Chapter 277: A Beginner Intelligent Factory
The gift given by Ling Shizhe caused a great repercussion in the capital, and many people who knew the news were indignant and angry.
What, you big capitalist who grew up eating colonial milk dare to say that we are bad students! It seems that this is a resolute end in the fight against the reactionaries, and he must be condemned.
Public opinion in the capital was surging, which could be described as verbal and written criticism of Ling Shizhe, and it also affected the Xinhua branch in Hong Kong, so a letter of protest was handed over to Ling Shizhe.
Holding the letter of protest, Ling Shizhe shook his head and said to Andy, who was far away in Hong Kong. Grove called and asked what heated coverage the Hong Kong leftist newspapers had.
Andy. Grove said: "Two days ago, all the leftist newspapers in Hong Kong were scolding you for the boss, but since yesterday, they have suddenly died down, and there is no report about you in the real and genuine editions, as if nothing happened in the previous two days." At that time, when I saw the leftist newspapers scolding the boss like this, I was organizing forces to prepare to scold back, but they suddenly stopped scolding yesterday, and I didn't know what to do for a while. BOSS, are we going to scold back? ”
"No need, let's scatter the people, there must be something wrong with them, don't care about the left, right, or anything in Hong Kong, just take care of ourselves, understand?" Ling Shizhe replied.
"But if they ...... again"
"They won't," Ling Shizhe interrupted Andy. Grove, "If they come again, give the Hong Kong Times some money and let them go and scold each other, and they are professional in fighting public opinion wars, understand?" ”
"Got the boss, I know what to do." The Hong Kong Times is the official newspaper run by the Taiwan authorities in Hong Kong, and it has fought countless verbal wars with leftist newspapers over the past few decades.
There is a specialization in the art industry, and when it comes to fighting with people who specialize in eating by mouth, Ambrera will definitely not be able to win.
Give some money and let the Hong Kong Times come forward. It's much better than if we were on the horse ourselves.
Hanging up, Ling Shizhe continued his farm vacation.
With Zuo Shaoji, an agricultural expert, the research on the deep processing technology of potatoes has progressed very quickly, in less than a month. Zuo Shaoji has done hundreds of experiments in the laboratory, and these experimental data have laid a solid foundation for industrial preparation.
Looking at the experimental data that is more than one meter high, Christopher said: "BOSS, this data collection should be almost done, we should move on to the next project." Design of a potato noodle production line. ”
Ling Shizhe asked, "Is there any difficulty?" ”
Christopher flipped through the experimental records and said: "The production process of potato noodles, we have seen it many times, we are very familiar with each process, the technical difficulty is not great, we can come up with a sample of the production line in a month, we only need to pay attention to the food hygiene standards in Europe and the United States." ”
"Let's get started." Ling Shizhe decided.
Christopher's team of engineers quickly took action, and it took less than a day for them to fully communicate with Zuo Shaoji's scientific research team. The first draft of the design of the production line came out, and then it took another two days to refine the details, and then the factory started, and the production line samples were sent in quickly.
This experimental production line was put by the third sister in another warehouse called Quanwan Farm, which is an agricultural machinery warehouse, after Ling Shishi bought Quanwan Farm, she disposed of all the agricultural machinery inside, and the vacated warehouse was just used to experiment with the newly developed noodle production line.
The production line is divided into two parts, the first is the potato flour production line. Before Zuo Shaoji came to the farm, Christopher had already designed and started production, almost at the same time as the potato noodle machine.
At the heart of the potato flour line is a 10-tonne water-tube high-temperature steam boiler that burns natural gas, which produces supersaturated steam. The peeled and ground potato puree on the conveyor belt is dried at high temperature through the pipeline, and after the potato puree is dried, it is potato flour.
The potato flour was packed in a bucket, and Ling Shizhe grabbed a handful with his hand, which was dry and delicate, almost like flour. And the production efficiency is also very fast, it seems that there should be no problem with this equipment.
Sure enough, Zuo Shaoji's test results also confirmed that the potato production equipment fully met the requirements.
The next is to test the noodle production equipment, the noodle production equipment is divided into three parts, the first is the mixer, the potato flour and flour are added to the mixer in the ratio of 65% and 35%, and then poured into the automatic kneading machine, the collagen polypeptide powder is added in proportion, the machine automatically kneads the dough, the kneaded dough is sent to the presser, and the potato dough that is 1.5 meters wide and three points thinner than the paper is sent out by the conveyor belt.
In order to cater for the eating habits of Westerners, Cliff Toefl made improvements to the dough generation equipment in the final step of the line, and the dough was made into spaghetti and pasta by means of a grid.
The last moment came, Zuo Shaoji began to do the final inspection of the finished potato noodles, if the test was successful, this set of equipment fully met the requirements; Failure, it means that this set of equipment needs to be improved.
Outside the warehouse, everyone was waiting for the final test results, and the third sister Ling Shishi was constantly walking back and forth left and right, seeing that Ling Shizhe was upset, so she said: "Third sister, sit down, you walk around like this, it will make everyone very nervous." ”
"Old Seven, do you think it will be successful?"
Ling Shizhe said with a smile: "The third sister's production line is just a test product, the first test, failure is normal, it's a big deal to continue to improve; But even if it succeeds, this set of test equipment does not meet the requirements of European and American food production standards, and a standard factory building must be built first. ”
Just as he was saying that, Zuo Shaoji walked out, and the third sister looked at him anxiously, "Professor Zuo, how is it?" ”
"Chairman, don't be so nervous, relax a little, the result is perfect, and you can carry out industrial production." However, there are a few areas that need to be improved. After speaking, Zuo Shaoji handed over the test results and a few things that needed to be modified to Christofo, who was on the side.
Christopher quickly swept it and said to Ling Shizhe: "The production line fully meets the requirements, just change a few small places, and I will add these to the regular production equipment." ”
Hearing that the production equipment met the requirements, the third sister breathed a sigh of relief, for this potato noodles, these days, she has put too much effort into it.
Ling Shizhe walked up to the third sister and said, "Third sister." It's time to consider the site. ”
"I have already chosen the site and built it in Windsor, so it will be very convenient to purchase raw materials." The third sister said.
Ling Shizhe nodded, he also agreed with the third sister's plan. Windsor is a typical agricultural town, surrounded by either farms or pastures, and the factory is built there, not only is it easy to get raw materials, but the location of Windsor Town is also very good. Potato noodles produced near the U.S. border can spread to Canada and the U.S. in the shortest possible time.
The next step is to build a factory, Morrison Construction Company, which has been engaged in the construction of pharmaceutical and food factories for many years and has rich construction experience.
A corner of the town of Windsor has been transformed into a large construction site, with the rumbling sound of piling machines from morning to night, and the factory can process more than 500 tons of potato noodles a day. With an annual production capacity of nearly 200,000 tons of potato noodles, it is a standard large-scale potato noodle production plant.
The food standards of Europe and North America are generally the same, but there are still a lot of differences in the details, the engineers of Ambrera Seiko Equipment Co., Ltd., after carefully studying the food safety standards of Europe and North America, have developed a new set of food production standards for Master Lin Food Co., Ltd., according to the set of production standards, the potato noodles produced can meet the food standards of Europe and the United States at the same time.
Of course, the production line will also be changed accordingly.
The food standards in Europe and the United States are much stricter than those in China, which also makes the construction cost of the factory and the manufacturing cost of the equipment much higher. The total investment is up to $200 million.
With such a big investment, Ling Shishi naturally didn't dare to be sloppy, her husband Huang Derong ate and lived on the construction site every day, not to mention the hard work.
It will take one year for the factory to be completed and put into operation, and it will be half a year before it can be fully produced. But the recruitment has begun, and from the management to the workers, the third sister has recruited a total of one hundred and fifty people.
Christopher designed this production line is very advanced, the whole production process is fully automated, there are not many workers at all, 150 workers are completely enough.
This production line has incorporated many advanced production concepts from later generations. Not only the production is automated, but the whole factory is also digital, from personnel files, financial management, raw material procurement, product production, to product warehousing and final sales, the whole process is digital, the most eye-catching, the entire production line is connected to a communication cable straight to Raccoon Town.
This is Ambrera's contact with the Canadian National Telecom, which is naturally the masterpiece of Ling Shizhe, who leased a private line from Telecom to realize the most primitive Internet of Things of this era between factories.
In this way, Ambrera's engineers, who are 100 kilometers away, can monitor the entire process of the noodle production equipment.
A network cable, one end is connected to the equipment production plant, the other end is connected to the noodle production factory, through the communication cable buried in the ground, all the data of the noodle production line are clearly displayed on the computer screen, Ambrella's equipment maintenance personnel, every day only need to sit in front of the computer, check on time, can know whether the noodle production equipment is running normally 100 kilometers away.
If there is an abnormality, it can be clearly displayed on the computer screen, and the workers of the noodle factory have not noticed the problem, Ambrera's maintenance personnel can find it before them, and then discharge the maintenance personnel to check and deal with it, and even the maintenance personnel do not need to be dispatched, and the problematic equipment can be repaired through remote control.
This is called the intelligence of the factory, its biggest benefit is through the network to the customer to purchase the production equipment for long-distance real-time monitoring, through this monitoring, to the greatest extent to eliminate the fault in the bud, to achieve the factory throughout the year without stopping production, for customers to save unnecessary equipment maintenance costs.
Before the Internet of Things was implemented, the plant had to shut down equipment every year for maintenance. Overhaul will stop production, stop production for a day, enterprises will suffer huge losses, and some of the overhaul is unnecessary, but in order to ensure safe production, the factory has to stop the production line, and then resume work after the overhaul.
But with the Internet of Things, these unnecessary expenses can be saved, and the factory does not have to shut down every year to suffer economic losses.
Of course, regular daily maintenance is also indispensable, and these means are to ensure the normal and stable operation of production equipment to the greatest extent.
It's a pity that this epoch-making factory, the workers can't see it for the time being, and they have to wait until a year later, when the factory is completed and put into operation, they can feel the charm of the intelligent factory.
As soon as the factory was built, Ling Shizhe said goodbye to the third sister's family, and before getting into the car, the third sister pulled Ling Shizhe and said: "Old Seven, what kind of intelligent factory are you reliable?" ”
"Rest assured third sister, this system is very reliable, you must know that my factory has begun to use this technology as early as two years ago, more than two years of trial and error, this system has become very perfect and reliable, there is no problem at all, I am responsible for the problem, you should rest assured, right?"
Ling Shishi chirped: "I don't have to worry about P, I am here as your testing ground, what strange things, all the strange things are first done on my farm for experiments, all kinds of situations are frequent, what kind of strange things are there, and when I mature, I will become a model here, and become your best sales advertisement." Tell you, this won't work, if it happens like before, you'll pull all the equipment away. ”
"Third sister, my good third sister," Ling Shizhe said cutely: "You are my third sister, of course you have to help my younger brother." Rest assured, this system has begun to be used in my factory, the effect of use is very good, at the beginning of next year, all my factories are equipped with this remote intelligent monitoring system, if the system does not work, do I dare to do this? ”
Hearing Ling Shizhe say this, Ling Shishi reluctantly gave up, but she was scared by Ling Shizhe, every time he came to the ranch, there was nothing good, either to install such equipment for you, or to press what kind of equipment for you, and these equipment were immature experiments, and there were frequent failures, which made her startled three times a day.
But don't say it, these weird things at the beginning, although they are constantly in various situations, but after continuous improvement and refinement, it is indeed much easier than before, and the cost and efficiency will be greatly improved.
However, the noodle factory is all Ling Shishi's hard work, once there is a situation, she can't afford to lose, so she asked Ling Shizhe for a guarantee before leaving, as long as she has this guarantee, she Ling Shishi is not afraid of anything, he loves this factory and tosses it as much as he wants, anyway, he will bear the loss.
This is also something that cannot be helped, any new thing will have such and such problems when it first appears, so it is necessary to find a guinea pig to do experiments, and Ling Shishi is his best guinea pig.
But then again, not everything can be pulled to Ling Shishi, after all, she runs a ranch instead of a factory, so in addition to the third sister Ling Shishi, a guinea pig, Ling Shizhe has built another experimental production factory in Canada to test the new equipment produced by Ambrera.
This one, which only appeared in the later era of the Internet of Things, was repeatedly tested in the pilot plant for two years, and it was only recently that it was completed.
After the success of the system, the first thing he thought of was that Ling Shishi had just started the construction of this noodle processing enterprise with an investment of up to 200 million US dollars, which not only had a return for the support of the third sister for so many years, but also meant to treat her as a guinea pig, after all, the headquarters of Ambrera in the experimental factory is very close, and the factory remote data monitoring system is no problem within a short distance, but what about long-distance data monitoring? After such a long-distance transmission, whether the data can be kept authentic, Ling Shizhe doesn't know.
You must know that the transmission distance of the data is long, and errors will inevitably occur, so you have to take the third sister's factory to do another experiment.
Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, Ling Shizhe will also build a monitoring room in the noodle factory to make regular comparisons of the data obtained from the two places, so that Ling Shizhe can know whether there is any error after the data is transmitted over a long distance, how much is the error, and how big is the error? Is it within an acceptable range, and if it exceeds this range, what measures should be taken to correct it, so that we can take timely countermeasures to minimize the loss. (To be continued.) )
