The Road to Smart Manufacturing in Industry 4.0

Date: 2020-05-14 10:41:44

In March 2018, the ELLAI No.4 factory with 500 million investment was officially put into operation. This energy-saving and environment-friendly intelligent factory with the most advanced production equipment and cutting-edge information management system has become a monument in ELLAI's development history.



What is Industry 4.0?

With the upgrading of consumption and product technology iteration, Industry 4.0 is like a "flu" sweeping through various industries. Before understanding Industry 4.0, let's take a look at the stages of industrial development.

Industry 1.0: The era of mechanical engineering, in which factories were mechanized by water power and steam engines, probably from the 1760s to the mid-1800s.

Industry 2.0: the era of electrification and automation, which means the adoption of mass production of products powered by electricity based on the division of labor, probably from the second half of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century.

Industry 3.0: The era of electronic information technology, which means the widespread use of electronics and information technology to further increase the automation of manufacturing processes significantly. It has continued from the 1970s to the present.

Industry 4.0: In 2013, Germany proposed the era of intelligent industry and raised it to a national strategy, triggering a global industrial transformation race. Industry 4.0 is the intelligent era of "Internet + manufacturing".

ELLAI Intelligent Factories

In March 2018, ELLAI's No. 4 factory went into operation. This intelligent factory with the most advanced production equipment and cutting-edge information management system has basically realized the "Internet of Things" in the workshop, the transparency of the production process, the "unmanned" production site, and takes advantage of big data analysis to make production decisions.

Intelligent Storage System

ELLAI has built a number of unmanned solid racking warehouses, aided by automatic identification systems and automatic sorting equipment to automatically access materials and achieve fully automated and information-based management of products.

Intelligent Logistics Transportation

The production site shuttles Automated Guided Vehicles with remote central monitoring and precise positioning to deliver the products to the commanded position, realizing true automation.

Intelligent Equipments



The importation of dozens of glazing robots from abroad, each robot can complete the glazing of a toilet in 180 seconds, and with the repair and inspection line, it has the advantage that manual labor can not be compared.

Information interconnection, big data analysis

ELLAI intelligent factory upgrades from traditional mode to digital and intelligent, forming a complete and coherent system to ensure the quality of the whole product process.



In the era of Industry 4.0, the efficient operation of ELLAI intelligent factory also reflects the future potential of intelligence, working together to build a humane factory with high energy efficiency, green environment and comfortable environment.
