Sun Zhiqiang, Chairman of Ruisong Technology

Every 54 seconds, a complete vehicle can be offline, reducing labor costs for enterprises by 15.6 million yuan per year... The first independently developed door cover intelligent assembly and adjustment line tailored by Ruisong Technology for Chang'an Mazda in China is a busy scene, demonstrating the charm of technology.
 

As a high-tech innovation board company specializing in robotics and intelligent manufacturing equipment, Ruisong Technology is committed to providing customers with flexible and intelligent manufacturing system solutions, and has accumulated considerable competitive advantages in the fields of flexible, intelligent welding, and assembly.
 

Since this year, despite the impact of the epidemic on the automotive industry chain, Ruisong Technology has achieved counter trend growth. The company achieved a revenue of 286 million yuan in the first quarter, a year-on-year increase of 49.28%; The net profit was 7.4618 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 204.04%.
 

Why can Ruisong Technology grow against the trend? Recently, a reporter from Shanghai Securities News interviewed Sun Zhiqiang, Chairman and President of Ruisong Technology.
 

Continue to deepen the business of new energy vehicles
 

In the prominent part of the Ruisong Technology Exhibition Hall, there is a sample of the bottom plate of the battery tray of a new energy vehicle. Almost every visitor can't help but touch it and marvel. The entire bottom plate is integrated, and each connection is flat and smooth without welding traces.
 

According to reports, this bottom plate is welded by a robot system independently developed by Guangzhou Ruisong Wellstone Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., a Sino German joint venture of Ruisong Technology. This equipment can solve the problems of cracks and pores in the welding process, without flash and spark splashes, and reduces the original polishing and cleaning procedures.
 

On December 20, 2021, the "Intelligent Friction Stir Welding Technology and Key Equipment for Light Alloy" project of Ruisong Technology passed the scientific and technological achievements appraisal, reaching the international advanced level. Among them, the robot friction stir welding system has obtained the EU CE certification. This technology effectively solves the problems existing in the packaging box structure of new energy vehicles, and provides a complete solution for the production and manufacturing of new energy vehicles.
 

"New energy vehicles are lighter than ordinary fuel vehicles, and most of them are made of all aluminum or aluminum alloy materials, with higher technological requirements. Currently, we have mastered relevant welding core technologies and established our competitive advantage by building technical barriers." Sun Zhiqiang told reporters that the current company's new energy vehicle business is growing rapidly, with automation accounting for more than 30% of the company's overall automotive business, which has become a new revenue growth point.
 

The company has conducted in-depth cooperation with multiple new energy vehicle customers such as Toyota, Honda, GAC Aian, Xiaopeng, Zero Run, BYD, Geely, and Hechuang.
 

"The company has the ability to contract intelligent and flexible manufacturing lines for new energy vehicles." Sun Zhiqiang revealed that in the second quarter, Ruisong Technology undertook a zero run new energy vehicle welding production line of 215 million yuan, as well as a welding workshop production line for the Guangqi Ai'an New Energy Vehicle Capacity Expansion Project of 107 million yuan.
 

"There is a large space for the new energy vehicle industry, and Ruisong will continue to deeply explore the intelligent manufacturing market of new energy vehicles," said Sun Zhiqiang.
 

Expand more business segments
 

In the Ruisong Technology Plant, a variety of robots and high-end equipment can be found everywhere, and they will be applied to intelligent and flexible intelligent manufacturing in all walks of life. After forming a complete set of turnkey engineering solutions through production process plan analysis, overall line planning, design, manufacturing, debugging, and installation, Ruisong Technology will send equipment to downstream enterprises in multiple fields such as automobiles, 3C electronics, elevators, ships, and aerospace to assist in the development of high-end manufacturing industry.
 

"Affected by factors such as the increasing labor costs and the epidemic situation, using robots to replace people in production has become an inevitable trend in the transformation and development of the manufacturing industry." Sun Zhiqiang said that Ruisong Technology has vigorously developed automation businesses in industries such as engineering machinery, 3C, aerospace, ocean engineering, elevators, and ships, and has currently achieved good results in various fields. In 2021, the construction machinery business of Ruisong Technology increased by approximately 972.50% year-on-year.
 

It is understood that in 2021, Ruisong Technology completed about 30 projects in the field of construction machinery, serving many leading enterprises such as Sany Heavy Industry, Zoomlion Heavy Technology, Shanhe Intelligent, Guangxi Construction Engineering, Guangdong Fuhua, etc. Its business covers automatic production lines such as hoppers, standard sections, tower cranes, excavators, and pump trucks in the construction machinery industry.
 

In the field of precision electronics, Ruisong Technology has designed and built an international brand mobile phone battery precision assembly robot production line for customers, using a self-developed modular flexible line design, greatly improving the automation level of battery assembly and production.
 

"Advanced manufacturing, industrial interconnection, and digitization are inevitable trends." Sun Zhiqiang said that the company will deeply explore the application of various industrial segments, and continue to expand the market segments.
 

Win the initiative with continuous innovation
 

Machine vision is another important direction for the development of Ruisong Technology. "Machine vision products are one of the indispensable key components for intelligent manufacturing and unmanned chemical plants." Sun Zhiqiang said that in the past, many processes such as positioning, gluing, testing, and so on require highly experienced technical workers to complete. Today, robots are fully capable of this type of task. Through machine vision products, using AI+3D and ultra fast algorithms, they can perform real-time appearance detection, accuracy detection, feedback information, and other processes.
 

Ruisong Technology has been developing and tackling the field of machine vision since 2016. In 2021, it launched two completely independently developed visual products. Up to now, the company has sold thousands of machine vision products, which are expected to bring considerable revenue to the company this year.
 

Ruisong Technology has also focused its attention on industrial software. In August 2021, the company invested 30 million yuan to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary, Guangzhou Feishu Industrial Software Co., Ltd., focusing on the development, sales, service, and industrial ecological construction of simulation and manufacturing industrial software and platforms. In December 2021, the company released the newly developed industrial software product EAXY Design 2022.
 

Industrial software is the core technology for the intelligent transformation and development of manufacturing industry. "Based on our experience in various aspects of the robot and intelligent manufacturing industry and our deep perception of user pain points, we are determined to independently develop industrial software." Sun Zhiqiang believes that Ruisong Technology has the conditions and foundation to develop industrial software, and is confident to take this "first step.".

Sun Zhiqiang expressed that, as a powerful promoter of China's robot and intelligent manufacturing industry and an innovator of its own brand, Ruisong Technology is willing to make a screw that never rusts, find its own coordinates, and continuously contribute to China's intelligent manufacturing.
