Building the smart manufacturing facility of the future.

Shanxi Lubao Coking Group is a Sino-foreign joint venture active in the fine chemical, power, logistics, tourism, agriculture, and medical sectors. The group's manufacturing subsidiary is aiming to set a benchmark by creating a new smart manufacturing green factory.

This will include a real-time database, which will visually display previous and current operating conditions, and perform failure analysis and post disturbance reviews to avoid the recurrence of similar accidents. Shanxi Lubao Coking Group will use these insights to automate processes such as coal blending, order management, safety, and energy. To support this ambitious venture, the company chose chose Lenovo ThinkAgile VX7520, a hyperconverged infrastructure, that enables high performance, scalability, and simple management. The group's new smart manufacturing capabilities will increase output, improve safety, and reduce costs.
