: The Chinese nation has experienced many hardships in history, but it has never been crushed. This new crown pneumonia epidemic is a major public health emergency with the fastest spread, the widest range of infections, and the most difficult prevention and control in my country since the founding of New China. This is a crisis and a big test. In the face of hardships, the vast number of party members and cadres and the masses in our province, under the strong leadership of the Provincial Party Committee, rose to the challenge and formed a united one, fully demonstrating the spirit and strength of defying difficulties and dangers and becoming more and more courageous. The Zhejiang News Client launched the column "Growing in Tribulation, Rising from Tribulation", focusing on reporting such a group of people and corporate models.
A few days ago, in the production workshop of Shanghai Electric Kangda Medical Equipment Group Co., Ltd. in Beilun District, Ningbo, a bus-mounted CT is about to be assembled and ready for shipment. "Recently, the demand for on-board CT for buses has increased significantly. We are producing at full capacity every day. Basically, we produce one unit and ship one unit. It is difficult to keep stock." said Guo Yongyang, general manager of Kangda Medical.
With the advancement of the resumption of work and production in various places, the flow of people and traffic in cities has gradually increased. The CT trucks produced by the previous enterprises appear to be a bit "awkward", and they have limitations when providing testing in communities, factories, railway stations, airports and other places. Sex is particularly obvious. In contrast, the on-board CT of buses has a higher degree of flexibility when traveling on urban roads, and is more in line with current market needs.
Kangda Intercontinental Meishan Plant has worked overtime to produce the shelter CT
. Since the outbreak of the CT
epidemic, the workload of CT scans in hospitals across the country has increased sharply; the order volume of CT equipment for medical device manufacturers has also increased significantly. As one of the few CT manufacturers in the province, Kangda Medical's production line has never stopped since the Spring Festival. From the beginning of the year under the pressure of the industrial chain to carry out 24-hour uninterrupted production, and then resolutely took over the bus CT order, within 3 weeks, all parties worked together to overcome a series of problems in the development of new products. This medical equipment company followed closely. The epidemic prevention and control situation continuously adjusts production and research and development work according to market demand.
"We don't wait for people to fight the ‘epidemic’. No matter how difficult it is, we have to make products." Guo Yongyang said. Since January 23, Kangda Medical has signed an order of 650 million yuan, totaling more than 1,000 equipment, and these orders are expected to be completed in early May this year.
"On-board CT is an independent'transformer', which can be opened and used at any time. It is often used in field hospitals and other harsh environments with strong shock-absorbing function." said Fan Qinwen, director of Kangda Medical’s on-board CT project. On-board CT is in use. When the time, the two sides can be quickly expanded, the area is expanded, and the internal calling system, automatic reading system, 5G remote diagnosis and other functions are all available.

. However, Kangda Medical is facing no small innovation challenges when it wants to switch from the original truck-mounted CT to the bus-mounted CT. "From trucks to buses, it seems that it is just a change of model, but it actually involves a series of technical problems such as power supply and fixed devices." Fan Qinwen said. Taking power supply as an example, the voltage required for on-board CT to work is about 380 volts, which is higher than the voltage used in daily life. Therefore, in order to ensure continuous operation of the equipment when used in emergency places, not only lithium batteries are required, but also often installed in the car. Silent generator power supply. However, the installation of generators cannot be implemented on smaller buses. At the same time, the instantaneous current of the vehicle-mounted CT is as high as 100A or more when starting, which puts forward higher requirements for continuous and safe power supply.
“The current for daily electricity consumption is only 16A. It is difficult to find a suitable interface for the on-board CT to enter emergency places such as residential areas, and it is impossible to work continuously.” Fan Qinwen said.
In order to overcome this series of problems, Kangda Medical quickly combined with bus companies, lithium battery factories, equipment manufacturers and other forces to jointly tackle the problems. "We are in meetings every day, constantly proposing new solutions. As soon as the car factory has a problem, we immediately re-test. It is the pressure under the pressure of the epidemic that made us solve it in only 3 weeks and the past 5 months to complete Things." Fan Qinwen said. After continuous discussions and dozens of tests before and after, the team finally ushered in results in the "brainstorming": the use of lithium batteries, super capacitors, and special transformers can provide continuous and stable power supply for bus CTs.
Currently, Kangda Medical has ordered more than 40 on-board CTs for buses from Xinjiang, Hebei, Chongqing, Anhui and other places.
From the ordinary CT in the early stage of the anti-epidemic, to the later square cabin CT, to today's vehicle-mounted CT... As the epidemic situation changesWith constant changes, Kangda Medical’s CT equipment production has also experienced several twists and turns.
At the beginning of the Lunar New Year, when upstream and downstream enterprises have not fully resumed work, there are many difficulties in the industrial chain supporting the production and sales of CT equipment. Among them, the equipment of bins used to install CT equipment during transportation is a headache for Guo Yongyang. It turned out that during the Spring Festival, many container board factories did not start construction, and “naked container” transportation was prone to bumps. "High-precision medical imaging equipment like CT is most afraid of bumps. Once the accuracy of the equipment is affected, there are many risks in later use." Guo Yongyang said. What should I do if
has no box plate? Kangda Medical's engineers gritted their teeth and came up with the "stupid way" of manual escort, such as sponge wrapping and hand-holding. Under such relatively "simplistic" conditions, the company finally delivered orders for CT equipment from various places as scheduled.
"The supply of CT equipment can keep up in an orderly manner, and the industry's production capacity can be improved. It is inseparable from the "one call to a hundred responses" and coordinated operations of various companies in the entire industrial chain." Guo Yongyang said, along with material suppliers, machining, and transportation industries Waiting for many upstream and downstream companies to resume work and production one after another, and the efficiency of the industrial chain of CT equipment has been effectively improved.
"Myanmar has installed two CT devices, one in Vietnam, and 20 mobile DR devices (digital X-ray photography systems) ordered by South Korea are waiting for delivery. Italy is also expected to have a demand for about 50 mobile DR devices..." Recently, Guo Yongyang has received many orders from overseas. The
reporter learned that, at present, Kangda Medical’s overseas orders are mainly ordinary CT equipment and mobile DR equipment, totaling more than 70 units. However, due to the inconvenience of transportation and other reasons, Kangda Medical's on-board CT is still rarely sold in foreign markets. "On-board CT is very large, with a mass of up to 18 tons, so it often relies on shipping; however, due to the epidemic, shipping has stopped in many places, and transportation has become a big problem." Guo Yongyang said.
To further develop overseas markets, Kangda Medical is actively looking for solutions.
"Docking with local vehicle factories, first shipping the CT equipment, and then assembling it locally, or cooperating with large domestic bus companies to effectively utilize its global inventory, etc., are all within our consideration." Guo Yongyang said, abroad There are many requirements for CT and other mobile medical equipment, which also increases the difficulty of developing overseas markets.
Guo Yongyang said that with the unremitting exploration and technological innovation of multiple industries, CT is showing good market prospects, and it is believed that these mobile medical equipment made in Zhejiang will play an important role in the battle against the epidemic.
