Joihey Company Attends "Intelligent Manufacturing Forum for Special-Purpose Vehicles" and Delivers Keynote Speech

2023 05/30

On May 29, 2023, the "China Specialized Vehicle Intelligent Manufacturing Transformation and Upgrading Summit Forum"—hosted by the Machinery Industry Information Research Institute and the Suizhou Bureau of Economy and Information Technology—was grandly convened in Suizhou. The conference centered on discussions regarding topics aimed at fostering high-quality development within the manufacturing sector, including the pathways for realizing automated transformation and upgrading, as well as the deep integration of manufacturing with the digital economy.

As a leading enterprise in the electrostatic coating equipment sector—boasting over two decades of experience in the finishing industry—Joihey Company was honored to have its General Manager, Mr. Xie Zhichao, serve as a distinguished guest speaker at the conference. Delivering a presentation titled "Eco-friendly Electrostatic Powder Coating and Automation for Specialized Vehicles," Mr. Xie offered an in-depth analysis of the development and process upgrades regarding intelligent, automated coating manufacturing within the specialized vehicle industry. He elucidated the current landscape and future trends, while also providing an overview of the principles and characteristics of electrostatic powder spraying. Indeed, intelligent automated manufacturing has emerged as a pivotal instrument for accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system, as well as a primary strategic direction for driving the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing sector.

Currently, the construction machinery industry faces a landscape characterized by increasingly stringent national environmental and safety regulations, inherent defects in traditional coating processes, the imperative for corporate industrial upgrading, and high operating costs. As a core driving force of the Industry 4.0 era, intelligent manufacturing is gradually becoming the mainstream. Compared to traditional manual painting techniques, automated powder coating processes offer distinct advantages, including low initial investment, minimal pollution, low material consumption, reduced operating costs, and high efficiency.

Principle: Powder coating involves using specialized spraying equipment to apply a powder-based coating onto the surface of a workpiece. Under the influence of electrostatic forces, the powder adheres uniformly to the workpiece surface, forming a powdery layer. This powdery layer is then subjected to high-temperature baking, during which it melts, levels out, and cures to form a final coating with a variety of distinct finishes.

Features: By integrating smart and digital technologies into the spraying process, this system effectively leverages Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to enhance the management of coating equipment. This approach improves the controllability of the production process, minimizes manual intervention on the production line, enables the real-time collection of production data, and facilitates the rational scheduling of production plans and progress. Ultimately, it fulfills comprehensive requirements for quality traceability, equipment awareness, remote monitoring and control, and data analytics—thereby establishing a coating production chain that is highly efficient, energy-saving, eco-friendly, and ergonomically designed for a comfortable working environment.

Currently, digitalization and intelligentization represent key trends in the development of China's real economy, as well as the indispensable path toward building a manufacturing powerhouse and a nation of high-quality production. Moving forward, Junhe will keep pace with the currents of the times, fully leveraging its technological strengths to focus closely on the high-end, intelligent, and green development of the manufacturing sector. By facilitating the intelligent manufacturing transformation of the specialized vehicle industry, the company aims to further enhance its competitiveness.
