In recent years, Guangdong has been accelerating the development of high-end, intelligent, and green industries. Smart manufacturing pilot demonstration factories and national-level green factories are emerging at an accelerated pace. On May 17, Nandu reporters followed the "High-Quality Development Research Tour" Guangdong-themed interview event into Houjie Town, Dongguan, to find out how the "hidden champions" who produce industrial micro-cutting tools are "refined" to become "high-precision" in the industry.
Dingtai Hi-Tech has developed a micro drill needle with a diameter of 0.03 mm.
Compare a normal hair and a drill needle under a digital microscope. The drill needle is only one-third as thick as a hair. If you magnify it to 500 times, you will find that the surface of the drill needle has neat spiral patterns. The drill needle drills The smaller the holes and the smaller the spacing between the holes, the stronger the line connectivity and the higher the computing efficiency.
In Dongguan, which is the world's factory, this "hidden champion" company is a very important part of the manufacturing field. Dingtai Hi-Tech was founded in 1997. Its business scope covers cutting tool products, intelligent equipment, grinding and polishing materials, functional membrane materials, etc. Its products are widely used in PCB, 3C, mold, medical, new energy vehicles, aerospace and other industries, forming Competitive situation covering the entire industry chain. The company will be listed on the GEM of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in November 2022.
Wang Xin, chairman of Dingtai Hi-Tech.
Looking back on the early days of entrepreneurship, Wang Xin, chairman of Dingtai High-tech, said with a smile, "At that time, it was a small workshop with only a few people."
At the age of 16, Wang Xin stayed away from his hometown in Henan and came to Dongguan alone to become a toy maker. Factory assembly line worker.
In 1997, she returned to her hometown of Nanyang with her first pot of gold and perseverance, and founded Dingtai Hi-Tech.
In 2013, Wang Xin set her sights on a broader world and led Dingtai Hi-Tech back to Dongguan, creating a legend in the industry.
27 Over the past 27 years, Dingtai High-Tech has broken through many "stuck" key technologies through continuous independent research and development, got rid of its dependence on imported products and technologies, and achieved "import substitution". The company's independent research and development equipment coverage has reached more than 90%. Among them, the independently developed high-precision four-station PCB grinding machine tool, intelligent drill storage system, and intelligent product detection and correction system have filled the domestic technical gap in this field.
"The micro-drill needles we produce can be supplied in batches with a minimum diameter of 0.03 mm." At the sample level, Dingtai High-Tech has developed micro-drill needles with a diameter of 0.01 mm.
Wang Xin introduced to the research team that Dingtai Hi-Tech's PCB drill pin sales accounted for 26.5% of the global market share in 2023, making it the world's largest drill pin supplier. Currently, the three main production teams located in Henan, Dongguan, and Thailand have a total of less than 2,000 people.
has made the detection process intelligent, and the production line has been upgraded from early single-station processing to the current four-station processing, realizing online detection and online machine adjustment to ensure that product quality parameters are always within a reasonable range during the production process, and production efficiency is greatly improved. .
"In the past, it took 2,500 people to process 60 million drill pins a month at the peak; last year, only 1,500 people were needed to process 70 million drill pins a month." Wang Xin said that in the next few years, through digitalization and intelligence, Continue to improve production efficiency and improve the yield rate simultaneously. Taking the Henan factory as an example, the local person in charge plans to reduce the number of quality inspectors from more than 400 to about 20 within two to three years.
Intelligent and green production, and high-end industry are the transformation directions of Guangdong's traditional manufacturing industry in recent years. Smart manufacturing pilot demonstration factories and national-level green factories are emerging at an accelerated pace. Dongguan and Shenzhen are both pilot cities for the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises in Guangdong. They not only focus on the development of advanced manufacturing, but also drive the upgrading of more traditional industries.
With the continuous development of new quality productivity, traditional manufacturing has gradually transformed from labor-intensive to high value-added advanced manufacturing. “The purpose of our business is to provide food for everyone, so the business must develop and be competitive.” As Dingtai Hi-Tech upgrades and iterates, part of the labor force is diverted to newly developed factories and transferred to new business units. "These employees are just apprentices at the beginning. After long-term training by the company, they will become skilled workers or management cadres."
Wang Junfeng, co-president of Dingtai Hi-Tech.
Wang Junfeng, co-president of Dingtai High-tech, said that in the future, the production line will only need two types of people, and a large number of them will be needed. One is people who can adjust machines, and the other is people who can maintain equipment. Dingtai High-tech encourages employees to continuously improve their skills. On the one hand, it holds regular skills training courses, and on the other hand, it encourages everyone to improve their academic qualifications through policies.
"I started out as a worker, not even a craftsman, and got to where I am today through continuous learning. It's a lifelong regret that I didn't go to university." Wang Xin said, "In the past 20 years, I have worked hard to follow If you follow the pace of the company's development, you will continue to learn from your colleagues, customers, and every scene outside. Otherwise, you will not be able to communicate with others on the same frequency, nor will you be able to make appropriate decisions for the company, and you will be even less qualified to lead the company to a higher level. Develop further. "
"We must surpass ourselves." As an entrepreneur, Wang Xin's entrepreneurial spirit is full of tenacity; as the person in charge of the company, she has led Dingtai High-tech to continue to challenge upwards as the company has achieved remarkable results. .
"Currently, the application scenarios of drill needles are limited to mechanical drilling. We are worried that future technology growth will be too advanced and laser may replace mechanical technology. Therefore, we are already developing laser drilling technology. In the future, we may be able to Replace ourselves and don’t let others replace us.”
