“This new plant interprets the industry’s leading production technologies and forward-looking industrial 4.0 applications, marking an important upgrade in the manufacturing level of the Chinese automotive industry. Our shareholders will continue to cooperate sincerely, and more actively to seize the opportunity to layout the future And strive for greater success," said Wu Xiaoan, chairman of BMW Brilliance Automotive.
The new BMW 5 Series Li officially went offline
Innovative production process based on energy saving, environmental protection and high efficiency
The new Dadong plant has complete production processes and supporting facilities such as stamping, bodywork, painting, and final assembly. Each major production process adopts cutting-edge equipment and digital management to meet the sophisticated and complex production needs of the new BMW 5 Series Li, while saving energy. Environmental protection has reached a higher level and the new plant has achieved an overall energy saving of over 30%.
The advanced 6-sequence servo 10,000-ton press can comfortably deal with aluminum sheet precision stamping and other difficult operations, and has features such as low energy consumption and low noise. Compared with traditional hydraulic presses, it can save energy by 44% and reduce noise by 12 decibels. The body shop adopts fully integrated automation technology, equipped with 856 robots, with an automation rate of more than 95%; and up to 18 body connection technologies, including aluminum plate laser welding, the world's first arc welding arc welding technology and the first high-speed use in China. Hot melt tapping screw technology.
The paint shop uses an integrated spray process. The three-stage cooling oven technology can achieve precise temperature control, effectively overcome the different thermal expansion and contraction effects of steel and aluminum materials, and ensure accurate body dimensions. Innovative primer technology eliminates intermediate paint and drying processes. The RoDip rotary dip coating device enables the body to rotate and greatly reduce the space occupied by the equipment. Overall, the new paint shop can save 37% energy compared with the original facilities of the Dadong Plant, saving energy and saving energy compared with the technology of the past ten years. Water reaches 60% and chemical emissions are reduced by 80%.
The plant of the new factory maximizes the use of natural daylight and uses wall insulation and smart lighting to enhance environmental protection. Only natural lighting can save 220,000 kWh per year. The factory also uses a large number of highly efficient variable frequency motors, and the circulating water system adopts a dry separation system, which effectively reduces energy consumption. The water cycle utilization rate of the rain test section of the assembly shop can reach 90%.
Adhering to Localization Strategy to Help BMW Speed ​​up Development in China
The Brilliance BMW Tiexi plant was opened five years ago. In 2016, the only powertrain factory outside Germany that owns the foundry was built. Today, the establishment of a benchmark smart factory fully reflects the long-term commitment and confidence of the shareholders in the Chinese market. In the past seven years alone, BMW Brilliance has invested more than RMB 36 billion in its Shenyang production base.
The Brilliance BMW Tiexi and Dadong two automakers are benchmarks in terms of production efficiency, production quality, production flexibility and sustainable development, and can both achieve flexible and collinear production of traditional energy vehicles and new energy vehicles. It lays the foundation for new products and highly personalized production. There are currently five BMW models introduced in China, of which the BMW 1 Series sports sedan, the BMW 2 Series wagon, the BMW X1 and the BMW 3 series are produced at the Tiexi factory.
In 2017, BMW Brilliance will build a high-voltage power battery assembly line at the Tiexi Power Plant, and the R&D center will be put into use in the second phase. At present, BMW Brilliance is producing two plug-in hybrid models and covers the whole industry chain from battery development, charging network construction, to battery recycling. In the future, BMW Brilliance will continue to strengthen the R&D, production and industrial cooperation of new energy products.
BMW Brilliance has made profound achievements and is now opening a new course of localization development, leading the revolution in the automotive industry, continuing to demonstrate and leading the implementation of the “Made in China 2025†strategy.

Practice "Made in China 2025" BMW Brilliance "take the lead"
As the newest member of the BMW Group's global production system, the Brilliance New Dadong Plant of BMW Brilliance has applied the “Industry 4.0†design concept at the beginning of its design, adopting advanced production equipment and highly digital production methods for innovation and sustainable production. Set a new model.
The new factory's production system builds a digital model through computer 3D simulation technology called "digital twins," which not only makes production line debugging more efficient, but also helps to achieve more precise production operations. For example, aluminum stamping is more than 3 times more complex than steel, but after accurate calculation of parameters such as aluminum plate stamping resilience through a digital model, the molding accuracy reaches 0.02 mm; again, the body shop automation rate is as high as 95%, digital virtual commissioning allows Robot production efficiency and production quality have been further optimized.
Big data applications are implemented throughout the entire production process. With the digital identification system, each part of the new BMW 5 Series Li and each job of each machine can be tracked and analyzed. Based on this “Internet of Things†architecture, production efficiency is improved, and advanced equipment is complemented by automated big data monitoring and analysis, which allows the production line to be more efficient in quality management.
Each point on the new BMW 5 Series Li body can be compared with the digital model. The laser scanner can scan 20,000 points per second on the body to ensure the three-dimensional accuracy of the body. The accumulation and self-learning of the big data system are also applied to the coating. The assembly process and assembly line, for example, each bolt tightening data is recorded and monitored so that any problems are resolved before they occur, making the production quality even more perfect.
Industrial 4.0 Applications - Mechanical Exoskeletons (without seats)
In addition, 3D printing and smart wearable devices are also used in the new Dadong factory. The new factory uses 3D printing thumb protection sleeves and sunroof adjustment fixtures to shorten the development cycle of small-volume, custom chemical installation fixtures. Front-line employees can obtain accurate production information and instant messaging through smart terminals. The mechanical exoskeleton of the assembly shop can provide physical support to employees who need heavy physical exercise to help them reduce labor intensity and increase productivity.
