After resting at home for a day, Wu Hao immediately plunged into intense work.

Now their work is focused on two aspects, market and production. Regarding the market, Wu Hao planned to leave it all to Zhang Jun, while he would focus on production and overall management.

Especially now that the launch of this smart AR glasses has been a great success, the market response has been enthusiastic, and demand has surged, so production must be increased.

At present, their company's product production is mainly divided into two aspects, one is the OEM production of various foundries, and the other is the production of their various manufacturing plants.

At present, they have a total of three large-scale intelligent unmanned production factories that have been renovated. They say they are unmanned, but in fact there are still people operating and maintaining them, but only a few of them.

Now these three intelligent unmanned manufacturing factories have all adopted intelligent unmanned transformation, with a very high degree of automation and intelligence. Even during the production process, the entire production line does not require human intervention. Only during each maintenance period, a staff member enters for inspection and maintenance.

Even the current inspection and maintenance work, the relevant technology research and development team plans to hand it over to intelligent robots. Relying on the intelligent robotic arm they developed, they can complete all inspection and maintenance work like humans, saving more time and effort, and saving labor costs in the long run.

Among these three intelligent unmanned manufacturing factories, the Binhe Intelligent Manufacturing Factory in Anxi is the largest. It covers a total area of ​​1,073 acres and has a construction area of ​​514,300 square meters. The factory has a total of eight workshops and 26 workshops. In addition, it also has various warehouses and other infrastructure.

According to the development plan formulated by the production department, the second phase of project expansion will be carried out immediately on this basis. In the future, it will be built into the largest intelligent unmanned comprehensive manufacturing factory in Asia and even the world.

With the Binhe Intelligent Manufacturing Factory put into operation, a considerable number of Wu Hao's products are produced here. And some key core components in products are also produced here, so this factory is particularly important.

For this reason, Wu Hao specially came to check and see how the place was operating.

In fact, through the factory's intelligent management system, he can clearly see the real-time data information of the factory's operation.

But sometimes, you still have to make a trip in person. On the one hand, it is to check it again with your own eyes and understand some things that cannot be understood in data and monitoring.

On the other hand, as the person in charge of the company, his presence in such a place also expresses his emphasis on production.

As with his previous style, this time it was a light vehicle. Jian Cong came to the Binhe Intelligent Manufacturing Factory with only a few accompanying staff and He Jinshan, the deputy director of the production department.

No one was notified of their arrival, which was what he ordered below. The purpose was to catch him by surprise and to check the normal operating conditions of this factory.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the factory, the security personnel at the access control seemed a little surprised when they learned that Wu Hao was coming. The security personnel of the entire factory are directly assigned by the company's security department and are also composed of veterans.

Under normal circumstances, it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the factory. Unless necessary, the factory can apply to the company for approval.

Not long after they came in, the director of the factory and a few people hurriedly greeted them from inside: "Mr. Wu, why didn't you tell us in advance that you were coming so that we could prepare."

"Haha, I'm just here to catch you off guard." Wu Hao smiled happily at the middle-aged man in his mid-thirties.

This man's name is Xu Yang, who is 36 years old. He initially helped He Jinshan to take charge of the project to transform the Binhe Intelligent Manufacturing Factory. After He Jinshan was promoted to deputy director of the company's production department, he succeeded He Jinshan and became the acting director of the Binhe Intelligent Manufacturing Factory.

In fact, it would be okay to directly become the factory director based on his qualifications, but this factory is too important, and everyone is still a little worried about letting such a relatively young person serve as the factory director. So in the end, Wu Hao decided to let him start as acting factory director first, and then replace him if he was no longer suitable.

"No problem, Mr. Wu is welcome to come and inspect the work." Xu Yang said happily.

"Oh, so confident?" Wu Hao glanced at Xu Yang in surprise, then looked at the factory not far away and said, "I came today mainly to take a look at the production situation here.

As you also know, our press conference was very successful this time, and the market responded strongly. Therefore, the demand for our new products has surged significantly, so the output of our new products is particularly important at this time. "

Xu Yang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after finding out Wu Hao's purpose. Someone just came to report that Wu Hao had suddenly arrived. This made Xu Yang and the others panic. They thought something had happened, so they rushed forward panting.

Xu Yang, who breathed a sigh of relief, became more natural and calm. He smiled at Wu Hao and said: "After receiving the news about the surge in related orders, we immediately started multiple production lines to start production. At present, these production lines The production capacity has reached 80%, and it is expected that the production capacity of these production lines will reach saturation by tomorrow afternoon.

And we are still preparing to gradually open other remaining production lines depending on the situation, so that our entire factory can be operated at full capacity. By then, our film production will increase from the current 300,000 units per week to about 800,000 units [Note 1].

If necessary, some production lines can be overloaded, and production capacity is expected to increase by another 20%.

It's just that this causes a lot of damage to the production equipment and can only last for a period of production cycle. Once this production cycle is over, the machine must be shut down for maintenance. "

Wu Hao nodded when he heard this and said, "Unless it's urgent, let's give birth normally."

"We understand." Xu Yang nodded.

"Are there any difficulties now?" Wu Hao asked as he walked into the office building.

Xu Yang hesitated after hearing what he said, and then said to Wu Hao: "Other aspects are easy to say, but there is a shortage of manpower. Especially in the past few days when production has increased, we people have been working almost all day. If this continues If it goes down, everyone may not be able to bear it.

Secondly, in terms of transportation of raw materials and products, there are some difficulties in transportation due to increased production and rapid consumption.

However, we have communicated with the logistics and transportation company in this regard, and they said they will handle it as soon as possible. "

Wu Hao waved his hands when he heard this and said: "Not as soon as possible, but immediately, contact them and let them start solving this problem immediately.

Tell them directly that if they can't meet our logistics and transportation needs, then we will consider replacing them, just say what I said. "
