I-BMW Manufacturing ivule ivenkile yayo entsha yoshicilelo kwisikhululo saseSpartanburg, eMzantsi Carolina, njengoko ilungiselela ukudibanisa i-BMW X3 Sports Activity Vehicle entsha (isithuba sangaphambili). Ivenkile yoshicilelo iza kugximfiza iinxalenye zentsimbi zeBMW X3 entsha, ethe yaqala ukuvela kuMntla Melika ngexesha lomsitho. Ezi zixhobo ziquka iindawo zokuxhoma ezifana neengcango ezine zesithuthi, iifenda, isango lokuphakamisa, kunye namacala omzimba wangaphandle.
Emva kweminyaka engama-30 yokusebenza ngempumelelo, sandisa nangakumbi ukuzibophelela kwethu. Ekupheleni kuka-2026, udibaniso lweZithuthi zoMsebenzi weMidlalo zombane zonke ziya kuqala apha eSpartanburg. Eli linyathelo elongezelelekileyo lokuqinisa ukomelela kwethu kwihlabathi.

Ngo-2030, iQela le-BMW liya kuhlanganisa ubuncinane iimodeli ezintandathu zombane ngokupheleleyo e-US. Iibhetri zombane ophezulu kwii-BEV zexesha elizayo ezivela eSpartanburg ziya kuvela eWoodruff ekufutshane, apho iQela lakwaBMW ngoku lakha umzi-mveliso wokudityaniswa kweebhetri zesizukulwana sesithandathu. Ukuvulwa kwevenkile yeendaba nako kunegalelo ekomelezeni i-US footprint.
IQela lakwaBMW lityale imali engaphaya kwe-200 yezigidi zeerandi ukuze kwakhiwe ivenkile yokushicilela engama-219,000-square-foot. Kuthathe iinyanga ezingama-24 ukusuka kulungiselelo lomsebenzi wesiza ukuya kwisitampu senxalenye yokuqala kumatshini wokushicilela. Olu tyalo-mali lukwaquke imisebenzi emitsha engaphezu kwama-200 kwimisebenzi efana namagcisa ezixhobo kunye nokugcinwa kombane noomatshini bomatshini abazisebenzelayo. Uninzi lwabalingane bePlant Spartanburg abaqeqeshwe kwiivenkile zokushicilela zeQela lakwaBMW eSwindon e-UK naseLeipzig eJamani.
I-BMW X3 yenye yeemoto ezithengiswa kakhulu kule nkampani eMelika nakwihlabathi jikelele. Amaqabane ePlant Spartanburg aqokelele ngaphezulu kwe-1.7 yezigidi zeeBMW X3 ukusukela oko imodeli yangena kuluhlu lweplanti ngo-2010. I-BMW X3 entsha iza kuthengiswa ekwindla lika-2024.
Ivenkile yeendaba iphawula ukuqala kwenkqubo yokuvelisa iimoto. Iikhoyili ezinkulu zentsimbi zothulwa kwiilori kusetyenziswa ikhreyini enkulu engaphakathi evenkileni. Iintsimbi zentsimbi zifakwe kwi-Coil Line, apho intsimbi inqunyulwa ibe "izinto ezingenanto" (i-rectangular cutoffs okanye iimilo ezikhethekileyo) ukuya kwi-70 imivimbo ngomzuzu. Ezi zikhewu zilungele ukondliwa kwi-Press Line.
I-Press Line inezikhululo zocofa (stamping) ezintlanu. Umgca uxhotyiswe ngeteknoloji ye-servo, eyenza i-BMW ikhulise ukusebenza kwemveliso yokushicilela kakhulu. I-crane ephezulu ihambisa isixhobo esichanekileyo sokushicilela (fa) kwisitishi ngasinye. Indawo engenanto ifakwa kwisikhululo sokuqala sokushicilela kwaye idluliselwe ukusuka kwesinye isikhululo ukuya kwesinye ngetekhnoloji efana nerobhothi, ebizwa ngokuba "yi-crossbar feeder," kwimisebenzi eyongezelelweyo yokwenza kunye nokulungisa. Umgca unokuhamba ukuya kuthi ga kwi-18 imivumbo ngomzuzu, oku kuthetha ukuba ukuya kuthi ga kwi-10,000 iinxalenye zinokufakwa isitampu ngosuku ngalunye, kuxhomekeke kubungakanani benxalenye nganye.
Emva kokuba iinxalenye zifakwe isitampu, ziya kulawulo lomgangatho ukuze zihlolwe; abahloli bekhwalithi basebenzisa ukukhanya okukhethekileyo okulinganisa ukukhanya kwemini yendalo. Amacandelo ke aqokelelwa kwiiracks ezilungele ukuhanjiswa kumgca wemveliso wevenkile yomzimba.
Ngaphantsi kwemigca yokushicilela kunye neekhoyili kukho iindawo eziqokelela isinyithi esilahliweyo esiqokelelwe emva kokuba iindawo zifakwe isitampu. Zimalunga neetoni ezingama-50 zezinto ezilahliweyo eziqokelelwa suku ngalunye ngomthamo opheleleyo; umthumeli omde uhambisa inkunkuma, kwaye ilayishwa kwiitreyila eziziimitha ezingama-53. Zonke ezi mathiriyeli zikhutshwa ngaphandle kwendawo ukuze zihlaziywe.
Kulo nyaka, iBMW Manufacturing iphawula iminyaka engama-30 yokuhlanganisa ii-BMWs eMzantsi Carolina, ngaphezulu kwe-6.7 yezigidi zee-BMW ezidityanisiweyo ebudeni bamashumi amathathu eminyaka. Umzi-mveliso waseSpartanburg uqeshe abantu abangaphezu kwe-11,000 ukuba badibanise i-X3, i-X5, i-X7 kunye ne-XM yeZithuthi zeMidlalo yeMidlalo kunye ne-X4 kunye ne-X6 ye-Sports Activity Coupes. Ikhampasi ye-1,150-acre, 8-million-square-foot-foot ibandakanya iivenkile ezintathu zomzimba ezineerobhothi ezingaphezu kwama-2,600, iivenkile ezimbini zokupeyinta, kunye neeholo ezimbini zendibano.
Umzi-mveliso uvelisa malunga ne-20% yamandla awo kwirhasi ye-methane kwaye usebenzisa itekhnoloji ye-hydrogen fuel cell ukunika amandla malunga nama-800 ezixhobo zokuphatha imathiriyeli.
IQela le-BMW libhengeze ngo-2022 ukuba liza kutyala i-1.7 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kwimisebenzi yalo yase-US, kubandakanywa i-1 yebhiliyoni yeedola ukulungiselela iplanti yaseSpartanburg ukudibanisa izithuthi zombane ngokupheleleyo kunye ne-700 yezigidi zeedola ukwakha iplanti entsha yokuhlanganisa ibhetri ephezulu e-Woodruff.
Xa igqityiwe ngo-2026, iPlant Woodruff iya kudibanisa iibhetri zesizukulwana sesithandathu ukubonelela ngezithuthi zombane ngokupheleleyo kwi-BMW Manufacturing.
