Gridsum Dongzhi: Empowering the Frontline, Igniting the Engine of Manufacturing Data Applications
Recently, the world's first large-scale, authoritative, high-end platform in the intelligent field—the 2019 Third World Intelligence Congress—was held in Tianjin. He Jun, Vice President of TCL Holdings and CEO of Gridsum Dongzhi Technology, was invited to participate in the Industrial Internet Empowerment Manufacturing Transformation and Innovation Development Summit and delivered a keynote speech. Currently, it is a critical window for the implementation of the Industrial Internet. Seizing the opportunity and leveraging AI and big data to drive smart manufacturing upgrades has become a focal point. Therefore, He Jun elaborated on Gridsum Dongzhi's scenario-based Industrial Internet solutions—empowering frontline production and stimulating innovation potential.
Data + model + service are the three core components of the Industrial Internet, with data mining and utilization being central. However, the manufacturing industry currently faces many challenges in utilizing data. 80% of companies cannot access large amounts of data and information within their factories, lack "automation and digitalization" tools, and still rely on traditional spreadsheets for manual analysis and production scheduling. Production sequences are difficult to optimize, and production management depends purely on experience or management inertia. Leading enterprises in the industry face data application issues: they collect massive amounts of data but do not know how to use it effectively, failing to achieve auxiliary decision-making and predictive capabilities to create real value.
Empowering frontline producers, making connected data visible, and enabling field engineers to utilize and monetize data value—this is the deep data application solution proposed by Gridsum Dongzhi for manufacturing. Among these, the digital factory mobile dashboard allows viewing real-time operational conditions of all connected equipment and various KPI data indicators of production lines. Production process efficiency dashboards enable managers to monitor their own and their team's UPH indicators in real-time, facilitating immediate adjustments and management.
Gridsum Dongzhi's digital mobile middleware product enables remote real-time production collaboration and mobile operations.
Integrating data from the front-end, back-end, and supply chain, and enabling production R&D and management personnel to quickly access data on mobile platforms is only the foundation of data utilization. Gridsum Dongzhi's data application solutions also include industry-refined SaaS lightweight applications that can be quickly deployed on the production frontline to create value. Taking multi-factor analysis as an example, using independent and dependent variable analysis modules to quickly identify abnormal factors, applying VM virtual measurement to clean and iteratively fit thousands of factors, and generating real-time full-inspection "feature value" models. Factories using multi-factor analysis production lines can automatically adapt to changes with minimal intervention, control production environment errors within 2‰, reduce sampling ratios and batch anomaly losses, and create tens of millions of yuan in annual economic benefits. Traditional multi-factor analysis and application are very complex, but Gridsum Dongzhi has toolified it, utilizing open-source tools without programming or model redevelopment, allowing frontline personnel to operate quickly and simply.
Addressing the concerns and worries of enterprises applying Industrial Internet platforms, He Jun pointed out: "The significant differences in industry demands, long implementation cycles, slow iteration speeds, and risks of core process leakage are all reasons why the Industrial Internet is difficult to implement. Building a business platform that沉淀 industrial mechanism models, allowing engineers well-versed in process technology know-how to use self-service, graphical development tools for rapid debugging, validation, and developing application systems truly suitable for enterprises is key to implementation."
It is reported that Gridsum Dongzhi is also about to officially launch the industry's first industrial intelligent application service platform targeting manufacturing production sites.
