🌿 Deway Stainless Steel: Embracing a New Era of Green Intelligent Manufacturing 🚀

Imagine a vast production line with only 2 operators, who monitor production data in real-time through an intelligent control system. The factory area is spacious and tidy, with lush greenery and grass everywhere...

Recently, upon approaching Zhejiang Deway Stainless Steel Pipe Industry Co., Ltd. in Xinfeng Town, Nanhu District, the traditional impression of a steel mill has been completely overturned.

Now, keywords like green and intelligent have become the main theme of Deway Stainless Steel. With digitalization as the "boat" and greenization as the "sail," they have achieved a synergistic effect of "1+1＞2," winning a broader market space for the company.

🔢 Every Steel Pipe Has a Unique Identification Number

Deway Stainless Steel is a large high-tech enterprise specializing in the production of stainless steel and special alloy steel pipes and fittings. In every steel pipe produced, Deway's "smart manufacturing power" is hidden.

Deway Stainless Steel, always in the traditional industry field, has always attached great importance to intelligent manufacturing. However, in its early stages, due to a lack of in-depth understanding and practical experience in digital transformation, Deway often felt at a loss, like "punching a cotton ball," with nowhere to exert its strength and difficult to find a breakthrough.

As early as 2017, Deway Stainless Steel reached a strategic cooperation with an information technology company to jointly promote the construction of the enterprise's industrial internet platform and cultivate the "main battlefield" of digital transformation.

Especially through the use of the MES system, the company has achieved full-system control over the factory, realizing full-process control of process guidance, production performance, quality inspection, and product traceability. "Through the MES system, management personnel can monitor product quality by checking equipment, replacing manual inspection and patrol with product traceability, which greatly improves product quality and reduces the error rate of manual quality inspection," said Hu Kailai, General Manager of Zhejiang Deway Stainless Steel Pipe Industry Co., Ltd.

Thanks to the construction of the enterprise's digital system, now every steel pipe produced by Deway has a unique code, which can trace every link in the production process, time node, operator, and process parameter records, etc. Production efficiency has increased by 40.8%, energy utilization efficiency has increased by 15.7%, and the networking rate of key processes of the machine is 100%, transforming into a national-level specialized and new "little giant" enterprise.

🌞 Over 70% of the Production Line Uses Energy-saving Motors

Standing in the administrative building of Deway Stainless Steel and looking into the distance, you can see rows of neatly distributed solar panels covering the roof, shining like a green "treasure bowl" under the scorching sun. Roof photovoltaics convert solar energy into a continuous source of electricity, supplying the entire factory area.

"We have utilized all the idle roofs above our factory buildings, building photovoltaic panels, totaling about 70,000 square meters. The electricity generated by the photovoltaic panels during the day is basically not used up in production," Hu Kailai calculated an account, according to the enterprise's monthly electricity bill of 500,000 yuan, solar photovoltaic panels can save about half of the electricity bill for the enterprise, greatly saving operating costs.

Deway Stainless Steel not only has a green and low-carbon "appearance," but its core is even "greener." Taking the creation of a green and low-carbon factory as an opportunity, Deway Stainless Steel plays a "green march" in the entire industry chain: technical transformation of the original asynchronous motor, saving about 30% of energy per unit; refining product design, reducing the raw material usage per unit product. At present, more than 70% of the production lines of Deway Stainless Steel use energy-saving motors.

During the production process of stainless steel pipes, a lot of wastewater is often produced. How to achieve efficient recycling of industrial wastewater has become a major challenge for Deway Stainless Steel. To meet this challenge, Deway Stainless Steel has established a special wastewater treatment workshop, taking a series of innovative measures such as process optimization and equipment upgrading. At present, about 120 tons of treated wastewater are reused in the enterprise's production process every month, helping the enterprise to reduce costs and increase efficiency with "green energy."
