As one of the few comprehensive packaging solution providers in China with a complete business chain of metal packaging and plastic packaging product process design, mold development, production and sales, equipment development and transformation, in recent years, Huayuan Holdings has insisted on asking for production capacity from science and technology and kinetic energy from innovation, constantly promoting equipment updates, product updates and model updates, focusing on enhancing core competitiveness with new quality productivity, and continuously consolidating and creating leading advantages in the industry.
Li Zhicong, chairman and general manager of Huayuan Holdings, told reporters that in 2023, the company will invest 93.7849 million yuan in research and development, accounting for 3.89% of the company's operating income, and the company has obtained more than 400 authorized patents, including more than 70 invention patents.
Device Updates:
Imported from "ten million".
to "million" self-developed
In the R&D workshop of Haikuan Intelligence, a subsidiary of Huayuan Holdings, there are two production lines, one can be used to produce industrial cans, and the other can be used to produce food cans, both of which are independently developed, designed and assembled by Huayuan Holdings.
Huayuan Holdings has introduced a number of imported production line equipment, and the price of the most ordinary industrial tank production line will rise to "tens of millions" at every turn, which makes the company need to face great pressure every time it expands production. At the same time, because most of the products produced by enterprises are non-standard products, many equipment needs to be further transformed before it can be put into production even if it is bought.
In order to develop healthily for a long time, Huayuan Holdings has attached great importance to the optimization and transformation of equipment and independent design since its inception. After more than 30 years of practice, Huayuan Holdings has formed unique production characteristics by independently studying various manufacturing technologies and independently producing various suitable tools and molds, which can meet the diverse needs of customers in an all-round way. The erection cost of a production line has also been gradually optimized from "tens of millions" to "millions".
"The design, assembly, transformation and upgrading of equipment is one of the core competitiveness of our enterprise and an important means for us to adapt to the production requirements under the new situation. Huang Xiaolin, general manager of Haikuan Huayuan Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., introduced that on the one hand, the company is to set up a new production line with new equipment, on the other hand, for some equipment with a long service time, it will also be upgraded, so that it can play "residual heat" and re-enter the "battlefield". A team of 150 "equipment experts" will give full play to their "ingenuity" to upgrade the old equipment, which will be reborn in their hands and once again shoulder the heavy responsibility of production. For equipment that is too outdated, the effective parts in it will also be recycled to achieve another form of rebirth.
It is in the continuous development of the "new" and the continuous improvement of the "old" that Huayuan Holdings has achieved an all-round improvement of production capacity. At present, Huayuan Holdings has the self-development and assembly capacity of specialized production lines and testing equipment for metal packaging and plastic packaging, and the self-organized production line can meet the production requirements of industrial packaging cans, caps and food packaging cans and lids with different specifications and requirements.
Product Updates:
Focus on a wider field and a higher level
Compared with industrial packaging, food packaging has a wider range of applications, more use scenarios, and higher added value, and this business has always been a key battlefield for major packaging companies.
Luncheon meat is a common product on people's tables, but behind this small jar of luncheon meat is the unusual struggle and struggle of Huayuan Holdings.
Huayuan Holdings' journey to produce lunch meat cans has not been smooth sailing. A small jar needs to be stretched by multiple molds and finally formed, which puts forward a series of strict requirements for material extension, mold stretching, coating control, etc. At the beginning of development, there have been many times when the product has been cracked and broken in the tank wall in multiple processes, Huayuan Holdings has explored a suitable production route through its profound industry foundation and rich experience in mold design and product production, through the optimization and treatment of materials, and the smooth connection of all aspects of stretching molding.
"We have established a long-term and close cooperative relationship with Jiangnan University, with the help of the basic research strength and forward-looking simulation technology of colleges and universities, after repeated tests, we selected raw materials suitable for the tank structure and have good performance, and then handed over to the cooperative manufacturers for surface treatment according to the requirements, and finally successfully introduced into the luncheon meat canning production line and realized industrialization. Huang Xiaolin said.
Since the capture of luncheon meat cans, Huayuan Holdings has made great progress in the food packaging business, gradually enriching and improving the food safety control system, and participating in and leading a number of international, national and industry standards. In the field of edible oil packaging, the company's related products have entered the supply chain of well-known enterprises such as Oliveira olive oil, Longda peanut oil, Luhua peanut oil, and Arowana edible oil.
Huayuan Holdings' product updates are not limited to food packaging, and are currently breaking into the new energy industry. Focusing on the new energy vehicle industry in full swing, Huayuan Holdings has decisively opened up the new energy battery precision structural parts business after careful analysis of technology accumulation and industrial chain advantages, focusing on large cylinders and striving to do a good job in the extension of traditional business. The media also generally believes that the transformation of the new energy industry will allow Huayuan Holdings to once again enter the track of rapid development.
"We will adhere to independent innovation, market-oriented, anchor the development direction of 'specialization, refinement, and innovation', benchmark the 'international leading', take multiple measures in 'new materials, new technologies, new processes', etc., strengthen the research and development of 'small and beautiful' products, precipitate technology patents, and further lead the formulation of standards. Huang Xiaolin said.
Mode Updates:
"Intelligent Transformation and Digital Transformation"
Empower production transformation
Walking into the office building of Huayuan Holdings, you can see a large digital screen, which displays real-time production data such as quality data, real-time output, design capacity, production achievement rate, start-up rate, etc., as well as workshop production and production process. Standing in front of the large screen, you can call up the on-site production screen and real-time production data at any time to understand the production situation of more than 20 production bases across the country.
This is the "digital real-time interactive platform" of Huayuan Holdings, and the whole set of system and management logic behind it can help enterprises achieve lean production and effectively improve production efficiency and resource utilization.
In fact, Huayuan Holdings started the process of "intelligent transformation and digital transformation to network connection" very early. At the beginning, it is the simple automation of equipment, that is, the transformation of a single production equipment to make it have a certain automation capability; then the automation of the production line, relying on the equipment team, the automatic connection of each production link, supplemented by the intelligent control system, to realize the automatic production of the production line; finally, the interconnection of various plants, that is, the current "digital real-time interactive platform" of Huayuan Holdings.
Nowadays, walking into the factory of Huayuan Holdings, you can see that each production line is producing in an orderly manner, from raw material input to finished product packaging, it has been automated, and manual labor only exists as a "auxiliary role". For the improvement of production efficiency, it can be seen from an incision: a production line used to need more than 10 people, but now only a few people, the minimum is only 2 people.
"Promoting intelligent transformation is very important for manufacturing enterprises, and it is one of the decisive factors for enterprises to gain a firm foothold in the new situation. Li Zhicong said that in the future, Huayuan Holdings will unswervingly take the road of "intelligent transformation and digital transformation to network connection", simultaneously promote ecological green development, and realize the reduction of energy consumption and the improvement of overall efficiency of the whole line through the continuous upgrading and development of intelligent equipment, and continue to move towards a "near-zero carbon" factory, setting a benchmark for the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing enterprises and innovative development.
