Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Compared with its infancy a few years ago, Cyrus has been able to stir up new topics in social media and the auto market with a series of new energy vehicles, hitting new sales highs. As a new power in vehicle manufacturing, the rise of Cyrus is certainly related to the continued popularity of the new energy industry, but it has more to do with its focus on manufacturing and excellence, because opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

The Super Challenge of Super Factory

From the initial popularity of the M5 to the listed M7 and the upcoming M9, Cyrus is using a series of products to build a better market positioning and impact higher overall sales. In the critical period of brand climbing, user experience climbing and production capacity climbing, the efficiency and quality of manufacturing will be the key base.

How to use limited space and time to achieve higher quality, higher production capacity and multiple challenges brought by new products and new processes are the core problems that Selis needs to solve at present; similar challenges are also a common problem for the majority of manufacturing enterprises in the spring tide of industrial transformation and upgrading. Many successful cases in the industry also show that the digital and intelligent transformation of manufacturing plants is the key to break the situation.

In other words, in order to achieve the set goals under many restrictions, Cyrus needs to rely on technological progress to seek efficiency breakthroughs. In addition to more and more advanced manufacturing robots, the digital level of manufacturing parks and factories will also become the key to efficient operation.

In the final analysis, what Cyrus needs is an efficient intelligent factory and a people-oriented digital park; it needs to provide convenient network connectivity for every process, every production equipment, every terminal, and every employee. So that huge amounts of data can be converged and processed in digital twins, and then use data to drive factory operation, creating a full-dimensional balance of efficiency, quality, cost and experience. Of course, it is his old friend Huawei that can help Cyrus achieve this goal.

If you want to be rich, pave the road.

To produce, the net comes first.

The digital practice of intelligent factories in manufacturing industry is faced with three major challenges:

Data island: the manufacturing process of new energy vehicles consists of more than 500 processes, many of which are isolated from each other, so it is difficult to exchange data, and it is easy to form data islands.

The connection requirements are complicated: a large number of mechanical equipment and automatic robots are involved in the production process, and the protocols used and the requirements for network bandwidth and delay are also different, so it is necessary to establish efficient connections for massive devices at the same time.

In the extremely complex actual production scene, how to eliminate interference factors, how to achieve efficient management, simple operation and maintenance and accurate troubleshooting will be directly related to the reliability of production.

With extensive experience in the digital transformation of manufacturing and a deep understanding of old friends, Huawei quickly figured out the needs and challenges of Cyrus. Following the trail, Huawei has also positioned the network as a grasp and breakthrough point for a series of problems. As a result, Huawei put forward the corresponding smart car enterprise network solution.

Constructing a New Base of Intelligent Manufacturing with Advanced Wireless Network

The smart car enterprise network solution proposed by Huawei is the product of the integration of various network technology systems and brand-new AI technology and management thinking, which not only emphasizes the efficiency of management and operation and maintenance, but also provides different forms of network connection for different application scenarios, so as to create a better connection experience, ensure effective data transmission and efficient collection, and finally create the premise and pave the way for digital transformation and data-driven.

In the specific network architecture level, Huawei plan is a set of campus network as a whole, including production network composite network architecture, and through the VxLan based on SDN technology to achieve different network functions and unified management.

Management level: the integration of IT and OT is not only a major trend, but also the key to the lasting efficiency and stability of the smart factory. As the management core of the new network, the iMaster NCE in the solution can provide Cyrus with powerful management functions. With the blessing of SDN technology, operation and maintenance personnel can visually monitor the traffic, connection and health of the park in real time, and obtain the "eye of God" of operation and maintenance management. At the same time, the operation and maintenance personnel can also adjust the network configuration in real time through traffic awareness and intelligent scheduling technology, so that the key business flow and data flow can always be fully guaranteed. By integrating advanced AI algorithms, iMaster NCE controller can also complete automatic network performance optimization, health assessment, fault location and root analysis, with a higher level of automation to ensure accurate and efficient operation and maintenance work.

Campus network level: Huawei chooses an all-optical solution based on F5G technology. Through the networking mode of IP+POL, the campus network can not only maintain good technical compatibility, but also provide extremely high uplink and uplink connection bandwidth for the massive high-definition intelligent cameras, Internet of things devices and various subnets in the campus, ensuring that the network will not be congested in the short term due to capacity expansion and increased demand. At the same time, Huawei F5G all-optical campus network also uses a large number of passive optical devices, which can reduce the overall energy consumption and build a green network on the premise of reducing the difficulty of deployment, construction cycle and simplifying equipment.

Production network level: Huawei's plan uses a large number of Wi-Fi 6e standard AP equipment to build the access layer, thus providing higher connection bandwidth while reducing the network cable "braids" for a large number of production equipment. In this way, the installation and use of production equipment can be more convenient, the later production line adjustment and expansion do not have to be bound by network lines and connections, and there are fewer restrictions on the deployment of all kinds of AGV unmanned vehicles.

During the broader digital transition period, the network under construction will be connected with the new and old big data centers at the same time; for this reason, Huawei has also adopted a double Border design in the network architecture of the production area, with a set of mutual core routes connecting two computer rooms at the same time.

The unified planning and deployment of Wi-Fi network can solve the management confusion, inefficient operation and maintenance, radio frequency interference and other phenomena caused by "private" AP in the traditional production environment, and can meet the different requirements of various production equipment to the network and achieve efficient monitoring and management by establishing a separate VxLan for different types of equipment and uniformly distributing various parameter configurations. At the same time, Huawei's unique M-LAG technology can also effectively avoid disconnection through link aggregation of multiple switches, thus ensuring the constant stability of the production network.

Taking the tensioner commonly used in automobile manufacturing as an example, Huawei has equipped a dozen tightening machines distributed in different links in the factory with a separate Wi-Fi network, which not only cuts off the braids of the network cable, but also allows Cyrus to configure the network separately according to the characteristics of the tightening machine, taking into account both stability and efficiency.

Compared with the previous "case-by-case" single solution, Huawei smart car enterprise network solution has a higher perspective and entry point, which can achieve extreme speed, stability and intelligence of the network as a whole.

Extreme speed: Wi-Fi 6e standard AP provides Gbps-level bandwidth to pave highways for data; Wi-Fi and IoT networks are integrated to reduce network costs by 40% with "one network bearer"; different network configurations and data interfaces are provided through SDN and container technology, so that "data can go up and down intelligently"

Stability: use M-LAG technology to improve the reliability of equipment connection and achieve uninterrupted 7x24 hour network; build a highly reliable TSN network through traffic sensing and choreography to achieve microsecond delay and double-send zero packet loss; provide higher SLA for key business with the help of network slicing technology

Intelligence: extensive use of visualization, SDN and AI technology to make operation and maintenance management more intuitive, more efficient, more automatic, and achieve high efficiency and accuracy of network operation and maintenance.

The network comes first, and the future has come.

Like a large number of manufacturing peers and even thousands of industries, Selis's transformation and upgrading is also a digital road from management-driven to data-driven. Just like the transition from fuel to electric drive, the new power brings not only the upgrade of horsepower, but also the overall innovation of car-building ideas and driving experience. As a result, enterprises can be more efficient, stable and sustainable development.

From a far perspective, in the mountain city of Chongqing, a new energy industry as the core of urban upgrading, industrial upgrading is also in full swing. Under the multiple advantages of the development of digital technology, policy incentives and the landing of the industrial chain, more and more car companies are planning new bases and new production lines in Chongqing, and the transformation and upgrading of a city is also under way.
