At the same time, with the help of 5G technology, the simulation screen of the conference site intuitively displays the converter smelting situation in real time. Chen Derong, a steel smelting graduate who has been in the front line of steelmaking for more than ten years, said at the venue, "In the past, steelmaking had to go through multiple processes such as shaking furnaces, but now through smart manufacturing and 5G technology, remote one-key steelmaking has been realized. Today, here is 3,000 meters away from the site, next time we can achieve one-key steelmaking 3,000 kilometers away, and Zhanjiang Steel's steel in Shanghai. ”

This "steel aircraft carrier" with a production capacity of approaching 100 million tons is trying to lead the industry with a new round of disruption with smart manufacturing. In fact, as early as 2007, Baosteel successfully tested the water of "one-click steelmaking", but at that time it did not achieve a real sense of process penetration. At present, during the implementation period of China Baowu's "Smart Manufacturing Action Plan (2018-2020)", a number of smart manufacturing projects have matured after several years of gestation.

On July 21, the day before Chen Derong showed the "one-click steelmaking" to the outside world, several media, including The Paper (www.thepaper.cn), walked into the Baoshan base of Baosteel Co., Ltd., cold-rolled black light factory, equipment remote operation and maintenance center, and finished product intelligent logistics control center, all of which showed a completely different appearance from the traditional steel industry.

Baosteel cold rolling plant C008 hot-dip galvanizing intelligent workshop, is a pilot project of intelligent manufacturing demonstration and industrial Internet application of iron and steel enterprises of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which has been under construction since 2017. When the surging news reporter walked into the workshop a few days ago, there was no bright lights of a traditional steel mill, and what he saw was a "black light factory"

Baosteel Co., Ltd. focuses on the core process of cold-rolled hot-dip galvanizing, and has developed the world's first electromagnetic skimming system (EMD) for zinc pots, which works in synergy with the slag robot system to realize unmanned zinc pot slag extraction operations. After the transformation, the robot replaces the manual and can automatically clean the slag periodically or manually start the automatic slag cleaning, so that the slag is more uniform. The operation area is also enclosed by a safety fence, and equipped with door locks and alarm lights to prevent personal safety accidents.
