On December 9th, a new round of technological transformation work in Guangdong Province was grandly held in Shunde. At the meeting, Liu Zhigeng, Vice Governor of Guangdong Province, fully affirmed Shunde's technological transformation work in an interview with reporters. "Shunde's technological transformation work ranks among the top in Guangdong Province, and several Shunde enterprises inspected yesterday have achieved great results in technological transformation.


As a leading enterprise in the electric water heater industry that integrates research and development, manufacturing, and marketing, Weber Company's technological transformation achievements are naturally also under investigation. On the afternoon of December 8th, accompanied by Chairman Ou Yongyuan and Vice Chairman Ou Jieying, a delegation of nearly 200 provincial, municipal, and district government leaders and enterprise representatives attending the technological transformation conference focused on visiting the automated intelligent manufacturing workshop.


Entering the workshop, the sound of "squeaking, roaring" machines filled my ears, and I saw one large machine after another, including the German EISENMANN electrostatic dry powder enamel production line, the Italian APES plasma welding production line, the German WAGNER spraying line, the automatic continuous punching line, the robot end cover line, and so on. However, in such a large workshop of 5692 square meters, there were very few employees, at most only more than 10 people.


It is reported that in the past three years, Weber Group has actively carried out industrial technology transformation projects such as "intelligent energy-saving water heater research and development", "information system construction", and "energy-saving water heater research and development", focusing on promoting "automation and intelligence" measures and achieving the transformation and upgrading from traditional manufacturing to lean manufacturing. The use of self robots not only greatly saves labor costs and enhances worker safety through automation, but also effectively improves product reliability and stability. As of 2015, Weber Group has invested over 100 million yuan in technology transformation projects, with a material utilization rate of 99.8% and a reduction in emissions rate of 6% -7%.


The intelligent technology transformation of Weber has changed the processes and procedures of traditional manufacturing enterprises, improving manufacturing efficiency, "said Chairman Ou Yongyuan." The intelligent technology transformation has become a powerful guarantee for Weber Group to improve product quality, enhance enterprise strength, and participate in domestic and international market competition.
