Weichai Power, a global power giant, recently officially launched its intelligent manufacturing upgrade achievement - the engine full business domain intelligent spare parts customization system. This system is based on an enterprise million level product database, and through industrial big data analysis and AI algorithms, it can achieve intelligent demand forecasting and personalized customization services for more than 3000 types of diesel engine order numbers and 10000+types of components worldwide.
According to the introduction of Weichai technical team, the platform relies on the WP9/WP10 flexible mixed line production line transformation project, and enables the production line to have real-time adaptive capability by embedding intelligent chips and edge computing equipment. The customer only needs to input the device model, operating parameters, and historical maintenance records, and the system can generate a customized spare parts package that includes alternative solutions, warranty periods, and installation guidance. The project leader stated that this feature has helped a large marine diesel engine customer increase spare parts inventory turnover by 45% and shorten fault response time to less than 2 hours.
Industry impact: The introduction of this system marks the transformation of diesel engine spare parts service from "passive maintenance" to "active prediction", especially for complex working conditions along the "the Belt and Road". Data shows that devices equipped with intelligent customization services can reduce their full lifecycle costs by 18% -22%.
