2018-09-11

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 9 (Reporter Han Qiao, Quan Xiaoshu) - Apple Inc. recently announced a partnership with Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co., Ltd. to invest in wind power projects in four provinces in China. This will add 285 megawatts of clean energy to the Chinese power grid. Lisa Jackson, Apple's Vice President of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives, stated that this is Apple's first investment in wind power and also its largest clean energy investment globally. According to a previous announcement by Goldwind, its wholly-owned subsidiary Beijing Tianrun plans to transfer projects in four provinces: Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, and Yunnan.

On December 9, Xinhua News Agency reported from Beijing (Reporter Han Qiao, Quan Xiaoshu) that Apple Inc. recently announced a partnership with Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co., Ltd. to invest in wind power projects in four provinces in China. This will add 285 megawatts of clean energy to the Chinese power grid.

Lisa Jackson, Apple's Vice President of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives, stated that this is Apple's first investment in the wind power sector and also its largest clean energy investment globally.

According to a previous announcement from Goldwind, its wholly-owned subsidiary Beijing Tianrun plans to transfer 30% equity of four subsidiary project companies in Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, and Yunnan provinces to Apple.

Lisa said, "We are very concerned about the issue of overcapacity in the wind power industry, and the four projects we selected are all in areas without wind power curtailment issues."

Apple's move aims to increase the clean energy usage rate of its upstream manufacturers. Upstream manufacturers refer to raw material companies whose products are used in Apple products through major suppliers like the well-known Foxconn.

Lisa stated that the wind power project and the 170-megawatt solar project Apple launched in Inner Mongolia last year are both aimed at addressing the clean energy needs of upstream manufacturers. "These projects will generate over 900 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, equivalent to the energy needs of 690,000 Chinese households for a year."

Lisa introduced that this clean energy will be integrated into the power grid, and upstream manufacturers can choose to purchase clean energy if they wish. "At the same time, Apple is very pleased to see that our major suppliers, including Foxconn, Lens Technology, Catcher Technology, and Solvay, have committed to using renewable energy to power the production of Apple-related products."

"We must help our manufacturing partners become greener, but teaching a man to fish is better than giving him a fish; we are continuously working in this direction," Lisa said.

Apart from Hinkley Point, offshore wind power is also an important opportunity for energy cooperation between China and the UK.

Breakthrough: The first offshore wind farm in the United States has officially been put into operation.

Specialized shelf application +1

The application of custom shelves and auxiliary tools Our company, with excellent design capabilities and years of practical experience, provides users with specialized shelves and auxiliary tools that closely meet their needs. Users can plan their logistics and storage methods based on a simple introduction. 1: Heavy-duty shelves made of section steel Users may have many overweight, oversized, and other special-shaped products or equipment. Using standard shelves can have many limitations. Our company designs and manufactures many custom projects using commercially available standard steel profiles, reducing the footprint for users and shortening processes effectively. Key selection points: 1. On-site lifting: whether to use a forklift or a crane. The lifting method significantly affects the design of the shelf assembly. 2. The weight, shape, access rhythm of the stored goods, and whether special brackets are needed. Examples include: - Automatic warehouse for car shells at Beijing Benz - ABB Beijing testing motor system rack - Equipment installation rack for automotive factories 2: Movable cantilever shelves Movable cantilever shelves are suitable for storing long materials and can be moved out using electric or manual methods for easy access by cranes. A reasonable arrangement of multiple movable cantilever shelves can save a significant amount of floor space. The load capacity, dimensions, and number of layers of the shelves can be designed and manufactured according to user requirements. 3: Pull-out heavy material rack

Tools and Implementation of Lean Production Management

1: What is Lean Production? Lean Production (LP) is a term coined by experts from the International Motor Vehicle Program (IMVP) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in praise of the Japanese "Toyota Just In Time (JIT) production method." "Lean" refers to not investing excess production factors and only producing the necessary quantity of urgently needed products (or products urgently needed by the next process) at the appropriate time. "Production" means that all business activities must be beneficial and effective, with economic efficiency. 2: Four Characteristics of Lean Production 3: Six Advantages of Lean Production 4: Ten Tools of Lean Production
