On May 8th, as a BMW i5 in Frozen Pure Grey rolled off the assembly line at Plant Dadong, Shenyang, Liaoning Province, BMW Brilliance Automotive officially reached a new significant milestone of its 6 millionth car. Thanks to 20 years of excellence in delivering reliable and premium cars to the Chinese market, BMW Brilliance Automotive has achieved a new level of steady development.
“Continued innovation is one of the core competencies of BMW high-quality development. By leveraging leading manufacturing concepts, production systems, and processes, we will continue to deliver benchmark premium quality to customers globally.” said Dr. Milan Nedeljković, member of the board of management of BMW AG, Production.
The BMW Brilliance Shenyang Production Base is not only the largest single base of the BMW Group worldwide, but also an industry-leading smart manufacturing production facility. It exemplifies world-leading production processes, upholding rigorous quality standards that redefine industry benchmark. AI and digital technologies are extensively used and nearly 100 AI applications have been actively deployed. AI is instrumental in elevating the standard of quality control and consistency, facilitating real-time process monitoring and instantaneous data analysis.
The BMW Brilliance Plant Dadong, the birthplace of the all-new BMW 5 Series long-wheelbase, utilizes an industry-first AI-aided smart quality inspection system to monitor components production quality in the press shop. The “tireless” AI-aided smart quality inspection system, independently developed by BMW, can inspect every component on the production line and complete the analysis of a single photo in just 0.01 seconds. With continuous improvements, its inspection accuracy approaches nearly 100%. Even the tiny gaps invisible to the naked eye can be found, ensuring the optimal components for subsequent production stages.
The BMW i5 that rolled off features with a new Frozen Pure Grey paint, which will be available as an individual paint option in May. The delicate and high-class texture of the frozen paint gives the car an exquisite high-fashion look under light.
