Epidemic Escalates Demand: Luo Shi Robot Resumed Work

In February 8th, a container truck loaded with flat tube stacker was shipped out of Zoucheng, Shandong, and shipped from Xi'an's freight center to skagna, south of Poland. This is the first order delivered by Luo Shi, an industrial robot company, after the Spring Festival.

Wang Shuang, deputy general manager of Luo Shi robot Shandong company, arranged the goods out of town, and continued to reclaim the application materials of the production base.

Four days later, the Luo Shi robot was the first batch of Zoucheng enterprises to get a notice of resumption of work. It has welcomed more than 90 workers.

The first batch of workers to return to work were Zoucheng residents and local employees living in Zoucheng. They had to register for vehicle disinfection and temperature measurement before entering the company every day before they could enter the office building or workshop after receiving masks and gloves. In order to avoid mutual contact, the company changed the fingerprint machine attendance card to the nail by mobile phone.

"We all feel that the resumption of work is not easy, the enthusiasm for work is higher than the original, and the efficiency is also higher and higher." From the beginning of the Spring Festival, Wang Shuang and his colleagues were busy with the purchase of anti epidemic materials. After the resumption of work, the main work was temporarily adjusted to the epidemic prevention and control of Shandong company and the psychological counseling of employees.

"The production capacity of Shandong (production base) has been restored to almost the same level, and all factories across the country will return to normal level after half a month to a month." Luo Shi robot founder and CEO Hua Hua told the twenty-first Century economic news reporter.

Founded in 2015, the Luo Shi robot is a light duty robot and intelligent manufacturing solution business. At the beginning of the establishment of the company, there were only three people in the team. At that time, the domestic entrepreneurship boom continued. Hua Hua, Cao Hua and Han Feng Tao planned a new blueprint for the business in Beijing's pioneering cafe. In the Chinese industrial robot market dominated by foreign enterprises, the founding team chose to cut into 3C, auto parts and sewing, and other traditional industrial upgrading applications.

Over the past five years, today's Luo Shi has a team of over 300 people and has built a production base of 2000 units with annual output in Meng Zi's hometown, Zoucheng, Shandong. The customers include famous enterprises such as millet, Daimler, Magna, Valeo, Wahaha, standard stock and other famous domestic and foreign enterprises, and their businesses are spread over dozens of countries in Germany, France, Russia, Japan and Korea.

In the five years after the establishment of Luo Shi, plum blossom angel, German Alliance capital, Qing control ginkgo, Shun capital and Jinsha River Union have been successively promoted. The scale of single financing has gone from the initial 3 million 800 thousand yuan to the later 160 million yuan.

"We are discussing how to meet the demand for new orders in several technology intensive industries, and we also estimate the possibility of cancellation or delay in the first half and the first half of the two quarter." In view of the possible impact of the epidemic, the management of Luo Shi made a full year budget adjustment not long ago.

It is gratifying to note that the new crown epidemic also makes the proprietor feel the necessity and urgency of "upgrading". Since returning to work, the Luo Shi team has received many enquiries from potential customers, and many old customers have explicitly expressed the need for additional orders.

"Now labor-intensive industries are very difficult to employ, and the enterprises which use automated production lines are basically not affected by the epidemic. The epidemic has stimulated more robots to replace labor, or the need for automated solutions. " "This is a great benefit to our industry," he said.

"The epidemic has deepened the importance attached by the owners to machine substitutions, and they have seen the potential cost of manpower." Fan Xuesong, senior vice president of de link capital, believes that the new crown will bring new opportunities for Luo Shi. "In the past, the development of domestic industrial robots was driven by technology and cost. After the outbreak, the development of the industry will enter a real demand driven."

Speaking of the impact of the new crown epidemic on the entire industrial robot industry, Hua Hua analysis believes that the short term will bring challenges to the manufacturing enterprises, and some customers may be affected by the macroeconomic environment to reduce the fixed assets investment budget. If the line of sight is extended to one or two years later, the negative impact of the epidemic on the industry can be "negligible".

The current environment is a big challenge for enterprises with production links, regardless of their own factories or outsourcing production. From the sales point of view, the way to communicate with customers will have to be carried out through Internet and telephone. However, there will be a retaliatory rebound in demand after the outbreak.

In the eyes of the respondents, this will be another opportunity for rocky to grow.
