Industrial 5G Benchmark! AsiaInfo Assists Risun Group in Building a 5G Production Private Network, Achieving the "First Business" in the Industry

2024-11-26 AsiaInfo

Constantly exposed to high temperatures, coal, dust, and staying with giant steel machinery—this is the frontline production scene of traditional coal coking...

 

Risun Group, a leading enterprise in China's coal coking and chemical industry, is the world's largest coke production supplier. To implement green and safe production, prioritize human beings, achieve cost reduction and efficiency enhancement, and facilitate digital transformation, Risun Group has continuously explored safe, efficient, and labor-reducing or labor-free production methods. AsiaInfo's 5G private network provides the foundational conditions for advancing this transformation.

5G Private Network Boosts "Five Major Vehicles" Production Efficiency by Nearly 20% and Reduces Labor Costs by About 30%


The "Five Major Vehicles" refer to the five core pieces of equipment used in coke production (coal charging cars, coke pushing cars, coke quenching cars, coke-barrier cars, and fume guiding cars). They are specialized machines equipped with steel wheels and rails.


Previously, the operation of these colossal devices, often tens of meters in height and length, relied on WiFi network signal transmission. However, the existing WiFi network had low bandwidth, poor speed, and unstable signals, failing to meet the timely and efficient interworking and interconnection, video transmission, and other needs of the "Five Major Vehicles," which contradicted the Group's automation and digital transformation goals.

To address the production and operation requirements of Risun Group's "Five Major Vehicles," AsiaInfo leveraged its self-developed 5G private network software and hardware products to build an industrial 5G private network and operation management platform for the Group. This was implemented at Risun Group's largest coke production base, Inner Mongolia Risun Zhongran Park, effectively supporting cross-terminal industrial interconnectivity. It provides stable signal transmission for various "Five Major Vehicles" processes such as position detection, furnace number recognition, automatic shaping, automatic alignment, and interlocking control. In addition, it achieves unified acquisition and takeover of operational and production data for the "Five Major Vehicles," marking the first "hot switch" between 5G and WiFi networks in China's coal coking and chemical industry.


Relevant executives from Risun Zhongran stated that the 5G private network has increased the production and operation efficiency of the "Five Major Vehicles" by nearly 20% and reduced labour costs by about 30%. It has provided strong support for continuous, stable, green, and safe production, laying a solid network foundation for the future realization of fully autonomous driving, "one-button coking," and comprehensive digitization of the park.
