Domestic woodworking machine cost outstanding advantages

As labor costs in the country have risen steadily and traditional manufacturing industries are facing increasingly severe labor shortages, equipment is becoming more and more important for furniture manufacturers. How to reduce the number of employees and how to increase the output of the workers are key issues for woodworking machinery manufacturers.

A large number of woodworking machinery companies were gathered in the Lunjiao area of ​​Guangdong, and the Lunjiao Woodworking Machinery Chamber of Commerce was organized and organized spontaneously. As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, He Peixi, the chairman of Weldly Machinery, saw the manufacturing companies in the process of industrial upgrading and transformation. The urgent need for automated woodworking equipment and the development and development of CNC, industrial control, and network automation equipment.

In the new era, woodworking equipment is no longer simply a single device to complete simple processes such as drilling, blanking, and sawing. Traditional mechanical equipment can only be used in some standard process steps to save labor and save time. He Peixi said : "If you look at the manufacturing plants for home appliances, electronics, and communications equipment, you will find that their manufacturing equipment is much more advanced than furniture in the level of automation and intelligence. Especially in the field of automobile manufacturing, it can be said that it represents the top of mechanical automation. Level, it is also affected by these industries, we have increased the development of new types of woodworking processing equipment, through CNC, industrial control and the current more advanced network automation control, making sculpture, drilling, cutting and other processes more accurate, Achieve more special-shaped wood processing to better meet the needs of manufacturing companies for personalized production."

Although there are still some domestic manufacturers prefer to choose foreign imported equipment, domestic equipment is also slightly inferior to foreign in processing accuracy, and some high-end mechanical automation technology still has a strict technical monopoly on China, but the current Woodworking machinery and equipment are undoubtedly constantly upgraded.

Compared with imported equipment, He Peixi said that domestic equipment has several advantages over foreign countries: First, in terms of prices, Chinese equipment is superior to foreign ones in terms of freight and manufacturing costs, and is more easily accepted by a wider range of manufacturing companies; Secondly, in terms of maintenance and repair, the domestic company basically carries out post-repair maintenance free of charge, and can make rapid response, saving valuable production time for the factory; In addition, more and more automation equipments need to rely on technical support such as overall upgrades in the later period, single In this regard, the cost of upgrading abroad is quite high. “Different geographical and manufacturing environments have caused various inconveniences in the use of foreign equipment in factories. They are not necessarily applicable to all domestic manufacturing companies. Domestic equipment suppliers are closer to the market and understand factory usage habits and real needs. To better provide equipment and related services."

Actively expanding the European market In 2007, the import and export of woodworking machinery trade in China reached a historical high. Before 2008, the woodworking trade in China had a deficit, but after 2008, a surplus began to appear. With the recovery of the industry, there was a trade deficit again in 2011.

With the strong recovery of China's woodworking machinery trade, Chinese companies are actively exploring the European market. Hanover International Forestry Woodworking Fair, one of the international professional trade fairs, will be held in Hanover Exhibition Center from May 6th to May 10th this year. China has become one of the top 10 participating nations in the International Forestry Woodworking Fair.

Ma Qisheng said that there is still a gap between the level of woodworking machinery in China and the world's advanced level. To promote the healthy development of the industry, enterprises must be honest and self-discipline, and strengthen brand building.

In the international market, China's woodworking machinery industry is extremely competitive. China's mid-range products have little difference with international woodworking machinery in terms of geometric accuracy, product appearance, product structure performance, and noise indicators, but the price is only a fraction of them.

China's woodworking machinery has high quality mid-range products and a very good market competitiveness. However, judging from the technological development status of the entire industry, there is still a certain gap between the technological innovation capability of the domestic woodworking machinery manufacturing enterprises and that of advanced foreign companies in the same industry. With the rapid development of the global furniture industry and wood products industry, the simultaneous development of R&D and the introduction of new products will be an inevitable development trend. Lack of independent innovation capabilities and simultaneous R&D capabilities will affect the survival and development of woodworking machinery companies.

The general manager of the German Federation of Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing said that in 2012 German woodworking machinery was the main source of imports, with China ranking first. Currently, China's woodworking machinery industry is developing strongly and the market is full of vitality. Will it continue to maintain this trend in the coming years? , also need to observe. He stressed that "woodworking machinery is a mature industry. The development of the industry must be based on innovation. The increase in production costs forces manufacturers to increase their investment in machining. Therefore, successful woodworking machinery manufacturers must value sustainable development."

Jochen Koeckler, member of the Board of Directors of Hannover Messe AG, Germany, also stated that innovation has a very important position in the woodworking machinery industry. It is hoped that exhibitors will be able to demonstrate innovation through the platform of the International Forestry Woodworking Exhibition.

According to reports, Chinese enterprises exhibited at the 2013 Hannover International Forestry Woodworking Exhibition include large-scale woodworking machine tools, wood-based panel machines, and woodworking machinery accessories (such as blades, saw blades, etc.). At present, the overall technical level of domestic woodworking machinery is close to the advanced level in foreign countries, and the price advantage of its participating products adds weight to its global competitiveness.
