smart manufacturing construction and signifying that Hualu New Materials has entered a new stage of high-quality development in digital transformation and intelligent production line upgrades.
As a key enterprise of China Minmetals Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "China Minmetals") in the field of new energy battery aluminum foil, Hualu New Materials has made smart factory construction a critical focus to drive industrial upgrading and enhance core competitiveness. With the support of Minmetals Non-Ferrous, Hualu New Materials has collaborated with digital service providers such as MCC Jingcheng Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. to build a fully covered, integrated smart manufacturing platform. This platform achieves digital closed-loop management across five dimensions: production, quality, safety, energy, and operations, establishing a modern smart manufacturing system characterized by advanced technology, refined management, safety and efficiency, and green low-carbon operations.
The smart factory focuses on production operations, on-site management, and business decision-making, deploying a range of industry-leading intelligent applications. These include 3D digital twin production control, AI video behavior analysis, VOCs online monitoring, AGV intelligent transportation, intelligent detection of aluminum foil surface defects and pinholes, and online thickness and shape intelligent adjustment systems and technologies. Additionally, the factory has implemented systems such as the MES production execution system, EMS energy management system, ERP Kingdee integrated finance and business system, digital enterprise brain, and finished product barcode management, enabling full-process digital operations including production scheduling, energy optimization, supply chain collaboration, financial accounting, mobile approvals, and big data analysis, significantly reducing manual intervention. This shifts the production model from "experience-driven" to "data-driven smart manufacturing" and upgrades management from "post-event passive handling" to "pre-event proactive prevention and in-event precise control," enhancing product quality, production efficiency, intrinsic safety levels, and lean operational capabilities.
This recognition confirms that Hualu New Materials' level of intelligence, digitalization, and refinement in aluminum foil production control has entered the ranks of advanced enterprises, providing a replicable practical benchmark for the high-end, intelligent, and green transformation and upgrade of the new energy aluminum-based materials industry, and accumulating experience for the company's smart factory construction.
Minmetals Non-Ferrous plans to use Hualu New Materials as a model to accelerate the overall layout of smart manufacturing, promoting point-to-area and tiered advancement, and strengthening the intelligent upgrade of production lines across 11 domestic and international production enterprises. Next, Minmetals Non-Ferrous will coordinate the cultivation, construction, application, and acceptance of advanced-level smart factories, driving the implementation of digital transformation and intelligent applications across business units, and continuously optimizing the digital foundation, enriching smart scenarios, and deepening data value to enhance smart manufacturing capabilities.
Hualu New Materials will follow China Minmetals' digital transformation requirements, ensuring the completion of the advanced-level smart factory construction goal by the end of the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, building a new smart manufacturing landscape that coordinates domestic and international operations and covers the entire industrial chain, driving industrial modernization through digital and intelligent innovation, and injecting momentum into the company's sustainable development.
