Smart Industrial Empire

"This, this..." Hearing Cheng Feng's introduction, a group of Americans really felt that they were a bit overwhelmed.

Is this still in mainland China?

Such an advanced production model, such a harmonious human-machine coordinated production, even among the most advanced manufacturing companies in the United States, not many companies are willing to spend huge costs on such production!How high this cost is, the person in charge of the general industry department of Rockwell International, which also has a very high status in the field of automation, cannot possibly not know.

What they are involved in is professional automation in a certain field, rather than open automation as they see in front of them.

"At present, these technologies are not very familiar, and the role played by 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, They are the top workers in our country, more than 70.00% of them are our senior technicians and above, among them, the proportion of technicians and senior technicians accounts for one-third of the entire assembly workshop..." It seems that these people in front of them are running around everywhere The impact of the robots on these Americans was not strong enough, and Cheng Feng began to throw out a statistic that made the 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 adopt a pyramid structure to reasonably match skilled workers of various levels to reduce production costs.After all, the better the skills of skilled workers, the higher the labor remuneration required.

"Cheng, may I ask, how much of your labor cost is your production cost?" No matter how cheap China's high-level skilled workers are, it's not enough for this crazy Chinese nouveau riche to do such a thing?

The labor cost of manufacturing enterprises originally occupies a large proportion.For units with higher skills, the proportion of labor costs will be larger.

"Less than 5.00%. Because our workers are senior technicians with rich technical experience, they far exceed ordinary workers in various aspects such as production efficiency..." Cheng Feng replied without hesitation.

Their company apparently pays workers a very high annual cost.But their staffing here is much less, and most of the workers' wages are raised by working overtime.Overtime pay and so on are not based on the usual times and weekend times that are stipulated by the state.

Performance!

"We don't have many other things in China, but we have a large population." Yun Fei said with a smile.

Although the United States is large, its population is far worse than that of China, and their number of factories far exceeds that of China. High-skilled technical workers must be accumulated over time, in a country like the United States.Skilled workers are not the choice of most people.China is different. China is a country where workers and peasants are the masters of the country!

Although there are so many doubts in his heart, Othello also knows that it is impossible for the Chinese to solve all these doubts for him.After all, many of them involve the company's commercial secrets.It is very kind to him to be able to tell him how much the company's labor costs account for.

"Mr. Othello, in front of this is our three-axis machining center assembly workshop, and all the workers in it are mid-level or above skilled workers..."

"This is our four-axis machining center assembly workshop. The minimum technical level of all workers is above senior workers..."

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

For such an introduction, Othello and his party have become numb.Such a situation is absolutely rare in the whole world.Even, it is only possible to see such a unique thing in Jiuyi Heavy Industry!

This is too flamboyant, too wasteful.

In Jiuyi Heavy Industry, all kinds of senior technical workers seem to be Chinese cabbage on the roadside.How much money a car can buy at will...

In the United States, such situations are rare, even in their top manufacturing companies like Rockwell International.Such cases are also rare.Even their automated equipment production and aerospace product production plants cannot achieve such a level!If they did, the high cost could even put them out of business.

The difference in technical level between high-skilled technical workers and ordinary workers is not easy to define, but in terms of production efficiency, it is impossible to triple or quadruple, but labor costs are definitely more than triple or quadruple.

"Mr. Cheng Feng, you don't need to introduce us about the technical level of your workers. What we want to know is the processing accuracy and service life of these equipments, which are actually related to our production costs..." Othello's assistant After finally recovering from the shock of such criminal waste by the Chinese, I realized that along the way, the other party did not introduce these performance parameters of their equipment to them at all.

It seems that the tour itinerary here is over.

"For performance parameters, we think that instead of explaining to everyone with boring data here, it is better to let everyone visit and introduce them at our finishing production site. Only in this way can there be an intuitive explanation to avoid misunderstandings and so on... ..." Yun Fei took Cheng Feng's words and said to Othello and his group.

The young translator translated Yun Fei's words exactly.

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

An automatic production line comprehensively considers the production accuracy of a production line. Does Yun's Holdings not even use automation and intelligence for finishing?If this is the case, who else in this world can prevent this heaven-defying company from occupying the entire earth's manufacturing equipment market?

"Indeed. It's just that on the way to visit our automated production line, we will pass by our top-level machining test workshop. Inside, you can see our production equipment for heavy-duty cutting, high-speed cutting and other tests and Experimental data. In other words, that is our research area for intelligent equipment like machining centers..." Yun Fei explained to Othello with a smile.

Othello probably didn't have much hope at the beginning, or their Rockwell International company's inspection team to China didn't just look at their company.

Many of their research and development experiments were created by Jiuyi Heavy Industry, and these were proposed by Yun Fei based on what he knew.But these experiments have really greatly promoted the performance of their products.

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

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

They want to strive 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 field of high-precision and cutting-edge manufacturing, it is not only the technology of the mechanical part that can be determined.It also requires the cooperation of materials, electronics, mechanical design, smart chips and many other fields.

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

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

In many cutting-edge fields of Rockwell, the demand for high-performance chips is also extremely strong. If we can see the research progress of Jiuyi Research Institute in this area, it may have a great impact on their loss-making electronics industry. help.

"This is our CNC machine tool experimental workshop. The entire workshop covers an area of ​​1 square meters and is divided into different areas according to different experiments..." Before stepping into a huge workshop far away from the assembly workshop, Yunfei himself Introduced the situation to Othello and his group, "Because it belongs to Jiuyi Research Institute and is not under the jurisdiction of Jiuyi Heavy Industry or even Jiuyi Group, we hope that everyone can put all cameras, recording pens, and electronic equipment on their bodies. Wait for things to be handed over to our staff..."

Look, there's no problem, but you absolutely can't take pictures, and you can't leave recordings or anything.

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

His meaning is very obvious, either hand over these things on your body, or don't go in.

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

Even if these guys saw it, after they said it, there was no evidence, no way for people to know what step they had taken, and the outside world could only guess wildly.What's more, Yun Fei can see from the astonished expressions of Othello's group that these guys never thought that their technology would be so advanced, and the preparation work must not be sufficient, and there is not much professional technology deployed. The personnel are in their small investigation group.

"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 we can't record it, we have no way to convince the board members..." Othello's assistant They are unwilling to hand over the camera and voice recorder in their hands, because they don't know the performance parameters of the other party!

"This is your business. Because we are not only doing experimental research on CNC machine tools, in order to prevent leaks, these things must be done..." Yun Fei said that it was not negotiable at all. (To be continued..)
