Recently, China’s vanadium-nitrogen alloy, vanadium-titanium metal leader PGJT Group used the 5G network base station of China Mobile to take the lead in using 5G technology in the field of international vanadium manufacturing, allowing unmanned cranes, AGV unmanned forklifts and other vanadium-nitrogen alloy production lines in Panzhihua Vanadium Plant to be successfully put into operation .
Sun Zhaohui, deputy director of the State Key Laboratory of Comprehensive Utilization of Vanadium and Titanium Resources, said that PGJT Group, the world’s largest vanadium product company, successfully applied 5G technology to the production of vanadium products, and played a leading role in the high-quality development of the international vanadium industry.
The Panxi area where PGJT Group is located is one of the regions with the most abundant mineral resources in China and the world. In this piece of land less than one-thousandth of China’s land, vanadium reserves rank first in the country and third in the world. Since its construction in 1965, PGJT Group has relied on independent innovation to carry out comprehensive utilization of vanadium resources, making the vanadium industry scale the world’s largest, leading the world in quality and variety, and ranking first in domestic and international market share.
In July 2019, PGJT Group actively integrated into the trend of the industrial Internet era, and fully cooperated with Huawei, a leading global ICT (information and communication) infrastructure and smart terminal provider, to work with China Mobile to establish a 5G laboratory. The digitalization of the rail production line and the visual transformation of the production process have further improved the quality of the rail, ensured that the production process of each meter of rail can be traced, and created a digital production line model.
Based on the experience gained in building a digital rail production line, PGJT Group decided to apply 5G technology to the “two-chemical integration” demonstration line project of vanadium-nitrogen alloy in PGJT Group Vanadium Plant. the company uses advanced technologies such as 5G to integrate AGV unmanned forklifts, industrial robots and other intelligent equipment in the field of vanadium manufacturing. Humanization, production line logistics automation and intelligence.
After half a year of tackling key problems, the PGJT Group Vanadium Plant’s vanadium-nitrogen alloy “two-chemical integration” demonstration production line project was successfully constructed. This production line integrates information, manufacturing, control, communication, artificial intelligence and other technologies, and uses high bandwidth, low latency, and highly reliable 5G technology. It has completed the integration of unmanned cranes, AGV unmanned forklifts, and transmission lines with optimal Mixing ingredients, intelligent IoT transmission, independent transfer of production materials, automatic product packaging, centralized remote control of 12 kiln lines and continuous automatic logistics functions.
The use of autonomous driving and AI artificial intelligence technology enables AGV unmanned forklifts to have fully automatic driving, autonomous navigation, intelligent obstacle avoidance, 5G HD camera remote monitoring and other functions, which can provide high precision, high intelligence, autonomous navigation, unmanned driving and Operation, realize the independent transfer of materials, effectively reduce the labor intensity, and eliminate safety accidents caused by human factors. The unmanned crane integrates information perception fusion, reservoir area decision planning, intelligent control and dispatching. It has the full-flow operation functions of hopper transfer such as autonomous receiving, unloading, and loading, which doubles the work efficiency compared to manual lifting.
