To increase the publicity of Shandong Province's policies supporting the high-quality development of the private economy, and to create a positive atmosphere of Party leadership, policy support, social attention, and enterprise care, promoting the Party building work of individual and private enterprises and the high-quality development of the private economy, the Shandong Provincial Market Supervision Administration has opened a special column on "High-Quality Development of Individual and Private Economy in Shandong" in the "Dazhong Daily" newspaper.
2019 was a significant year for Shandong Province to fully launch the major project of transforming old and new kinetic energy. "High-end equipment," as an emerging industry, was listed as one of the ten key areas to be promoted in Shandong. This is key to cultivating new kinetic energy and gaining a competitive edge in the future. This has brought rare opportunities for the development of the real economy and will promote a strategic shift in Shandong's equipment manufacturing industry from large-scale to high-quality development.
As a high-tech enterprise specializing in the research, development, production, and sales of multi-joint industrial robots, intelligent three-dimensional warehouses, AGVs, and non-standard automated equipment integration, Nobot Intelligent Equipment (Shandong) Co., Ltd. plays a pioneering role in the transformation of old and new kinetic energy. It focuses on technological innovation and research and development, accelerates investment in high-end equipment R&D, and improves the competitiveness of its core products, becoming an outstanding representative of the high-quality development of private enterprises in Shandong Province.
"Emerging industries are the key to cultivating new kinetic energy and gaining a competitive edge in the future. It is necessary to continuously increase the efforts to cultivate them, strengthen factor supply, accelerate the development of new products, and improve independent innovation capabilities, driving development through innovation." Faced with the new situation and background of the transformation of old and new kinetic energy, Nobot Chairman Yan Mingzheng is actively exploring an innovative path to improve quality and efficiency for high-end equipment enterprises and how to achieve this transformation.
Participating in the formulation of national standards, enhancing the leading position of enterprises
Nobot has elevated standardization work to the strategic level of company development and competition, regarding the formulation and revision of national and industry standards for products as an important task to enhance the company's dominance and brand influence.
Since 2017, the company, as a drafting unit, has participated in the formulation of four national standards: "General Technical Conditions for Forging Robots," "General Technical Conditions for Pressing Robots," "General Technical Conditions for Sorting Robots," and "General Technical Conditions for Cutting Robots." Through the formulation and implementation of these standards, the production standards, testing standards, and technological levels of the entire industrial robot industry have been improved, while simultaneously gaining industry voice and strengthening competitive advantages, which has become a booster for the company to further open up domestic and international markets.
As the main drafting unit and drafter, Chairman Yan Mingzheng stated that Nobot has always regarded product quality as the lifeline of the enterprise, strictly controlling product quality, and promoting the upgrading of products from "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing." Nobot has strict requirements for product design and development, process technology, and product testing, and strictly implements them in every link of the production process. By participating in the drafting of national standards, the company's products have made qualitative leaps from materials to processes, from performance to appearance, reaching the leading level in the industry and accumulating significant product quality advantages and brand competitiveness.
Innovative intelligent three-dimensional warehouse, creating a leader in the high-end equipment industry
Strong technical support has injected "driving force" into the company's product research and development and upgrading. "Workshop processes that are highly repetitive, dangerous, and that employees are unwilling to do can be handed over to industrial robots." Yan Mingzheng told reporters that by using robots produced by Nobot, from a single process in enterprise production to an entire production line and then to the entire workshop, fully automated operation can be achieved, creating an intelligent unmanned factory.
As a key research and development and promotion project of Nobot in 2019, the intelligent three-dimensional warehouse precise service project has been well-received by customers in Hebei, Changchun, and other places in the fields of automobile parts classification and logistics warehousing. During the use of the intelligent three-dimensional warehouse, staff only need to transport goods to the warehouse entrance, and other work can be completed by robots, greatly improving warehousing efficiency.
Nobot Chairman Yan Mingzheng introduced that the problem of warehouse explosions caused by the accumulation of massive express deliveries has caused many online shoppers to suffer from long waits. However, if businesses use automated delivery intelligent three-dimensional warehouses, the probability of warehouse explosions will be greatly reduced. Staff only need to set parameters in the control room, and the robot can place goods according to the set data. When the robot delivers goods, it can also achieve "first in, first out."
Currently, Nobot is conducting research and development on the application of collaborative control technology between industrial robots and intelligent three-dimensional warehouses, collaborative control technology between industrial robots and logistics automation, and integrated control technology between industrial robots and spraying. At the same time, aiming at the special environment and process conditions of the hot forging industry, a special industrial robot for this industry has been developed.
"Next, we will increase our R&D efforts, improve product competitiveness, rely on our own products to help traditional manufacturing enterprises transform their old production models, and provide more advanced new kinetic energy." Yan Mingzheng said.
Building a smart platform to attract talent, providing intellectual support for the transformation of old and new kinetic energy
"Service first, customer supreme, creating a leader in the intelligent equipment industry." This is Nobot's corporate vision. Yan Mingzheng said that through communication with customers, Nobot has also improved, continuously updating its technology. Its intelligent equipment is already in a leading position in China, and it has also created a number of excellent products and highly demonstrative integrated cases.
"Currently, Nobot is focusing on two areas: one is the pressing and forging line of pressing robots, and the other is palletizing." Yan Mingzheng said that Nobot's pressing line has been applied to the processing of new energy vehicles for a certain group in Shandong; not only in the automotive industry, but also a series of collaborations with well-known companies in the home appliance industry.
"The implementation of the transformation of old and new kinetic energy must be forward-looking." Yan Mingzheng has his own unique insights on how to improve the transformation of old and new kinetic energy: "The transformation of old and new kinetic energy must be reflected and implemented in projects. In addition to having innovative ideas and advanced products, there must also be a professional team with superb technology." Economic development requires transformation and upgrading, and attracting talent also requires "transformation and upgrading." Talent introduction provides intellectual support for the implementation of the transformation of old and new kinetic energy.
Nobot regards high-end talents as a key focus for talent introduction and is working with Liaocheng University and Liaocheng High-tech Zone to jointly introduce expert professors and doctoral students from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences as leaders of the public relations team and establish an intelligent manufacturing innovation research institute. Through a smart platform, it provides targeted diagnosis and technical innovation solutions for local enterprises in fields such as new energy vehicles and bearing manufacturing, thereby achieving effective transformation of old and new kinetic energy.
"The introduced high-level talents enjoy three kinds of superimposed preferential treatment: 'university' + 'enterprise' + 'government.' Helping Liaocheng entrepreneurs, including ourselves, to sort out existing problems and development bottlenecks, relying on the talent and technological advantages of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences to solve the pain points in the process of enterprise development." Yan Mingzheng frankly stated that Nobot flexibly uses "production, education, research, and application" to solve problems for local enterprises, helping traditional manufacturing enterprises transform and upgrade, moving from manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing.
