Chapter 550: Building a Super Factory
After a day of rest at home, Wu Hao immediately threw himself into intense work.
Now they work on two sides, marketing and production. In terms of the market, Wu Hao plans to hand it all over to Zhang Jun to deal with, while he is mainly focused on production and overall management.
Especially now that the launch of this smart AR glasses has been a great success, the market response is hot, and the demand has surged, so the production must be increased.
At present, their company's product production is mainly divided into two aspects, one is the OEM production of various foundries, and the other is the production of their various manufacturing plants.
At present, they have a total of three large-scale intelligent unmanned production factories that have been renovated, which are said to be unmanned, but in fact, there are still people to operate and maintain, but there are only a few.
At present, these three intelligent unmanned manufacturing factories have all adopted intelligent unmanned transformation, and the degree of automation and intelligence is very high. Even in the production process, the whole production line does not need human intervention, only at the time of maintenance, there are staff to enter for maintenance.
Even at present, the relevant technical research and development team intends to hand over this overhaul and maintenance work to intelligent robots to complete. Relying on the intelligent robotic arm they developed, they can complete all the maintenance work like people, which is more time-saving and labor-saving, and can also save labor costs in the long run.
Among the three intelligent unmanned manufacturing factories, the Binhe Intelligent Manufacturing Factory in Anxi is the largest. It covers a total area of 1,073 acres, with a construction area of 514,300 square meters. The factory has a total of eight workshops and 26 workshops, in addition to various warehouses and other infrastructure.
According to the development plan formulated by the production department, the second phase of the project will be expanded on this basis. In the future, it will be built into the largest intelligent unmanned integrated manufacturing plant in Asia and even the world.
With the Binhe Intelligent Manufacturing Factory put into operation, a considerable part of Wu Hao's products are from here. And some of the key core components in the product are also from here, so this factory is particularly important.
For this reason, Wu Hao also came to check on to see how this place is working.
In fact, through the intelligent management system of the factory, he can clearly see the real-time data information of the factory's operation.
But sometimes, you have to make a trip yourself. On the one hand, it's a one-of-a-kind inspection to see something that you can't know in terms of data and monitoring.
On the other hand, as the head of the company, his appearance in this kind of place is also to express his importance to production.
Like his previous style, this time he came to the Binhe Intelligent Manufacturing Factory with only a few accompanying staff and He Jinshan, the deputy director of the production department.
Their arrival was not notified to anyone, which was also what he commanded. In order to be surprised, I wanted to check the normal operation of this factory.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the factory, the security personnel at the access control looked a little surprised when they learned that Wu Hao was coming. The security personnel of the entire factory belong to the company's security department, and they are also composed of some veterans.
In general, it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the factory. Unless necessary, the factory can apply to the company for approval.
And not long after they came in, the director of the factory hurriedly greeted him from inside with a few people: "Mr. Wu, why don't you say it in advance when you come, so that we can prepare." ”
"Haha, I'm just here to catch you off guard." Wu Hao smiled at the middle-aged man in front of him, who was about thirty-five or sixteen.
This person's name is Xu Yang, Chinese New Year's Eve is 66 years old, and he was originally in charge of helping He Jinshan to transform the Binhe Intelligent Manufacturing Factory project. After He Jinshan was promoted to deputy director of the company's production department, he succeeded He Jinshan as the acting director of this riverside intelligent manufacturing factory.
In fact, according to his qualifications, it is nothing to be the factory director directly, but this factory is too important, and everyone is still a little worried about letting such a relatively young person serve as the factory director. So in the end, Wu Hao made a decision, first let him start as the acting director, and replace him if it is not suitable.
"No problem, welcome Mr. Wu to inspect the work." Xu Yang said happily.
"Oh, so confident?" Wu Hao glanced at Xu Yang with some surprise, and then looked at the factory not far away and said, "I came here today, mainly to take a look at the production situation here."
As you know, our press conference was very successful and the market reacted strongly. Therefore, the demand for our new products has surged, so the output of our new products is particularly important at this time. ”
Xu Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after figuring out Wu Hao's intentions. Someone came to report that Wu Hao had come suddenly, which made Xu Yang and the others panic, thinking that something had happened, so they came up panting.
Xu Yang, who breathed a sigh of relief, also became more natural and calm, and he smiled at Wu Hao: "After receiving the news of the surge in related orders, we immediately opened a number of production lines to start production. At present, the capacity of these lines has reached 80 percent, and it is expected that by tomorrow afternoon, the production capacity of these lines will reach a state of saturation.
We are also preparing to gradually start up the rest of the remaining production lines as the situation is possible, so that our entire plant can be put into full operation. At that time, our production capacity will increase from the current 300,000 units a week to about 800,000 units [Note 1].
If necessary, some production lines can also be overloaded, and it is expected that the production capacity will be increased by about 20 percent.
However, the loss of production equipment is large, and it can only maintain a production cycle. Once this production cycle is over, it has to be shut down for maintenance. ”
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this: "Unless it is urgent, let's produce normally." ”
"We understand." Xu Yang nodded.
"Are there any difficulties at the moment?" Wu Hao walked into the office building and asked.
Xu Yang hesitated after hearing his words, and then said to Wu Hao: "It's easy to say in other aspects, but there is a shortage of manpower. Especially in the past few days, we have been working almost all day. If this continues, everyone may be a little unbearable.
Secondly, in terms of the transportation of raw materials and products, because the production has increased and the consumption is too fast, there are some difficulties in transportation.
However, we have communicated with the logistics and transportation company in this regard, and they said that they will deal with it as soon as possible. ”
Wu Hao waved his hand when he heard this: "Not as soon as possible, but immediately, contact them and let them start to solve this problem immediately."
Tell them directly, if they can't meet our logistics and transportation needs, then we will consider replacing people, just say what I said. ”
