At the end of the year, in the bitter winter of Wuhu, the faint sunshine is falling gently.
At 8:30 am, Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) (hereinafter referred to as Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) , 688165. SH) the green belt at the gate of the plant is also covered with a thin layer of frost. The employees have entered the plant one after another and are ready to start the day’s work.
Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) Wuhu plant is located in Wuhu Jiujiang Economic Development Zone, which is the birthplace of Yitai industry Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) . When you enter the assembly workshop, you first see two rows of small-scale cooperation Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) standing upright, and the workers are assembling them. In the area of the Yellow grid in the distance, the Yellow Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) are constantly “waving their arms” and debugging various parameters
In the factory channel, the interface reporter saw Zhang Fei who was inspecting the equipment. He wore yellow overalls, black framed eyes, an inch of head and a baby face. When he smiled, he gave people a cordial feeling.
Zhang Fei is the production dispatcher of Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) business department. He has led a team of more than 80 people since the post-90s.
“Every morning, I will go around the factory first and inspect the movement state of Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) on each station.” Zhang Fei said, “there are some faults. I can preliminarily judge the problem by listening to the sound.”
This is not an exaggeration. From front-line workers to team leaders, from the quality department to the production department, Zhang Fei has worked in Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) for nearly nine years.
From product research and development, trial production, small batch to large-scale mass production, he is very familiar with the manufacturing process of Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) products. It is his specialty to judge and deal with faults in the production process.
Zhang Fei said that every day he would deal with abnormal conditions such as abnormal noise, oil leakage and alarm from Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) on the station to ensure that the products could meet the offline standard.
“hit the road by mistake”
Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) was founded in 2007 and was born out of the equipment manufacturing section under Chery Automobile Equipment Department. Most of the industrial Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) products produced in the early stage Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) are supplied to the production line of Chery automobile.
Before joining Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) , Zhang Fei worked as a welder in the workshop of Chery automobile. At that time, there was a 24-hour welding Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) next to his station.
“At that time, I had contact and learned about the performance of some welding Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) , but I didn’t expect to enter the industry by mistake.” Zhang Fei said.
In June 2013, Zhang Fei felt that the welder’s work was boring and had the idea of changing his job. At that time, a friend happened to work in Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) , so he jumped into Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) .
At that time Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) , it was also in a critical period of transformation. The company decided to go out of the automotive industry and expand the self-developed industrial Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) to bathroom, 3C electronics, furniture and other subdivided industries.
After entering Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) , under the guidance of the master, Zhang Fei started with the simple Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) base assembly, then installed the gear, and then adjusted the clearance of the gear.
“The master leads you to the door, and the practice is personal.” Zhang Fei smiled and said to the interface news reporter, “after about two or three months of training, I can basically get started.”
After getting familiar with the business, Zhang Fei slowly began to be exposed to the research and development of some new projects. “With the R & D technical team, I also learned a lot, especially in the wrist technology R & D of Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) .” Zhang Fei said.
According to him, Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) the core component of assembly lies in the wrist, especially the gear transmission, which has high requirements for the accuracy of clearance and parts.
“The clearance between gears is only about one third of that of hair. This is mainly through manual attempts to pad gaskets with different thicknesses to ensure the consistency of Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) accuracy.” Zhang Fei recalled, “at that time, there were only seven people in a team. Everyone was slowly groping for the feeling.”
Zhang Fei said that at that time, the output of the factory was only a dozen units a month and no more than 300 units a year.
Benefiting from the expansion of the new market, Zhang Fei clearly felt the change in the number of factory orders at the end of 2014. “The annual shipment has gradually increased to more than 800 units. The capacity of the old plant has been completely saturated.”
In the process of market segment development, Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) is aware of the technical shortcomings of domestic Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) . In order to improve its technical capability, the company has successively invested 1.1 billion yuan to acquire three Italian system integrators CMA, evolut and WFC since 2015 to obtain their technologies in Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) spraying, grinding, polishing and welding.
In order to keep up with the order demand, Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) also started the construction of a new plant (now Wuhu Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) plant) in 2015.
Two years later, Zhang Fei and several colleagues laid the first sign of Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) Industrial Park on the southeast corner of the gate of the new plant.
post epidemic order outbreak
After the completion of the construction of the new factory, it caught up with the outbreak of the industry.
Especially in the past two years, due to the covid-19 epidemic, other countries are often in the state of shutdown. Due to the proper control of the epidemic, China has undertaken a large number of production and manufacturing needs from all over the world, which has promoted the formation of a small peak in China’s manufacturing industry and indirectly driven the growth of industry Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) .
In the post epidemic era, manufacturing enterprises have gradually realized the importance of automatic production and reducing personnel dependence, and began to take the initiative to improve the automation rate of production lines.
In 2020, China’s industrial Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) market reached 42.25 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 18.9%. Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) also ushered in a high-speed development period in 2020.
The Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) automobile assembly workshop in phase I of the Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) Industrial Park is only settled in the Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) project. Due to the rapid development of business, an integration workshop was built in phase I project in 2020.
In July of that year, Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) became China’s first listed company on the science and innovation board with the whole industrial chain as the main business, and ranked among the first echelon of China’s industrial Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) industry.
The Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) product type of Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) is also expanding, with a minimum load of about 3kg and a maximum load of 370kg, which can be customized according to different needs of customers. The main application fields of the products have been gradually expanded to 3C, photovoltaic, PCB, furniture, ceramics, sanitary ware, cast steel structure, etc.
Among them, the light desktop type Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) is mainly used for handling, testing, loading and unloading in 3C industry; 15-20kg small and medium-sized Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) , with spraying, polishing, welding and other functions, mainly used in automobile parts, furniture manufacturing, ceramic sanitary ware and other industries; Large load type Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) above 50kg is mainly used in photovoltaic and ceramic industries.
The high scenery continues until 2021.
“In the middle of 2021, orders from the downstream 3C industry broke out, and the company’s monthly 3C Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) assembly volume reached more than 300 units, accounting for about half of the company’s overall shipment.” Zhang Fei revealed.
In addition, with the rise of a new round of industrial transformation, the demand for automation transformation in emerging fields such as photovoltaic and lithium battery also promotes the rapid growth of domestic Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) orders.
Zhang Fei said that the photovoltaic industry is developing rapidly and has a centralized delivery period. The shipment speed of Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) is required to be faster. “In order to deliver orders in time and seize market share, our ministers and leaders take the lead without holidays.”
“From raw materials entering the factory to assembly, testing and shipment, the factory can ship about 20-30 photovoltaic Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) a day as soon as possible.” Zhang Fei said, “from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., we were busy for seven days without rest for a month.”
“It’s false to say you’re not tired. But it’s worth seeing Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) issued one by one, rush to work, and reduce the problem of labor shortage and recruitment.” Zhang Fei said.
According to the latest data of the National Bureau of statistics, in 2021, the industrial Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) output of Industrial Enterprises above Designated Size reached 366000 sets, a year-on-year increase of 44.9%, a record high.
SMEs are eager for transformation
At present Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) customers are mainly Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises, and customers in traditional manufacturing industries such as spraying and welding still account for a large proportion.
“This is mainly because China’s traditional manufacturing industry is very eager for transformation.” Zhang Fei said.
For example, he told the interface news reporter that the annual labor cost of a welder in traditional welding and other industries is about 150000 yuan. Industry Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) can work 24 hours a day and save 2-4 manpower a year as long as the programmed program is invested.
In special industries, welding, spraying and other processes will produce smoke, arc, metal splash, etc., and the working environment is poor. Using industrial Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) work can make workers avoid harsh environment, reduce the interference of manual operation and make the welding quality more stable.
Under the background of rising labor costs and increasing population aging, industry Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) is increasingly used in China’s manufacturing industry.
Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) density is a barometer to track the degree of automation adoption in the global manufacturing industry. According to the International Federation of Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) (IFR), China’s Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) density increased from 49 Units in 2015 to 246 units in 2020, nearly twice the global average of 126 units.
In addition to the traditional manufacturing industry, new areas are also accelerating towards intelligent manufacturing. This not only puts forward higher requirements for domestic Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) , but also brings new opportunities.
“The most obvious change in the company’s Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) business in recent years is that the speed of technology research and development is faster and the product categories are richer.” Zhang Fei said, “before a new product from R & D to investment, it may take a year or two, but now it only takes about 3-6 months.”
Zhang Fei said that now Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) has Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) of five module groups including 3C, spraying and cooperation, and there are two to three new projects under development in each project group.
According to him, during the actual operation, the workers in the manufacturing department will put forward some feasible suggestions for new projects according to the actual situation, and then feed back to the manufacturing representative. The manufacturing representative will communicate and cooperate with colleagues in the R & D department to continuously promote new projects.
In order to cope with the rapidly growing orders and changing product technologies, Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) has jointly built a ” Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) College” with Anhui electromechanical vocational and technical college.
China is the world’s largest industrial Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) market and is still in the stage of rapid development. But for a long time, abb, FANUC, Yaskawa and other foreign brands have occupied a major share in the Chinese market.
According to the data of prospective industry research institute, the top five enterprises in China’s industry Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) in 2020 are FANUC, Epson, abb, Yaskawa and KUKA, with market shares of 10%, 9%, 7%, 6% and 5% respectively.
Zhang Fei said that foreign Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) brands mainly occupy orders in Chinese automobile and other industries, which is similar to emerging industries such as photovoltaic. More and more manufacturers are willing to try domestic Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) .
He believes that compared with foreign brands, Efort Intelligent Equipment Co.Ltd(688165) and other domestic Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) have the advantages of customization, personalization and short delivery cycle. “Some products can be developed according to customers’ special application scenarios.”
For Zhang Fei, 2021 is undoubtedly a busy year. If he takes an occasional day off, he will basically choose to rest at home.
When it comes to future planning, Zhang Fei said to the interface news with a smile: “in the future, I think I should love what I do.”
