Public Network Poster News Reporter Man Qianqian, Lv Le, Jin Lixiu, Qingdao report
Walking into the robot technology center showroom of Qingdao Baojia Automation Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Qingdao Baojia), various robots with different functions are arranged in three rows to "compete" for display: sorting robots delicately "perform" biscuit candy sorting, grinding robots "buried" polishing, dispensing robots automatic gluing, heavyweight "players" palletizing robots finally finale, can handle up to 100 kilograms of goods 1800 times per hour, at least can replace the workload of 6 people...
The rich robot product line is actually just the tip of the iceberg of Qingdao Baojia's manufacturing industry. Now Baojia is positioned as a provider of overall solutions for intelligent manufacturing system integration, with robot application research and development as the core, helping manufacturing enterprises to achieve intelligent production, control, logistics and other whole processes.
But who would have thought that this young company full of technology sense was once a company transformed from the feed trading industry? It is the bold choice made by the founder of the company, Gao Ming, that makes this company a "crossover" that has emerged.
At the 2022 Work Mobilization Conference of Shandong Province, Gao Mingzuo was awarded the title of "Excellent Entrepreneur of Shandong Province". Transformation and innovation, how did he do it?
The robot's gripping speed can reach 1800 times per hour, and the weight of each grip reaches more than 100 kilograms, which makes it one of the best performing and most efficient palletizing robots in the industry.
Gao Ming introduced that in the early days of the establishment of the company, facing the bottleneck problem of heavy physical strength and labor difficulties in the feed industry, the company took the lead in proposing the concept of "machine substitution" in the feed industry production, which set off a tide of change in the production mode of the feed industry.
In 2009, the company began to develop industrial robots across borders. For more than ten years, on the one hand, enterprises have built their own R & D teams, with diversified support capabilities such as layout design, equipment research and development, software research and development, and R & D investment has also increased, accounting for more than 5% of revenue. On the other hand, strengthen industrial ecological innovation, cooperate with universities, scientific research institutions, suppliers and customer enterprises, and carry out customized research and development of equipment, software customization and system solutions to achieve intellectual property sharing and achievement transformation.
Today, Baojia provides nearly 5,000 sets of solutions and equipment for feed, grain and oil, food, chemical, pharmaceutical, mechanical processing and other industries; the market share of intelligent integrated equipment in China's feed industry exceeds 70%; and the products have been exported to more than 20 countries and regions such as Japan, Russia, Bulgaria, Egypt and Southeast Asia since 2016.
However, from the perspective of the development of the entire industry, although the development of the robot industry in Qingdao has achieved initial results, there is still an obvious gap compared with the domestic advanced cities, and there are problems such as the overall scale of the industry is small, the industry's popularity is not prominent, and the competitive advantage is insufficient.
"In this context, we have adopted the industrial development strategy of 'introducing intelligence and complementing each other', and strengthened the R&D and manufacturing capabilities of enterprises and enhanced the competitiveness of enterprises through different forms such as exclusive cooperation in market segments, the introduction of world-leading robot production lines, the introduction of foreign experts in joint venture research institutes and strategic cooperation." Gao Ming explained that after the success of Baojia in the feed industry, in addition to continuous research and development and upgrading of related products, it has also targeted other industries, such as grain and oil, chemical, food, medicine and other industries, and the application share of intelligent manufacturing overall solutions is also increasing. In the past two years, Baojia has served qingdao food co., ltd., Linghua Group, Deyi Dairy, Yantai Shuangta, Shandong Qiao daughter-in-law, New Hope Qinpai and other food and condiment enterprises in the province, reducing a large number of labor through technological transformation and greatly improving their production efficiency.
However, in the face of the increasing market demand and the rapid development of the industry, Gao Mingzuo believes that the main tone of enterprise development in 2022 should be based on "stability", "stable main business, stable core industry, stable customer, stable market, continue to deepen the industry on the basis of enterprise stability, through innovation-driven development and differentiated competition, and strive to become the most competitive enterprise representative in the same industry in the world." ”
