AVIC Changhe Aircraft Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. is my country's helicopter scientific research and production base and a backbone enterprise in the aviation industry. It has the ability to develop and mass produce multiple varieties, multiple series, and multiple models of helicopters and aviation parts subcontract production. With the rapid development of the aviation industry, the company's willingness to continuously transform and upgrade its products, especially the demand for intelligent manufacturing technology and processing equipment, is increasingly strong.

December 1, 2016, Nanchang-The "Intelligent Manufacturing Overall Solution Seminar" jointly organized by the National Defense Science and Technology Industry Processing Technology Application Research Center, AVIC Jiangxi Hongdu Aviation Industry Group Co., Ltd., AVIC Changhe Aircraft Industry (Group) Co., Ltd., and Huizi Marketing Planning (Beijing) Co., Ltd. was successfully held at Nanchang Station as scheduled!

At the just-concluded 11th China Aerospace Expo, Airbus predicted that China will need 5970 new passenger and cargo aircraft in the next 20 years, accounting for 18% of the total global demand for new aircraft in the same period. Boeing has also boldly predicted that the total value of China's new aircraft demand in the next 20 years will reach more than 1 trillion US dollars, becoming the world's first market with a total value of more than one trillion US dollars. China's aerospace industry has entered a period of rapid development. In addition, as the concepts of intelligent manufacturing and industrial 4.0 continue to heat up, and the manufacturing industry is facing the need for transformation and upgrading, my country's aerospace manufacturing industry has also ushered in severe challenges!

Founded in 1951, AVIC Jiangxi Hongdu Aviation Industry Group Co., Ltd. (Hongdu Company for short) is one of the earliest enterprises engaged in the design and manufacture of aircraft, missiles, motorcycles and other products in China. Ten "firsts" have been created in the history of the research and development of motorcycles and textile machinery ". Hongdu Company has two factories, the Aircraft Design and Research Institute and the Missile Design and Research Institute. It is the only large-scale aviation main engine factory in the aviation industry that "integrates factories and institutes, and integrates aircraft and bombs. In recent years, with the development of the aviation industry and the proposal of intelligent manufacturing, Hongdu Company is constantly upgrading and transforming, and pays great attention to advanced processing technology, equipment and digital manufacturing system.

To this end, the National Defense Science and Technology Industry difficult-to-process material processing Technology Application Research Center and Huizhide Company joined hands with international leading processing equipment suppliers and processing supporting enterprises to come to Nanchang to jointly organize the "Intelligent Manufacturing overall solution Seminar". Through on-the-spot investigation, carry out targeted exchanges. A total of 50 people from Hongdu Company and Changfei Company's manufacturing engineering, production, technology, management, operation and other functional departments attended the seminar.

The meeting kicked off with a speech by Xiong Jie, deputy chief engineer of Hongdu Company. He introduced: "With the development and traction of models, Hongdu Company has continued to follow up the development of international advanced manufacturing technology and high-end equipment in recent years, and has successively introduced a number of international first-class high-end CNC machining machines, corresponding to skin mirror milling Technology, high-speed processing technology and difficult-to-process material processing technology have also made breakthroughs. In terms of difficult-to-process materials, the mass production of titanium alloy structural parts and high-strength steel structural parts has been realized, and the quality and efficiency of difficult-to-process materials will be further improved. Nowadays, with the proposal of intelligent manufacturing, tool state monitoring, network processing, automated production lines, intelligent workshops, and big data applications will become the focus of the future development of Hongdu CNC machining."

As a result, director Meng Xuan from GF processing scheme focused on: "the process of intelligent manufacturing is a management process from end to beginning, and the management of each process should correspond from top to bottom, otherwise the processing chain will be broken and cannot be precisely reflected." Today, there are: AgieCharmilles WEDM machine tools, EDM machine tools, high-speed discharge hole processing, laser texture processing; Mikron high-speed machining, high-performance machining, economical machining; Liechti a leading brand specializing in processing impellers, bladed discs and blades; Step-Tec high-speed motorized spindle manufacturing; System 3R repeated positioning fixture and automation solution; GF will provide users with an overall solution based on "tomorrow's factory architecture.

Song Yonghui, an aerospace industry manager from Shangao Cutting Tool, introduced the high-efficiency cutting scheme of aerospace difficult-to-process materials with a large number of application cases and innovated customized solutions for products. Shangao Cutting Tool helps customers greatly improve their technological level with know how. The famous numerical control measurement enterprise focuses on "dynamic, high efficiency and high precision", and expounds the application of precision measurement and control technology in aerospace industry. OPENMIND manager Qu Pengwen described the development path of efficient CAM solutions in the context of industrial 4.0, and interpreted the key nodes of manufacturing goals from a professional perspective. Finally, the experts of various enterprises also gave detailed answers to the questions raised by the audience.

The holding of this seminar effectively realized the docking of supply and demand. As Xiong Jie, deputy chief engineer, pointed out: "in the process of planning and organization and implementation of intelligent manufacturing, we have some problems, such as how to realize the establishment of digital manufacturing system in the workshop and the development of intelligence? How to implement material distribution and automatic scheduling at the workshop level? The best solution is urgently needed. This seminar is a two-way discussion, a pragmatic and forward-looking exchange, and we are greatly inspired."
