Mold industry has entered the era of "co-production"

 

At the forum, in addition to experts and scholars from the domestic and international mold industry, many heads of local mold companies in Huangyan have also come to the company to seek out the direction of the company's own development and corresponding technical confusion, and also share the precious value of the company's many years of development. experience. Well, what are the dry goods on this forum? The reporter briefly sums it up for everyone.

 

Do a good job in market segmentation

 

Huangyan Mould has a history of more than 60 years, and it is led by automotive molds, including electrical and electronic molds, automobile, electric cars and motorcycle parts molds, plastic daily-use molds, blow molds, building material molds, extrusion molds and corresponding mold parts As the core industrial pattern, the total amount of mold production accounts for about one-tenth of the country, and some outstanding enterprises such as Kaihua Mould and Jingcheng Times are also influential in the industry.

 

Zhejiang Saihao Industrial Co., Ltd.'s automobile headlight molds rank the top three in the world. He Weiping, general manager of Saihao Industry Co., Ltd., shared that the company has been focusing on the development of auto lamp molds since 35 years ago, focusing on the development of industry segmentation. “In the process of focusing on the development of car lamp molds, we paid a lot, reduced the development of other new products, and also abandoned many, but we still resisted the temptation to go to high-precision mold roads and experienced many difficulties before they were in the car. The lamp mold industry has gained popularity."

 

According to an interview with the media, Qin Wei, the secretary general of the China Die and Mould Industry Association, said that after more than 60 years of development, Huang Yan’s mold has become quite competitive. “Industry is stronger, not only after the scale is bigger, but also in the segmentation area to achieve the championship. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also puts forward the concept of single champion of manufacturing, the mold industry is to support other industries, I think that mold enterprises To continue development for a long time, we must focus on the subdivided areas, carefully study manufacturing, and strive to have an absolute advantage in market segments.At present, Huangyan's mold enterprises should strengthen the system construction and do a good job in controlling the three elements of quality, cost, and efficiency. Huangyan's mold is developing better.” Qin Hao revealed that many of Huangyan's mold companies also have the strength to become single champion companies in the manufacturing industry.

 

Leading model guidance, industry development

 

Qin Hao said that the industry has entered a new manufacturing state, an industry integration, collaborative manufacturing era, the mold industry sub-contract package rational distribution, mold companies to market agglomeration. “At present, it is difficult for a mold company to complete an order on its own and needs to be subcontracted to other companies. This also makes the mold industry more cohesive than other industries.”

 

And how to achieve coordinated development, the Honorary President of China Die & Mould Industry Co., Ltd. believes that the exemplary role of leading companies is critical and that leading companies must assume their responsibilities. "Collaboration is a sincere cooperation between companies. To achieve effective complementarity between teams, leading companies must establish a unified standard for cooperative companies, export technology, export management, and share results between companies." Experts at the meeting believe that the mold industry Collaborative development is not only between companies in the same industry, but at the same time, the mold factory and the downstream component OEM must also cooperate.

 

Hao Fuchun, general manager of Beijing BYD Auto Molds, believes that at present, automotive manufacturing is moving in the direction of lightweight. The application of carbon fiber headlights, aluminum wheels and other products is in need of cooperation between mold companies and downstream component OEMs, and cutting-edge technologies. Good docking, exploring the application of new mold materials and adjustment of production processes. "Mould factory must keep up with the development of the main engine plant, must be specialized and intelligent, and upgrade its own professional technology and efficiency."

 

Improve quality and efficiency, intelligent manufacturing, and enhance the industry brand

 

"Intelligent Manufacturing" is positioned as the main direction of China-made 2025. At the forum, how to realize the intelligent manufacturing of the mold industry is also the focus of attention of companies and industry experts.

 

At the meeting, the representatives from Dow Mould Group asked the director of the State Key Laboratory of Materials Molding and Die Technology at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Professor Li Jianjun, how to promote the deep integration of informatization and industrialization.

 

In response, Li Jianjun replied that the key to advancing the in-depth integration of information technology and industrialization is to use information technology to enhance the design level, processing level, and management level of enterprises, use simulation technology to improve design quality, and digital production processes to reduce manual operations on product quality. Intervention, intelligent management mode to reduce the human decision-making process, allowing companies to operate efficiently. Zhao Zhen, professor of Shanghai Jiaotong University and director of the National Engineering Research Center for Die & Mould CAD, believes that at present, the overall application of intelligent tooling in China is still a long way off, and the local intelligence of the technology and production process is also relatively limited. The key to achieving local breakthroughs in the intelligent manufacturing of molds is to lay a solid foundation and establish a good database, such as data analysis and simulation on the basis of new materials, to realize the intelligence of mold manufacturing, and then to improve the product quality.
