A year ago, the Gulf of Shenzhen was accompanied by Vice President Cheng Tianzong Maetomi Jiyasu (Terry) Mr. depth interviewed a number of large factories in the Pearl River Delta, listed companies, entrepreneurial team, hackerspaces, incubators and other institutions, and a unique perspective of a series of "new hardware? A series of reports of new manufacturing" as the theme the.
In last week's ACT TALK event, we invited two start-up companies in the field of intelligent manufacturing, and conducted a thorough analysis of the current 3C manufacturing ecosystem in china. And on the second day, we received a letter from a reader about the feelings and dreams of a twenty year veteran in the PCB and SMT industries.
Twenty years, we have witnessed the glory and the dream of carrying Shenzhen this ideal city, seen in industrial robots, IOT factory and other cutting-edge technology driven by great changes in manufacturing industry ecology, hardware business environment, this series of changes also allow Shenzhen Bay of "new manufacturing" with new hardware? The new thinking.
"China automation level backward, but we shouldn't have China manufacturing because of improperly belittle oneself, the world's most perfect ecological. "This was a speech by Li Qun automation CEO Shi Jinbo in the Shenzhen Bay event last Wednesday night.
This may make a lot of people feel the "Chinese made" the current awkward situation, but should also make every manufacturing industry proud. In the past few decades, the labels made in China have been plastered all over the world, bringing convenience to the basic necessities of living in developed countries in Europe and america. A toothpick, a pack of desiccant, and any very small product, produced under the wheel of a Chinese made ship, produce tremendous business opportunities.
"4 of China's industry is different from Germany, and 70% of the world's manufacturing industry is in China. China is mainly trying to solve human problems and solve efficiency problems.". Shao Yongfeng, general manager of orange automation, commented on the status quo of Chinese automation and said with emotion: "I am still young and should work hard for the industry.". "
Guests on the platform of these words, deeply touched the Liu Derong sitting under the platform. Liu Derong is a PCB and SMT industry veteran of twenty years of veterans, from a lay assistant until later set up his own company, which has witnessed the evolution and prosperity of Shenzhen 3C electronics industry.
PCB (Printed Circuit Board), printed circuit board, is the core part of indispensable in the electronics industry; SMT (Surface Mount Technology), the surface mount technology, is a kind of technique and technology of the electronic assembly industry's most popular. In Shenzhen as the representative of the Pearl River Delta, the electronic information industry, a complete industrial chain, is a veritable factory of the world.
Liu Derong's founding of the British Electronics Co., Ltd. is also a member of such enterprises, such enterprises in order to OEM based production, orders have many varieties, small quantities, fast delivery, and many characteristics of personality. However, in the current state to promote industrial upgrading, and promote the factory from the automatic to the "intelligent" to promote the trend, such enterprises are beginning to have trouble.
Electronic information industry is still a pillar industry in Shenzhen, the scale of the industry has reached about 1200000000000, accounting for about 1/7 of the national electronic information manufacturing revenue. In Shenzhen, there are a large number of electronic information leading enterprises, such as HUAWEI, ZTE, TCL and so on, and a large number of enterprises producing small quantities of lean manufacturing enterprises should meet the needs of the times.
In the Gulf of Shenzhen last year the "new manufacturing" new hardware? Column series of articles, also reported a number of small batch production of typical enterprises, of which less than 30 people, with 20% production capacity, service 50 hit off the team's amp Chuan, also has assembled a uArm manipulator in its own agile manufacturing center Seeed.
As Liu Derong mentioned, the traditional manufacturing enterprises "because each order bill of materials, production processes, cleaning standards, packaging requirements are different, the production characteristics of different specifications of labeling", do not like the standard product that manufacturers can be large-scale upgrading the automation. How to make use of industrial robots and use advanced automation management platform to use information technology to help these enterprises realize flexible production and agile manufacturing is the topic that they all care about.
Under pressure, many traditional enterprises have started to OEM ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) transformation, and gradually began to pay attention to the independent intellectual property rights, do innovative products, as well as the development of independent brands.
Machine substitution may be a "beautiful trap", and how to implement flexible production is the key
4 of China's industries, like an aircraft carrier, are pushing China forward. For these small, small flexible production companies, OEM, after experiencing the "boom era" brought about by the demographic dividend, is also beginning to think about how to take a road of independent innovation.
Perhaps a lot of OEM companies rely on many years of accumulated channel advantages, and the Pearl River Delta Natural industrial chain advantages, is still alive and very moist. No longer can the demographic dividend, the cost advantage is no longer, and the rise of the Internet penetration has prompted the mode of production, management, production equipment, and raw materials will undergo major changes, these factors have started to make some entrepreneurs have concerns about the future.
"Without the independent innovation of Chinese enterprises, we can only be the world factory forever.". Without trial and error and iteration of development, we will never have our own core technology. "This is the voice of Yang Derong, but also the voice of many Shenzhen OEM business owners. How to innovate? Is it really the general trend to replace the machines?
For these manufacturers, the sheer pursuit of automation, equipment, mass production, and reduced manufacturing costs oriented "machine substitution" may be a trap. Because for them, the key to machine substitution is how to implement software flexibility, agile programming, or automatic programming, just like "quick change mode" in TPS (transaction processing system).
State Department counselor professor Tang Min once said: "the future China, with mass production and low cost to win the labor intensive industries relocated to the southeast of flexible manufacturing capacity China a trend which cannot be halted, only can leave is small batch customization. "
In their view, if China can scale up the manufacturing system and have flexible production capacity, then more manufacturing can be kept in china.
