The indicator lights on the production line keep flashing, and the golden and shiny gas valve parts are neatly arranged on the conveyor belt. As the robotic arm swings up and down, each part is assembled together and quickly moves to the next production process
At the end of 2020, the intelligent production workshop of Zhongshan Frd Gas Appliance Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Frd Gas Appliance") was officially put into use, with automatic production equipment such as pressure regulating valve automatic production line, pressure reducing valve automatic production line, QCC automatic production line, and lever automatic production equipment. It is worth mentioning that most of these devices are independently developed by Furund Gas Appliances, which has promoted a 50% increase in production efficiency and an average 15% improvement in product quality.
Independent innovation is the secret to the rapid development of Furun De gas appliances.
Established in 2015, Frd Gas Appliances is a professional enterprise engaged in the design, research and development, manufacturing, and sales of gas valves. In just 7 years, the enterprise has successfully embarked on the path of valve physical industry development, achieving double-digit growth in production and sales every year, gradually emerging in the gas appliance industry.
Looking back at the storms encountered in the process of entrepreneurship, Li Huadeng, chairman of Furun Tak Gas Appliances, cannot forget the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 on the development of enterprises, nor the solidarity and joint efforts brought by the epidemic to enterprises. At that time, due to the impact of the epidemic, there was a shortage of personnel in the enterprise, resulting in production capacity not keeping up and facing shipping difficulties. Li Huadeng recalled that in order to keep up with production capacity, one and a half of the eight production lines in the enterprise's production workshop were suspended by more than 30 administrative and logistics personnel. They buried their heads in hard work and sweat, unknowingly for two months, they propped up the enterprise's production capacity and reputation.
At that time, everyone's unity infused an endless source of endogenous energy into the enterprise, helping it overcome the biggest difficulties since its inception. It can be said that it was the employees who achieved the success of the enterprise, and the resulting corporate culture of 'not accepting defeat, not accepting defeat' continued to nourish the employees, "Li Huadeng said with emotion.
In just a few years, the secret for enterprises to grow from scratch and from weakness to strength lies in "independent innovation". Li Huadeng introduced that gas valves are mainly used in pipeline pipelines, with high safety factors and strict requirements for the entire process flow and product quality. In order to remain neutral in the industry and remain invincible, enterprises have persisted in independent innovation since the early stages of entrepreneurship, dedicating 10% of their output value to technological research and development every year. They have also decisively eliminated outdated production capacity in response to market demand and focused on developing high-tech products.
2018 is a crucial year for the rapid development of the enterprise. The enterprise has established a technology research and development team, established a professional laboratory recognized by the authoritative certification agency CSA, and obtained the qualification recognition of "Guangdong Province High tech Enterprise". This series of measures and recognition marks that the enterprise has officially acquired the ability to independently test, judge, and optimize its products, which undoubtedly serves as a "propellant" for the development of the enterprise.
Due to the persistent pursuit of technological innovation, Li Huadeng led his technical team to tirelessly explore the path of technological research and development, constantly trial and error, experiencing failures, and achieving success. As of 2021, the enterprise has obtained 36 national invention patents in the production technology of gas valves. These invention patents have been applied to product production, and high-end gas valves with independent intellectual property rights are constantly innovating and widely recognized in the market. Among them, there are many industry-leading patented technology products, among which the "pressure regulating valve structure" patent is one of them. This technology focuses on using gear structure instead of traditional riveting structure, allowing the airflow to smoothly pass through the pressure regulating section, thus achieving a dual effect of stabilizing pressure and flow. This patent solves the common problems in the gas valve industry, such as unstable pressure and difficulty in ensuring assembly accuracy, in one fell swoop, making gas applications safer and more energy-efficient. This patent brings nearly 2 million yuan in net profit to the enterprise every year.
