In Tongling, Anhui—a city thriving on copper—Wuhu Heavy Industry's intelligent slow cooling crane, developed independently, has officially been deployed in the core slow cooling field of Tongling Nonferrous Metals Group's Jinguang Copper Industry project. This cutting-edge technology from the lifting industry is integrated into traditional metallurgical scenarios, delivering Tongling Nonferrous Metals a benchmark solution characterized by "minimal staffing, intelligent decision-making, and ultimate safety.".

Essential safety: From experience-based to system-reliant

In the metallurgical industry, crane operations are conducted in complex environments with high risks. The equipment delivered by Weihua this time addresses this pain point at its foundational level by codifying the industry's well-established "Ten No-Lift Rules" into the system's underlying code, endowing the equipment with an "innate ability to avoid errors.".

With a dual-motor redundant design and millisecond-level dynamic alignment technology, it operates smoothly, automatically locking during winds above level six and prohibiting startup under low voltage, forming a comprehensive all-weather active defense system.

Since the project's commissioning, over 90% of potential safety hazards have been mitigated, achieving a fundamental shift from "human defense" to "technical defense" in safety.

Swarm Intelligence: From Individual Combat to Three-Machine Coordination

Traditional crane operations follow an "isolated" single-machine model, where collaboration between equipment relies on walkie-talkie communication, resulting not only in high coordination costs but also significant production rhythm wastage.

Weihua AICrane system endows equipment with a "global perspective," breaking the traditional "island-style" operational constraints. The project pioneered a three-machine cluster scheduling system, enabling automatic environmental sensing, optimal path planning, task distribution, and seamless coordination among the three machines.

Field tests of the project operation showed that the transfer time of steel ladles was reduced by nearly one-third, providing a "double insurance" for the efficient flow of high-temperature molten metal.

Digital Operations and Maintenance: From Reactive Repairs to Proactive Maintenance

The value of equipment lies not only in its usability but also in its ease of maintenance. Supported by a digital operation and maintenance platform, the status of devices is visible in real time, with precise fault warnings provided in advance.

Weihua innovatively established a standardized parameter backup and IP matching mechanism, reducing the time required for spare part replacement and debugging from 4 hours to just 30 minutes. This significantly cuts the average fault repair time by 40% and lowers the full lifecycle operation and maintenance costs by 25%, effectively ensuring production continuity through "rapid and minimal repairs.".

Strength speaks for itself, and we march forward without pause. In the future, Weihua will continue to deepen its commitment to intelligent manufacturing, leveraging more advanced technology, more reliable quality, and superior service to support enterprises in their digital transformation journey, making the "Made in China" arm even smarter and stronger!
