Futong Group is a leading enterprise in the optical communication industry and one of China's top 500 enterprises. Vijay has designed an information-based and intelligent material automation system for its world's largest cable manufacturing base in Jiashan. The system can handle 9 kinds of powder and granular raw materials and 2 kinds of paste materials. The materials can be supplied to 180 production line material points in the production base. The system realizes the fully automated centralized feeding, storage, drying, metering and transportation of cable materials with an annual production capacity of 90 million core kilometers. The processing capacity is up to 60 tons per hour, and the longest transportation distance is over 600 meters.
This project is a comprehensive practice of automation and informatization. All material information and usage conditions have achieved data measurement and recording. The system host computer software is deeply integrated with the factory MES system and interconnected with the enterprise ERP system, providing a reliable implementation platform for exploring Industry 4.0. The project successfully solved the technical problems of wire drawing, dust, efficient drying, online metal removal, ultra-long distance transportation and other industries through Vijay's patented technology and innovative technical solutions, saving customers a lot of equipment investment and significantly reducing operating costs. The online measurement and control technology of moisture content in pellets has greatly improved the quality rate of products and set a new technical benchmark for the industry.
