1. Development gaps As an industry that provides equipment for the deep-processing industry, our development strategy in the first 40 years is basically based on two aspects: First, what advanced countries do and what we do; What is the plastics processing industry to plan and what we will develop. This approach is determined by the historical and objective conditions of our industry.
First, the first step taken by most of the world’s most advanced countries is “imitation.†This is correct and correct. Second, the plastics processing industry, which originally used plastic processing plants, faced a direct consumer market, while the plastics machinery industry faced an indirect market. We can only rely on information feedback from the plastics processing industry to determine this. What to produce. This is entirely correct under the conditions of a very weak industry, lack of high-quality talent, and shortage of economic conditions.
However, now our plastics machinery industry has begun to take shape, with a certain strength and the basis for further development; at the same time, various industries are using plastics machinery. The plastics processing industry, which was mainly based on plastics plants, can no longer represent plastics machinery. The buyer's market trend, therefore, can no longer follow the pattern of the past but must consider the issue on the premise of the buyer's market.
According to the international popular model, the tentative angle of advanced plastics machinery manufacturers has already penetrated into the direct consumer market. They continue to research, find and discover consumer market needs (including civil and industrial consumption), develop new types of plastic products on their own, and then design machines and arrange process recipes for them, until they provide equipment users with a set of processing equipment. A turnkey project that can successfully make a new type of product. This approach is completely different from the traditional negative model of “what does the user need and what do we produce?â€, but it is an aggressive model that leads to market consumption. This is a qualitative leap in the market.
The above gap cannot be measured in terms of time. To achieve this step requires a large number of highly qualified management personnel with high quality; a large number of highly-qualified scientific and technological talents that require interdisciplinary and cross-industry; and an effective, extensive, cross-industry social information flow system. Whether we can change the old model as quickly as possible in the early next century or not, adopting new or updated models is the key to eliminating or reducing the gap between us and advanced countries.
2. The gap in design concept and technique At present, the popular design concept of foreign plastic machinery is based on the principle of the demand for processed products. How to let users win in the market is a concept, and equipment is designed and manufactured for users of the equipment. As a result, a large number of new technologies that we have not yet mastered have emerged, such as three-dimensional circuit board technology (MIDs), double bubble tube method, metallocene plastic processing technology, in-city mixing and injection combined technology, direct twin screw direct extrusion Technology, melt pumps, and hot runner technologies that have been generally popular but are rarely used in our country, the recent emergence of gas transmission, water-assisted injection technology, etc., and thus led to the so-called "modular" design method, we have four Years ago it was called "functional unit design."
This is based on the design, modification, storage, and output of electronic media. It decomposes the functions of the device into units, then selects and combines new design concepts. The designer reserves dozens or hundreds of different "functional units" for a type of equipment. When designing a machine for a certain product, the designer selects the required "main module" and adds it to the equipment. The required "special module" can quickly design a special model that is different from other models.
Most of the enterprises in China's plastic machinery are still using the traditional standard models and improved routines to try to adapt to the ever-changing market demand. This is why we from the "Eighth Five-Year Plan" when we shouted "Our machines are more versatile and less dedicated" but one of the factors that has not changed so far.
3. The indicators of speed, efficiency and energy saving are much lower than those of foreign advanced manufacturers. High-speed, high-efficiency, and energy-saving have been the main theme of the continuous improvement of international plastics machinery in recent years. The gap in most of China's plastics machinery is obvious: energy consumption is roughly the same type as foreign countries. 2 times the speed of the machine, the speed is generally 1/2 of the foreign equipment, the plasticization capacity of the screw of the same scale is also roughly 50%-60% of that of other people, and the quality rate of the product is also much lower than the foreign advanced level. It can be seen that domestically produced two or three units are only worthy of an advanced equipment.
4. The level of control failed to keep pace with the times Due to the lack of talent and the slow updating of knowledge structure, the level of control of China's plastic machinery has not kept pace with the rapid development of international electronics and communications industries. Internationally, in order to make the equipment faster and more efficient, "Pentium"-class computer controls have been adopted. The CANbus bus layout used in the automotive industry, advanced digital plot control, networked control of multiple equipment in the workshop, and the establishment of a remote service system through the Internet are used for fault diagnosis and troubleshooting of online user equipment. Therefore, our control accuracy and product repeatability are quite different from advanced foreign standards. Not only that, but in the future, even one day, these gaps will be reflected in all aspects of the after-sales service and other aspects that have nothing to do with the control system.
5. Low added value of products, poor economic efficiency of enterprises, and weak competitiveness In 1998, the average sales margin of the plastics machinery industry was only 7.4%, and the average sales profit margin of top-ranked companies with sales of hundreds of millions of yuan was only 9.3%. The top two are also only 18% and 17%. The average profit of foreign companies is generally about 25%. According to internationally recognized methods for evaluating the competitiveness of enterprises, we have significantly lower than the international counterparts in terms of sales, return on investment, research and development inputs, and the four parameters that characterize the competitiveness of a company's production scale and capabilities.
On the other hand, in recent years, the annual average consumption of plastic machinery in China is around 13 billion yuan. Among them, there are about 80,000 sets of domestic equipment, sales of about 5 billion yuan, and less than 20,000 sets of imported equipment per year, but the value is 8 billion yuan, and the average value of Taiwan equipment is more than five times that of domestic equipment. According to statistical data in recent years, imported equipment accounts for about 25%-31% of the total market, but the value is 74%-77%. This shows that the economic efficiency and competitiveness of domestic equipment and the gap between foreign equipment, but also shows that our product structure has reached the situation can not advance without adjustment.
6. The gap between the level of corporate equipment and foreign companies is obvious The self-equipment of a foreign company does not always pay for new equipment. Instead, it constantly reconstructs old equipment when conditions permit, and the main content of its transformation is the control system. They constantly updated the control systems and key components of the old equipment of the Sui Dynasty, the 70s, and even the 50s until the current full-closed-loop digital control. This move has greatly improved the processing precision and level of the company's existing equipment, but it has taken little cost. It is quite different from our company's frequent spending of tens of thousands of foreign exchange purchases of foreign equipment. Of course, this is related to the lack of high-tech talent in our company, the lack of information on the progress of international control technologies, and the lack of information on how to improve existing equipment. After all, it is still a question of knowledge and talent.
