For the construction of a high-end automated production line for high-precision valve parts weighing more than thousands of kilograms and with a batch of at least 10 pieces, Mr. Liang Guihua, chairman of Xipai Group Co., LTD., made this decision in 2019, almost all the company’s senior executives were opposed and questioned by peers: “Such a small batch of automation is not sensationalistic”, “all kinds of different types of valves, different sizes and all kinds of special materials, how to achieve automation”, “how to ensure product quality”… Now, in the past three years, this integrated 6 high-end processing centers, the length of nearly 100 meters, can be called the Asia-Pacific region’s largest flexible production line for multi-variety small-batch production has been successfully run, in the production efficiency doubled, production personnel reduced by 40% excellent performance to smash all doubts at the same time, but also become the “fixed sea needle” of the west intelligent Dream Factory. It has laid a solid foundation for its ranking among the most complete high-end valve manufacturing enterprises in China.

“For manufacturing companies, to be better, they must have their own unique advantages. For the West, I think it’s intelligence.” Mr. Liang Guihua introduced, “Anchoring the lights-out factory and the digital factory, Xipai is taking this flexible line as the starting point to continue to strengthen the core barriers for future manufacturing challenges.”
