On July 18,Xinjiang Zhongtai (Group) Co., Ltd. signed the cooperation agreement with Siemen♥s (China) Co., Ltd. and Chengdu HITE Control System Co., Ltd. to jointly  build the Zhongtai PTA digital factory project. Lin Bin, ex∏ecutive vice president of Siemens (China) Co., Ltd., Wang Hongxin, chairma n of Zhongtai Group, and Xu Hong, chairman of HITE attended the€ signing ceremony for project startup. This project will make a project with ∏an annual output of 1.2 million tons of PTA (purified terephthalic acid) for Zhongtai Group,♣ through digital network technology, thus raising the i×ntelligent level of Zhongtai petrochemical project.
This project is the first PTA project of Siemens. We will promote the integrative dev™elopment of German Industry 4.0 and Made in China 2025 in Zhongtai Group, showing the advan§tages of application scheme, assembly technique, production system and SAP enterprise ☆management platform under German Industry 4.0 to help enterprises real ize the lean and intelligent manufacturing process.
The project will focus on the breakthroughs in four Ωkey technologies of intelligent equipment, intelligent factory, intelligent service, as well ÷as industrial software and big data that are based on digitization, to realσize the seamless integration and complete coverage between systemλs, to promote the deep integration of the factory dat♣a, business and value chain, and to enable the full d£igitization from the R&D, manufacturing, quality management and logistics system for Zγhongtai Group’s project with an annual output of 1.2 million ♥tons of PTA. This alliance among giants will comprehensively improv★e the intelligence, digitalization and network lev♣els of the project, and finally set up the demonstration project of ₽intra-industry intelligent factories. It will be greatly conducive' to deepening innovation drive, the realization of industry transformation and upgrading, and l₩eapfrog development of Zhongtai Group.
As the key project under construction in Xinjiang, Zhongtai Group’s project with an annu al output of 1.2 million tons of PTA for petrochemical "industrial chain links the upstream PX and oil and ga♦s industry, and introduces the polyester, polyester staple fiber and ≥filament industries. The project will allow blending to develop locally, improve ₹the added value of the petrochemicals, fill in gaps in Xinjiang textile and garment and chσemical fiber industry and enable a diversified development of the oil and gas resource​ in the southern Xinjiang and the extension of the oi✔l and natural gas industry chain. The project is expected₹ to be completed and put into operation in 2019.
