Equipment manufacturing is the ballast stone of the industrial economy. After years of development, the equipment manufacturing industry in Tianmen City, Hubei Province has covered more than 10 subdivisions such as machinery manufacturing, molding molds, and smart homes. Last year, the machinery manufacturing industry accounted for 28.1% of the designated industrial sector.
From traditional high-end efforts, from manufacturing to “intelligent manufacturing”, from individual operations to collective development… Looking at the industrial picture, “Tianmen Intelligent Manufacturing” is marching forward.
Find direction, market demand directs research and development
On March 4, in the assembly workshop of TianmenTextile Machinery Co., Ltd., workers were assembling a new TM19 draw frame. In the warehouse, there is a long queue of draw frames waiting to be shipped.
The draw frame is the main product of Tianmen Textile Machinery. Weaving requires uniform yarn, and the draw frame is responsible for turning sliver into uniform yarn. Until now, the development of self-levelling technology in the textile machinery industry has only focused on the merging and finishing steps after combing, and the merging of the first step is still blank.
In June last year, Tianmen Textile Machinery independently developed the world’s first fully automatic leveling draw frame TM19, which realizes full automatic leveling of the drawing process, significantly improves the key indicators of drawing and subsequent processes, and breaks the spinning yarnQualityceiling. Because TM19 fully meets customer needs, market feedback has been good.
“With more than 40 years of experience in the textile machinery industry, the company has transformed from ‘following’ to ‘leading’, relying on technological innovation.” said Shen Fangyong, chairman of Tianmen Textile Machinery , the baton of research and development is the market, and we must always meet or even lead the market demand. This year, no less than 35 million yuan will be invested to focus on the research and development of T2 series products.
Hubei Haoerte Industrial Co., Ltd. specializes in the production of environmental protection coating intelligent production line equipment, and its products sell well at home and abroad.
“The company has set up a dedicated team to conduct market research, conduct research and innovation in a timely manner according to consumer preferences, and continuously help customers meet market needs.” Liao Zongjun, the company’s general manager, said that this year it plans to add two new product lines and develop simple gantry and hydraulic Lifts.
Relying on 23 high-end equipment manufacturing enterprises such as Tianmen Textile Machinery, Tianmen City encourages enterprises to build high-level R&D platforms and create a group of specialized and new “chain core” enterprises focusing on subdivided fields to help the equipment manufacturing industry with high quality. develop.
Focus on the core and promote industrial upgrading through “intelligent manufacturing”
In the XCMG Environmental Protection Phase II workshop, there is neither odor nor dust and paint mist visible, and the smell of a modern factory is blowing in your face.
The tank welding robot is working in an orderly manner. Compared with manual labor, it has high efficiency and good forming effect. The intelligent painting process is fully automated, spraying paint is more uniform, and basically achieves zero emissions.
To change the impression that traditional machinery manufacturing has low added value and high energy consumption, XCMG Environmental Protection has carried out a comprehensive intelligent transformation of the production line, giving products a smarter “brain” and more Plenty of “stamina”.
In 2020, the company focused on improving the quality and capabilities of high-end sanitation equipment, investing 200 million yuan in building a new factory, adding automated welding production lines, intelligent logistics and other equipment, and further optimizing the process. The annual output of intelligent environmental protection equipment has increased from More than 1,800 sets have increased to the current 4,000 sets.
XCMG Environmental Protection was formed through mergers and acquisitions and was put into production at the end of 2018. Annual sales have increased from 5 million yuan before the merger to 392 million yuan in 2021; the number of independent products has increased from 8 to more than 200. The company has completed a “triple jump” in three years and has developed rapidly.
“ A year-on-year increase of 50%. This year, 30 million yuan will be invested in informatization transformation. In the future, each product will have an exclusive QR code, and you can know the specific information of the product by scanning the code.
Intelligent manufacturing is the only way for the equipment manufacturing industry to become bigger and stronger. Tianmen proposed to promote the deep integration of new generation information technology and manufacturing industry, and promote leading enterprises such as Univit, Jinxingda, and Kehao Door Industry to carry out intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstrations, improve the core competitiveness of enterprises, and lead the development of the industry.
To plan for the future, “create something out of nothing” to replenish and build links
After pieces of steel plates of different shapes are finely ground in fully automatic production equipment, deep holes of different sizes appear. On March 8, production was in full swing in the workshop of Sukesen (Tianmen) Molding Technology Co., Ltd.
Su Kesen’s main products are mold bases. Mold is the “mother of industry”. All mass-produced products require molds, and the mold base is the predecessor of the mold. “The mold base turns the drawings into real objects, and the mold is the fine processing of the mold base.” Wang Ruliang explained that because the mold base and mold processing technology are very different, mold manufacturers will choose to order mold bases to improve quality and efficiency.
“There are so many orders that we can never finish them.” Wang Ruliang, the company’s production manager, said that it was officially put into production at the end of May last year and achieved sales revenue of more than 20 million yuan in just half a year.
Behind the worry-free order is excellent quality assurance. “Jiangsu Sukesen is the leader in the industry. Relying on the mature process technology of the headquarters, the processing and position accuracy of the company’s mold base products can reach 0.01 mm, which is equivalent to one millimeter.��One-seventh of a hair strand. “Wang Ruliang said proudly that the operators all have 5 to 10 years of industry experience, and no design drawing is difficult for them.
In the past, orders from Hubei enterprises at their headquarters were also transferred to Tianmen. Wuhan Gree, Efeng Mold, Jingshan Light Machinery, etc. are all its customers.
The molding industry in Tianmen is something “made out of nothing”. Aiming at this key link in the manufacturing industry chain, Tianmen City established the Molding Ecological Alliance Industrial Park in 2018 to accelerate the cultivation of the molding industry. With Su Kesen as the leader, the industrial park has currently gathered key projects such as Taixin Forging, Zhenye Mold, Shungao Mold, and Wangxi Mold Incubation Park, and has initially formed an industrial chain of mold steel-mold base-mold.
