What do relevant manufacturing industry practitioners in the mainland say now?
As Chen Yi said, compared to companies in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, technology is not a problem, but attitude is a big problem.
But Chen Yi also understands them. After all, the industrial system in the mainland has been out of date for some reasons, so some things have not been inherited by these people.
Among other things, fertilizers were mass-produced not long after the mainland's nuclear submarines were launched, and everyone has never been hungry again.
Why?
Because after the related materials for nuclear submarine shells were successfully developed, they were immediately applied to the field of ammonia synthesis.
Ammonia is the most important raw material in the fertilizer industry, and the connection between them is very clear, and everyone can understand it without going into too much detail.
However, some of the people sitting below are obviously from the same generation as the first generation workers in the mainland. Some things that should have become a system have not been passed down well, so now Chen Yi is needed to remind them that an industrial system wants to move forward. How to do it.
The problems they ignore have always existed, and as time goes by, more problems will be exposed. At that time, everyone can only face these problems with a frown and a loss.
But now someone has finally clearly stated a complete theory of industrial upgrading, showing everyone an intuitive overall picture.
"Those old masters in your factory who are treated like treasures, and even those national treasures who are above the level of eighth-level workers are all you are covering up for fear of being poached by others. I want to borrow them and follow them one by one. Guard me like a thief.
They are all treasures worth a thousand dollars, and I admit that they are priceless treasures.
Because these masters rely on their own experience and feel, they can make manual processing much more accurate than machines. Even many parts with complex special-shaped surfaces can only be processed by these masters controlling various non-CNC machine tools.
You can't process some of the core components of PLA's equipment, but those national treasures can be easily processed.
This is all because it is relatively simple for current CNC machine tools to automatically process plane surfaces, but they are unable to process parts with complex shapes.
However, most of you are still too narrow-minded and are simply begging for food with a golden rice bowl!
You just fancy that the machining accuracy of these masters is higher than that of machine processing.
But I think they will play an even greater role in the intelligent era!
As the machining accuracy of machines becomes higher and higher, and the shapes of parts that can add power become more and more complex, do you think that the old masters are useless?
Because of this slightly controversial topic, many business owners in the mainland, including you, are thinking about whether it is worth spending so much money and so much time to train a master who is destined to be eliminated by machines in the future?
I want to say that this kind of thinking is very ridiculous. You still don’t know what I like about these old masters.
Let me tell you something: People are addicted to food!
People who think that these master craftsmen will be eliminated by machines must be people who have been sitting in the office and away from the front-line production site for a long time!
Starring Technology and various companies in the Chip Alliance's desire for such masters has not only not decreased with the intelligence of production equipment, it has even increased greatly!
Gree's previous production lines only required front-line workers with a level no lower than Level 4 for normal operation. This requirement would not cause any major problems as long as they were skilled workers, but now there is no need to work without level 6. The first-line surgeon, all those below level 6 are under the knife!
BYD New Energy Automobile Factory is similar to Gree, and their recruitment requirements for design positions have strict regulations on worker levels and years of working in front-line production.
Many of you are upstream suppliers of Gree and BYD. I don’t believe you haven’t noticed this.
Maybe some old masters do not have as high a theoretical level as those designers sitting in the office.
But when there is a problem with the on-site machine, many designers have to dismantle the machine and check it carefully to know what is wrong. However, these masters only need to take a look at the finished product coming out of the production line, or You can tell where the problem is by listening and touching the machine.
The experience of these masters cannot be exchanged for the high theoretical knowledge level of designers sitting in the office. Intelligent production will not have an impact on their status, and will even make their importance more prominent! "
Everyone present looked at Chen Yi thoughtfully, and they had already figured this out by turning their heads quickly. They are all leading players in the mainland's metal manufacturing and processing industry, and they can easily understand what Chen Yi wants to express. the meaning of.
On the surface, intelligent production seems to replace a large amount of labor, but in fact, if you want to improve the intelligent production line, the number of workers required is increasing, and the quality requirements are getting higher and higher.
The status of these masters seems to be threatened, but they are the most stable group. Only illiterate bosses who have little education will find this group a burden.
How should intelligent production equipment be designed, how should raw materials be processed, and even from what angles should the tools on machine tools be used.
All these standards are formulated based on the experience of these masters. When it comes to industrial upgrading, what kind of problems exist in the entire production system and how to improve them will be the fastest discovered by these masters. Everything depends on them. That rich experience.
In fact, Chen Yi believes that the so-called intelligent production is nothing more than converting the experience of these masters into quantifiable data, and then writing these data into the program, so that the machine can perform fixed execution according to the program.
Even with this data, it will be easier to train the next generation of workers, because more and more standards that are beneficial to front-line production are being formulated or replaced, and the next generation of workers only need to operate according to the new generation of the most advanced standard processes. .
At the same time, this also allows many workers with low theoretical levels to get more time to supplement their theoretical knowledge, so that they can make up for their shortcomings and enable them to independently design and develop new processes as soon as possible.
Most people at the scene were thinking: Does Chen Yi want to optimize the production structure of the metal manufacturing and processing industry through this industrial upgrade?
Sure enough, they listened to Chen Yi continue to say: "Of course, there is also a problem when updating the production line. Some junior workers do not work long enough, so they also lose the opportunity to get sufficient training, but this does not mean that It's no use keeping them.
The new production line means new standards. At the same time, the master craftsmen will also summarize more efficient production regulations, and the speed of improvement of the technical level of these workers will also increase simultaneously.
In the past, it only took about two years for a master chef to teach his own eating skills to an apprentice without reservation. After two years, the apprentice could become a master on his own.
Now, according to statistics from the Western Vocational Workers Technical Association, this time has been compressed to within one and a half years, and the proportion of time they spend learning basic professional theoretical knowledge has also greatly increased compared with before.
Therefore, I will give you twice as much grace time.
Three years!
You only have three years at most from now on. After three years, the output of organic polymer materials will reach 500 million tons! "
hiss--
After hearing this number, everyone gasped, but before they could fall into such horror, Chen Yi gave everyone a heavier blow.
“Don’t forget, the density of steel is four to six times that of organic polymer materials.
In other words, 500 million tons of organic polymer materials can replace 20 to 3 billion tons of steel materials in three years! "
With a bang, everyone couldn't bear it any longer, and the steel giants all showed panic expressions.
After this, after the steel is smelted and not further processed, will it really become scrap metal? !
Take fiberglass, a representative of organic polymer materials with light weight and high strength, to compare the various indicators of ordinary steel.
It is much better than ordinary steel in terms of corrosion resistance, flame retardancy, sealing, aging resistance, design shaping, earthquake resistance, antimagnetic, and low temperature resistance.
The only disadvantage that is not a disadvantage is that the maximum working temperature of more than a dozen models of general-purpose FRP cannot exceed 300 degrees.
But this shortcoming is only relative. In industries such as construction, bridges, transportation, chemical pipelines, and machinery that consume the most steel, the temperature change only exceeds room temperature by about 100 degrees at most. FRP is more than adequate for these tasks.
In other words, after three years, ordinary steel will become scrap iron!
But unlike this group of blacksmiths, those who mined just shrugged indifferently. Anyway, more than 70% of the domestic iron ore is imported.
If the steel production capacity is to be greatly reduced, the first thing to enjoy the impact will be Alto, Billiton and Vale, the three blue star iron ore giants. This will be a disaster for the three major mining giants, but for the mainland's local iron ore The logging industry is a boon.
Anyway, the share they provide every year is just enough for those special steels. No matter how they are hit, their losses will not be huge with the three major mining giants of Blue Star as human shields.
But others can't be so calm, this is going to kill them!
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen!
It’s okay for me to call you grandpa. Please give me a chance! "
"Mr. Chen, I want to be a good person, can you give me a chance?"
"Elder Chen, I beg you, just accept your magical powers!"
Chen Yi was amused by all kinds of strange and solemn pleading words at the scene.
Looking at the pleading expressions of a group of steel giants, Chen Yi shook his head and said: "Whether you can continue to survive actually does not depend on me or you, but on them."
Chen Yi pointed at the group of people engaged in metal processing. These little transparent people looked confused. They came here just because Chen Yi wanted them to take the initiative to link up with the steel industry for industrial upgrading.
After all, the quality of steel is also related to the quality of their own products, but Chen Yi didn't expect that something was wrong with what he meant.
They may also play a very important role in preventing steel from becoming scrap metal.
"Mr. Chen, although we don't want China's steel companies to decline, at most we can only play a part in it. The specifics are up to them. What can we people do to help them?"
