Recently, the Zhengzhou “Zero Waste City” Construction Office issued the “Notice on the Announcement of the List of “Zero Waste Cells” in Zhengzhou City in 2024″. Henan Chicheng Electric Co., Ltd. won the title of “Zero Waste Factory” in Zhengzhou City for its outstanding performance in ecological civilization construction, green transformation, and high-quality development. This honor is not only an affirmation of Chicheng Electric’s efforts in reducing solid waste emissions, resource utilization, and harmless treatment, but also a recognition of its contribution to promoting the construction of “Zero Waste City” in Zhengzhou City.
What is a “Zero Waste Factory”?
“Zero Waste Factory” is guided by the requirements of the National “Zero Waste City Construction Work Plan during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period”, follows the principles of reduction, resource utilization, and harmlessness, promotes the formation of green production methods, reduces the intensity of solid waste generation, improves the level of solid waste resource utilization, and jointly promotes carbon reduction and pollution reduction, implements standardized management of solid waste, and effectively prevents and controls environmental risks. Industrial production organization mode and development model.
As a national high-tech enterprise, a national specialized “little giant” enterprise, and a quality benchmark enterprise in Henan Province, Chicheng Electric has always adhered to the mission of “making users feel at ease, satisfying employees, and creating a benchmark enterprise for gas environment safety” since its establishment 21 years ago. It is committed to the research and development, production and sales of gas environment safety monitoring products. Its main products are intelligent instruments, alarm control systems and supporting equipment, intelligent sensors, etc. in the field of gas environment safety monitoring. They are mainly used in many industrial fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, gas, metallurgy, electricity, medicine, food, and urban public places, household civil use, underground integrated pipe corridors, etc.
Intelligent manufacturing creates a new green production ecology
In the context of the “dual carbon” goal and the construction of a “zero-waste city”, Chicheng Electric actively responds to the national call and takes green transformation as an important strategic direction for corporate development. The company starts from multiple links such as source design, green manufacturing, and solid waste management to comprehensively promote the reduction, resource utilization and harmless treatment of solid waste. As a provider of gas environment safety products and system solutions, Chicheng Electric has two major production bases in Zhengzhou and Xuchang, covering an area of nearly 60,000 square meters, with 4 independent factories, 2 standardized production workshops, and 8 intelligent production lines. Automated production scenes can be seen everywhere: in the SMT production workshop, two German Siemens SMT automatic placement equipment and plug-in production lines can complete 60,000 to 80,000 solder joints per hour, realize automatic feeding, automatic printing, AOI automatic detection… The automatic assembly production line of home alarms produces an average of one standardized product every 6 seconds…
Intelligent manufacturing, green development. Through the integrated application of advanced systems such as PLM, ERP, and MES, Chicheng Electric has built a smart framework for full-process information management and control, forming a full-industry chain development trend from gas sensors to intelligent instruments and meters, and then to the construction and application of the Internet of Things smart cloud platform! At the same time, Chicheng Electric also implements lean management, lean R&D, lean production and other systems, and comprehensively controls raw materials, personnel, facilities and equipment, production processes, packaging and transportation, quality control, etc., to create a modern, visual, and standardized workshop that meets the 5S standard and achieves internal green development.
Digital intelligence empowers the construction of a new “waste-free” model for sustainable development
Chicheng Electric deeply practices the “waste-free concept” and promotes the construction of a new waste-free model for sustainable development in multiple dimensions. Based on source control, environmentally friendly materials are used to optimize production processes and reduce waste generation in the production process. By equipping with advanced mobile welding fume purifiers, every trace of fume is accurately captured and quickly purified to keep the air in the workshop fresh at all times. At the same time, forced ventilation measures are also adopted in the workshop to accelerate air circulation, create a healthy and comfortable working environment for workers, and truly realize “green production, health escort”. The waste gas generated in the production and testing process is also properly handled. Chicheng Electric uses fume hoods to collect waste gas, and then uses UV light oxygen and activated carbon adsorption devices for dual purification, so that harmful substances in the waste gas have nowhere to hide, and are discharged into the atmosphere after meeting the standards. In terms of hazardous solid waste management, Chicheng Electric is even more prepared. As a hazardous solid waste, the company has customized the “Hazardous Waste Management System” for waste circuit boards (PCBA) and set up special storage points to store hazardous waste. At the same time, professional institutions are commissioned to treat hazardous waste harmlessly to ensure that waste does not pollute the environment.
Digital empowerment helps “waste-free” construction. In order to ensure that the management of hazardous solid waste is traceable and controllable throughout the process, Chicheng Electric uses the “Solid Waste Pollution Prevention and Control Internet of Things Supervision System” to register the entry and exit of hazardous solid waste. Every entry and exit operation is like leaving a clear “footprint” in the system, making the flow of hazardous solid waste clear at a glance. This series of efficient and scientific processing processes not only reflects Chicheng Electric’s responsibility for environmental protection, but also demonstrates the powerful power of intelligent manufacturing in green production.
This time, the title of “Waste-Free Factory” in Zhengzhou City is an important step taken by Chicheng Electric on the road of green transformation and high-quality development. The company will continue to uphold the values of “integrity, endeavor, and win-win”, adhere to the concept of green development, increase investment in environmental protection, and continuously explore new technologies and methods for solid waste reduction, resource utilization and harmless treatment.
In the future, Chicheng Electric will continue to leverage its own advantages and actively build a “garden-style” factory to make greater contributions to promoting the construction of a “zero-waste city” in Zhengzhou and the construction of ecological civilization in my country.
