On the afternoon of March 20th, Shandong Province organized a marching theme interview activity of “taking the cultural corridor into the economic park to see the high-quality development of Shandong” – taking the Jiaoji Railway Cultural Experience Line to Jinan No.2 Machine Tool Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Jinan No.2 Machine Tool”). As one of the world’s three major CNC stamping equipment manufacturers, the company has developed more than 600 kinds of national first (set) products, and has been awarded “Outstanding Contribution Enterprise in the Field of Major Technical Equipment” by the State Council, and has been selected as “China’s Top 100 Machinery Industry” for many consecutive years. The company’s leading products are forging equipment, gold cutting machine tools, automation equipment, casting machinery, CNC cutting equipment, etc., which are widely used in automobile, rail transit, energy, shipping, and other industries, and the products are exported to 67 countries and regions in the world, such as the United States, Japan, and Europe.
Walking into the Jinan No. 2 machine tool production workshop, the products being assembled put on the site full, a busy scene. Workers are working intensively to assemble BYD’s project products, which will be shipped to users in April. In recent years, the new energy vehicle market has developed rapidly, Jinan No. 2 machine tool closely focuses on user needs, seizes opportunities, and wins many stamping production line orders in the new energy vehicle stamping market, with a domestic market share of more than 90%.
“We seize the opportunity of the rapid development of new energy vehicles, deepen strategic cooperation with automobile companies, and achieve a historical breakthrough of more than 10 billion yuan in new contracts signed in 2022. Zhao Mingji, a consultant of Jinan No. 2 Machine Tool Consulting, introduced that the company also made efforts in the international high-end market, provided turnkey projects for general contracting to domestic and foreign users, provided 27 large-scale stamping lines for Ford Motor 13 plants around the world, and successively won orders for high-speed stamping production lines from Nissan, Japan and PSA in France, achieving a comprehensive breakthrough in the US, Japan and European markets. In 2022, the company will establish Jier Europe and Jier Mexico, and the overseas marketing service system will be increasingly improved, and the internationalization strategy will be accelerated.
Machine tool equipment is called “industrial mother machine”, and its technical level represents the national industrial level. The secret of the leapfrog development of Jinan II machine tools is innovation.Enterprises closely follow the development of international cutting-edge technology and changes in market demand, rely on the national science and technology platform, increase independent innovation, and take out more than 6% of the sales revenue every year for the research and development of basic, strategic and cutting-edge technologies, and keep pace with the international advanced level of product technology development.
“We break through the key core technologies such as servo control, whole line synchronous control, and dynamic performance optimization of five-axis machining centers in large-scale stamping production lines, and develop new products such as full-servo high-speed stamping production lines, automatic line end basket loading systems, five-axis gantry processing production lines, and automatic welding lines for medium and thick plates, and intelligent stamping lines with independent intellectual property rights, which can provide personalized and ‘tailor-made’ overall solutions for global stamping users.” Zhao Mingji said that the company’s leading product technology continues to iteratively upgrade, forming an innovative force that can meet the national strategic needs, lead the market demand, and participate in international competition, and the proportion of high-end products reaches more than 80% of sales revenue.
Jinan No. 2 Machine Tool also takes the implementation of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s “National New Material Production and Application Demonstration Platform Construction Project” as the starting point, gives play to the main role of the national industrial chain, takes the lead in organizing the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, increases the research of high-end CNC machine tools and key core technologies, optimizes the product structure, reduces the dependence on imported accessories, and enhances the independent controllability and anti-risk ability of the industrial chain and supply chain.
When the new generation of information technology meets manufacturing, it activates a pool of spring water. Jinan No. 2 Machine Tool accelerates the innovative application of a new generation of information technology such as industrial Internet, artificial intelligence, and 5G in the whole life cycle of manufacturing, after-sales service, etc., realizes the integration and collaboration of design, process, production and manufacturing, and builds a digital workshop for discrete high-end CNC machine tools. Product development cycle is shortened by 30%, operating costs are reduced by 20%, production efficiency is increased by 23%, and energy utilization is increased by 11%.
In the next step, Jinan No. 2 Machine Tool will combine the intelligent transformation and upgrading of production equipment, systematically improve the manufacturing capacity of enterprises, complete horizontal and vertical integration with manufacturing systems as the core, and realize the seamless connection between various businesses of enterprise research, production, supply and marketing. At the same time, we will deeply implement the national dual carbon strategy, promote the promotion and application of green and low-carbon technologies, and build a modern green manufacturing system.
