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 process 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,
thus achieving a closed loop recycling cycle. Combo
