The development trend of machinery manufacturing
The machinery manufacturing industry is the main body of the industry. Today it has developed into a large-scale and all-encompassing industry. Mechanical manufacturing is the general term for the manufacturing process of various machinery, machine tools, tools, instruments, and meters. Products related to the machinery manufacturing industry cover many areas of household appliances, auto parts, construction machinery and factory equipment. Mechanical manufacturing technology is an engineering technology that studies the processing principles, technological processes and methods of these mechanical products, and corresponding equipment. The machinery manufacturing industry is the foundation and pillar of the national economy, and is the technical equipment department that provides tools, instruments and various mechanical equipment to other departments. The following four directions will become the development trend of the machinery manufacturing industry in the next few years.
(1) Technology integration
In many fields of machinery manufacturing, electronic control and software technology are at least as important as pure mechanical engineering. Germany's Glendibach Machinery Manufacturing Company is the world's largest company that produces glass processing systems for large integrated glass manufacturing plants. The company's software control and electronic mechanical devices account for about 1/3 of its output value.
(2) Service thinking
In various fields, from elevators to power generation equipment, factory equipment, etc., the profits of manufacturers have increased mainly not because they produce products in the catalog according to fixed specifications, but because manufacturers can manufacture products according to user requirements to meet special requirements. Demand. In addition, the value of output is also increased by selling additional services such as repairs or other "after-sales" services.
(3) Global product development
For example, Whirlpool Corporation, the largest home appliance manufacturer in the United States, reorganized its global product development team composed of 2,000 engineers to focus on broadly developing new products and shorten the development time of certain new products.
(4) Update production strategy in printing presses, etc.
In a number of industries, machinery manufacturers are borrowing ideas from the automotive industry to build different products put into different markets on the same basic engineering structure, and then modify the design in the later stages of the manufacturing process, so that the products can be adapted to specific customer groups Needs.
