The Sixth Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd. of Machinery Industry (hereinafter referred to as the Sixth Institute of China National Machinery Corporation) won the bid for the “Three-dimensional Information Model Design Service of a Factory in Shanghai” project.

The Sixth Hospital of China National Machinery Corporation won the domestic design concept based on the self-developed 3D visualization project management, 3D pipeline integrated design software and the plant lifecycle management based on the plant information model/building information model (PIM/BIM). The largest 3D information model service project in manufacturing engineering construction projects.

In the context of the slow growth of the industrial engineering design market, the winning bids of the Sixth China National Machinery Institute have made the peers quite jealous. "From the market orders of the first half of the Sixth Hospital of China National Machinery Corporation, many high-end projects are the initiative of the owners to go to the door." In the view of Zhao Jingkong, the chairman of the Sixth Hospital of China National Machinery Institute, the good performance benefited from the wisdom of the Sixth Hospital of China National Machinery Corporation. The application is in front of the peers.

lead the industry

Since 2012, investment in industrial and infrastructure construction has declined, and the traditional market for engineering design has shrunk, while demand for high-end markets characterized by smart technology and green technology is growing rapidly.

The Sixth Institute of China National Machinery Institute is one of the earliest engineering design institutes in China to develop intelligent and informatization business. It has developed into a science and technology engineering institute with information technology as the leading factor and high R&D capability. It is designed in digital and intelligent factories. The consulting industry is in a leading position in the domestic industry.

How does a engineering design institute in the central part of the country come to such a "wolf team"? All this has to start from 1980. In that year, due to the need for structural calculations, the computer room of the China National Sixth Hospital was born.

In 1986, in the Shanghai Machine Tool Industry Technical Transformation Project loaned by the World Bank, the computer room of the China National Sixth Hospital played an important role, playing an important role in the design of computer application systems and the design of metropolitan area network systems.

Four years later, in 1990, in the Shenyang Machine Tool Technical Transformation Project loaned by the World Bank, the Sixth Institute of China National Computer Corporation carried out the design of the computer application system and the design of the integrated wiring system, and proposed the C/S architecture model of the minicomputer. This is the first industrial transformation project of the World Bank loan undertaken by the domestic design institute. It is also the first factory design project in China to propose the design content of the computer application system. This project has laid the foundation for the design of the computer application system of the factory in the sixth unit of the machine. Advantage.

Years of technological innovation has enabled the China National Sixth Institute to accumulate strong technical capabilities and rich experience in PIM technology consulting services, and has become a pioneer in the implementation and research and development of domestic PIM technology.

In the field of domestic PIM industrial engineering, the Sixth Institute of China National Machinery Corporation has successively undertaken a number of key projects such as Xugong Technology, SINOMACH, and BMW Brilliance. The Sixth Institute of China National Machinery Corporation has carried out more than 70 PIM/BIM projects in the industrial and civil fields, laying a leading position in the application field of the PIM project of the industrial engineering.

Classic fusion

In an interview, the reporter found that the rapid development of the Sixth Academy of China National Machinery Corporation in recent years is inseparable from the deep integration of information technology and industrialization. The Sixth Hospital of China National Machinery Institute is a model for promoting the integration of industrialization and design in industrial engineering design institutes.

In 1992, the Sixth Institute of China National Machinery Corporation independently developed the CAD package for the process design of the factory design machinery workshop, becoming the first software package for the process design of the computer-aided machinery factory in China.

In 2005, the Sixth Hospital of China National Machinery Institute designed the largest project in China's machine tool industry construction—Shenyang Machine Tool (Group) Co., Ltd. to develop the overall transformation project of CNC machine tools and complete sets of equipment. The project is known as “the largest intelligent, China’s The networked factory is a model of digital factory integrating domestic industrialization and informationization.

In 2009, the Sixth Institute of China National Machinery Corporation defeated France's Dassault, Microsoft and other internationally renowned companies with PIM technology, and won the bid for the largest 3D factory information model project in the domestic manufacturing industry.

Zhu Weizhen, deputy general manager of the Sixth Hospital of China National Machinery Institute, told the reporter that at present, China is facing the strategic development requirements of transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, integration of industrialization and informationization, and vigorously carrying out research, development and application of digital workshop technology systems, which is conducive to promoting manufacturing. The automation and intelligence of the process, and can be expected to effectively promote the overall level of intelligent equipment. In his view, digital technology is an important means to realize the national development strategy, and it is also an important technical content to promote the deep integration of the two industries, realize industrial transformation and upgrading, and strengthen the manufacture of intelligent equipment.

Zhu Xizhen believes that just as the research and application of digital equipment has promoted the rapid development of high-end intelligent equipment in China, the research and application of digital factory design and construction will also enhance the manufacturing capacity and greenness of the whole life cycle of our factories.

Strategic Choice

Miao Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, recently pointed out that to promote industrial restructuring and achieve transformation and upgrading, new models and new approaches are needed. The major developed countries in the West are the first informatization after industrialization. China is in the process of industrialization and has caught up with the historic opportunity of informatization development. We have no time and we can no longer follow the old path of the West. We must take a new road to industrialization with the integration of the two.

This big idea coincides with the judgment made by the China National Sixth Hospital in the brutal market competition. At present, industrial engineering design projects have shrunk sharply. How can the Sixth China National Machinery Institute, which has been developing at a high speed for ten consecutive years, seize the opportunities in the next step? Where is the road to transformation and upgrading of the Sixth Hospital of China National Machinery Corporation?

Zhao Jingkong's answer is "smart design technology." In his view, China's industrial economy is facing a transformation and upgrading, and China's industrial engineering design institutes must upgrade and transform ahead of schedule. To this end, vigorously promote the in-depth integration of informatization and industrialization, and vigorously promote the application of smart design technology has become a strategic choice for the Sixth China National Machinery Corporation to seize the high-end market, and in this process to achieve the company's own upgrade.
