New technologies empower "old industries" and new markets to make new breakthroughs
In the choice of the industry, Kunzhou Shipbuilding Intelligence has been focusing on the application of traditional manufacturing. Among its many industries, the tobacco industry is one of its earliest and most important application areas.
Since 1997, Kunzhou Shipbuilding Intelligent A** has been successfully landed in Yunnan Honghe Cigarette Factory, and since then, Kunzhou Shipbuilding Intelligent's A** products have developed rapidly in the tobacco industry and become a leading enterprise in the tobacco industry.
Tobacco has always been our main customer, although the application scenarios of the tobacco industry have not changed much, but the company's products have been gradually upgraded with the development of the tobacco industrySome tobacco companies are already using our third-generation products. It is worth mentioning that Honghe Cigarette Factory has used the first generation of A** in Kunchuan for more than 20 years, which is one of the longest-running A** systems in the industry.
In addition to the tobacco industry, in recent years, Kunchuan Intelligent has also set its sights on the brewing industry. Jiang Rongqi introduced that the company began to develop and test relevant products in response to the needs of the liquor industry in 2018, and now from the preparation of raw materials for liquor, grain processing, brewing to packaging, Kunzhou Shipbuilding Intelligence can provide corresponding first-class solutions in all links, realizing full line coverage. At present, the A** products of Kunzhou Shipbuilding Intelligence have been widely used in the top 10 enterprises in the wine industry, including Luzhou Laojiao, Guotai, Xijiu, etc., and hundreds of A** products have been landed.
In fact, the needs of the wine industry are similar to those of the tobacco industry, in that automated robots are needed to handle handling tasks in different links. Just as we did in the tobacco industry, we're now digging into the wine industry to figure out what needs to be automated. Jiang Rongqi added," he addedThis is our habit of Kunship, as an industry, we hope to be able to open up the application of all links from beginning to end.
At the same time,In the glass fiber industry, Kunzhou Shipbuilding Intelligence has cooperated with the four major glass fiber enterprises in China, with a very high market share.
In addition to the traditional manufacturing industry, in the past two years, Kunzhou Shipbuilding Intelligence is also actively expanding some new markets. In the new energy industry, especially in the field of polysilicon, Kunzhou Shipbuilding Intelligence has also cooperated with a number of enterprises to provide them with a** related solutions. At the same time, with the rapid increase in the number of private cars in China, the parking problem has become an inevitable social problem in major cities. Therefore, in this context, Kunzhou Shipbuilding Intelligence has also launched a smart parking system.
The intelligent parking system of Kunming Shipbuilding Intelligent integrates parking robot technology, wireless communication technology, mobile terminal technology, global satellite positioning system technology, geographic information system technology and other technologies to the construction, collection, management, query, reservation and navigation services of urban parking spaces, which is a new generation of parking system. Among them, Kunchuan Intelligent Parking A** adopts the self-developed composite navigation technology, driven by four independent bogies, which can realize spin, translation, multi-directional SD and other movement modes, with a load of up to 35 tons, the current maximum operating speed is 15m s, positioning accuracy 5mm, the upper control system adopts ATIS 4 independently developed by Kunzhou Shipbuilding Intelligent Company0（pro）。
At present, Kunchuan has completed more than a dozen smart parking projects, and Jiang Rongqi is also full of confidence in the follow-up development of the business"Through this system, we can activate the city's parking resources, solve the problem of parking difficulties in the past, realize the effective use of parking space resources, and plan to radiate this business to the whole of Yunnan, and face the national cities and overseas markets." ”
Continuously improve service quality and grasp market opportunities
While the product layout and solutions continue to deepen, Kunzhou Shipbuilding Intelligence has also been committed to improving the service level. In the increasingly competitive smart device market, project delivery is an important indicator of service levels.
Jiang Rongqi mentioned. We have always paid special attention to the delivery of projects, and always adhered to the principle that the project should not be 'rotten' and overcome all difficulties. It had to be delivered as planned, so our A** project acceptance rate has always been very high.
For example, the a** of a liquor project in Shaanxi of Kunchuan Intelligent Co., Ltd. is the first automatic handling equipment applied to the retort process section of the brewing process, and the a** required by the project is not only heavy and lifted, but also needs to overcome the problems of high temperature, water vapor interference, weak acidic operating environment and slippery road surface in the brewing process, and the overall implementation of the project is difficult, and the project customer requires that the a** must be delivered before August 25, 2023.
However, since the end of July 2023, when the project manager sorted out the arrival of the project's devices, it continued to feedback that the key components such as the car body and battery of the first-class parts supplier could not arrive on time. On one end is the customer's requirement for the whole line to run on September 3, and at the other end is the current situation ......of serious overdue supply of A** key devicesIn the face of customer demand and huge delivery pressure, the project management team of Kunzhou Shipbuilding Intelligent negotiated with the customer to divide the cargo plan, and on August 10, set up an assault team composed of production department, engineering department and A** product department, and finally realized the on-time delivery of the project.
The progress made by KSC in service quality and product innovation has laid a solid foundation for the company's development in different industries, which will continue to promote the company's success in the intelligent manufacturing and intelligent logistics markets.
With the gradual popularization of the concept of smart manufacturing and digital factory, we can foresee that the demand for smart devices will continue to grow in the future. On the one hand, one of the key goals of automation is to replace manual work with machines, and on the other hand, the demand for digital transformation by integrating production, distribution and consumption will continue to rise. ”
He mentioned that there are significant differences in the maturity of various industries in terms of intelligence and automation, which will lead to the development of the future market showing an upgrade trend from low automation to high automation, intelligence and digitalization.
When talking about the future development of the company, Jiang Rongqi emphasized: ".No matter how it develops in the future, as an important enterprise in China's logistics field, KSC will continue to provide solutions for the upgrading and transformation of automated logistics and intelligent manufacturing. At the same time, we will also respond to the national development needs, especially the Belt and Road Initiative, and actively participate in the expansion of the international market."
