The relocation of the highly-regarded Double Star Tire and each of the Double Star Machinery subsidiaries has made substantial progress. On March 28th, the groundbreaking ceremony for the project of the transformation and upgrading of green tires intelligent demonstration base of Double Star Environmental Protection was held in the Dongjiakou Economic Zone. The total investment of the project is 3.5 billion yuan, and it is expected to be completed by the end of December 2017. Since last year it was known that the twin-star tires were to be moved, and this time there was a substantial move. Mr. Zhao, who lives near the original Double Star Tire Company, said happily that he finally hoped to say goodbye to his old neighbor. As early as December 2013, Qingdao Double Star issued an announcement that its six wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Double Star Tire, Double Star Rubber Machinery and Double Star Casting Machinery, had relocated to the Dongjiakou Economic Zone. As an old state-owned enterprise, the existing hardware and software facilities are no longer in line with the development of modern tires. Double Star tires are exposed. In addition, the environmental issue is also a difficult problem to be solved before the relocation of the double-star tires. Although the project was approved by the environmental protection department, the Double Star Tire Company located in the core area of ​​the former Jiaonan City was close to the residential community, which made its impact on the surrounding environment more The more prominent. At the groundbreaking ceremony on March 28, the reporter was informed that the investment in Double Star Tire's environmental relocation project will reach 3.5 billion yuan. It will base itself on environmental relocation, transformation and upgrading, and build a green tire intelligent production demonstration base. Dongjiakou Port has obvious advantages in location. It is a world-class port. According to Li Yong, deputy general manager of Double Star Group Co., Ltd., the location advantage of the Dongjiakou Economic Zone facilitates the import of raw materials and the export of products, which saves time costs to some extent. Double Star Green tire intelligent production base is the first green, environmental protection and world-class tire production demonstration base built by the group. Li Yong introduced that through the transformation and upgrading of corporate environmental protection, the base has developed and manufactured high-performance radial passenger car tires, high-performance radial passenger car tires and green tire automation equipment, and established the world’s first dual-star green tire intelligent demonstration base and intelligent production of green tires. Equipment demonstration base. At the same time, the base will also build a global R & D center, testing center, trade center and automotive tire test center. The Double Star Group will become an internationalized state-owned group integrating tires, machinery, real estate, and cloud networks. Li Yong said. It is reported that Binary Tire purchases approximately 1200 mu of industrial land and plans to build a tire project with annual production capacity of 10 million sets of high-performance radial passenger car tires, 5 million sets of high-performance meridian truck tires, 1300 sets of automatic rubber and plastics machinery, and automated foundry machinery. 600 sets/year of equipment manufacturing projects. It is expected that by the end of 2017, the Double Star Green Tire Intelligent Production Demonstration Base and the Double Star Green Tire Intelligent Production Equipment Demonstration Base will be fully completed. The reporter noted that currently, the Twinstar Tire has about 4 million sets of steel radial tires and 6 million sets of steel radial tires per year. This shows that the company's production capacity will expand after the relocation is completed. The most important significance of project relocation is the transformation. After the completion of the project, the product is positioned as 'three highs and one low', ie, high-end, high-differentiation, high value-added, low-return odds; and the manufacturing position is 'three highs and one high'. That is, automation, intelligence, information, and high efficiency. Li Yong said that on the other hand, the project has certain significance for improving the environment of the old city, further optimizing industrial institutions, expanding employment opportunities and stimulating local economic growth. Transformation robots help standardize production The reporter learned from the interview that behind the strenuous transformation of Double Star Tire, it is the industrial dilemma that the Chinese rubber industry has faced. From the industry perspective, tires have a history of more than a hundred years. As a highly competitive industry has developed to the present day, compared to the giants of the multinational companies in the tire industry, Chinese tires do not yet have a world-class brand, and no brand has become a quality and technology. synonym. Li Yong, for example, said that currently domestic tire production accounts for 25% of the world, but sales are only 13%, and Chinese tire companies have no right to speak in the world tire market. According to Li Yong, the relocated company will fully reflect the green. We want to import green raw materials for production. He said that in product design, it will focus on the environmental protection and safety performance of the product. In particular, it is worth mentioning that companies will vigorously promote robots through information, intelligence, and automation to reduce labor intensity and achieve global leadership in efficiency and energy consumption. Traditional tires are labor-intensive and technology-intensive. In the future, our production line will save 1/3 manpower. There will be industrial robots on the production line. Each device will operate automatically and will no longer be labor. Li Yong describes the future of the production workshop, using robots to save manpower, and on the other hand, it also helps to achieve standardized production. In addition, recycling will be implemented in production, such as recycling of waste tires.
