Intelligent Industrial Empire

"Okay, the food is here. Let's eat first. Let's set off after dinner. This is a working lunch today, so don't drink." Yun Fei said, to Wang Qingfeng, who was just about to let the waiter serve the wine. Depressed.

Without drinking, a meal will naturally be eaten very quickly, and within half an hour, everyone left the hotel.

Everyone understands Yunfei's style of doing things, and no one asks for a short rest after dinner.I got directly into the business car arranged by Wang Qingfeng. In the car, Wang Qingfeng began to briefly introduce the situation of the plastic products factory.

"In Xinkaixing Plastic Products Factory, it mainly produces various large quantities of plastic products. Only large quantities of products can effectively reduce the cost of molds. Because there are many small parts, the production speed is only tens of seconds, or even not Up to ten seconds. This makes it impossible for a worker to take care of too many equipment. If these most basic actions can be automated like the blanking workshop of a heat sink factory, our costs will be reduced a lot." This is Wang Qingfeng is currently the most tangled thing.

At the plastics factory, many products cannot be just formed by the mold, and the parts that have not been completely cooled will automatically fall down. The slightly larger products must be picked up by workers to ensure the quality of these parts.For example, the fan used for the heat sink on the computer needs to be divided into several molds to produce some parts, and then assembled, especially the blades. The production time for each piece is only 26 seconds, which is added to the operation time of the workers. of.Skilled workers can make this time less than 22 seconds, but there is no way to maintain this speed for a long time. Workers with slow hands and feet can even make this production time higher than 34 seconds. This is all statistical.

Once it can be transformed into automated production, the production time can be within 20 seconds and continuous production 24 hours a year. In this way, Xinkaixing can free up at least one third of the injection molding machine to produce other products. , Labor costs will be reduced to the greatest extent.

After all, when workers are working, it is impossible for workers to work in their best condition for twelve hours a day. 26 seconds is just an average time. This is the average production time that does not ignore the time for workers to eat, go to the bathroom and rest.

Anyway, Xinkaixing now has a wage system with a minimum guarantee plus a piece rate. In order to minimize labor costs and stimulate workers' enthusiasm for production, piece rate wages are also divided into grades.The more overproduction, the more piece rate it must be.The amount of work stipulated by the factory is basically non-profit.

Such a system is not only the case of Xinkaixing, but almost all factories along the coast.Anyway, these ordinary workers are regarded as robots, squeezing their labor force severely.

"The factory has four production workshops, all of which work in different areas according to different products and different equipment. The division of labor is very fine. The handling, adding materials, operators, quality inspection, molds, etc. are strictly divided... "

From the hotel to the industrial zone where the factory is located, it is only less than an hour away. Wang Qingfeng basically introduced the factory.

Plastic products factories do not need as much technology as other factories. The most complex molds are handled by Xinkaixing's mold factory. Equipment maintenance is relatively technical, but most of these equipment are from abroad The new equipment bought back costs tens of thousands of dollars for a small one, and it is not easy to cause problems.Mold installation and debugging are easier. After all, many products are produced on a large scale for a long time. After the mold is replaced, it is likely that the mold will not move for several months unless it is broken and needs repair...

In the past few years, in the Pearl River Delta, especially in the earliest developed cities such as Huadu and the Special Economic Zone, almost all visible places around the cities are industrial zones.Fortunately, this is only light industry, otherwise, like the area around Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are chemical plants or something, then the river in this place probably has no fish or shrimp.

The plastic products factory in Xinkaixing is not far from the Xinkaixing precision machinery processing plant, which is the headquarters.At present, the Huadu government is considering building a special industrial park for Xinkaixing, so that Xinkaixing can keep more industries here. Wang Qingfeng has been struggling with this.

Because the land in the industrial zone where Xinkaixing is located cannot support Xinkaixing’s expansion, mechanical processing is not like an electronic factory, and many heavy machinery and equipment cannot be placed upstairs. After all, there is no way to prevent equipment vibration upstairs. It is impossible to carry too much weight.This makes Xinkaixing's expansion require large-scale land to support.During this period of time, there was a lot of rumors about Wang Qingfeng’s land speculation, and the Huadu government did not dare to give Xinkaixing too much land.

If land is not available, many of Xinkaixing’s factories have to be relocated...

Huadu City Government is currently preparing for the government to fund the construction of a Xinkaixing Industrial Park, which will be used to install all Xinkaixing’s industries. Xinkaixing does not need to build factories, just rents out the money every year. The local operation mode is used, so that he will not be accused of having eaten the benefits that Wang Qingfeng has given him, and he will be granted land without principle, so that he can stir up the price of the land in Huadu.

"The injection molding machines in this workshop are all small injection molding machines with an injection volume of 30-80 cubic centimeters. There are 233 machines in the entire workshop. There are Taiwan, Japan, and domestic products. The production efficiency is not the same. The mold warehouse next to it It is also the largest, with a total of thousands of small molds for different products..." Injection molding machines are different from machining equipment. Many small equipment here are placed upstairs. Only the large injection molding machines are placed on the first floor. .After all, plastic products factories not only need operators, but also warehouses and other things.

"Chen Gong, should I ask you to take you around the workshop first?" Wang Qingfeng saw that Chen Mingli started to move around after entering the workshop, writing with a notebook and pen in her hand.He didn't know much about these factories, and he couldn't introduce them in detail.

Yun Fei was also constantly frowning on the side, and it seemed that as soon as he came in, he found a lot of problems.

"Mr. Wang, don’t bother, we can just look at it ourselves." Chen Mingli rejected Wang Qingfeng’s suggestion. There are many things that can only be found by looking at the problems, where can be automated, and where manual operations are necessary. Cost saving, these have to be evaluated by the operation of the workers.

The design concept of Jiuyi Research Institute is to achieve the highest benefit with the lowest cost.

Even if we look at it now, it is only the most preliminary idea. After they have a rough plan, more statistical investigations will be conducted.

The main purpose of automation is to replace the simple and repetitive actions of workers with mechanical automatic devices.All the actions used by these automated machinery are to simulate the operation of workers and optimize them to the greatest extent. Only in this way can the goal of minimizing costs be achieved.Without a detailed understanding, who can design it?

"Okay, Old Chen, you can take them by yourself. After a while, if we are not in the workshop, we will go to the factory director's office." Yun Fei naturally knows this, and Xin Kaixing should probably do it again. Rectified.

Wang Qingfeng did not inform the factory about their inspection, nor did they find the factory manager in advance. After all, the car belongs to the company's headquarters, so there is no obstacle to coming in.Upon arriving at the factory, Yunfei found many problems.

"Lao Wang, who is in charge of this factory? The recruits from outside, or the promotion from Xinkaixing's old factory?" Yun Fei asked Wang Qingfeng after Chen Mingli left.

When Wang Qingfeng heard what Yun Fei said, there was something wrong, and he asked doubtfully: "Except for the technicians in Xinkaixing, most of the management is promoted internally by the company. The director of this factory is called Tang Jing. A girl from the Industrial Development Department. What's wrong?"

"From the production department?" Yun Fei frowned. "People who come out of the production department shouldn't have such a situation. Pharaoh, have you noticed that the situation is a bit abnormal?"

"It's normal. What's abnormal?" Wang Qingfeng looked around, but didn't find anything abnormal.

"There are already a lot of equipment inside, so a shift needs so many people? Don't you think this workshop is messy?" Yun Fei was a bit speechless. The injection molding factory is not like a mechanical processing factory. It could have been very neat.Naturally there was nothing wrong with neatness, but Yun Fei still felt that it was too messy inside, mainly because there were too many people inside.

There are many people, crowding, and constant movement, which naturally gives people a sense of chaos.

"Why don't you ask Tang Jing about the situation? I don't know about these things. If you don't say that, I haven't noticed it. If you say that, it seems that many people are actually on duty..." Wang Qingfeng heard Yun Fei say this, but I really found that many people are not in the workplace.Logically speaking, in addition to the QC inspecting, the on-the-job monitors, technicians, and workers filling the material warehouse of the injection molding machine, operators should not be on duty.

The reason you can see it all at once is because different jobs in Xinkaixing have different colored work clothes.

"Just ask." Yun Fei nodded.

At this moment, he is no longer the same as he was before. If he discovered this situation before, he would naturally stop production in the entire workshop and speak to the workers.

Wang Qingfeng is familiar with all the factory directors. If Tang Jing is incapable, it is impossible to be hired here as the director.
