The first shield machine manufactured by Conch Kawasaki Equipment for Jakarta Metro Project in Indonesia is the first export shield machine in Anhui Province to help the construction of countries along the "the Belt and Road", which demonstrates the strength of high-end equipment Conch Manufacturing.
Focusing on tackling the key problems of green and low-carbon technologies, vigorously developing and applying new environmental protection technologies such as harmless treatment of sludge, fly ash and industrial solid hazardous wastes, and successfully building the first domestic waste co-disposal system in cement kilns in China. At present, the annual co-disposal capacity of solid hazardous wastes in the environmental protection industry exceeds 10 million tons; Build the world's first carbon capture and purification demonstration project with an annual output of 50,000 tons and the world's first carbon dioxide energy storage demonstration project to fill the technical gap in carbon capture and energy storage system equipment; take the lead in applying high-temperature and high-dust SCR denitrification technology to reduce pollutant emissions to the world's leading level; develop smart agriculture projects to build a circular economy industry chain; Vigorously implement alternative fuel technology, build the first biomass alternative fuel project in the domestic industry in Zongyang Conch, and select the 50000 tons/year material alternative fuel demonstration project of Ningguo Plant into the green low-carbon research reserve project of the National Development and Reform Commission.
Focusing on the research and development of high-quality products, Conch Group has always adhered to the business purpose of "highest quality and sincere service", developed nuclear power cement for nuclear power projects, non-magnetic cement for precision instruments and navigation and positioning systems, and other products. It is widely used in world-class representative projects such as the Oakland Bay Bridge in San Francisco and the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Conch brand has ranked among the top 100 of China's top 500 most valuable brands in the "World Brand Laboratory" for five consecutive years. CONCH brand cement products rank first in the world's single cement brand, with a brand value of 91.2 billion yuan in 2024.
02 Insist on management innovation, add new vitality
to development, comprehensively promote all-staff innovation , regard innovation as the key driving force to drive high-quality development and create world-class enterprises, and issue guidance to encourage all-staff innovation. By improving the innovative organizational system, creating innovative platforms, promoting the application of innovative achievements, and increasing innovative incentives, we can further stimulate the innovative vitality and motivation of all employees.
Continuously promote lean management, always adhere to the concept of multi-measures to improve efficiency and cost leadership to promote development, increase investment in comprehensive energy efficiency technology reform, orderly innovation of purchase and sale mode, implement the management idea of "competition in the market, strength in the factory", through long-term practice and exploration. A whole process cost control system based on value management has been established, and the product cost is in the leading level in the industry.
Continuously strengthen the benchmarking management, take the special action of value creation of world-class enterprises as an opportunity, organize a series of management activities of "benchmarking, benchmarking, standard-reaching and bid-creating" in an all-round way, define the benchmarking objects of 14 domestic and foreign leading enterprises, rationally set up 75 benchmarking indicators, diagnose the benchmarking differences in an all-round way, and carry out the benchmarking management in an all-round way. Find gaps, make up for shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses, and promote the management level to a new level.
03 Adhere to the digital transformation, shape the new momentum
of development, vigorously promote the construction of intelligent factories, use 5G, AI, cloud computing and other technologies, integrate and learn from the advanced experience accumulated over the years in cement manufacturing, and build the industry's first full-process intelligent cement manufacturing plant. At present, intelligent manufacturing technology has been promoted and applied in more than 100 internal factories, with production efficiency increased by 21% and annual benefit increased by 1 billion yuan; Through the design and construction of unified standards, the intelligent evolution of production and operation from "manual operation" to "constant speed cruise" to "adaptive cruise" has been realized, the automatic operation rate of production line has been increased to 99.3%, and the efficiency of management and decision-making has been increased by 30%.
Actively build industrial Internet platform, successfully selected as national industry characteristic industrial Internet platform, successively built profile, cement and "double carbon" industry industrial Internet platform, and built conch "Yungong" industrial Internet platform. It is widely used in typical application scenarios such as full-process intelligent factories, digital cement mines and unmanned mine cars. Meanwhile, it has established "Conch Industrial Internet Fund" and "Conch Innovation and Development Investment Fund". At present, it invests abroad through the establishment of sub-funds, focusing on projects with good development prospects in the "Industrial Internet +" ecological platform.
We will make every effort to promote the development of the digital industry, actively lay out the innovation chain along the industrial chain, expand the industrial chain along the innovation chain, and successively incubate digital companies such as information engineering companies, intelligent companies, Haibo companies and Zhongnan Robot companies, so as to further strengthen and expand the main cement industry. It has realized the benign mutual promotion and common development of traditional industry and digital industry.
At present, the cement industry is facing the double test of energy saving, environmental protection and industrial intelligence upgrading. In order to implement the relevant policy requirements and accelerate the green low-carbon transformation and high-quality development of the cement industry, China Cement Network is scheduled for September 23-24. The 14th China Cement Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Technology Exchange Conference and the 6th Intelligent Summit Forum were held in Zibo, Shandong Province. This conference will bring together industry experts, enterprise representatives and many industry stakeholders to gather group wisdom and promote energy-saving, environmental protection and intelligent transformation and upgrading of the cement industry.
