简体中文 The basic question: What are intelligence and greening? Why are they central trends?
Flat-top chain conveyor line as the key equipment for industrial automation, its intelligence refers to real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance through IoT, AI algorithms; greening emphasises the use of energy-saving technologies and recyclable materials to reduce carbon emissions.2025 market size is expected to exceed 23 billion yuan, with an annual growth rate of 10%, the core driving force from two aspects: first, the surge in demand for manufacturing automation, such as the The automotive and electronics industries rely on high-precision conveyor lines; the second is the mandatory requirements of the policy, such as the Ministry of Ecology and Environment stipulates that from 2024 onwards, new projects need to comply with the latest energy-efficiency standards. If we do not promote the dual transformation, enterprises will face triple pressure: high energy consumption leads to uncontrolled costs, technology lags behind and loses market competitiveness, and the policy does not meet the standard is excluded from the supply chain system.
Scenario questions: how to land on intelligence? Which scenarios are prioritised to benefit?
Production Monitoring Scenario
Through the deployment of sensors and cloud computing platform, real-time collection of chain plate wear, temperature and vibration data. For example, after the introduction of AI diagnostic system in an automobile factory, the breakdown downtime has been reduced by 30% and the maintenance cost has been reduced by 25%. The key operation needs to be divided into three steps: installing high-precision sensors → building a data centre → training the prediction model.
Flexible Manufacturing Scenarios
The explosion of e-commerce has given rise to the demand for multiple varieties and small batches. A logistics company using modular flat-top chain, with RFID technology to achieve dynamic optimisation of the sorting path, efficiency improvement of 40%. the implementation of the key points are: choose to support the rapid reconfiguration of the chain plate design → integration of intelligent scheduling algorithms → configuration of adaptive drive system.
Energy Saving and Consumption Reduction Scenarios
Greening needs to run through the whole life cycle: the material side uses high-strength alloy steel to extend the life; the energy side uses inverter motors to reduce standby energy consumption; and the recycling side establishes a mechanism for reusing chain plates. The energy consumption of a food factory was reduced by 18% after the transformation, and the annual electricity cost was saved over one million.
Solutions: What happens if you don't transform in time? What is the path to a breakthrough?
Risk warning: the cost of stagnation
- Costs are out of controlHigh-energy-consuming equipment makes the proportion of electricity cost exceeding the total cost of production line 30%, while it can be compressed to 18% after green transformation.
- Loss of orders: Headline car companies explicitly require suppliers to complete smart certification by 2025, and those who fail to meet the standard are moved off the purchasing list
- Policy penalties: Carbon emission overruns face a fine of $4% in revenue and a mandatory shutdown to rectify the situation
Implementation path: three-phase breakout strategy
- diagnostic priorityTarget bottlenecks with energy efficiency audits, e.g. nodes with a conveyor line idling rate of 35% need to be prioritised for the installation of automatic start/stop modules.
- reform in stages: Advancement of easy and then difficult - Replacement of energy-saving motors → Deployment of sensor network → Access to MES system
- ecological coordination: Jointly attack the necklace technology (e.g. high-temperature-resistant chips) with universities and build chain plate recycling network with recycling enterprises.
Foundational questions: How can policy accelerate dualisation? How can companies take advantage of the situation?
TheMade in China 2025》设定硬指标：2025年平顶链输送线在制造业普及率需超80%。配套政策形成组合拳：税收方面，采购智能设备可抵免25%所得税；补贴方面，绿色改造项目获最高30%资金支持；惩罚机制上，未达标企业取消投标资格。头部企业已构建Policy Dividend Transformation模型：例如诺力智能获27亿补贴后研发投入翻倍，市场份额跃升至15%。
Scenario questions: which technologies are breakthroughs? Where to get resources?
Smart Technology Breakthroughs
- AI Visual Collision Avoidance SystemSolve the problem of bottle pouring around the corner, a beverage factory installed after the pouring rate to zero!
- Blockchain Traceability Chain Board: Enabling full life-cycle carbon footprint tracking to meet EU carbon tariffs
- Liquid Metal CoatingWear resistance is increased by 3 times, extending the life to 50,000 hours in mine conveying scenarios.
Resource Access Path
- Government platform: Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Green Manufacturing Special Fund (annual amount of 5 billion)
- Technical Cooperation: Intelligent Conveying Laboratory with Huazhong University of Science and Technology
- Certification channel: China Electromechanical Association green equipment certification (certified enterprises purchasing priority)
Solutions: What to do if you encounter technical barriers? What are the alternatives?
Technological chokepoint response programme
When the localisation of high-end bearings is blocked, a dual-track system can be adopted: short-term import of Japanese Seiko products to maintain production, while the joint development of Ha Shaft alternative models. If the lack of funds to undertake a full set of transformation, select the key nodes pilot - for example, only in the filling section of the deployment of intelligent chain, the cost reduction of 60% can still improve the yield rate of 15%.
Alternative pathways for green retrofitting
In the face of high-cost PV power supply solutions, a company innovatively adopts a time-sharing tariff strategy: peak period speed down operation + valley full speed to make up for the production, energy costs plummeted by 40%. the material side of the recycled steel instead of brand-new material, the strength of the standard and the carbon footprint is reduced by 65%.
Future Focus: Countdown to 2030 Vision and Action
Three-dimensional data reveals the urgency: by 2025 the penetration rate of intelligent equipment needs to reach 35%, and the green flat-top chain will become the market access threshold. The timetable for enterprise action has been made clear - energy efficiency diagnosis will be completed within 6 months, the first phase of transformation will be launched in 12 months, and access to the industrial cloud platform will be available in 24 months. Those pioneering enterprises that take the lead in integrating digital twin and carbon management system are harvesting the market at a CAGR of 17%. When the last metre of the conveyor line completes its intelligent iteration, the new quality productivity picture of Made in China will really unfold.
