The packaging machinery industry is the extensive and ever-changing market. Compared with the automation transformation of other traditional equipment manufacturing industries, the development of packaging technology has a stronger demand for automated precision control, and will greatly drive the development and innovation of automation products and systems. As a new domestic industrial automation company, Raynen Automation is also paying close attention to the changes and needs of the packaging machinery industry. Recently, Mr. Wang Chunyu, Secretary-General of the Southern Packaging Enterprise Alliance and President of Shanghai Bosu Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., visited Raynen Technology's Shanghai headquarters. During the visit, we had the honor of listening to Secretary-General Wang's analysis and judgment on the new development trends of the packaging machinery industry, and discussing with him hot topics such as the industry's intelligent manufacturing transformation. We now excerpt the dialogue text and share it with industry practitioners.
* Southern Packaging Enterprise Alliance
Shangfang Packaging Enterprise Alliance is an industry association composed of packaging products, packaging printing, packaging machinery and packaging raw and auxiliary materials manufacturers. The association members are distributed in East China and China. The association actively carries out packaging industry exchange activities, aiming to strengthen industry coordination and management, improve packaging independent innovation capabilities, and promote the development of the packaging industry.
Mr. Wang Chunyu talks about the development trend of the packaging industry
Packaging and printing technology is widely used, covering various fields of the national economy such as food, beverages, medicine, chemicals, household appliances, papermaking, publishing, and logistics. The domestic packaging machinery industry is closely related to the development of local characteristic economy and the distribution of downstream industries. There are relatively large differences between the north and the south. The north is dominated by pharmaceutical packaging machinery, while the south is dominated by food consumption packaging machinery. In short, the packaging machinery industry is an industry dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, and the degree of automation is relatively high. It is greatly affected by the support of national industrial policies and the development of downstream industries.
The automatic control system is the control core of the packaging machinery, and it is also the key to determining the level of automation and intelligence of the packaging machinery. We know that Raynen Technology has been refined and strengthened from the electronic control system of textile machinery, step by step, and extended to the field of general automation, covering the industrial automation control system'control layer-drive layer-execution layer'. Raynen belongs to the upstream of the industrial chain of the packaging machinery industry. From the perspective of the development of the industrial chain, the degree of fit between us determines the overall development of the industry. At present, the domestic packaging machinery industry mainly chooses foreign brands for automation products and systems. In recent years, due to the influence of the macro-economy and the strong rise of domestic brands, domestic automation brands have been increasingly valued. Excellent domestic automation brands like Raynen should work with domestic packaging machinery companies to make China's packaging machinery industry bigger and bigger and go global.
Mr. Wang Chunyu talks about the needs of packaging machinery companies
The technical level of domestic automation products is getting closer and closer to foreign brands, and even surpasses some foreign brands in some individual products and solutions. In the field of food packaging machinery, we have begun to choose domestic servo systems on a large scale for replacement, and they are compatible with foreign brand products, which can effectively reduce the production and maintenance costs of packaging machinery companies. In addition to technology and cost, the important consideration for packaging machinery companies in choosing automation brands is service and timeliness of service. Since packaging machinery companies are small and medium-sized enterprises, controlling machines to complete packaging and production is a very complex and multidisciplinary system. The relevant technical personnel of the company cannot handle the problems in time, which requires upstream automation manufacturers to solve problems in a timely and effective manner to ensure production and efficiency.
Another very urgent demand and challenge in the packaging machinery industry is the customized demand and service for automation systems. The packaging machinery industry has no less demand for customized solutions than other industries. At present, packaging technology is developing very fast, from the upgrading and transformation of traditional packaging materials to the use of new materials, new aseptic technology, and the use of modified atmosphere preservation. With the changes in the personalized needs of downstream customers for packaging technology, how packaging machinery manufacturers can provide diversified stand-alone machines and intelligent production lines to meet their needs for automated production is also a problem that domestic packaging machinery companies must solve when they go global, and it is also a problem that domestic brands such as Raynen must pay attention to when entering the packaging machinery industry.
Mr. Wang Chunyu is full of expectations for Raynen Technology
I know that Raynen has done very well in the textile industry and is the hidden champion of the industry. After years of precipitation and iteration in the industry, its software and hardware technology and digital capabilities have the technology and capabilities to develop towards general and other industries. Recently, Raynen's launch of industrial Internet of Things products and the upcoming new generation of servo systems also make me believe that you can choose the packaging machinery industry as a new outbreak starting point. This time is also very good. Contribute to the development of this industry with your technical advantages and service capabilities, and grow with customers. This is also Raynen's value concept. We hope that Raynen Technology will continue to move forward and make breakthroughs in the field of automation, become a supplier of intelligent automation products and system solutions, and contribute to the development of China's intelligent manufacturing in the world.
