Cummins' digitalization is more than just making the engine more "smart"

For a long time, digitalization is only a conceptual existence. Everyone just knows that digitalization is the future direction of logistics. However, for Cummins , a century-old company that provides diverse power solutions, it has been working hard for customers in the digital field. . So what is the development of Cummins digital? To this end, Cummins China's car network and digital business general manager Tang Haocheng from a professional perspective.

From the Internet of Vehicles to digital intelligence and linkage is getting stronger

Speaking of Cummins' car network, I have to mention Cummins Tianyuan system. As early as 2011, Cummins Tianyuan was established, specializing in R&D of vehicle networking systems. It has a complete set of advanced teleservice products including C-link, which can collect relevant data from engine electronic control modules and develop customers based on these data. Personalized solution, through the collection of fleet operation data, transparently through the entire operation process, through the comprehensive data analysis of line, load, vehicle configuration and driver driving behavior, determine the key factors affecting variable transportation costs, and propose solutions Program.

The value of Cummins Tianyuan System for “improving the efficiency of fleet management” has also been recognized by many group users in practice. Among them, Hengwei Logistics, namely Hengwei Car Transfer Co., Ltd., is a logistics company specializing in car transportation. Due to the influence of the policy, in May 2018, 200 Dongfeng Tianjin Zhongxin Axis Cars were purchased, equipped with Cummins ISD engines, all equipped with C-link system, which provides driver management, fuel consumption and protection. The vehicle continued to operate efficiently and effectively, and it was obtained when the Chinese truck network reporter interviewed his general manager Chen.

In May 2017, Cummins established the Digital Accelerator Division, and innovation continued to accelerate. Smart terminals were installed through the Internet of Vehicles, and big data analysis was used to provide intelligent solutions for end customers. “Developing to this stage, digitalization does not only include the Internet of Vehicles, but also the digital information circulation within the enterprise. These two integrations are Cummins' data management ideas.” Tang Haocheng, General Manager of Cummins China Automotive Network and Digital Business, accepted Said in the media interview. If it were said that Cummins sold engines, sold engine units, and sold parts, then Cummins would have to evolve a mechanical engine into a smart, networked, intelligent engine. Up to now, the total number of connections in the Chinese market alone has exceeded 250,000.

“However, digitalization is not done by a single company. It requires a supply chain. Although the digital age requires more “soft” things and less strong supply chain awareness, it still needs this. Cooperation. Cummins aims to provide the best digital products in the engine field and become part of the supply chain. For example, is it better to reduce fuel consumption by the engine? What kind of tires are also very important?" In Tang Haocheng's view, Cummins Not only must the engine be more intelligent, but also cooperate with the logistics company to help the end users how to equip the car, what kind of tires to choose, and what kind of cargo platform, etc., and stronger linkage can do the digitalization better. The end user thinks.

Intelligent software system is the main way of digital presentation

"Cummins' digitalization is mainly used in post-market services and operational digitalization. Cummins has a lot of car networking data and internal data, we integrate it into some intelligent software to guide us to continue learning, so that we can internal Operation became a digital operation. Tang Haocheng once again strengthened the digital content of Cummins.

For Cummins, it is not only the time cost, but also the manpower and capital, but in order to better serve the aftermarket, the intelligent software system is its main presentation. To this end, Cummins not only wants to make the power system more intelligent, but also to continuously develop and update the intelligent software APP. E-Cummins is such an APP. It is a guide operation manual developed for how to reduce the stoppage time after the engine fails. Relying on Cummins' proprietary electronic tools and big data platform technology, it aims to provide customers with diagnostic support and other services.

The current logistics industry has competed from supply to efficiency. Tang Haocheng believes that many functions of the future engine will be realized through the Internet of Vehicles. Cummins provides intelligent solutions for users through the power system + intelligent software, relying on the car network to help the team improve operational efficiency, and develop more suitable for customers through big data analysis. And more diverse products. Cummins car networking and digitization can help companies visualize operational data, optimize operating costs, and customize solutions.

Cummins Cummins has been working hard for digitalization

Indeed, the data platform provided by the Internet of Vehicles helps to transform and innovate the business model of logistics while realizing the reverse transmission of market information and demand data. The core goal of digitalization is to enhance the user experience of using Cummins Power products, and provide intelligent solutions through Cummins Power System + intelligent software to help customers enhance product competitiveness, thereby bringing value to end users and providing good digital innovation. The cornerstone, the establishment of a data warehouse, collecting data from various internal channels to form an integrated big data lake. For example, logistics fleets, whether the maintenance service of the engine is punctual, reliable, and most fuel-efficient, has reached the optimization of design standards, need to break through the boundaries of traditional hardware vendors, and integrate the concept of power system + intelligent software solutions. . This is Cummins' current digital results and the goal of continuous efforts.
