How long does it take to complete the design process of a crane?
On February 25, at the Weihua Intelligent Industrial Park in Changyuan City, the staff entered the corresponding parameters on the computer according to the customer's needs. It took less than 10 minutes to complete the customized design and quick drawing of a personalized "new Chinese-style" crane as required - it is understood that in other companies in the same industry, it currently takes two days or more to complete this work.
Liu Yonggang, vice president of Henan Weihua Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd., told reporters that this is a digital design system independently developed by the company. Through this system, 28 types of cranes can be quickly designed, covering most crane types.
As the saying goes, "Slow work makes the most of careful work." Is the quality of a crane designed and produced at such a fast pace guaranteed?
"The quality is not up to you, it is up to the customer and the order!" Liu Yonggang said that in January this year, the order contract amount of Weihua shares increased by 39% compared with the same period last year.
According to reports, in the past, cranes were divided into "European style" and "universal". "European-style" cranes are characterized by lightweight and precision, and can be called "technical players" among cranes; "universal" cranes are solid, powerful, and long-lasting, and are "power players". On May 28 last year, Weihua Group launched the "New Chinese-style" crane to the world, which combines the advantages of both cranes.
Through the application of new structures and new accessories, the "new Chinese-style" crane has reduced its height by 30%, its weight by 25%, and its overall energy consumption by 20%; through the application of a batch of new technologies, the impact force of the crane has been reduced by 90% without increasing costs, the noise has been reduced by 20 decibels, the swing amplitude has been reduced by more than 95%, and the control accuracy has reached 2 mm. In addition, with the joint action of central information processors, sensors, big data centers, etc., cranes can be controlled through voice and gestures, and online equipment monitoring and remote operation and maintenance can also be realized. "New Chinese-style" cranes have "intelligent" and "new skills".
Relying on the hard power of science and technology, we not only export products to the market, but also export standards to the industry. After launching the "New Chinese-style" crane, Weihua Group drafted the "New Chinese-style" crane industry standard, which is expected to be officially released and implemented in June this year.
"Chinese companies can develop new standards that are superior to foreign ones.We have this confidence. Han Hong'an, chairman of Weihua Group, said that more than 5,000 "new Chinese-style" cranes have been sold in more than half a year since they were launched, and have been sold to dozens of countries and regions. They have been widely recognized by domestic and foreign customers, and the future is promising.
