Recently at the technical seminar in the packaging workshop, our engineering team has come up with new research and development results-the seventh-generation full servo control module has been officially put into the mass production line of China's automatic packaging machines. Looking at the equipment running steadily on the operating table, I can't help but think of the scene when I first entered the industry 20 years ago, domestic factories still relied on imported packaging machines. Today, our independently developed intelligent packaging equipment not only fills the technical gap, but also has established the brand of "China's Intelligent Manufacturing" in the international market.
As the earliest domestic company involved in the field of automated packaging, our factory has always kept a close eye on the pain points of the industry. Mr. Zhang, a food machinery exhibitor we received last year, said frankly: "I used to worry about the stability of domestic equipment. After trying your Chinese automatic packaging machine, the failure rate remained zero for three consecutive months." Such customer feedback makes us feel very relieved. In fact, from the control system to the transmission structure, each device has been tested for 36 hours to ensure that the automated production line solutions delivered to customers can stand the test.
In terms of technical breakthroughs, Mr. Wang from the R&D department often says: "We must make smart packaging equipment truly understand production." The visual inspection system launched last year is a typical case. Through the AI algorithm, it automatically identifies packaging defects. This innovation has increased the market share of our Chinese automatic packaging machines in the daily chemical industry by nearly 40%. Now when you walk into the workshop, you can see that machines of different specifications are being debugged simultaneously: this side is a sterile packaging line dedicated to the pharmaceutical industry, and that side is a vacuum packaging unit customized for agricultural product companies. Each system embodies our understanding of packaging machinery technology innovation.
In the past three months, the number of overseas orders has increased significantly. After inspecting our factory, a rubber product manufacturer in Southeast Asia signed a purchase contract for three automated packaging lines on the spot. They particularly value the energy recovery system on the equipment, which can reduce the energy consumption of China's automatic packaging machines by about 15%. Xiao Li from the International Trade Department said: "Now when foreign customers see the packaging equipment of 'MADE IN CHINA', they will take the initiative to ask whether it is equipped with an intelligent control system. This is completely different from the situation ten years ago."
Looking to the future, we are planning to build a smart packaging demonstration workshop. The new plant will focus on the application of Internet of Things technology in automated production line solutions. At that time, customers can view the operating status of the equipment in real time through their mobile phones. Colleagues in the marketing department have been busy collecting customer needs recently and plan to launch modular packaging units for small and medium-sized enterprises. This plug-and-play design concept allows more users to enjoy the efficiency revolution brought by intelligent packaging equipment at a reasonable cost.
Every time I see the neatly arranged packaging machine assembly lines in the workshop, I am proud of the team's persistence. From a follower to a leader, the development trajectory of China's automatic packaging machines confirms the infinite possibilities of physical manufacturing. In the future, we will continue to deepen our core technology and use smarter and more reliable automation solutions to help global customers achieve a comprehensive upgrade of their packaging processes.
