+++ 工业 4.0 生产解决方案荣获世界著名奖项 +++ 离散制造类别第一名 +++
慕尼黑/斯太尔。世界著名的工业 4.0 奖由运营咨询公司 ROI-EFESO 颁发，旨在表彰数字化和自动化领域的创新解决方案。在二月初于慕尼黑举行的颁奖典礼上，宝马集团斯泰尔工厂荣获离散制造类别令人垂涎的奖项。
超过 200 个数字化解决方案已投入运行
宝马集团位于施泰尔的奥地利工厂为未来的宝马集团车辆进行电力驱动的研究和生产。多年来，数字化在这里发挥了重要作用，最早于 2018 年推出了第一个人工智能解决方案。如今，该工厂正处于其历史上最大的转型之中，准备生产下一代电力驱动器和内燃机。
斯太尔的数字技能中心是 InnoLab，在这里试验新的应用程序，并将最有益的应用程序投入生产。哪些数字解决方案已经投入使用可以在数字化地图上看到。目前有大约 200 个不同的项目，从简单的数据可视化、跨越多条生产线的复杂人工智能解决方案，到生成式人工智能（例如用于基于人工智能的组件质量控制）。
网络内共享和员工培训是成功的关键
“有效创新背后的关键驱动力——以及我们生产系统的增强——是我们的员工，他们拥有丰富的创造力和经验。一旦智能解决方案成功推出，它很快也会进入其他生产领域以及整个 BMW iFACTORY 网络。”宝马公司发动机生产高级副总裁兼斯太尔工厂总监 Klaus von Moltke 解释道。斯太尔的大多数数字化解决方案都是可扩展的，并且可以以多种方式使用。得益于 BMW iFACTORY 的原则，还具有所需的绝对灵活性、出色的流程和卓越的集成性。所有这一切的一个重要组成部分是数字化的全面性。人、流程和系统之间相互作用的整体方法可确保最佳流程并支持员工的工作。实施以三大战略为基础：数据科学、人工智能 (AI) 和虚拟化。
在宝马集团的转型中，员工培训是关键。举措范围从全厂交互式数据可视化周到为员工提供的 RPA（机器人流程自动化）应用程序，仅举奥地利的两个例子。斯泰尔工厂的下一个亮点将是 Snapp 马拉松，即使是没有编程经验的员工也将在短短几天内学会开发自己的应用程序，以改进其工作领域的流程。
宝马集团斯太尔工厂的高效技术以及 BMW iFACTORY 网络的创新、可扩展解决方案获得认可
“宝马集团斯太尔工厂是工业 4.0 卓越之路的光辉典范，它不仅需要熟练的适应能力，还需要包含风险因素的创新。多年来，斯太尔团队已经建立了一个复杂而高效的技术环境，提供了令人信服的答案，特别是在人工智能的关键领域，提供了本土的、创造性的、可扩展的解决方案，”评审团成员、执行副总裁 Jörg Ulrich 博士说道。 BSH Hausgeräte GmbH 总裁兼欧洲区运营主管代表评审团发言。INDUSTRIE 4.0 评审团由来自全球工业界的 22 名决策者组成。

BMW Group Plant Steyr wins INDUSTRIE 4.0 AWARD
06.02.2024
+++ World famous award for Industry 4.0 solutions in production +++ First in category for Discrete Manufacturing +++
Munich/Steyr. The world famous INDUSTRIE 4.0 AWARDS are presented by the operations consultancy ROI-EFESO recognition of innovative solutions in digitalisation and automation. At the ceremony in early February in Munich, BMW Group Plant Steyr scooped the coveted award in the category for Discrete Manufacturing.
Over 200 digitalisation solutions already in operation
The BMW Group’s Austrian facility in Steyr carries out research and production of e-drives for future BMW Group vehicles. Digitalisation has played a prominent role here for many years, with the first AI solutions introduced as early as 2018. Today the plant is in the midst of the biggest transformation in its history as it gets ready to produce next-generation electric drives alongside combustion engines.
Steyr’s hub for digital skills is the InnoLab, where new applications are trialled and the most beneficial are rolled out in production. Which digital solutions are already on stream can be seen on a digitalisation map. There are currently around 200 different projects, ranging from simple data visualisations, via complex AI solutions that span multiple production lines, through to generative AI, which is used in AI-based quality control of components, for example.
Sharing within the network and employee training are key to success
“The key driver behind effective innovations – and therefore the enhancement of our production systems – is our employees, with their wealth of creativity and experience. Once a smart solution has been successfully rolled out, it soon makes its way into other areas of production too, and across the entire BMW iFACTORY network,” explained Klaus von Moltke, Senior Vice President of Engine Production at BMW AG and Plant Director at Steyr. The majority of digitalisation solutions from Steyr are scalable and can be used in various ways. Thanks to the principles of the BMW iFACTORY, there is also the absolute flexibility, outstanding processes and superlative integrability needed. An important component in all of this is the comprehensiveness of digitalisation. The holistic approach to the interplay between humans, processes and systems ensures optimum processes and supports employees in their work. Implementation is underpinned by three strategic strands: data science, artificial intelligence (AI) and virtualisation.
When it comes to the transformation of the BMW Group, employee training is key. Initiatives range from the plant-wide interactive data visualisation week to RPA (robot process automation) applications for employees, to name just two examples from Austria. The next highlight at Plant Steyr will be the Snapp-a-thon, in which even employees with no prior programming experience will learn to develop their own apps in just a matter of days to improve processes in their area of work.
Recognition for efficient technologies at BMW Group Plant Steyr and creative, scalable solutions for the BMW iFACTORY network
“BMW Group Plant Steyr is a shining example of how Industry 4.0 excellence takes not just skilful adaptation but also innovations that embrace an element of risk. Over the years, the team in Steyr have built up a complex yet highly efficient technology landscape that offers convincing answers, especially in the key field of AI, with a homegrown, creative, scalable solution,” said jury member Dr Jörg Ulrich, Executive Vice President, Head of Operations Region Europe, BSH Hausgeräte GmbH, speaking on behalf of the jury. The INDUSTRIE 4.0 panel of judges comprises 22 decision-makers from industry around the world.
