Michelin Shenyang Tire Co., Ltd. - "Digital Solutions Accurately Meet the Personalized and Rapid Delivery Needs of New Energy Vehicle Enterprises"
The tires are precisely positioned on the automated production line, and real-time performance inspection data such as dynamic balance, radial force, lateral force, geometric shape, etc. are displayed on the electronic screen... At Michelin Shenyang Tire Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Michelin Shenyang Factory"), tire products go offline through molding, vulcanization, testing and other processes, and then go global from here.
In recent years, the Chinese new energy vehicle market has flourished, and the demand for customized tires continues to rise. Michelin's Shenyang factory has accelerated the development of new technologies, resulting in a 340% increase in product orders and a total of over 250 tire specifications. Nowadays, this has become the largest and most technologically advanced high-end tire production base of Michelin Group in the world.
Rapid expansion poses a challenge to high-speed automated production lines. How can we maintain high efficiency and quality in production despite a surge in highly customized and small batch orders?
Li Yanbing, General Manager of Michelin Shenyang Factory, stated that the factory uses big data to predict market demand and artificial intelligence algorithms to optimize production scheduling. It has deployed over 30 digital solutions, deeply integrating artificial intelligence, machine vision, and big data technologies to significantly improve production flexibility, trial production efficiency, and product quality.
