On April 8, 2023, the China Green and Intelligent Steel Structure Construction and Industrial Digital Intelligence Ecosystem Conference was grandly held in Wuhan. Technical experts and academic leaders from the steel structure industry, upstream and downstream stakeholders, design, construction, and supporting enterprises, intelligent construction equipment manufacturers, and software service providers delivered keynote speeches. They shared insights on the development trends of the steel structure industry in the digital economy era and explored new possibilities and directions for informatization and digital transformation of steel structure enterprises. Dr. Wang Kunpeng, a steel structure expert from HG Cyber, delivered a keynote speech titled "HGTECH's Exploration and Practice in Digital Intelligent Steel Structure Manufacturing."
Currently, the steel structure industry stands at the crossroads of multi-format and multi-industry integration and transformation. Digital technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, IoT, and digital twins are increasingly integrated into steel structure production scenarios. As a provider of comprehensive intelligent manufacturing solutions, HG Cyber possesses four core capabilities: top-level planning for smart factories, smart production line design and implementation, IoT industrial connectivity, and industrial software development and system integration. Based on the varying digital transformation needs of different types of steel structure enterprises, HG Cyber has launched tailored digital transformation solutions for enterprises in bridge, shipbuilding, and prefabricated building steel structures.
At this year’s China Green and Intelligent Steel Structure Construction and Industrial Digital Intelligence Ecosystem Conference, Dr. Wang Kunpeng presented on the theme “Empowering Smart Factories with Digital Capabilities.” He introduced HGTECH’s intelligent equipment products, intelligent operation units, industrial software, steel structure industry kits, and successful smart factory cases. He emphasized that digital transformation is a key approach to addressing pain points in traditional manufacturing. It is not merely an upgrade of automation and informatization but a platform- and ecosystem-based evolution toward full connectivity and integration. Leveraging the advantages of ubiquitous connectivity, data integration, and intelligent innovation, HG Cyber’s digital platform for steel structures demonstrates strong capabilities in BIM visualization, yard management, welding machine group control, nesting integration, safety management, and production planning. HG Cyber remains committed to driving digital transformation in manufacturing. Its latest steel structure intelligent manufacturing solution builds a digital foundation centered around the steel structure digital platform, empowering the industry with smarter, greener, more efficient, and cost-effective factories.
HGTECH’s integrated smart manufacturing solution for the steel structure industry focuses on the following four aspects:
● Automation of key processes: Covers automatic loading/unloading, cutting, beveling, sorting, positioning, assembly, welding, and grinding for various components.
● Flexible and intelligent production lines: Based on “central control system + smart process-specific unit,” the production lines achieve full-process intelligent manufacturing under the control of the central system.
● Intelligent warehousing and logistics: Realizes end-to-end operation of steel plate loading/unloading, cutting, beveling, sorting, positioning, assembly welding, grinding, shot blasting, and painting.
● Information system platform: Builds a holistic information system and digital factory platform to enhance comprehensive intelligent management and control capabilities.
At present, digital transformation has become a critical task for every enterprise. Especially in the wake of the pandemic, the entire society is accelerating the pace of digital transformation. Although the goal is clear, the journey will be filled with challenges and uncertainties. Therefore, participating in idea exchanges and experience sharing can help enterprises reduce confusion and detours on the path to transformation.
With this in mind, HG Cyber shared numerous digital transformation project cases for the steel structure industry at this conference. By presenting insights and practical experiences from various leading steel structure enterprises, HG Cyber aims to help more companies build confidence, clarify their approach, and move forward more firmly on the path of digital transformation.
