36氪 was informed that Huadong Zhizheng Industrial Automation (Changshu) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Huadong Zhizheng”) recently announced the completion of tens of millions of yuan in Series A financing. This round of financing was invested by Raytheon Capital. Wang Yuzhen, general manager of Huadong Zhizheng, said. , this round of financing funds will be used for product research and development and new market expansion and other business aspects.
Huadong Zhizheng was established in 2018. It is a high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, production, sales and technical services, focusing on surface treatment coating systems, factory intelligent equipment production and robot system integration applications. The business of East China Zhizheng mainly includes the provision of automated production lines, automated workstations and related hardware equipment to factories; the service industries include aerospace, automobiles and parts, rail vehicles, construction, ships, heavy industry and home appliance industries.
In recent years, with the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, the maturity of my country’s industrial automation has gradually improved. Data show that the market size of my country’s industrial automation industry will reach 189.5 billion yuan in 2020, a year-on-year increase of 1.61%, and it is expected to reach 208.7 billion yuan in 2022. Wang Yuzhen, general manager of East China Zhizheng, said, “At present, the general-purpose automation equipment with simpler processes on the market is relatively mature, but we still need to see that the automation capability of production lines is still insufficient for complex workstations or subdivision processes. “
Huadong Zhizheng first entered the field of surface spraying treatment. Spraying is an important part of the production process of parts and products. Although my country has developed rapidly in the category of spraying robots, the overall level of automation in the spraying process still needs to be improved. The operation mode of manual loading and unloading + manual spraying is adopted.
East China Zhizheng Automation Solution
Huadong Zhizheng spraying automation solution can choose various types of industrial robots, with various sizes and configurations, in addition to the standard 6-axis automatic painting robot with horizontal waist joint, 7-axis pedestal robot is also available, which meets the requirements of painting Application requirements. At the same time, Huadong Zhizheng has developed relevant hardware equipment and software control systems in the loading and unloading links, precise positioning links, and workpiece conveying links to ensure the smooth operation of the automation solution.
Wang Yuzhen told 36氪: “Huadong Zhizheng’s spraying automation solution can realize automatic hooking and automatic positioning of materials, and rely on machine vision to determine the type of workpiece, and then feed back to the robot to automatically select paint to complete the spraying. This can help customers very well. Realize multi-variety and small-batch product production.”
At the same time, Wang Yuzhen said that the next-generation smart spraying production line must be modular, easy to reconfigure, and highly functionally flexible, suitable for precise spraying of small batches of various types of workpieces, and truly realize batch customized spraying; based on this , East China Zhizheng Company, Beihang University and Shanghai Jiaotong University scientific research team formed a close scientific research consortium to carry out the research and development of the next generation of spraying room, drying room and conveying system.
Huadong Zhi is implementing automation projects with different solutions. Its operation mode is similar to that of production line integrators, but unlike general production line integrators, its docking requirements are generally more specific and more flexible, which requires Huadongzhi is independently developing corresponding hardware equipment in multiple links; at the same time, Huadongzhi is forming a joint R&D team with customers in the process of solution proposal and implementation to jointly solve process problems in the implementation process. This cooperation model is especially applicable. In the national key industries represented by the military industry, aerospace and shipbuilding industries.
For example, in the process of automatic grinding of workpieces, due to the variety of workpieces and complex shapes, traditional general-purpose fixtures cannot be clamped. Huadong Zhizheng has developed professional tooling fixtures, which can complete workpiece grinding without changing or less changing, and improve the production efficiency of automated production lines.
In addition to the integrated research and development of automated production lines, Huadong Zhizheng is now beginning to focus on precision manufacturing and special robots. Huadong Zhizheng has independently developed spraying robot workstations, welding robots, parallel robots and other related products. The parallel robot platform will be used in the aviation and military manufacturing market, self-stabilizing platforms, heavy-duty assembly and mechanical testing applications in the future.
In terms of software control, Huadong Zhizheng’s production line control system can flexibly access the factory and third-party MES and ERP systems, and can generate digital twins. Users can view the order, production and delivery status in real time on the mobile terminal, and pass The program operates and controls the production line.
Wang Yuzhen said: “At present, the domestic demand for production line automation continues to be strong. When facing foreign established automation service providers, their delivery cycles are often long and the progress cannot be guaranteed; in contrast, East China Zhizheng can achieve efficient demand docking and Self-research capabilities can achieve rapid delivery of solutions, and at the same time can better meet customer needs, we also hope to achieve domestic substitution in the field of automation solutions through technology.”
Huadong Zhizheng serves many industries, including shipbuilding, construction, automobile and metal processing industries. Among them, Huadong Zhizheng in the automotive industry provides automatic robot production lines for battery trays and full robot production line solutions for automotive engine castings. Specific customers include XX
In terms of personnel, the scale of East China Zhizheng is currently dozens of people, and it is expanding rapidly; the core team members are from well-known universities such as Beihang University, and have many years of engineering experience accumulation and university technology landing ability.
