'Manufacturing companies must endure loneliness, innovate and develop a product, and the investment cycle will take years or even longer. Continuous investment in R&D will enable companies to move from followers to leaders. 'As a manufacturing company At the helm, Mr. Chen Ze, chairman and president of Huachangda Intelligent Equipment Group Co., Ltd. (hereafter referred to as “Huangchangda”), said in an interview.
As early as 2015, on the basis of the experience of developed countries in developing advanced manufacturing industries, the Chinese government proposed the Chinese version of 'Industry 4.0', that is, 'Made in China 2025', 'Made in China 2025' and 'Industry 4.0' in strategic connection. 4. China's economic restructuring and the acquisition of advanced manufacturing highlands are important initiatives.
Chen Ze stated frankly that China is currently a large manufacturing country, but it is not a strong country in equipment manufacturing. The output of many products made in China ranks first in the world, and it deserves to be the world’s largest manufacturing country. 'But we must also soberly see that China's equipment manufacturing industry is still at the low end of the industrial value chain as a whole. There are still problems such as lack of independent innovation capability, lack of core technologies, materials, spare parts and key equipment, insufficient manufacturing of high-quality products, and low resource utilization efficiency. He said.
In response to this, this year’s government work report has pointed out the direction for accelerating the building of a powerful country: promote the development of integrated circuits, fifth-generation mobile communications, aircraft engines, new energy vehicles, and high-end equipment, and implement major short-board high-end equipment special projects. High-end intelligent manufacturing, development of industrial Internet platforms, creating 'China Made 2025' demonstration area.
The presentation of 'a quality revolution made in China' in the government work report left a lasting impression on Chen Ze and gave him great motivation and confidence. Chen Ze stated that smart manufacturing is largely an innovation in technology. Huachangda has always insisted on 'independent research and development, scientific and technological innovation', breaking the record of core technologies of foreign companies' monopoly on many occasions, and will continue to rely on high technology to improve product quality, shorten lead times, and increase overall efficiency of the company.
The improvement of production efficiency and cost reduction are the essence of the development of Industry 4.0. Chen Ze told reporters that HuaChangda has long been committed to providing global customers with complete industrial 4.0 solutions in the field of industrial automation, and is widely used in automotive manufacturing. Robot integrated automation, logistics and warehousing automation, military industry, aerospace equipment field. He believes that to promote the development of Industry 4.0 must be in-depth integration of the industry and to achieve the ground, for which he also gives the future direction of development and recommendations.
Currently, the combination of industrial laser processing and robotics has achieved a wide range of industrial applications, but since it is a highly integrated system based on laser technology and robot technology, laser processing is also a complex intelligent system. Therefore, the combination of laser processing and robotics is in our country. It is still at an early stage of development. In this regard, Ze Ze believes that the integration of the robot body and the laser body in the core underlying technology will become an important innovation product in the future equipment manufacturing industry, and the application of 'robot + laser' technology will be integrated. It will also become a technology leader in the future.
Chen Ze introduced: 'Since the implementation of the China-made 2025' action plan, Huachangda's smart production line has been widely used at home and abroad automotive groups. From Porsche, Tesla and other foreign brands to domestic SAIC Group, Geely Group From the assembly and delivery to robotic automation welding equipment to powertrain robotic automation equipment, we can see that the HuaChangda intelligent system is in operation. We also have our products from military systems to large aircraft manufacturing to high-speed rail products. . '
Chen Ze also introduced that Hua Changda's mission is to integrate advanced technologies in various regions of the world, such as: Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Internet of Things, Edge Computing, Advanced Sensors, Industrial Virtual Reality, Industrial Blockchain, Next Generation New technologies such as communications, now and in the future, are injected into smart manufacturing plants and core equipment to create an industrial 4.0 industrial layout.
For manufacturing companies, the most important thing is to pay attention to the proportion of self-developed products. 'Taking the example of an upcoming robot that we developed, this robot has broken through the technical limitations of the past and became the world’s first without a reducer. The robot, which not only got rid of the monopoly position of the reducer technology abroad, but also made this kind of robot take up less space, the cost will be reduced by nearly 40%. 'Ze Ze told reporters.
After the 'Made in China 2025' target was completed, my Congress turned from a global manufacturing powerhouse to become a global intellectual powerhouse, from basic industries, core equipment, key processes and materials, to an integrated information physics system, a full industrial chain layout, and a high-end talent system. , China's innovative R & D will be a global leader.
