With the continuous efforts of major brands, the trend of high-end pure electric vehicles is obvious. In the process of "qualitative change" to the high end, many people focus on "intelligence", but ignore the core "manufacturing" of making cars. However, the high-end intelligent manufacturing base of BAIC Blue Valley Magna, which was opened to the media on February 22-24 of 12, showed the "intelligent manufacturing" strength of Extreme Fox.

Left-handed, non-negotiable quality is preferred.

"Only qualified and unqualified quality", the slogan hanging in the workshop of BAIC Blue Valley Magna high-end intelligent manufacturing base, conveys its "zero tolerance" values to the outside world. As Magna's first vehicle manufacturing plant outside Europe, it is also Magna's first joint venture high-end intellectual manufacturing base in Asia. BAIC Blue Valley Magna's high-end intelligent manufacturing base started from the world.

"World-class" is not only a busy mechanical arm and a highly automated production line, but also a hidden standard upgrade, system reshaping and thinking subversion, which deserves more attention.

Let's look at a set of cases.

Extreme Fox's unique steel-aluminum hybrid body needs the most advanced riveting method in the industry, that is, SPR locking riveting /FDS flow drilling screws, while the professional SPR/FDS riveting gun costs more than 500,000 yuan, and at the same time, it needs to carry out anatomical tests on each connection point, which is expensive. It can be said that there are nearly 4000 connection points on Alpha S and Alpha T cars, each of which is valuable, but these "non-negotiable" operation methods.

In the stamping workshop, BAIC Blue Valley Magna High-end Intelligent Manufacturing Base uses the special flexible sand net for high-end vehicles to detect the invisible and intangible protrusions on the surface of stamping parts, and exposes the defects. In the painting workshop, in order to prevent dust and particles from affecting the paint quality, the body-in-white of polar fox should be thoroughly cleaned before painting, and the cleanliness of 4g body-in-white is far better than the industry's 5.8g.

For the traceability of some important parts, domestic automobile factories pay more attention to laws and regulations. Generally speaking, there are more than 20 parts that need to be traced for a model, but according to Magna's standards, BAIC Blue Valley Magna's high-end intelligent manufacturing base has turned this number six to eight times.

World-class manufacturing brings not only high standards and strict requirements, but also an online "super brain". There are more than a dozen experts in the stamping, body, painting and assembly workshops of BAIC Blue Valley Magna high-end intelligent manufacturing base, which mainly solve the problems of system, quality, efficiency and cost. In addition, under the epidemic situation, the base established a background through virtual meetings and other forms, and any problems arising from planning to production can be connected with the Graz factory in real time, forming a real "sister factory".

Every road you walk will leave a mark. "Non-negotiable" manufacturing has laid a solid foundation for the brand growth of Polar Fox. As Ji Guowei, Party Secretary and General Manager of BAIC Blue Valley Magna, said, "After the products of Polar Fox are listed, the quality of the whole vehicle is very good, which is the value of our base."

Right-handed intelligence, more intelligent driving with a sense of temperature

While welcoming the media to visit, a news also happened in the high-end intelligent manufacturing base of BAIC Blue Valley Magna, which attracted the attention of the industry. 65438+On February 20th, the new HI version of Alfa S, the world's first production car supporting high-level intelligent driving on urban roads, was delivered internally at BAIC Blue Valley Magna high-end intelligent manufacturing base, which means that high-level intelligent driving is coming from dream delivery.

No one can change the direction of the trend. Intelligentization has always been an unavoidable topic for automobile enterprises. However, unlike the cool and intelligent display methods of many brands, the intelligence of polar fox gives people a strong sense of "practicality".

Perhaps this is related to the rare intelligent driving calibration platform in the factory. In the assembly workshop of BAIC Blue Valley Magna high-end intelligent manufacturing base, there is not only a L2.5-level driving assistance calibration platform, but also the only L4-level intelligent driving calibration platform in the world that integrates all sensor/gyroscope calibration capabilities on the market. For L4 intelligent driving, the industry generally pays attention to laser radar, millimeter wave radar, multi-function camera and algorithms with AI function, but the basic part of realizing these functions is to give benchmarks to sensors to ensure more accurate intelligent driving function. The L4 intelligent driving calibration platform covered with room mosaics can use more than 1400 specially processed feature points to calibrate lidar, millimeter wave radar, camera and inertial navigation instrument comprehensively at the same time, so that the vehicle has three-dimensional perception ability.

Maybe it has something to do with the intelligence of temperature. In the eyes of Duan, product director of Extreme Fox Alpha S, intelligence is changing from "solving functional requirements with configuration" to "satisfying user experience with pleasant operation", which is the direction of Extreme Fox's efforts. Taking the intelligent cockpit as an example, polar fox pays more attention to the needs of users in various scenarios and promotes the development and transformation of smart cars with initiative. When there is fog, turn on the fog light actively, so that users don't have to be distracted; When the battery is running out, take the initiative to remind the driver to charge, prompting the location of the nearest charging station, so that the driver does not have to look for it manually. In short, this is a way for cars to help users solve problems more actively through the initiative of hardware.

Magna's rich experience in building cars, the smart investment of Huawei and other technology companies, and the ultimate pursuit of Focus cars have formed a polymerization effect. "Our products have not only been recognized by authoritative organizations and the media, but also gained more and more fans." Wang, deputy general manager of Beiqi New Energy and vice president of Extreme Fox Automobile, said that 202 1 was a year of real foundation laying and full harvest. This year is only the first year for Fox to face the market, and its "intellectual creation" makes the future of independent high-end pure electricity more imaginative.
