Big Country Intelligent Manufacturing

After the product launch, the situation in the domestic market was as expected by Xu Zhenming, and the response was not great.People in the domestic business community are not sensitive and pay insufficient attention to new things.

Because of this, Xu Zhenming returned to the company headquarters and held a discussion meeting on new product development.Zhang Guoli, who is in charge of mobile phone design, He Changlin, who is in charge of embedded equipment design, and Zhou Jiawei, who is in charge of chip design, all led the team members to the meeting.

The large conference room at the headquarters of Yiming Group is full of people. It should be said that the top group of engineers in the country are sitting here to participate in this far-reaching technical discussion meeting.

When everyone was seated, they flipped through the technical information sent to them.

Xu Zhenming said slowly: "Dear colleagues, all the materials about the application development of the Xuanniao embedded operating system have been sent to your hands. Let's discuss how the smart products of Yiming Group can go? "

Xu Zhenming has three product ideas.

One is to develop a chipset that can integrate XuanNiao embedded operating system.This chipset is mainly applied to industrial-grade product inventions.For example, smart chipsets for CNC machine tools, chipsets for smart production lines, etc.

Once this product is successfully developed, domestic companies will no longer stare at MSC51, YM32-bit microcontrollers and other chips.In view of the fact that the employees of our domestic automation companies are relatively conservative, the smart chipset should have the characteristics of powerful transplantation and simple application development.

"I agree with Xu Dong's view. If we did not develop YM32 single-chip microcomputer, domestic automation companies would still use MSC51 single-chip microcomputer. These companies are seeking stability and being conservative."

"Minister Wang's point of view hit the nail on the head. People like them have this attitude."

As soon as Xu Zhenming's speech was over, Wang Zhizhong's team members expressed their views.They are mainly engaged in the development of chip applications and have a good understanding of the current situation of domestic automation companies.

The views of these people are also highly consistent with Xu Zhenming.

In another time and space, Chinese people used MSC51 single-chip microcomputer for decades.One is because the chip performance of this single-chip microcomputer is reliable.The second reason is determined by the thinking mode of the practitioners.This situation did not change until the chip technology was greatly changed and the smart chip technology appeared.

Now that everyone has the same views, Xu Zhenming arranged the task on the spot.

"Minister Wang Zhizhong served as the project leader of this subject, mainly to assist Zhou Jiawei's team members to do project research and development. As for the code name of the new generation of smart chipsets, we will call them YM-AI chips."

After arranging the first task, Xu Zhenming then talked about his thoughts, "The second research and development idea is the smart chipset for PDA. As for the PDA, everyone has a Palm sample in hand. Now, let’s talk about your opinions. "

As Xu Zhenming finished speaking, an enlarged PDA picture was displayed on the wall of the conference room.

This kind of PDA is selling crazy in the U.S. For one thousand dollars a unit, it sold 300,000 units this year.Xu Zhenming fancy this kind of product, in fact, it is not jealous of other people's product sales, but PDA this product is the future development direction.

In fact, Palm’s PDA is actually very rudimentary, with only simple functions such as business card holder, notepad, calendar, alarm clock, and agenda arrangement manager.This monochromatic PAD was later imitated by Mingshi Company in China and adopted a more popular name called "Business Assistant".

"Xu Dong, I don't think this product has much technical content. The key is how to control costs."

"I also agree with Mr. Zhou. According to my vision, this product should be made into a 256-color color LCD screen. Or a 16K color LCD screen will look high-end."

"I don't agree with Mr. Zhou. If we use color LCD screens to make PDAs, how much will our product cost?"

"Yes, yes, there is no market for the products made, what's the point?"

In the conference room, almost all the engineers are playing with their PDA.

They think that the American PAD grade is not good, and Yiming Group can make this kind of product technically.But cost control is a bit problematic. If according to their design plan, the cost of the PDA produced by Yiming Group will reach four to five thousand yuan.

In this way, is there a market for Yiming Group's PDA?

Everyone doubted this scheme.

At this time, Xu Zhenming didn't think so.

"We are going to make taller products. It doesn't matter if the price is a little bit higher, it must be high-end." He waved his hand decisively and decided to use 256 color LCD screens.

In his view, Huaguoneng's people who consume such high-end electronic products are generally big bosses.And those big bosses are willing to spend twenty to thirty thousand for a big brother, why don't they want to buy this kind of business assistant?

After finalizing the PAD plan of Yiming Group, the following product plan is more important.

If there is no change, Windows will launch a mobile phone that integrates WindowsCE next year.This phone should be the earliest smart phone, but unfortunately it was not accepted by the market.The market will gradually accept this kind of smartphones until Dopod of Bay Bay launches another such high-end mobile phone.

Therefore, when Xu Zhenming launched his own smart phone solution, Zhang Guoli, who was responsible for the design of the PDA project, had doubts, "Xu Dong, according to your idea. How much do we sell for this smart phone?" This is very important and it is related to YM. Cost accounting for smartphones.

"A PHS will sell for more than 6,000 now, and this YM smart phone will sell for at least about 12,000. The price is too low and no grade, but there is no market." Xu Zhenming believes that the product grade gap should be created and customers can do it themselves. Choose high-end mobile phones.His thinking is actually tested by the market.

In another time and space, the price of each mobile phone released by Nokia and Motorola is several times that of domestic mobile phones.But other people's products are booming.In addition to other people's products doing well, this also has to do with domestic consumer psychology.

For example, since Apple launched the iPhone series of mobile phones, there have even been rumors in China that iPhones must be used for kidney sales.What does this show?Consumers in China actually like to follow suit and use mobile phones to demonstrate their financial strength.

Therefore, Xu Zhenming is unambiguous, positioning the YM smartphone to be developed as a high-end consumer electronic product.The higher the price, the better the product might sell.

Of course, this kind of mobile phone must support two standards, one is GSM network, the other is PHS network.

Hearing this, Zhang Guoli's brows suddenly stretched out, "Xu Dong, our team is okay. It's just a gap now, and there is time to develop these two smart mobile terminals."

He told Xu Zhenming that the first mobile phone supporting GSM network of Yiming Group has completed the research and development work.Now, just wait for the demonstration and go through the network access procedures.

For the mobile phone Zhang Guoli mentioned, Xu Zhenming once participated in the product demonstration and found many problems.

Xu Zhenming is also very happy that this integrated many of the world's first mobile phones has finally completed the demonstration in the laboratory.He decided to take time to have a look, and once the argument passed, he would immediately prepare to send it to the Capital Post and Telecommunications Administration.If time is available, it’s best to release it nationwide on October 1st.

Therefore, after Xu Zhenming arranged the three R&D tasks, he couldn't wait to go to Zhang Guoli's laboratory to take a look at the prototype of the new mobile phone.

At this time, Hong Aiguo, who was in charge of the five-axis linkage CNC machine tool project, stopped Xu Zhenming, "Xu Dong, our gantry-type heavy-duty five-axis linkage CNC machine tool has completed the final assembly and preliminary commissioning. Next, our work should be The staff of Longbow Group is invited to do product demonstration and review."

Hong Aiguo reported the situation with Xu Zhenming with a smile on his face, and had to take Xu Zhenming to look at the five-axis CNC machine tool.

"Well, well, let's go to the CNC machine tool factory first." Xu Zhenming had no choice but to follow Hong Aiguo to the experimental workshop of the CNC machine tool factory.

On the way, Hong Aiguo smiled and reported to Xu Zhenming, "Xu Dong and Li Yao called and said that the development and trial production of air bearings for 5-axis CNC machine tools are progressing very quickly, and they will be shipped to us this month. ."

"Eh? Hehe... he's not bad." Xu Zhenming couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this. He stopped and looked back at Hong Aiguo.

He did not expect that Li Yao's speed was so fast that he would take out the matching air bearing so early.In other words, this kind of bearing is definitely a sophisticated product in China.Even if it is placed internationally, it is considered a top product, and few countries can make it.

Xu Zhenming is more happy about this.He is not happy about the next generation of 5-axis CNC machine tools, but because of Li Yao's breakthrough in the weak Chinese project.This breakthrough is the same as Yiming Group's five-axis linkage CNC machine tool project, which is gratifying.

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone and called Li Yao, "Mr. Li, I heard that your air bearing has broken through, congratulations."

"Hehehe...Xu Dong, I also made the air bearings used in the transmission system of the lithography machine. The current test data is very good. After the aging test for half a month, I am going to personally deliver it to the group company headquarters. "At this time, another news came from the phone that made Xu Zhenming even more pleasantly surprised.

Two types of air bearings are made together, which is definitely good news for Yiming Group.Not only will the research and development time of the second-generation five-axis CNC machine tools be much shorter, the research and development progress of the lithography machine will also be much earlier.

Mindful of this, after hanging up the phone, Xu Zhenming immediately called Gui Changshu of the capital, first confirmed the CNC machine tool project, and then concentrated on the third-generation lithography machine.

"President Gui, our five-axis linkage CNC machine tool project has been completed. When can you arrange someone to inspect and demonstrate?" Xu Zhenming discussed with Gui Changshu to immediately start arranging the project acceptance work, and strive to be in October A product launch conference will be held on the 1st National Day.

The release of five-axis linkage CNC machine tools on that day is of great significance. It can tell similar manufacturers around the world, "If you blockade it is useless, Chinese people are not afraid of technical blockade."

Xu Zhenming also wanted to talk to the Americans specifically to blow out the anger in his heart.

But then again.If there are no Americans who are pushing China so much, can Yiming Group still have the motivation to develop 5-axis CNC machine tools?For example, in another time and space, if the "CITIC Incident" and "Huawei Incident" did not occur in China, would the Chinese still attach importance to chip manufacturing?

Therefore, it is good for the Americans to persecute.At least Xu Zhenming does not consider the attitudes and products of Americans at all. To make a smart product, he must make a closed loop.

"Hahaha...Xu Dong, I will fly to your group company with my team members tomorrow." At this time, Gui Changshu's laughter came from the phone.He was happier than Xu Zhenming, and his voice was so loud that Xu Zhenming's ears were almost deafened.

Xu Zhenming knew that this old man had a rather anxious temper, so he didn't greet him any more, so he hung up the phone after discussing the procedures of project acceptance and demonstration.

At this time, they have come to the constant temperature CNC machine tool test workshop.

The temperature in the room is exactly around 20 degrees, slightly lower than the outside.It is more suitable to process precision workpieces in this environment.Besides, the working environment of five-axis linkage CNC machine tools is very strict, and it is necessary to do project acceptance and demonstration in this environment.

For example, the foundation of the machine tool must be an anti-vibration trench, the workshop of the machine tool must have the ability to prevent strong magnetic interference, and the workshop of the machine tool must not have strong vibration sources and substations, etc.In a word, this kind of equipment is more delicate and expensive, so it can't be used to process precision spare parts.

In the workshop, a group of engineers in white coats are collecting test data for this gantry type heavy five-axis CNC machine tool.

They need to test the accuracy of the machine's repeated positioning, overload test, accumulated working time test, deformation test of the machine base after long working hours, vibration test of the machine body, etc. etc.

"Reported to Dong Xu, these data are currently normal. The repeat positioning accuracy of the machine tool fluctuates between 0.005-0.008, which has exceeded our expectations." At this time, Hong Aiguo's assistant saw Xu Zhenming coming and quickly took a Please review the stack of reports by Xu Zhenming.

The data summary of the intelligent test instrumentation terminal on the report head is summarized by the analysis software of the CNC machine tool test workstation.This kind of report is very vivid, with graphs, data reports, etc.

Xu Zhenming turned a few pages, and a smile appeared on his face, "You are doing a good job. Only this kind of CNC machine tool testing workstation can declare an invention patent."

He didn't brag at all.This kind of high-precision test workstation, sensor, test software, test data model analysis software, etc., constitute a set of test data system.There is certainly no domestic product; foreign countries can have similar products, but the performance may not be so complete.

The research and development of this kind of test system and project supporting research and development have always been the habit of the scientific research team of Yiming Group.Domestic and foreign counterparts rarely do this.

Xu Zhenming suspected that Gui Changshu's team would definitely buy a few sets after seeing this kind of good stuff.
