'World's first' intelligent bogie manufacturing workshop put into production

As the chassis of rolling stock, bogie is the key component to its safety, comfort, orientation and car-body support. The main part of this intelligent manufacture workshop is composed of four plants and eleven sub-production lines covering the whole bogie production process of processing, assembly, welding, painting and logistics etc.

Once inputting order, AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle) will automatically retrieve and transport materials from ASRS to the corresponding work stations. Then automatic production will be conducted by the intelligent following the parameters contained in the QR code. Each time a new QR code is generated for the next procedure until the finished products are stored. No human assistance or intervention is needed throughout the whole process.

The waiting time among production lines of bogie frame, wheel, axle is almost zero. Meanwhile, the intelligent bogie manufacture workshop could perform flexible production in accordance with the variation of tasks. Small-scaled trials and mass production could be conducted simultaneously. It only takes about 20 minutes to produce a wheel.
