Before Nobot was founded, I engaged in robot import trade for 15 years. These 15 years of hard work brought Yan Mingzheng deep insights and understanding of the robotics industry. "I have a dream, a dream of a tangible enterprise. I saw that the robotics industry is a very promising direction for the future." When talking about Nobot's growth journey, Yan Mingzheng recounted, "In 2013, domestic robots were still in their initial stage. At that time, they weren't even called robots; everyone referred to them as mechanical arms." The market for the robotics industry is vast. For this reason, Yan Mingzheng embarked on his second venture (his first venture was a trading company), as a founder.


Before the establishment of Nobot, I was involved in 15 years of robot import trade This 15 years of hard work brought Yan Mingzheng a deep insight and understanding of the robotics industry. I have a dream, a dream of a physical enterprise. I see the robotics industry as a promising direction for the future. When talking about Nobot's growth journey, Yan Mingzheng said, 2013 In the year, when domestic robots were still in their initial stage, they weren't called robots yet; everyone called them robotic arms . 2013 In the year, Nobot was founded.

It is understood that these 6 partners all have their own companies, so they brought to Nobot not only capital but also years of management experience. Speaking of management experience, Yan Mingzheng particularly mentioned Mr. Tan Zhaolin. As the chairman of the China Enterprise Excellent Leadership Summit Forum, Mr. Tan has been providing Nobot with professional management guidance, becoming a long-term consultant and an important director of Nobot. It is because of these abundant resources that Nobot was able to operate in an orderly manner from its inception.

In the early days of its establishment, Nobot also encountered difficulties, First, at that time, the robotics industry could be said to be an emerging industry, with a shortage of technical personnel. Building a combat-ready team was a challenge; second, there were no corresponding supporting enterprises in Liaocheng, which prevented the formation of an industrial chain and brought various inconveniences; third, many domestic customers were not optimistic about domestic robots, so it was naturally difficult to sell new brands and new products.

Fortunately, at that time, Shandong launched the east wind of intelligent manufacturing, intending to build an intelligent manufacturing industrial base. The government introduced relevant policies and attracted a large number of talents back through vigorous investment promotion. During this period, Yan Mingzheng and his partners ran between the government and various supporting enterprises, recruiting talents while improving themselves, presenting their self-developed products at various exhibitions. After many trials and tribulations, the products finally won the trust of customers. As a result, the three major problems of talent, supporting enterprises, and customers were solved.

 

In the past four years, Nobot has grown from nothing to something, from small to large. Yan Mingzheng exclaimed that Nobot has been deeply engaged in R&D since its inception, undertaking major projects in Shandong Province, constantly breaking through technological bottlenecks in practice, and constantly improving itself. With persistent efforts, Nobot has now obtained national patents 45 items, and software registration rights of 17 items, which is a fruitful achievement.

 

It is worth mentioning that 2017 was a harvest year for Nobot. The first major event was that Nobot participated in the drafting of national robot standards, and two items, the general technical conditions and the general technical conditions for stamping robots, have been successfully announced. The second major event was that Yan Mingzheng obtained the title of "Shandong Provincial Taishan Industrial Leading Talent in Science and Technology Entrepreneurship" , which is not only a high affirmation of Yan Mingzheng himself but also a great recognition of Nobot. The third major event is that Nobot has obtained the title of "National High-tech Enterprise". These achievements will continue to encourage Nobot to move forward rapidly.

"Service first, customer first, building a leader in the intelligent equipment industry." This is Nobot's corporate vision. Yan Mingzheng said that Nobot has always adhered to customer-centricity, meeting the different needs of different customers, winning over customers, better serving customers, allowing customers to get real benefits, and getting closer to customers means getting closer to the market.

Through communication with customers, Nobot has also improved, constantly updating its technology. Its intelligent equipment is already in a leading position in China, and it has also created a number of high-quality products and highly demonstrative integrated cases. Now Nobot focuses on two directions: one is the stamping and forging line of stamping robots, and the other is palletizing. Yan Mingzheng said, Nobot's stamping lines have 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. To further understand Nobot's intelligent advantages, let's use a typical case as an explanation.

 

Among them, "The construction of an automated production line for a certain automobile company in Shandong" project has high demonstration and promotion value and has a strong driving force for the intelligent upgrading and transformation of the manufacturing industry, attracting everyone's attention.

 

The "Construction of an automated production line for a certain automobile company in Shandong" project has realized fully automated production. Using two robots with pneumatic grippers for loading and unloading, completing the loading and unloading between processes. The robot can walk by itself and shuttle between processes.

The entire production line is an intelligent production line. Workers put the entire frame of blanks into the designated position, and the production line can automatically complete all processing and testing, and neatly put the finished products into the finished product frame. The full frame of qualified products is automatically opened to the designated position, and workers can take them away.

 

This project has greatly improved the automated production line upgrade of the customer, improved workshop production efficiency, realized flexible production, and made an undeniable contribution to the upgrading of the ever-changing automotive industry. In addition, the company has also launched other projects such as "Automated Conveyor Line and Automated Warehouse Design for a Certain Steel Ball Group in Shandong", "Construction of an Intelligent Warehouse System for a Certain Automobile Plastic Products Co., Ltd. in Hebei", etc., successfully solving problems such as logistics storage and handling and palletizing.

Nobot has gained a good industry reputation with its high-quality solutions and excellent service attitude. Its products, which are complete in specifications, stable in performance, and reliable in quality, have high sales volume and have won the trust of major enterprise users. Facing the world and the future, Nobot has become a leading enterprise in building an independent national brand.

I just came back from Japan recently, and we plan to establish a research and development base in Japan. According to Yan Mingzheng, Japan and Germany started earlier in intelligent equipment, and their technology is worth learning. In the future, Nobot will go out, learn from and draw on foreign advanced technologies, and improve its independent R&D capabilities.

 

In addition, Nobot has new plans, Yan Mingzheng said Nobot will cooperate with Liaocheng University and the University of Science and Technology of China to establish an intelligent manufacturing innovation research institute. Through this intelligent platform, it will help enterprises in Liaocheng's new energy vehicle and bearing manufacturing sectors conduct targeted diagnoses, provide technological innovation solutions, and achieve effective transformation of old and new driving forces! Nobot's flexible application of 'production, education, research, and application' helps local businesses solve problems and promotes the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing enterprises from manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing.
