Jinjiang'S Traditional Shoe Making Enterprises: The Benefits Brought By Automation Equipment

The problem of high power consumption and difficulty in recruiting workers has become a problem.

Traditional shoe making enterprises have been suffering from "many difficulties" for many years.

Faced with many problems, the introduction of automation equipment for technological intelligent pformation has become an important way for many brand enterprises to realize pformation and upgrading.

Compared with traditional equipment, what are the advantages of automation equipment?

Scene: automatic production line PK traditional production line efficiency increased by nearly 50%

"The game starts."

At 10 o'clock a.m. on the day of the race, in the sewing workshop, with Jinjiang Ming Wei

Qiu Jin Chang, deputy general manager of clothing company limited, ordered two production team members of the automatic equipment production line and the traditional equipment production line to distribute production materials to each team member.

In this competition, there are 16 employees in each of the two production lines. They need to sew as many vamp as possible in 90 minutes.

It is seen that the workers in the traditional production line carry a few pieces of loose parts in the left hand to carry the needle cart under the machine, and the right hand pulls the belt pulley from time to time, then pulls the thread out and cuts off the excess thread with small scissors. At the same time, the foot and wrist must constantly tread on the motor, so that many pieces of scattered material can be combined into a complete vamp.

On the intelligent production line, the employees only need to place the material under the equipment, press the button and step lightly on the computer servo motor, and a few pieces of material can be sewn to one surface quickly.

In just more than 10 minutes, the line of staff on the traditional production line has been strewn with different threads. Employees need to wash their hands off the table from time to time, while the employees of the automated production line do not need to do more of the action. They are stitched by one pair after another, and the movements are more coherent.

Half an hour later, the employees of the traditional production line sweating profusely, using their hands to wipe the sweat on their faces and stepping on the motor with numbness on their feet. By contrast, the employees of the automated production line are still proceeding in accordance with the established procedures without any fatigue.

"Time is up."

Referee Qiu Jin Chang announces that several employees on the traditional production line still try their best to catch up with the vamp on hand, and want to make the final contribution to the output of the traditional production line; on the other hand, the employees of the automatic production line stop their work at a calm pace.

Qiu Jin Chang announced the final result. The traditional production line produced 70 pairs, and the automatic production line produced 100 pairs.

"Obviously, the output of the automated production line is better than the traditional production line."

Qiu Jin Chang pointed to the ammeter of the two production lines. "Automatic production line produces 100 pairs of vampers for 90 minutes, 1.2 kilowatts of electricity consumption. The traditional production line produces 70 pairs of vampers for 90 minutes, and 2 kilowatts of electricity consumption."

After the game, the two groups of employees cleared the playing field separately.

The employees of the automatic production line press the "OFF" button to set the chairs straight. The employees of the traditional production line are especially busy. Several employees are busy sweeping the thread on the table to the floor. Several employees sweep the floor with a large broom, and several employees scrub the table with a towel.

Withdrawal of profits from external cooperation

"In order to meet the production plan, not only did employees often work overtime, but they also needed outsourcing.

Every day, we coordinate the material with the processing plant and communicate with the front-line staff for overtime work.

Now, I am very relaxed. "

Qiu Jin Long said, smiled.

Qiu Jin Chang told reporters that the advantages of intelligent equipment are not only the efficiency of upgrading and the saving of electricity, but also in the quality, management, and so on.

And benefits are also significant.

"The wages of the company's workers are piecework. After the introduction of the intelligent equipment, the efficiency of the workers has improved significantly, the wages have also been raised, and the working hours have been shortened by an hour. Not only the workers have good stability, but also the workers' turnover rate has increased to 50% this year, and the number of workers introduced by the old staff has also increased a lot. At the beginning of this year, 100 new workers were added to the factory." 90%

Qiu Jin Chang said that in the past, recruitment had been a headache for him.

Qiu Jinchang told reporters that with the replacement of intelligent equipment, Mingwei company increased its annual output by 20 thousand pairs under the condition of constant workers.

There were several factories in the field. Now that the number of workers is increased and the efficiency is improved, the company no longer needs the external processing plant. It not only has better control over the product quality and delivery date, but also saves the intermediate costs and benefits of the outsourcing Association. In addition, it also reduces the process of adding materials to the outsourcing plant and reduces the management cost.

"Generally speaking, the cost of production by a representative factory is 1.5 times higher than that of the factory itself, and the communication between the company and the agent should at least match 2 foreign personnel to manage it. Only one year's management costs can be saved by more than ten million yuan."

Qiu Jin Chang said that in the past few years, the market situation is not good, Ming Wei's orders will not be reduced or increased, and there will be a certain relationship with intelligent pformation.

The annual output has increased by at least 25%, which makes the company more room for orders, thereby achieving a profit increase.

In addition, intelligentized equipment intelligently tangent, so that there is no cut thread on the ground, and the production environment is more clean and tidy.

Although the replacement equipment must have a certain amount of capital investment, Qiu Jin Chang said: "although the overall market is not very prosperous, the pressure of various manufacturers is bigger, and it is not easy to invest in equipment, but this is an irreversible trend.

At the very beginning, the company only changed 2 sets of equipment, tasted the sweetness brought by the intelligent upgrade, and accelerated the speed of equipment replacement.

Qiu Jin Chang said that although Ming Wei has basically completed the replacement of the workshop equipment, there is actually a step-by-step process. Enterprises with demand may wish to try small scale first.

Behind: save electricity, save the cost of the line, recover the cost more than one year.

When most manufacturing enterprises introduce automation equipment, they often consider how much production can be raised and how much manpower they can save.

Enterprises consider the above two factors only to calculate whether their inputs and outputs are directly proportional to how long they will be able to recover costs.

Qiu Jinchang told reporters that after introducing the automatic roller car, Mingwei had many accidents.

Last May, with an attitude of trying, Mingwei introduced 2 sets of automatic roller production line.

After testing, Ming Wei found that the productivity of workers has been greatly improved.

According to Su Chengyao, chairman of the equipment supplier Fujian Hua Jun Technology Co., Ltd., the automatic roller car adopts the solenoid valve automatic backstitching device. It can maintain a certain distance and needle number in the needle and backwards, and close down the buckle of the control seam, so that it can easily sew the seam, reduce the cutting head and the belt pulley, and so on, so it can greatly improve the work efficiency.

In addition, it uses independent solenoid valve design. When tangent is used, it can ensure the tighter action of the clamping device and make the tangent effect more perfect. The cut line is shorter and the knot is left at the bottom.

"Automatic positioning can enhance positioning, so that the needle distance, needle angle is beautiful, can not see the thread head, the upper is more neat and nice."

Qiu Jinchang told reporters that the use of automatic equipment, greatly improving the quality of products, but also reduce the staff waste of the line.

Qiu Jin Chang said that because the equipment can automatically tangent and avoid the manual cutting process of traditional equipment, the monthly online cost of workshop can be saved by 7000~8000 yuan.

What surprised him most is that since the use of automatic equipment, the power consumption of the original high power has seen a new low in history, which once led him to think that the company's meter was broken.

"The traditional clutch motor can be operated all the time, no matter whether it is in production or not, and the fully automatic roller motor adopts servo motor, which can only start when the car seams, so it can save electricity greatly.

We installed electric meters in every group, and each group needed 20 kilowatt hours a month, now only 13 kwh.

As a result, the sewing machine workshop can save 4000 yuan per month on electricity charges.

Thanks to the sweetness brought by automation equipment, Mingwei has introduced a number of automated roller cars, and now has introduced 14 sets of automated production lines.

In addition to saving electricity and saving lines, the automatic roller cart also saves our expenses on some small tools.

For example, in the past traditional equipment, we need to provide each employee with a pair of small scissors.

Since the use of small scissors is very high, we need to send a new one to the staff on average 10 days.

After the introduction of automatic equipment, we only need a small pair of scissors a month, and only on small scissors, we can save 1400 yuan per month.

Qiu said that automation equipment has saved costs for enterprises in many ways. It was expected that it would take two or three years to recover the cost of inputs. Now, it can recover more than a year.

In the same time, the efficiency of the automatic production line (right) is nearly 50% higher than that of the traditional production line (left).

Staff strongly demand automation equipment.

"Lao Hong, when can we get the equipment of our group?" as soon as we entered the Ming Wei sewing machine shop, we saw Ceng Gongqiong, the group leader of the traditional production line, holding a chat with Hong Ruizhu, assistant manager of Fujian Hua Jun Technology Co., Ltd.

"Hei hei, I have already quarreled with our factory director to have the automatic roller car quarrelling and I feel embarrassed, so I have to change my mind to push it."

Zeng Gong told reporters that he was also urged every day by group workers to automate equipment. There was no way to report the situation truthfully.

What kind of charisma does an automatic roller cart have for employees to pester, quarrel and compete? Reporters interviewed Yue Caiyun, who was the first group to benefit from automated production lines.

"My car has been sewing shoes for nearly 20 years.

Actually, at the very beginning, our group was very unaccustomed to using the automatic roller car. The output of the first week was much lower than that of the traditional one.

To be honest, I repelled it very much at first.

But after second weeks of getting used to new equipment, I obviously felt different.

Yue Caiyun told reporters, "before the operation of traditional motors need to constantly stampede, after a day's work, the ankle joints are often red and swollen.

Nowadays, the automatic lifting feet are more labor-saving, which can greatly liberate workers from heavy operations and reduce the intensity of work.

Yue Caiyun said that the operation of automatic equipment is simple and reduces many trivial actions. The learning cycle is short, which not only reduces work intensity, but also improves work efficiency and shortens working hours.

"Personally, the average monthly salary is about 500 yuan more than before.

The work of our group is also more active than before.

Yue Caiyun told reporters that as a front-line employee, easy work can get high income, and naturally very willing to stay in the enterprise.

For this reason, at the beginning of the year, she also introduced several villagers to Mingwei.
