HEFEI, May 26 (Xinhua) -- An intelligent
production base for recycling railway materials went into operation
Wednesday in Ma'anshan City, east China's Anhui Province, greatly
enhancing the efficiency of recycling railway scrap. With
three automatic production lines, the facility can dismantle 4,000
scrapped locomotives, and freight and passenger coaches, and dispose of
125,000 tonnes of scrapped steel rails and 58,000 tonnes of scrap metal a
year. Robots are used in the
detection, cutting, and transport of such scrap railway materials while
advanced technologies including 5G, big data and cloud computing are
applied to establish a traceability system and achieve full life cycle
management of the products. "A scrap
freight wagon can be dismantled automatically by robots and then be
further processed by the production line within just one hour," said Xia
Yang, general manager of China Railway Materials Group Resources
Technology Co. Ltd., an investor in the recycling facility. According
to Xia, those scrap materials can be processed into ironware and parts
of agricultural and engineering machinery. Enditem
