The robotic arms of the production line are constantly dancing, the material transport robots on the ground shuttle back and forth loaded with accessories, and the Ferris wheel-shaped transportation track in the sky automatically transports semi-finished products. -finished to the next process… Visit the Thailand factory of Midea Group’s domestic air conditioning division (below) (called Midea Air Conditioning Thailand Factory), the production line is full of automation, digitalization and ‘intelligence.

Midea’s air conditioning factory in Thailand is Midea Group’s first overseas 5G factory. It is located in Chonburi, Thailand, covering an area of approximately 208,000 square meters and has an overall planned annual production capacity of more than 4 million units. Reportedly, the factory is a fully connected 5G smart factory built by Midea, China Unicom, Huawei and Thai operator AIS, which brings together practical experience in industrial Internet, automation, informatization and logistics Lean.
Asni Vipatawat, director of the enterprise telecommunications technology product department of Thailand’s AIS, said AIS cooperated with China Unicom and Huawei to equip the factory with an exclusive 5G network covering an area of about 160,000 square meters, guaranteeing efficient interconnection of production lines.

“After using the 5G private network, the connection of each production link will be smoother, and the operational efficiency will be improved by 15-20% compared with before.” 5G private network has the characteristics of wide connectivity and low latency. It solves the bottleneck of communication interruptions that exists when using traditional means of communication, makes information transmission smoother, and can transmit millions of production instructions in real time.
It is reported that the Thai factory has also applied 5G+AI visual quality inspection system, through laser sensors, it can identify the shape of parts and locate the position of parts. Once a low quality link is found, the production line will issue one. warning in time, reducing the recovery rate by 75%.

Suparu Chotila, who works in the quality department of the factory, said that with 5G+AI quality inspection technology, quality indicators such as single installation rate and defective product rate can be displayed by entering data, which has improved the time and effort spent before. low precision of manual calculations, effectively improving the traceability of product quality.
Asni said that through this cooperation with Chinese companies, it has gained the experience of applying new 5G technology and will replicate this experience to help more Thai companies with their digital transformation in the future.

Besides applications in the commercial field, Chinese companies such as Huawei have also built digital ecosystems in smart cities, transportation, energy, education and other sectors in Thailand. Waragaon, Chief Technology Officer of Huawei Thailand, said that China’s experience in 5G development has benefited Thailand a lot, and other application scenarios suitable for Thailand will be explored in the future.
