Integrating Party and Government into One Field, Striving for Excellence and Creating Performance
"We conduct daily handover of production line teams in the party building room, which not only enhances the sense of mission and responsibility of party members and all employees, but also enhances the level of independent management of employees, achieving a dual improvement of party building and production and operation." Fang Hua, the secretary of the party branch of the steel rolling workshop of Xianggang's 5-meter wide and thick plate plant, pointed to the room next to the large steel rolling equipment and said.
Entering the party building room located next to the production line, the party affairs public column on the wall contains tables such as the party branch's work plan, party member commitments, monthly lessons and practice, and party member point management, which record in detail the party affairs of the branch every month; In addition, the introduction of the party branch in the steel rolling workshop, the party member responsibility area, and the joint project of the branch secretary are all detailed on the wall.
The most eye-catching achievement is the commitment indicators of the 28 party members of the branch in 2023. The table provides a detailed list of the indicator names, planned values, target values, and world industry advanced levels for each link in the steel rolling production process, corresponding to the personal commitments of workshop secretaries, directors, technicians, engineers, safety officers, and other positions. Each person has their own target values for their efforts.
"This allows party members to play a pioneering and exemplary role in different positions in the workshop, effectively driving the work enthusiasm of other employees, and forming an organic combination of party building and production and operation." Zeng Wenping, the head of the Party and Youth League Work Department of Xianggang Comprehensive Management Department, said that all party branches of Xianggang have formed a fusion of party building work and production and operation work, and party building studios like this can be seen everywhere in Xianggang.
The formation of the party building characteristics of this branch stems from Xianggang's adherence to the party committee work philosophy of "integrating party and government, striving for excellence, and creating performance". This philosophy is derived from Xianggang's continuous innovation and development in inheritance, and is an important guide and fundamental principle for promoting party and government integration and promoting Xianggang's reform and development.

Smart upgrading improves efficiency, technological innovation seeks market share
Looking down at the production line of the steel rolling workshop of Xianggang's 5-meter wide and thick plate factory, the red steel plate can be turned into several millimeters of "thin sheets" after multiple rolling processes. The excess steel plate tailings that are cut off during the rolling process are stored in a centralized manner and transported to the designated area by the overhead crane in the workshop for further "reheating" to become new steel plates.
Surprisingly, there was no driver seen on the moving overhead crane in the high-temperature workshop of the steel rolling production line, only the crane and grabbing equipment that were working on the move; In the intelligent control center of a five meter wide and thick plate factory located 1 kilometer away, the crane operator sits in front of the control panel and remotely controls the crane disk, with videos from multiple angles assisting him in his operations.
As the "nerve center" of the five meter wide and thick plate factory, monitoring and operators here can remotely command multiple processes such as steelmaking, rolling, finished product transportation, and warehousing through the monitoring screen. Peng Dun, the technical director of the intelligent control center, said, "With the construction and use of digital visualization production lines, the production efficiency of the workshop has improved by 20% compared to before, and workers have also moved away from noisy and high-temperature working environments, greatly improving work comfort."
It is understood that in 2016, Xianggang began to vigorously promote the construction of smart factories, with a total of 363 projects approved and a total investment of 760 million yuan. With the idea of "building a digital cloud platform, connecting an industrial Internet private network, improving three data centers, upgrading five management systems, constructing multiple smart production lines, and promoting the implementation of a large number of digital applications", Xianggang aims to improve the level of on-site automation, management digitization, and system intelligence.
Nowadays, a series of innovative application scenarios, such as unmanned overhead cranes, intelligent grading of scrap steel, unmanned slab warehouses, online monitoring of equipment status, and automatic drone inspections, have been successfully used in Xianggang. The labor production efficiency has increased from 838 tons of steel per person per year in 2016 to 1658 tons of steel per person per year by the end of 2022, with economic benefits of over 1 billion yuan and optimized job positions of about 1000 people.

"The 100mm thick anti cracking steel of Xianggang has been certified by classification societies in multiple countries such as the United States, France, and Norway, and its technology has reached the world's top level." The news came as the members of Xianggang's anti cracking steel research and development team were excited. It is understood that since 2023, the new orders and supply of Xianggang's crack prevention steel have been increasing, marking the stability of Xianggang's ability to accept orders and deliver thick crack prevention steel in the domestic first tier.
It is understood that maritime transportation, relying on its advantages of high efficiency and minimal cargo damage, has always been the most widely used method in the international freight industry. With the advancement of globalization, the trend of large-scale ships has already become. According to the requirements of the International Association of Classification Societies, the upper deck structure of ultra large container ships with a carrying capacity of over 10000 TEUs must be made of thick and high-strength steel plates with high crack resistance toughness. Due to the great difficulty in research and development and production of this product, it poses a challenge to the capabilities of global steel enterprises.
In order to overcome the technical difficulties in this field, Xianggang has continuously invested research and development efforts, relying on a series of advanced new technologies and production processes to gradually overcome a series of technical difficulties, achieve new breakthroughs in core indicators, and take the lead in developing 80mm thick EH47BCA1 high crack resistance toughness steel plate in China.
"The high anti cracking toughness and thick steel plates we produce not only provide assurance for the core key materials urgently needed by downstream industries to build high-tech ships, but also provide strong support for the 100% localization of anti cracking steel plates for domestic ultra large container ships. In the future, this product has great potential in overseas markets." said Luo Deng, Secretary of the Party Committee of Xianggang Technology Center. Currently, only a single digit of enterprises worldwide have stable production capacity for 100mm thick high anti cracking toughness steel plates, and Xianggang has become one of them.
With the continuous enrichment of high-end steel products at Xianggang, many products have gradually become "little giants" in the steel subdivision field, providing strong support for enterprises to go out and participate in international competition. Today, the international market share of Xianggang's products is growing gradually, especially the construction of the "the Belt and Road" has brought huge opportunities for Xianggang to go global at a higher level.
