The electrolytic aluminum intelligent manufacturing 5G factory of Baotou Aluminum Co made the list of 2025 5G Factories recently announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

The fully connected 5G factory is a result of the integration of new-generation information and communications technology with industrial production. It improves production efficiency, reduces operating costs, and optimizes management models for enterprises. It also provides a replicable and practical model for the digital transformation of the industry, which plays an important role in accelerating the high-end, intelligent, and green development of the manufacturing industry.

In the construction process, Baotou Aluminum Co created a 5G industrial Internet architecture based on the production characteristics of the electrolytic aluminum industry to achieve seamless coverage of the whole 5G network in the factory area.

By automating, digitizing, and optimizing the entire process of production, operation, and management, the company has achieved dynamic monitoring of production factors, precise control of production processes, and scientific and efficient management decisions, laying a solid foundation for subsequent intelligent construction and providing a sample for 5G applications in the non-ferrous metal industry.

The Baotou municipal bureau of industry and information technology will increase support for the application of 5G and other new-generation information technologies in the industrial field, improve supporting policies and measures, deepen the integration of industrial Internet and the real economy, and accelerate the cultivation of digital transformation service providers, providing strong support for the development of a modern industrial system.
