SAIC Hongyan: Domestic Zhongwang CAD meets application needs

SAIC Iveco Hongyan Commercial Vehicle Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “SAIC Hongyan”) is a heavy-duty automobile manufacturer jointly invested by SAIC Iveco Commercial Vehicle Investment Co., Ltd. and Chongqing Electromechanical Holding (Group) Co., Ltd., and has invested more than 2 billion yuan. It has built an annual production capacity of 80,000 complete vehicle production bases in the new northern district of Chongqing, and has become one of the most important heavy-duty automobile manufacturing bases in China.

Informatization construction to help SAIC Hongyan improve production and operation efficiency

The main products of SAIC Hongyan are Hongyan brand heavy-duty trucks, covering three series of road vehicles, engineering vehicles and special vehicles. They are mainly used in transportation industries such as long-distance freight transportation, earth-rock transportation, concrete transportation and petroleum hazardous chemicals transportation. Throughout the R&D-production-sales process, internal information processes and external supplier management, including the smooth operation of auto parts suppliers, third-party logistics, dealer networks and service networks, are key to improving efficiency. After 7 years of joint venture construction, the company's entire order delivery process and product development process have achieved information management, which has a significant effect on the improvement of production efficiency: shortened the order confirmation cycle, the supplier's demand cycle, The vehicle delivery cycle has improved the supplier's delivery satisfaction rate and reduced the inventory of the entire vehicle and parts.

In 2011, the relevant IT systems and management innovations were appraised by the China Information Association, and won the "China Automotive Industry Informatization Achievements Enterprise Management Informationization Award". The general manager also won the "China Automotive Industry Informatization Achievements to Promote Automotive Information". "Leading figures" awards.

As the main design tool software in the enterprise, CAD software is also a key link in the construction of information technology. At present, SAIC Hongyan has established a CAD design system: 3D CAD software is used with finite element analysis software such as Hyperworks and ABAQUS, and ADAMS multi-body dynamics analysis software, Furtigue fatigue analysis software, which is mainly used for product design of complete vehicles and parts. The 2D CAD software is mainly used in manufacturing engineering, including the drawing of process drawings, the layout of the process, and the design of fixtures, as well as the procedure for drawing the production and processing center (punching machine).

The data generated by the CAD design system will be integrated with the PDM system in the enterprise, so that the CAD system can be deeply integrated into the entire information system of the enterprise.

Choosing Zhongwang CAD, meeting the needs of use is the key

General introduction of the information department key: In the CAD system of SAIC Hongyan, the three-dimensional aspect mainly uses foreign software, and the two-dimensional aspect is mainly based on domestically produced Zhongwang CAD. When it comes to the original selection, the key indicates that whether it is foreign software or domestic software, what we value most is whether it can meet the actual needs.

Therefore, at the time we first evaluated the use function of Zhongwang CAD and mechanical version. Dozens of engineers from various departments such as technology centers, assembly plants, and welding shops have conducted evaluation tests on Zhongwang CAD. The test scope covers software usability, file format compatibility, running speed, and open save/translation zoom. / Copy and paste and other aspects. The final result shows that the users involved in the test recognize the performance and functional performance of Zhongwang CAD, and believe that Zhongwang CAD can be a good substitute for the use of foreign software, and the software usability is not much different. Designers It can be quickly adapted and adapted; especially for the Zhongwang mechanical module, it gives a positive evaluation: the standard parts library and some characteristic projects, even beyond the foreign software, have greatly improved the original work efficiency.

The spoon always said that through the end user's testing and trial process, the user's doubts about the domestic Zhongwang CAD software were dispelled. Coupled with the outstanding price advantage, we finally decided to choose Zhongwang CAD. With the launch of Zhongwang CAD Mechanical Edition 2012, SAIC Hongyan has undergone continuous upgrades.

Since the cooperation for three years, the current Zhongwang CAD and mechanical version have been smoothly applied to all aspects of the SAIC Hongyan manufacturing project. In the subsequent use, SAIC Hongyan also expressed appreciation for the timely and timely service support provided. The key indicates that, under the premise of meeting the demand for use, the domestic software is preferred, not only can the enterprise itself get more timely local services, but more enterprises choose domestic software, the domestic software will develop faster, and ultimately the users benefit. .

Postscript: At the end of the interview, Key always expressed the expectation of domestic software, hoping to have more solutions in the data reuse of compatible enterprise history CAD and CAPP products, and the development of domestic software in three dimensions. Can fully consider the user's operation, data compatibility and reuse; more expectation to use domestic CAE, CFD and other engineering analysis software in the large soil of China's manufacturing industry.
