Intelligent Industrial Empire

"This, this..." Hearing Cheng Feng's introduction, a group of Americans really felt that their brains couldn't turn around.

Is this still in mainland China?

Such an advanced production model, such a harmonious man-machine coordinated production, even among the most advanced manufacturing companies in the United States, not many companies are willing to spend huge costs to form such a production!How high this cost is, the head of General Industry Department of Rockwell International, which also has a very high position in the field of automation, cannot be ignorant.

They are involved in professional automation in a certain field, rather than open automation as they see before their eyes.

"At present, these technologies are not very familiar, and the role of robots in the production process is only auxiliary work. Talents are the most basic. In this regard, we have done the best. All assembly workers are They are the top workers in our country. More than 70% of them are skilled workers above our senior technicians. Among them, technicians and senior technicians account for one-third of the entire assembly workshop..." It seems like these The impact of the robots running around on these Americans was not great enough, and Cheng Feng began to throw out a data that made Americans go crazy.

The labor cost in the United States is many times higher than that in China.

Therefore, in any factory, whether it is the United States, Europe, Japan, or China, most factories use a pyramid structure to reasonably match various levels of skilled workers to reduce production costs.After all, the better the skilled workers, the higher the labor compensation they need.

"Cheng, can I ask, how much does your labor cost account for in your production cost?" No matter how cheap China's senior skilled workers are, it won't let this crazy Chinese upstart do such a thing, right?

The labor cost of the manufacturing enterprise originally occupies a large proportion.For units with higher skills, the proportion of labor costs is greater.

"Less than five percent. Because our workers are all highly experienced senior technicians, they far surpass ordinary workers in production efficiency and other aspects..." Cheng Feng replied without hesitation.

On the surface, the company pays very high cost of workers every year, but their staffing is much less. Most of the workers' salaries are raised by working overtime.Overtime expenses are not based on how many times the country normally requires, and how many times on weekends.

Performance!

"There are not many other things in China, but the population is large." Yun Fei said with a smile.

Although the United States is large, its population is far worse than that of China, but the number of factories in their country far exceeds that of China. Highly skilled and skilled workers must accumulate over time. In a country like the United States, skilled workers are not large. The choice of the majority.China is different. China is a country where workers and peasants are the masters!

Although there were so many doubts in his mind, Othello also knew that these Chinese people could not solve his doubts one by one.After all, many of these involve the company's trade secrets.To be able to tell him how much cost share the company's labor costs occupy is already very kind for him.

"Mr. Othello, here is our three-axis machining center assembly workshop. All the workers inside are intermediate or above skilled workers..."

"This is our four-axis machining center assembly workshop. All workers have a minimum technical level of senior workers or above..."

"This is our five-axis machining center assembly workshop. The lowest level of assembly workers are technicians..."

Othello and his team were numb to such an introduction.Such a situation is absolutely rare in the entire world, and even, it is only possible to see such a unique thing in Jiuyi Heavy Industry!

This is too shameless and too wasteful.

At Jiuyi Heavy Industry, all kinds of high-level skilled workers are like Chinese cabbage on the roadside, and they can be bought at will for a lot of money...

In the United States, this situation is rare. Even in top manufacturing companies like Rockwell International, it is also rare.Even their production plants for automated equipment and aerospace products cannot achieve this level!If they do, the high cost may even bankrupt them.

The difference between the technical level of highly skilled workers and ordinary workers is difficult to define, but in terms of production efficiency, it is impossible to triple or quadruple, but the labor cost is definitely more than triple or quadruple.

"Mr. Cheng Feng, you don't need to introduce the technical level of your workers. What we hope to know is the processing accuracy of these equipment, and the service life, which are actually related to our production costs..." Othello's The assistant finally recovered from the shock of the Chinese people's criminal waste, only to find that along the way, the other party had not introduced them to these performance parameters of their equipment.

It seems that the tour itinerary here is over.

"Performance parameters or something, we feel that instead of explaining to you with boring data, it is better to let everyone visit and introduce at our finishing production site. Only in this way will there be an intuitive explanation to avoid misunderstandings... …" Yun Fei took Cheng Feng's words and said to Othello and his party.

The young translator translated Yun Fei's words exactly.

"Mr. Yun, aren't we going to visit your automatic production line next?" Othello didn't understand Yunfei's arrangement.

The automatic production line considers the production accuracy of a production line comprehensively. Yun's Holding does not even use automation and intelligence for finishing and everything, right?If this is the case, who else in the world can prevent this sky-defying company from occupying the entire planet's manufacturing equipment market?

"It is indeed. It's just that when we visit our automated production line, we will pass through our top machining test workshop. Inside, you can see our production equipment for heavy-load cutting, high-speed cutting, etc. Test data. In other words, that is our research area for intelligent equipment like processing centers..." Yunfei explained to Othello with a smile.

Othello estimated that there was not much hope at all in the beginning, or their Rockwell International company's investigation group to China did not just look at their company.

Many of their research and development experiments were created by Jiuyi Heavy Industries, and these were put forward by Yun Fei based on what he knew.But these experiments do have a very big promotion effect on the performance of their products.

Even after seeing some experiments, one can keenly judge where the improvement of their product performance is and what is their future market direction...

However, Yun Fei didn't care about letting outsiders see these things.

They want to catch up with the most advanced manufacturing technology in the world, without comparison, they don't know the gap.What's more, in the high-precision and cutting-edge manufacturing field, not only the technology of the mechanical part can be determined.It also needs the cooperation of materials, electronics, mechanical design, smart chips and many other fields.

Othello has no reason to oppose the situation where he can further understand the strength of his collaborators.

The September 1st Research Institute was not well-known abroad before, but as their 32 industrial control chips appeared on the market, it began to attract the whole world.

Rockwell’s many cutting-edge fields also have a strong demand for high-performance chips. If you can see the research progress of the September 1st Research Institute in this area, it may be of great significance to their loss-making electronics industry. help.

"This is our CNC machine tool experimental workshop. The entire workshop covers an area of ​​12,000 square meters, and is divided into different areas according to different experiments..." Before stepping into a huge workshop far away from the assembly workshop, Yun Fei personally To Othello and his group, he introduced the situation, “Because it belongs to the Jiuyi Research Institute, it is not under the jurisdiction of Jiuyi Heavy Industry or even the Jiuyi Group. Therefore, we hope that everyone can use all the cameras, voice recorders, and electronic equipment on their bodies. Wait for things to be delivered to our staff..."

Look, there is no problem, but you can never take pictures, or leave recordings.

"When entering this workshop, as long as the people who pass through have electronic equipment, our security system will call the police..." Yun Fei was a little disapproved when seeing these guys, he didn't rush to urge, and waited silently there. .

What he meant was obvious, either to hand over these things on his body or not to go in.

After all, many of the projects in it were not made public.

Even if these guys see it, and after speaking out, there is no evidence to let people know where they are, and the outside world can only speculate.What's more, Yun Fei could see from the shocked expressions of Othello and his group that these guys never thought that their technology would be so advanced, and the preparations must not have been done enough, and there was not much professional technology. The personnel are in their investigation group, which is not many.

"Mr. Yun, our itinerary needs to be recorded in detail, and your technical level will also become an important criterion for us to consider whether to cooperate with you. If there is no record, we cannot convince the board members..." Othello's assistant They don't want to hand over the camera and voice recorder in their hands. They don't know the other party's performance parameters or anything!

"This is your business. Because we are not only experimenting with CNC machine tools, we must do these things in order to prevent leaks..." Yun Fei said without any discussion.
