2020 Mechanical Equipment Industry Accelerates towards a Hundred Billion Industry
With the joy of steady growth and a beautiful vision for the future, the mechanical equipment industry in Nan'an has gone through an exciting 2019. Looking back on 2019, there were too many unforgettable events in the mechanical equipment industry. The successful hosting of two industry events, new achievements in industrial design, and the successful research and development of various intelligent equipment products all injected new energy into the industry.
Nowadays, Nan'an mechanical equipment enterprises not only shine brightly in the domestic market, but also go further and further on the stage of international competition. Faced with new challenges, the level of product intelligence and production process intelligence has become an important weapon for the mechanical equipment industry to win in the strong global equipment market.
Industry insiders point out that with the vigorous rise of industrial transformation represented by intelligent manufacturing, the intelligent equipment industry, which integrates new generation information technology and advanced manufacturing technology, has ushered in significant development. In addition, with the continuous improvement of standards and the continuous introduction of supporting policies, it is believed that in 2020, the mechanical equipment industry in Nan'an will stride forward towards a hundred billion dollar industry.
Intelligent upgrade of production process
For the mechanical equipment industry, the previous approach of consuming resources to promote production is no longer sustainable. Meanwhile, manpower is surpassing raw materials as the largest cost expenditure. Taking the path of intelligent development has become an unavoidable change and trend in the industry.
Facing the market economy and participating in global competition, advanced manufacturing technology has become the core competitiveness of mechanical equipment enterprises. Although the mechanical market in the past year has not been as good as in previous years, the more sluggish the market economy is, the more enterprises focus on cultivating internal skills and arming themselves with intelligent production equipment.
So, how will the industry achieve intelligence? The most intuitive manifestation is the introduction of robots. At present, many enterprises have already used robots on a large scale for welding, painting, assembly and other work in the production process. At the Quanzhou Intelligent Equipment Expo held in December 2019, the ubiquitous robots became the most eye-catching products. Many robot companies have stated that robots are currently increasing in sales, functionality, and other aspects. Taking Quanzhou Shuangta Automotive Parts Co., Ltd. as an example, the company currently has 15 sets of Panasonic robot welding equipment. Some of the products processed for American companies in the past cannot be produced domestically. Orders accepted by Twin Towers can only be stamped, and the welding part can only be done in the United States. Through our efforts with Twin Towers, the United States has recognized Twin Towers' welding technology, allowing it to be used for production in China, "Panasonic's relevant person in charge, Luo Hongzhi, told reporters.
In addition, as a strategic basic industry, intelligent machine tools undoubtedly play a supporting role in the manufacturing industry. Since the beginning of this year, Qunfeng Machinery has spent over 6 million yuan on just two intelligent production equipment, including CNC gantry milling and shot blasting machines. Among them, the introduced CNC gantry milling can achieve multiple processes such as turning, milling, and drilling on a single machine tool, which not only eliminates the handling process, but also greatly improves production efficiency and product accuracy. In the Qunfeng production workshop, a giant machine 36 meters long, 13 meters wide, and 8 meters high is also the latest introduced equipment - a shot blasting machine. according to
