Mobile WebSiteKnown as one of the "Seven Wonders of the New World", the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is currently the longest sea-crossing bridge in the world. During the construction of the bridge, scientists and engineers created more than 400 new patents and 7 of the best in the world. Among them, in the lighting link, the cables used for the power supply and distribution of the bridge are as long as 60 kilometers, and have high requirements for load and environmental performance. Both the technical content and the difficulty of fulfilling the contract are extremely strict. It is the Far East Cable Co., Ltd. ("Far East Cable" for short) that accomplishes this task.
Founded in 1985, Far East Cable is a leading wire and cable manufacturer in China with comprehensive strength. It has undertaken key projects such as Beijing Daxing Airport, the Three Gorges Project, the Beijing Olympics Project, and the Shanghai World Financial Center. In the latest China Machinery Industry Top 100 list released by the China Machinery Industry Federation, Far East Cable ranks 11th.
Since 2017, this domestic leading brand in the field of wire and cable entered JD Industrial Products, it has provided professional service capabilities to more corporate customers with the help of JD’s digital channel resources.
Behind the strong service capabilities of Far East Cable is the intelligent production and operation management. Stepping into the intelligent compound workshop of Far East Cable, you can see a piece of equipment, large or small, running at high speed. The equipment such as coiling machine, extruder, and cable forming machine is connected in series by cables to form a wire, twisting and winding. The processes of wrapping, insulation, warm water, rewinding, cable formation, and sheathing are all done in one go.
And under the management of the intelligent production system, from customer initiation of orders, to raw material procurement, to workshop scheduling, out-of-warehouse fulfillment and delivery, the entire process can run in an orderly manner without the need for multiple people to control it. Especially in the order link, Far East Cable cooperated with JD Industrial Products to realize the digital connection with customer needs. The order parameters initiated by the customer can be directly input into the workshop production system, and the intelligent scheduling plan can be programmed in real time to achieve a second-level response to customer needs.
Wires and cables are widely used in factory workshops, construction projects, rail transit and other fields. The diversification of application scenarios also makes the models and specifications of wires and cables extremely diverse. According to the different parameters such as the current capacity of the cable, the cross section, the number of cores, and the insulation material, there are thousands of types of wires and cables, and in many cases they need to be customized according to customer needs. Taking the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge as an example, in order to meet the needs of the engineering party, Far East Cable specially customized a 35KV, 400 square millimeter single-core large-section power cable for it.
Through cooperation with JD Industrial Products, Far East Cable has further popularized this customized service. At present, Far East Cable has integrated the production management system with JD Industrial Products. After corporate customers submit customized requirements for JD Industrial Products, the system will automatically recognize the requirements intelligently and convert them into production parameters. The intelligent production scheduling system will integrate the production parameters of all the scattered orders, and then distribute them to 20 workshops for production after “turning the parts into a whole”. On the one hand, it can greatly improve production efficiency, and on the other hand, it can effectively avoid batch production. Waste of energy and materials. According to statistics, Far East Cable and JD Industrial Products have achieved a second-level response, that is, customers can be included in the intelligent scheduling plan within a few seconds after placing an order, shortening the delivery time from the source.
In addition to customized production, fulfillment delivery is also a key link in wire and cable services. Different from conventional industrial products such as hardware and labor insurance, wires and cables have the dual attributes of "heavy duty" and "precision". Taking the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge as an example, the cable used is 60 kilometers long and requires multiple heavy trucks to transport it. However, the internal structure of the cable is very fine. The insulation layer is only millimeters and micrometers. Once it is damaged during transportation, it will easily induce short-circuit and leakage risks in later applications. Therefore, professional equipment and technical support are required during transportation.
In order to improve the efficiency of performance services, Far East Cable and JD Industrial Products have also achieved a high degree of synergy in service resources. The channel and logistics service system accumulated by Far East Cable in the past will be under the dispatch of JD’s intelligent supply chain decision-making system for industrial products in close coordination with the local service resources of the "Jinggong Gang", and will work together to bring online and offline integration to corporate customers. Professional service experience. The entire performance process will strictly abide by the transportation regulations of Far East Cable, and strictly control the placement of cable delivery reels, forklift loading, crane lifting, reel fixing, reel spacing, reel placement and even rolling direction, etc., to ensure The cable will not be damaged during transportation, which will affect the quality and even delay the construction period.
At present, Far East Cable has deployed JD's omni-channel industrial products, and is also on-line simultaneously on multiple terminals and platforms such as Industrial Product Selection and Jingman Warehouse, providing services to sub-terminal retail store customers and small and medium-sized industrial enterprise customers. Chen Jie, head of Far East Cable E-commerce, said that with the rapid development of China's real economy, especially the acceleration of power grid transformation and the successive construction of UHV projects, the demand for wires and cables is increasing. Far East Cable also hopes that in the future, it will continue to deepen its cooperation with JD Industrial Products, continuously improve its digital service capabilities, and jointly bring higher quality services to corporate customers.
