Zhou Liwei, director of the Standards and Quality Department of the China Building Materials Federation, clarified the focus of future industry standardization work and introduced the background of the revision of the "Energy Consumption Limits for Building Sanitary Ceramics". At present, the Building Materials Federation has completed 921 national standards, 1,217 industry standards, and 27 measurement technical specifications. The key work in the next stage will be to promote "standard transformation", establish a new standard system, transform production-oriented standards into consumption-oriented and service-oriented standards, and then establish a traceability system for key products.
In terms of promoting the green development of the industry, while paying attention to the product standards and intelligent manufacturing standards of supporting prefabricated buildings, we also attach importance to energy consumption standards. We will carry out dual control measures of total volume and intensity, and include carbon emission indicators in the standards. Prepare for carbon peak and substantially advance the progress of energy conservation and carbon reduction.

Transformation to Intelligence
Make traditional industries untraditional
Technological progress has accelerated the upgrading of machinery and equipment, product changes have forced innovation in machinery and equipment, the disappearance of the demographic dividend has accelerated the mechanization and automation of enterprises, and Industry 4.0 has helped enterprises build smart factories... Various factors are intertwined, and the ceramic industry has become digital and intelligent. Transformation is imminent.
Zhang Boqing made an analysis of "Development Status and Trends of Intelligent Manufacturing of Building Sanitary Ceramics". He believes that intelligent manufacturing in China's building and sanitary ceramics industry is to fully apply digitalization to the design, production, and sales of the building and sanitary ceramics industry through a series of new technologies such as big data, blockchain, cloud computing, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence. link to promote the transformation and upgrading of the construction and sanitary ceramics industry.
▲ Zhang Boqing, executive director of the Mechanical Energy Saving and Environmental Protection Branch of the China Building and Sanitary Ceramics Association
After efforts in recent years, the full-line fully automated production process of building ceramics and sanitary ceramics enterprises has achieved remarkable results, basically controlling the number of workers on the entire line to less than 50. The building and sanitary ceramics industry is moving from the mechanization and automation stage to digitalization and intelligence. transformation stage.
At present, in China's building and sanitary ceramics industry, some building ceramics companies have implemented the following technologies for intelligent manufacturing: technicians give instructions in the control room, monitor operating data, raw materials are automatically fed, and through continuous ball milling, spray powdering, Press forming, drying, glazing, kiln firing, polishing and sorting are fully automated.Robotic packaging, AGV forklift warehousing, intelligent three-dimensional warehousing...
Among them, the New Pearl Green Intelligent Manufacturing Demonstration Production Line, Weimei Group Chongqing Manufacturing Demonstration Production Line, Mona Lisa Group Tengxian Base Production Line and Huida Group Sanitary Ceramics Manufacturing Demonstration Production Line are all excellent cases. These cases show that the construction and ceramics industry is gradually transforming from digitalization of individual links to primary intelligence, and whole-line intelligence 4.0 is beginning to take shape.
However, compared with the intelligent manufacturing processes in other industries, these can only be regarded as the prototype of intelligent factories. Zhang Baiqing believes that the ceramics industry still has a long way to go in terms of intelligent manufacturing.
In the future, if China's construction and sanitary ceramics industry wants to achieve truly intelligent manufacturing, it will require supporting development and overall implementation by relevant enterprises and units in the industry.
Intelligent wet milling system
Promote the intelligent development of the whole line of the construction and ceramics industry
In the afternoon of the same day, the China Building and Sanitary Ceramics Association also held a seminar on intelligent wet milling systems.
Zhang Boqing made it clear at the seminar that the use of continuous ball milling in the ceramic construction industry has become an inevitable trend. Currently, the intelligent wet milling system proposed by Guangdong Bohui Huasheng Technology Co., Ltd. does not require a sewage treatment system. All raw materials can be directly consumed in an internal cycle without additional emissions. This reduces the waste of raw materials and makes the slurry composition more stable. .

Representatives of Dongpeng Group reported that the Chongqing Yongchuan production base uses an intelligent wet milling system, and the effect exceeds expectations. They shared their experience on site. When crushing sand and gravel, the particle size is guaranteed to be around 3mm, which can control costs. , discharge and consumption are guaranteed to be in the best condition; after the soil is slurried, it is properly screened and then divided into bins to discharge the materials, which can ensure that the entire set of equipment runs smoother and more stable.
Representatives from Dongpeng Group bluntly stated that the use of intelligent wet milling systems can reduce labor intensity and energy consumption, optimize the workshop environment, and improve the workplace happiness of workshop workers.
Representatives from Shuncheng Group visited Dongpeng Group’s production line in Yongchuan, Chongqing for the first time. While observing the manufacturing process, they lamented that “Comparing the intelligent wet milling system with previous equipment technology, it’s like heaven and earth.”< /p>
In view of the current technological development of equipment companies, the Nobel representative proposed "to provide a complete line production plan, the document reflects clear equipment energy consumption and environmental protection indicators, develop and apply new energy, in addition to the powder milling system such as polishing and other key Equipment improvements” and other requirements.
Bohui enterprise representatives responded to the demand that the integrity and connectivity of the entire line system are the key to reducing losses. Boxui is working hard to establish a simulation experiment platform, which will be passed in the futureSimulation experiments can be used to calculate energy consumption and cost data, and provide enterprises with service solutions that can intuitively display cost data.
The China Building and Sanitary Ceramics Association believes that with the joint efforts of upstream and downstream enterprises in the building ceramics industry, China's intelligent building ceramics industry will develop as a whole, and the future is promising!
