Replacing the demographic dividend with a machine dividend is both a forced response to the current labor situation and a proactive choice for many companies to upgrade and transform.


 

 

Current Status of Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Development

 

 

 

 

 

Currently, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have become a fundamental force driving national economic development, forming the main body of the market economy, and promoting social stability. However, SMEs are relatively small in scale, with low product quality and technological content, resulting in poor market competitiveness and limited market influence. SMEs have weak capabilities in collecting and analyzing market information and are unable to promptly identify changes in economic conditions, financial environments, and industrial trends, resulting in weak risk resistance. The continuously rising prices of raw materials and labor costs, the shortage of skilled workers, worker safety issues, and limited resources are the main factors hindering enterprise development and profitability. According to Zhejiang Province's monitoring of thousands of industrial enterprises, in the first quarter of 2019, 67.6% of enterprises believed that rapidly rising costs were the primary issue restricting enterprise development, with labor costs being the main factor in rising enterprise costs.

As China enters an aging society, the gradual disappearance of the demographic dividend, and the emergence of "recruitment difficulties" and "labor shortages" have become commonplace, especially in labor-intensive industries. Labor shortages and high labor costs are increasingly becoming a problem for China's small and micro enterprises.

Machine Replacement to Solve Labor Shortages

How can enterprises solve this problem? Machine replacement is the best choice; using the machine dividend to replace the demographic dividend is both a forced response to the current employment situation and a proactive choice for many enterprises to upgrade and transform. Robots have unparalleled advantages in terms of accuracy and work efficiency compared to manual labor.

"Machine replacement" brings not only challenges but also opportunities for development.

Industrial robots can help SMEs reduce costs and maintain competitiveness, making them more competitive in terms of price. Investment in automation usually requires a long-term perspective. Automation equipment is not so unattainable, but SMEs need to make up their minds and keep up with the times to maintain competitiveness in the industry. Production line automation is already a trend of the times; enterprises that do not know how to keep up with the times will find it difficult to achieve great success.

What are the benefits of production automation for enterprises?

Automation has many potential benefits for small and medium-sized enterprises, such as: more precise operations can reduce unit costs, and stronger capabilities allow enterprises to easily increase or decrease production capacity according to demand. By enhancing production capacity, SMEs can stand out from their competitors and attract more customers with greater production needs.

For small and medium-sized enterprises and large manufacturers, as long as it is installed correctly, robot automation can help them improve efficiency and work quality, reduce operating costs, and enhance flexibility.

Of course, before deploying automation, enterprises must develop a complete strategic plan. It is necessary to understand the operation of automation and in which applications to deploy automation, understand the potential advantages of automation, and clearly know the specific budget and operational strategies.

How to use a five-axis machining center efficiently? Today, let's learn a few practical steps!

When using a five-axis machining center, the equipment must first be adjusted to ensure that the workpiece and fixture dimensions precisely match, and that the zero points of each axis are accurately adjusted.

Why do composite materials require 5-axis CNC machining?

Composite materials are widely used in various fields such as aerospace, automotive, construction, energy, energy storage, infrastructure, marine, pipelines and tanks, sports and entertainment, and transportation due to their light weight, high fatigue resistance, and strong fracture resistance. Among them, aerospace and automotive industries are the largest application markets for composite materials. Five-axis CNC plays an important role in the processing of composite materials. Why do composite materials need to be processed using five-axis CNC?

For businesses, when choosing a five-axis machine, should a dual-station or single-station model be selected?

Dual-station five-axis machines offer several significant advantages. First, while one station is being machined, the other can be used for material loading and unloading, ensuring continuous, non-stop machining and significantly improving production efficiency. Second, the dual-station design makes operation more convenient and reduces waiting time. However, dual-station five-axis machines typically cost more than single-station machines and may require more operating and maintenance space.
