There’s additionally a home robotic listed firm in China, that’s Shen Yang Xinsong Automation Firm.
It was listed on the Development Enterprise Market on October 30, 2009. At current, it has a whole industrial chain integrating impartial core expertise, main merchandise of key elements and trade system options.
The corporate has been rated as “Robotic G’s First Engineering Analysis Middle”, “GUO’s Licensed Enterprise Expertise Middle”, “Nationwide 863 Plan Robotic Industrialization Base”, “GUO’s First Postdoctoral Analysis Base”, “The First Batch of 91 Progressive Enterprises in China” “, “Hua Guo Well-known Model”, “Hua Guo Well-known Trademark”, drafted and formulated a lot of nationwide and trade requirements… By way of honors, there are too many.
The corporate at the moment has a R&D and innovation workforce of three to 4 thousand individuals. On the identical time, it has sturdy technical energy counting on the Shen Yang Automation Analysis Institute of the Chinese language Academy of Sciences. It has industrial robots, cell robots, particular robots, collaborative robots, and medical service robots with impartial mental property rights. There are greater than 100 sorts of merchandise in 5 collection.
Xinghai Group’s industrial robotic analysis workforce of greater than 100 individuals has solely developed one XH1400 arc welding robotic to date. By way of product scale and class, Xinghai Group actually can’t evaluate with Xinsong Firm.
Nevertheless, Xinsong remains to be the youthful brother in entrance of the 4 main manufacturers of business robots, and he isn’t even ranked internationally. In any case, along with the 4 main manufacturers of business robots, there are different worldwide manufacturers of business robots.
By way of industrial robots, Xinsong is especially low-end model robots, which can’t compete with the 4 main manufacturers of business robots.
In actual fact, even when Xinghai Group produces arc welding robots, it is not going to kind fierce competitors with Xinsong. Xinsong has many product fashions and isn’t restricted to industrial robots. Even when there is no such thing as a arc welding robotic enterprise, at most 5% of the enterprise That is all.
Xinghai Group is concentrating on the arc welding robots of the 4 main manufacturers of robots. It’s best to drive OTC overseas, after which seize orders for abroad OTC arc welding machines, and set up the world’s primary place in arc welding robots.
Now, Xinghai Group is engaged in scientific analysis tasks, and if it has not accomplished mass manufacturing and gross sales, it is not going to disclose analysis and growth info to the surface world.
Furthermore, the Xinghai Group has stored the expertise secret very nicely, and this can be very tough to show it. In fact, it doesn’t imply that it’ll not be leaked.
In actual fact, the OTC firm nonetheless inquired concerning the analysis and growth progress of Xinghai Group’s industrial robots by way of some channels, and the corporate’s executives have been very panicked once they realized about it.
The highest executives of this firm are all islanders, and solely the grassroots administration will use Chinese language individuals.
“In keeping with the informant’s suggestions, the Xinghai Group has developed its personal industrial robotic, and it’s utilized to the arc welding robotic. I feel, for sure, it have to be aimed toward our OTC arc welding robotic.” OTC technical director mentioned with a severe face.
“Are you certain? What is the progress?” requested Ichiro Yamamoto, the overall supervisor of OTC Huaguo, sitting on a chair with a tragic face. Up to now two years, his head has extra grey hair, and his complete physique can be outdated. quite a bit.
“It has been decided, however the particular progress remains to be unclear. We solely realized about it by way of peripheral personnel, and we can’t peek into associated applied sciences.”
Ichiro Yamamoto requested solemnly: “Everybody, what countermeasures are there?”
A number of high-level executives within the convention room have been silent, they usually withdrew from the Huaguo market ultimately, feeling very helpless.
The Xinghai Group is just too sturdy, leaving no room for it.
Worth warfare?
This measure is of no use. OTC and varied arc welding machine manufacturers have already lowered their costs. Xinghai Group has not lowered their costs, however as an alternative raised them. Up to now few years, gross sales have remained buoyant, and a machine is uncommon within the second-hand market.
“We appear to have ignored an issue. With the energy of the Xinghai Group, they’re totally able to occupying all the market, however they haven’t expanded their manufacturing capability and have maintained a sure market share. You say, what are they nervous about?” Technical Director ask questions.
“It is undoubtedly not a scarcity of funds. Xinghai Group shouldn’t be wanting funds, or the personnel workforce cannot sustain. Within the early days, I believed that the personnel couldn’t sustain, nevertheless it has been so lengthy.”
“Are they nervous about triggering the anti-monopoly legislation? Is not this a bit humorous?” The technical director mentioned one thing that even he could not consider it.
“How a lot market share does Xinghai Group occupy now?” Yamamoto Ichiro requested Gross sales Director Akai.
Akai thought for some time, and mentioned, “Should not the 50% triggering of the anti-monopoly legislation be right?”
“Snapped!”
Ichiro Yamamoto slammed the desk and mentioned angrily:
“What ought to it’s? Did not you severely examine the competitor’s market scenario? You did not even work out the competitor’s scenario. OTC has occupied the market so simply these years, so that you just overlook that we nonetheless have rivals.”
Everybody noticed Ichiro Yamamoto getting offended, after which checked out Akai’s barely embarrassed face, and did not need to clarify something.
“Sure, it’s certainly my downside, the statistics are usually not correct sufficient.” Akai bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
Ichiro Yamamoto took a deep breath, feeling that it was fallacious to get offended. This isn’t an issue with the gross sales division or the technical division, however that the rivals are too highly effective.
“Severely examine, if it actually exceeds 50%, I feel we must always have the ability to sue Xinghai Group for violating the anti-monopoly legislation. Nevertheless, within the land of Huaguo, I haven’t got any hope of profitable. Huaguo ZF helps Xinghai The event of the group was not a couple of years in the past.”
Ichiro Yamamoto mentioned, after hesitating for some time, he mentioned, “If Xinghai Group is admittedly nervous about triggering the anti-monopoly legislation after which controlling the manufacturing capability of arc welding robots, we are able to certainly survive. Nevertheless, after Xinghai Group aggressively entered the arc welding robotic market, Our international orders might be considerably diminished.”
Ichiro Yamamoto didn’t say the rest. If the market share exceeds 50%, it refers to at least one operator. If the Xinghai Group licenses expertise to friends, and the market share of the three operators doesn’t exceed 75%, it is not going to set off the anti-monopoly legislation. .
Because of this, OTC corporations actually don’t have any method out.
Now, Ichiro Yamamoto had to consider retreating.
Until it’s mentioned that it may cooperate with Xinghai Group.
…
On the finish of November, the event and debugging of XH1400 was profitable. Mu Yang actually jumped out of the economic robotic challenge. He did not know the ideas of OTC firm’s prime administration. Even when he knew, find out how to develop arc welding robots was Zhou Chen’s enterprise.
Mu Yang spent a couple of days leisurely together with his two infants at house, after which devoted himself to a brand new scientific analysis challenge.
Earlier than New 12 months’s Day, he had just one R&D focus, and that was CNC machine instruments.
The corporate has made main breakthroughs in servo motors, bearings and screw rods, and numerical management programs, laying the inspiration for manufacturing top-notch CNC machine instruments.
Because the saying goes, trade is the brightest flower within the historical past of human civilization.
Amongst them, supplies science and ultra-high-precision machine instruments are also called the “mom of trade”.
Within the area of ultra-high-precision machine instruments, it’s primarily dominated by international locations such because the island nation, the German nation, the gorgeous nation, and the Swiss, particularly the businesses within the island nation, that are within the prime place on this respect.
It’s mentioned that the economic grasp machine (NC machine device) is vital, however many individuals cannot inform the place it is vital.
It’s not to say that the market measurement of CNC machine instruments is about 100 billion US {dollars} globally, which isn’t a lot for the nation.
Within the remaining evaluation, it primarily is determined by the position it performs.
Within the area of recent trade, machine instruments undoubtedly play an especially vital position, as small as a screw, pots and pans, and as giant as the event of satellite tv for pc plane carriers within the aerospace area, they can’t be separated from the machine device;
It may be mentioned that with out CNC machine instruments, we can’t be an industrial energy.
The service lifetime of machine instruments may be very lengthy. It may be used for ten years. Whether it is nicely maintained, it is not going to be an issue to make use of it for thirty or forty years.
Many machining factories are nonetheless utilizing machine instruments from the Seventies and Nineteen Eighties, most of them are from the Nineteen Nineties, not solely in small factories, but additionally in giant enterprises.
The service life may be very lengthy, the alternative is sluggish, and the annual market measurement is small, which is why it’s totally different from fast-moving merchandise.
Due to this fact, the market measurement is small, nevertheless it doesn’t imply that it isn’t vital.
Alternatively, CNC machine instruments are very easy to do, however high-end CNC machine instruments are way more tough than we imagined.
Correct to 1 micron, or correct to 1 nanometer, straight determines my
Whether or not their merchandise can earn 100 yuan, or a thousand yuan, and even ten thousand yuan.
The development of the precision of CNC machine instruments is a means of long-term expertise accumulation and steady iteration.
It takes greater than 20 years for every order of magnitude enchancment in machining accuracy.
Even, the nation regards industrial mom machines as extra vital than semiconductors, chips and lithography machines.
The backwardness of semiconductors is nothing greater than a bigger cell phone and a smaller card. As Huawei mentioned, it doesn’t contain survival points, however price points, course of points, and time points. Nevertheless, if the economic grasp machine falls behind, it signifies that the effectivity of all the manufacturing trade and the added worth fall behind.
Foreigners make rockets, we make bazookas, others make antennas, we make Teletubbies.
The recognition of good terminals is inseparable from the work of high-end machine instruments. The dearth of high-end beds will even delay the tempo of getting into the period of the Web of Issues.
The position of different facets is just too vital for our large manufacturing nation.
For varied causes, that is additionally the rationale why Mu Yang desires to resolve the nation’s prime CNC machine instruments by himself.
If Mu Yang did not grasp up, it could be tough for him to vary this example.
At current, a lot of the elements and software program of Xinghai Group’s CNC machine instruments are independently developed and produced, such because the machine device physique, column, spindle, feed mechanism and different mechanical elements of the primary engine, the software program programming of the CNC gadget, the servo motor and system of the drive gadget , electrical programs, and cooling, chip elimination, lubrication, lighting and monitoring of auxiliary units.
In fact, the lighting, instruments and monitoring {hardware} of auxiliary units are outsourced, and the {hardware} of information units akin to printed circuit boards and CRT displays are additionally outsourced.
For CNC machine instruments, the info gadget is the core, and the {hardware} might be outsourced, however the software program half, such because the storage of enter info, knowledge conversion, interpolation calculation, and realization of varied management features, and many others., is the core.
As well as, there’s a drive system, such because the completion of positioning, processing operations of straight traces, airplane curves and area curves, and many others.
In any case, it’s the program and algorithm, and this half can be accomplished by Mu Yang.
The remaining might be accomplished by the R&D personnel of the challenge workforce.
CNC machine device laboratory.
A number of algorithm engineers noticed the chairman working the software program system in particular person, and once they discovered an issue, they straight modified it on the related laptop computer. Though they have been algorithm engineers, they nonetheless could not perceive some logic of a collection of information and algorithms.
In different phrases, he understood the superficial which means of every paragraph of textual content, however he didn’t perceive the precise features and meanings of the related textual content content material.
It’s not that they aren’t good at it. If these algorithm engineers work in Warwick or different Web corporations, they can even be a bunch of geniuses, with an annual earnings of 1 million.
“Are you able to perceive?” Mu Yang requested the employees subsequent to him with a smile whereas working.
“I perceive some, however a lot of the logic nonetheless would not perceive.” An algorithm engineer mentioned embarrassingly.
“To be trustworthy, I do not perceive quite a bit. Chairman, your calculation is just too superior.”
“Properly, if I did not know the way highly effective you might be, the chairman, I’d really feel what I’ve carried out all these years.”
Up to now few days, these workers have change into acquainted with Mu Yang and know that the chairman is an all-round genius, and a genius amongst geniuses.
Mu Yang laughed: “It is regular should you do not perceive, some algorithms and operation logic are actually troublesome, I can solely provide you with a common introduction.”
“To begin with, we have to perceive how the gear works, let’s speak concerning the device change program. When beginning the device change, the spindle should cease operating first, cease the sign suggestions, and test whether or not the device is able to be clamped and whether or not it has handed the take a look at…
In fact, that is solely comparatively easy. The primary motive is that I’ve added a variety of new algorithms, which you’ve by no means seen in the marketplace, so it’s regular to say that you just can’t perceive them. “
Mu Yang eloquently mentioned that there are lots of sorts of device change packages, and which one to decide on beneath any circumstances have to be programmed.
Algorithm engineers are required to know the operation means of the machine device, in any other case, if they do not even perceive the logic, they can’t program.
Perhaps there are engineers who’re aware of machine instruments who can write logic, however do not know find out how to write packages.
Algorithm engineers get it fallacious too.
That is simply one of many necessities. The extra difficult ones additionally contain electrical, hydraulic, monitoring, fixtures, pictures, and many others., which require a really sturdy logical capability to straighten out.
People who find themselves not good at arithmetic could not have the ability to perceive comparatively easy logic.
For instance, if Messi desires to go the ball to his opponent, he can go the ball to 10 teammates. The issue is, beneath what circumstances, which teammate to go the ball to, it is rather difficult to specific it in a program.
As well as, Mu Yang additionally used his new algorithm, which is why these workers could not perceive it.
“Oh, in order that’s it. Chairman, you might be an knowledgeable in arithmetic. Did you utilize your individual algorithm?”
“Fool, did not the chairman say simply now {that a} new algorithm has been added, who else may it’s besides the chairman created it himself.”
“Sure, sure, fascinated.”
Amongst these algorithm engineers, the oldest shouldn’t be but 37 years outdated, and the youngest can be 30 years outdated. They’re all older than Mu Yang, however in entrance of Mu Yang, they’re like a bunch of elementary faculty college students.
In fact, from the surface, Mu Yang is a major faculty pupil. Two of those algorithm engineers are already bald, they usually all look 40 years outdated.
Whereas working, Mu Yang roughly defined the 2 algorithms to those workers.
The opposite workers within the laboratory are busy with different issues, they usually do not need to get near be taught the book-like stuff that day, it is an excessive amount of headache, they usually cannot be taught it.
“I need not say extra concerning the significance of CNC machine instruments. You have to take note of it. Whether or not the top-notch home CNC machine instruments can stand up is determined by you. Our nation has been oppressed by foreigners for too lengthy.” Mu Yang mentioned severely.
There are a lot of manufacturers of CNC machine instruments. In keeping with the trade model rating, there are MAZAK, TRUMPF, DMGMORI, MGA, AMADA, OKUMA, MAKINO, and GROB. Lauber et al.
Island international locations accounted for 4 seats, adopted by Germany.
For instance, home Shen Yang machine instruments, Dalian machine instruments, and Jier machine are comparatively well-known in China, however they’ll solely be ranked outdoors the highest ten on the planet.
Like Mazak, the island nation was based in 1919. It has amassed expertise for 100 years, and it has developed many years greater than my nation’s machine instruments.
Any high-end expertise requires an extended interval of analysis and growth and precipitation, and regularly climbs up from low to excessive, slightly than in a single day.
In fact, even when Mu Yang, the hacker, can shorten a variety of time, he nonetheless begins from the fundamentals.
Shen Yang Machine Instrument was established in 1933, however in that period of complicated setting, till 1978, the event was extraordinarily sluggish, and the output worth final yr was only some hundred million yuan.
It may be mentioned that Yamazaki Mazak is the chief of CNC machine instruments, with an annual income of about 4 billion US {dollars}, beating Trumpf, Magazine, Amada and different producers, rating first in income and much forward of the second place.
The market measurement of the worldwide CNC machine device trade is US$100 billion, and it’ll simply break by way of to US$140 billion within the subsequent 5 years.
The Huaguo market may be very giant, accounting for 25%-30%, second solely to the island international locations.
Nevertheless, it must be famous that the majority of my nation’s machine device trade is concentrated within the low-end area, and efforts are nonetheless wanted in ultra-high-precision machine instruments.
From Yamazaki Mazak, associated corporations in our nation can be taught quite a bit, akin to technological innovation, emphasis on staff’ standing, focus, and so forth.
In a phrase, it is going to take a very long time for our nation to meet up with corporations in island international locations, Europe and the USA within the area of ultra-high-precision machine instruments.
Even by 2022, this established order is not going to change a lot, it may solely be mentioned to be barely higher.
Mu Yang briefly talked about the overall scenario of worldwide CNC machine instruments to those algorithm engineers.
Different workers heard the chairman speak about these subjects and listened carefully.
“The islanders are actually good at CNC machine instruments,” mentioned a mechanical engineer.
Mu Yang nodded: “Sure, we’ve got to admire him, and we have to be taught from one another’s strengths.
For instance, Yamazaki Mazak, they didn’t relaxation on their laurels within the growth course of, however actively carried out technological innovation and stored up with the cutting-edge growth of the instances.
As early because the late Nineteen Nineties, it started to construct clever factories, integrating info expertise and Web expertise on machine instruments.
If you consider it, the financial system solely recovered within the Nineteen Nineties, and even the Web developed comparatively slowly. We use it in our day by day life, and folks have already considered making use of it to machine instruments. “
“Alternatively, they connect nice significance to the coaching and enchancment of staff’ expertise. Merely put, the corporate attaches nice significance to the standing of staff.
This strategy can drastically mobilize the passion of staff, and obtain a win-win scenario for workers and the corporate. “
“Chairman, our firm has carried out job on this space I do not assume any firm has carried out higher than us.”
Mu Yang mentioned: “We will solely say that it isn’t unhealthy, there are nonetheless many areas for enchancment.
However in different home factories, even a lot of the equipment factories, the employees don’t dwell nicely. They don’t get time beyond regulation pay for time beyond regulation work, particularly meals. To place it harshly, in some factories, livestock eat higher than individuals.
In high-precision machine instruments, if the employees are usually not in state, the components are processed casually, and the standard inspectors examine them casually. It’s regular for the standard to fail. Due to this fact, when it comes to high quality management, many areas have to be improved.
Many enterprises in our nation promote 5S administration, which can be a administration methodology launched from the island nation. In some factories, the boss could not perceive 5S, or the understanding is comparatively shallow. He thinks it’s only a kind for outsiders to see, which is ineffective. .
Since our firm was first established with dozens of individuals, we’ve got paid nice consideration to the applying of 5S, so that everybody can develop behavior. After a couple of years, it has change into a tradition of our Xinghai Group. It’s a lot simpler to handle. . “
Everybody listened fastidiously to Mu Yang’s phrases, similar to listening to a narrative, and realized a variety of new issues.
