Mould enterprise innovation service platform development needs

Since President hu jintao in CPC put forward "to improve the ability of independent innovation, building the innovative country", central and local government has "will accelerate transformation of the mode of economic development, improve the ability of own new upgrading of the industrial structure, promote China as" the manufacturing enterprise advanced manufacturing ahead of the important principles. Due to the modern manufacturing industry in the mold industry has an important position in the special mould industries, manufacturing and r&d level of national innovation ability become one of the important marks, therefore, as the national informatization of small and medium-sized enterprises is an important content of the advance in small and medium-sized enterprise service work.

In recent years China mold industry experience a rapid development stage, made remarkable achievements, but also challenges. Especially after 2008, the raw materials and labor costs rise and international financial crisis triggered global economic turmoil, making all mold enterprise are thinking about how to seek new growth in crisis and breakthrough, and began to realize "improving self-directed innovation capability is the development and enterprise to break through the difficulties only". How to "innovation" and "the product structure upgrade?" Is the Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises have to die with practical problems in the global economy, after the season, winter comes growing enterprises tightening of cash flow is difficult to support necessary for the independent research and development of human and financial investment.

According to the situation, mould industries in national actively promote industrialization of small and medium-sized enterprises informationization, the background, the fusion of China mold and die industry association, the asia-pacific company "mold industry small and medium-sized enterprise development innovation service platform" lean "(hereinafter referred to as" service platform construction projects. Service platform is a kind of help small and medium-sized enterprises to improve the mold industry independent research and innovation ability of comprehensive service platform, with advanced "grid computing clouds" as the platform, based on the "software as a service (SaaS)" the service mode, through the suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises provide advanced research tools, hardware platform of information service, the technical training, manufacturing business consulting and service outsourcing, help small and medium-sized enterprises gradually realize advanced manufacturing direction upgraded products and transformation.

According to statistics, China mould industry association in mold production volume has been ranked third in the world, and began to die mold importer, the exporter in 2008 sales of 950 million yuan, import for the fourth consecutive at more than $2 billion, the export of 19.22 billion dollars, mould import and export trade deficit the situation are improved greatly, only tens of millions of deficit.

In recent years China mold and die industry can experience a "golden development stage", and showed the characteristics of three aspects:

Total exports, industry and sustained growth

Since 2000, the national mold industry average rate is 20%. "11th five-year plan" period, industry, and two output, quality and level rise further, especially automobile manufacturing industry development, and IT has the enhancement, superior mould level of mold manufacturing equipment for mould technology level of ascension is ensured.

In high-end product structure, development

Mold industry product structure adjustment, with large, complex, long life and precision mould as a representative of the development of high technology content mold industry overall development speed faster than that of the mould, total about 35%.

Robert industry structure to the market and the cluster

From the industry structure, rapid development of private enterprises, the state-owned enterprise vitality, facing the market of professional mold factory quantity and improve faster and adapt to the characteristics of the mold production mold industry cluster areas (" die "or" die ") to obtain the considerable development zone, western underdeveloped regions and mould industry etc. There is also a greater progress.

Only in "gold development stage" won the self-critic domestic mold industry, also nots allow to ignore. China mold and die industry association CaoYanAn secretary-general says: "was compared with the developed countries, China mold and die industry in technology, or on management, there is a great disparity in large, precision. Special and complex, long life, the mould technology gap is particularly obvious..." Concretely speaking, these malaises mainly in the following three aspects:

In the product structure, and cheap product, with high-grade mould still need to import a lot of

China now imports from abroad every year to more than 20 million dollars, which is mostly the mould manufacturing mid-to-high class is not die. Domestic high-grade moulds since only about 50% with rate, Large, complex precision, long life, high technical content of mould etc accounted for only about 30% of total mould.

Although enterprise application value, new technology, but these new technology application level is not high

In recent years, China mold enterprise though introducing some foreign advanced production equipment and design and manufacturing software (CAD/CAM) for product development and production, but overall application level is not high, low value-added products, the specific performance of the overall Labour productivity lower than the world average level (China only 15 yuan on average per person, years).

Robert research funding shortage of scientific research strength, weakness, yet form of innovative technical support system for the public

In recent years, energetically advocate independent research and development and innovation ability construction process, the national policy and investment by leaning to foster industry enterprises promotion of independent research and development capacity (such as support backbone enterprises establish engineering technology research center, etc), and make their r&d base and r&d level greatly improved. But because of the market competition, the leading enterprise of small and medium-sized enterprises their technology progress is not obvious, the leading role in the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises, scientific research strength is very weak remain "money", "people", and "technology".

The problem is that the die and mould industry in China is not strong enough, still far from being mould power. But because of mould in manufacturing of product development, innovation and production is a unique role, making mould r&d and manufacture level of national innovation ability become important symbol. Therefore, we must make great efforts to promote the whole mold industry of independent research and development and innovation ability, the small and medium-sized enterprises as the main component of mould industries, their independent research and development capacity is particularly prominent and ascend.

Lean innovation service platform again into the industry manufacture level of ascension

According to the whole mold industry of independent research and development and innovation, and combining the current situation of domestic "lean", the latest development of the technology, China mold and die industry association cooperation, the asia-pacific company proposed "mold industry research and innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises lean service platform" project, which will help to improve the independent research and development of small and medium-sized enterprises and the innovation ability, through "lean" to promote the whole mold industry value-added products and achieve overall upgrade of industry.

The so-called "lean", is the enterprise implement differentiation strategy of an effective way. "Lean" 2 words is to distinguish China enterprise widespread generic type and follow the development strategy, i.e. sex by constantly improve and standardize enterprise development process, USES the advanced technology research, to improve the design quality and creating more value, make the product realization of high performance, high quality and profit.

The main service customer service platform is small and medium-sized enterprises in mold industry, also includes a large enterprise of lightweight user (for example, occasionally use some software user). Through this platform, small and medium-sized enterprises through Internet access various research can be calculated resources, including software tools (CAD/CAE/CAI/CAQ), r&d management platform (PDM/PLM/SDM) and hardware resources, can learn and use the latest software, Through the network to E - learning forms of development tools, learning and research method of lean manufacturing technology and die, Through the network technology and technical assistance, both at home and abroad for high-end mould talents for communication, the implementation of the downstream industry development; the collaborative product The new employee to study some simple and practical mould design and analysis tools.
