Looking at the titanium industry, titanium tetrachloride is at the herringbone transfer node of the entire chain. The upstream is titanium ore, rutile, and high titanium slag; the downstream is sponge titanium and titanium materials to the left, and chloride titanium dioxide to the right. Tuduoduo platform, a subsidiary of Guolian Co., Ltd. (603613.SH), has a full industry chain trading operation foundation covering all the above products. At this new historical node, how to give full play to the advantages of the industrial Internet platform and further promote the efficient development of the titanium industry? Become a new topic on the platform.

Following the Xinjiang inspection, the Guolian Co., Ltd. (603613.SH) industrial inspection team packed their bags and set off again!

Liu Zhai, CEO of Tu Duoduo, said: "Xiantao Zhongxing is a pilot smart factory supported by the platform. The production data seen here can be directly transmitted back to the backend of the platform through sensors. The platform provides enterprises with unified supply and marketing of raw materials and products through data analysis. overall plan.”

Hubei Parkson Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as: Hubei Parkson), which is separated by a wall from Xiantao Zhongxing, is a large-scale titanium sponge manufacturer in China. Xiao Daibin, Secretary of the Shahu Party Committee of Xiantao City, said: "Xiantao Zhongxing's titanium tetrachloride products can directly enter the production workshop of Hubei Parkson to further produce titanium products for use in aerospace, military and other fields."

It is understood that Hubei Parkson was established in Xiantao in 2016. Through industrial data analysis, it took a fancy to the advantages of "local materials" for titanium tetrachloride products here. "Our upstream and downstream products can complete transactions on the Tuduoduo platform at the same time. According to market data, we are planning the second phase of production capacity." Lu Pengfei, general manager of Hubei Parkson, said so.During the meeting with Guolian Co., Ltd., Mayor Yu Ke of Xiantao City pointed out that "titanium is an important material in the 'high-precision' industrial science and technology fields such as aerospace and military industry.

Yu Wenhua, member of the Standing Committee of the Xiantao Municipal Party Committee and Minister of the Municipal United Front Work Department, believes: "The construction of industrial parks with the participation of industrial Internet platforms will be more efficient. Tu Duoduo vigorously promotes the construction of smart factories for titanium industry chain enterprises, providing a strong impetus to promote productivity upgrades in this field."

Mr. Liu Quan, Chairman of Guolian Co., Ltd. said: "It is the company's core mission to fully integrate traditional enterprises and jointly promote industrial transformation and upgrading. Through platform SaaS empowerment, smart factories can take root in the titanium industry and deeply participate in the 'Made in China 2025' national strategy." It has become an important value manifestation of the industrial Internet platform."

Data empowerment drives industry optimization and development

Traveling southeast from Xiantao, more than 330 kilometers away, the Industrial Park of Dock Town, Ruichang City, Jiangxi Province is full of life. Here, the factory of Lee & Man Paper (02314), the core supplier of Weduoduo platform under Guolian Co., Ltd., is grand and well-managed. Driven by the concept of vertical development, Jiangxi Zhongchang Titanium Industry's plan was released a year ago with the support of the government. A chloride titanium dioxide factory empowered by the industrial Internet platform is rising here.

Chlorine is the main by-product of paper-making enterprises, and it is also an essential raw material for the production of titanium tetrachloride and chloride-based titanium dioxide. Previously, the chlorine generated by Lee & Man Paper during the production process had to be liquefied and transported long distances to downstream production workshops, and then gasified before it could be put into use. This left huge room for improvement in terms of safety control and circulation costs.

Mr. Zhao Zhongyou, chairman of Xiantao Zhongxing, believes: "Accurate industrial data analysis is an important basis for enterprises to make strategic decisions. The value of industrial Internet platforms represented by Tu Duoduo in the direction of data empowering traditional manufacturing enterprises has become increasingly prominent."

In the exchange with Guolian Group and his delegation, Guo Xiaoyun, Secretary of the Ruichang Municipal Party Committee, pointed out: “With existing advantageous enterprises as the core, we will continue to strengthen the industrial chain through vertical integration construction, which will not only help the standardized management of the park, but also provide The country cultivates global competitiveness in related industries." He believes: "The operating experience of Tu Duoduo and Wei Duoduo under Guolian Co., Ltd. in the titanium industry and paper industry will provide strong support for the in-depth cooperation between Zhongchang Titanium and Lee & Man Paper. "

Shao Yang, member of the Standing Committee of the Ruichang Municipal Party Committee and Minister of the Organization Department, extended a warm welcome to the arrival of Guolian Shares and his delegation. He pointed out: “Vigorously promoting the development of industrial innovation and development is an important part of the municipal party committee and government. As the first industrial Internet stock, Guolian Shares has empowered enterprises. It can also inject strong vitality into the optimization and innovation of local industries.”

Tu Duoduo CEO Liu Zhai said: "In the future, Zhongchang Titanium can realize unified supply and sales based on the Tu Duoduo platform, which provides support for centralized analysis of industrial chain data and empowers companies to optimize production capacity layout, warehousing and logistics configuration, etc."

Deputy Mayor Ke Sujun of Ruichang City pointed out: "The centralized accumulation and analysis of industrial data will also help the government implement safety and environmental protection control more scientifically."

Chairman Liu Quan said: “Relying on platform data accumulation and optimizing the allocation of industrial chain resources is an important mission of Guolian Co., Ltd. in the field of industrial Internet platform construction. I believe that with the strong support of the government, the industrial construction of Ruichang City Pier Town Industrial Park will gain momentum. Innovation advances.”

Open channels to divert water and let advantageous capital water the flowers of industry

"The production capacity of 200,000 tons of chloride titanium dioxide will be built here. While directly digesting the chlorine produced by papermaking, it can also drive the titanium industry to take root in Ruichang City." At the Ruichang Wharf Industrial Park, Ruichang City Deputy Mayor Ke Sujun Pointing to the Jiangxi Zhongchang Titanium Industry production plant that is about to be built, he explained the grand blueprint here to Guolian Group and his party.

Titanium dioxide is an irreplaceable white pigment in the chemical industry. At present, the production process of titanium dioxide is divided into sulfuric acid method and chlorination method. Among them, the chlorination method has advantages in resource recycling and is the main application process in developed countries. At present, due to restrictions on technology, raw material supply, capital support and other conditions, my country's main titanium dioxide production capacity is still dominated by the sulfuric acid process.

"There is no problem with our technology at all. If we can get the support of the capital market, domestic chloride-based titanium dioxide will have a lot to do." said Chairman Zhao Zhongyou of Xiantao Zhongxing, which provides technical support to Zhongchang Titanium Industry.

Ms. Wu Haixia from Galaxy Securities said: "Standardized asset management is an important support for capital market penetration of industries. The in-depth involvement of industrial Internet platforms in the direction of transactions has created conditions for optimizing corporate asset management and also provided opportunities for the efficient entry of market capital. support."

Mr. Wang Tao, founder of Smart Capital, believes: "The chemical industry is a technology-intensive, capital-intensive and policy-intensive complex. All relevant parties working together based on the industrial Internet platform will provide strong momentum for industrial development."

Chairman Liu Quan said: "Empowering industrial innovation and development is an important manifestation of the value of the industrial Internet platform. Based on industrial e-commerce and relying on Internet big data, Guolian actively promotes the deep integration of traditional manufacturing enterprises with the Internet and the Internet of Things . After the company lands on the main board market, it will actively "open channels and divert water" for the industrial chain and further drive outstanding enterprises to achieve efficient development."

"The innovative development of regional industries is inseparable from policy-driven and government-led regional industrial strategic layouts. Enterprise development must integrate multiple advantageous resources and resonate with the national strategy." After three consecutive days of visits and research, the delegation believed: "The efficient linkage between government and enterprises is showing strong explosive power in promoting regional industrial innovation and development." Based on this, Guolian Co., Ltd. will give full play to its leading advantages in the construction of industrial Internet and further stimulate the deep potential of the regional titanium industry through multi-dimensional driving.
