As the wave of digitalization accelerates, manufacturing transformation has become a strategic choice at the national level. How to get into the digital age and promote another jump in productivity has become an important proposition in the development of many enterprises.
As a highly influential industrial exposition in South China and even the whole country, the 2023 South China International Industry Fair (SCIIF), the wind vane of global intelligent manufacturing development, will be grandly opened in Shenzhen on June 27-29. Weidmüller, a global expert in the field of electrical connection, presented its innovative SNAP IN connection technology, lithium battery industry solutions, logistics industry solutions, digital and automation solutions and other blockbuster products and star solutions.
During the exhibition, Mr. Yao Yafei, senior sales manager of Weidmüller South China Region, shared the market performance and development strategy of Weidmüller South China Region under the current economic situation. From the conversation, the author deeply felt Weidmuller’s firm confidence in the “dual carbon” strategy, and gained a deeper understanding of Weidmuller’s “Wei” Greater Bay Area digital empowerment.

Demonstrate comprehensive innovation capabilities from connectivity technology to digitalization
In this exhibition, Weidmüller brought the innovative SNAP IN squirrel-cage connection technology, which combines the advantages of the common shrapnel type and in-line technology, and ingeniously designed a mouse-clip connection method, the wiring process does not need any tool. There is an audible click and audible feedback when the connection is complete, and there is no tool required for uncoupling, just push a button and the joint reopens. SNAP IN squirrel-cage connections are at least 60% more efficient than “shrapnel” or “screw” connectors. The on-site demonstration of the SNAP IN robot arm wiring application, through the UR robot arm to operate the whole process of stripping and inserting wires, took the audience to appreciate the SNAP IN connection technology at close range.
In addition, Weidmüller’s latest SFR100 series and SFR500 series fixed industrial barcode readers were also eye-catching at the exhibition, and have been widely used in lithium batteries, logistics and other industries. These two code readers are equipped with a high-performance processor core platform, running Weidmüller’s latest algorithm on a powerful and easy-to-install, debug and deploy platform, which can achieve high reading speed and high reading rate. Industrial code readers can read two-dimensional codes, barcodes and other information at high speed and accurately, and realize the automatic collection, processing and management of information digitization, thereby helping manufacturing companies improve production efficiency, reduce production costs and improve product quality.
Yao Yafei said that from industrial code readers to I/O to the upcoming PLC, Weidmüller provides customers with overall digital and intelligent solutions to empower the digital transformation of enterprises.
In addition to the demonstration, Weidmüller also launched the “face-to-face innovative technology exchange and sharing activity”, inviting user representatives from various industries to come to the scene, and experts will demonstrate and explain Weidmüller’s innovative connection technology to customers on the spot and answer questions on lithium battery, logistics and other industries on the spot. related issues.
“I hope that this exhibition will allow customers in South China to have a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of Weidmüller’s comprehensive innovation capabilities from traditional electrical connections to automation and digitalization, and to discuss with you how to use innovative electrical connections and digitalization technologies. Solve the pain points of the industry.” Yao Yafei said.
Adhere to the local customer-oriented and empower the digital transformation of enterprises
The manufacturing industry is undergoing profound changes, especially with the acceleration of digital transformation. In the intelligent manufacturing environment, creating intelligent and efficient connections has become the key for enterprises to gain advantages in market competition. In this process, digital solutions that perform well are indispensable, and this is where Weidmüller’s strengths lie.
Yao Yafei said that South China, as the frontier of my country’s reform and opening up, not only has an active economy and a developed manufacturing industry, but also has many high-tech talents. The development of intelligent manufacturing has unique advantages. Based on the global platform, Weidmüller will quickly create localized solutions suitable for the Chinese market to meet customer needs and solve customer pain points. For example, Weidmüller’s industrial IoT solution can open up channels for users from data collection, data preprocessing, data communication and data analysis, and provide a complete set of solutions from sensors to the cloud, empowering the digital transformation and upgrading of factories.
The manufacturing industry must seek high-quality development, maintain and enhance market competitiveness, and digital transformation and upgrading is not only a strategic choice, but also the only way for enterprises to refine their operations. Weidmüller uses digital technology to help customers start from decision-making, gradually penetrate into each process, and fully empower them, which greatly improves the market competitiveness of customers and reshapes the manufacturing ecosystem. In the era of digital transformation, opportunities are endless; only by taking advantage of the trend can we make steady and long-term progress.
Based on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, actively deploy new energy
The transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry in South China is going faster than other regions. Faced with such a market full of vitality and business opportunities, many automation manufacturers are targeting the South China market, hoping to occupy a place in the process of transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry in South China. South China, with the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area at its core, is also an important market for Weidmüller’s in-depth development.
“Since Weidmüller entered the South China market, it has developed quite rapidly and has received support and affirmation from many customers. And thanks to the vigorous development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, Weidmüller’s performance in South China over the years has also improved. Maintaining high-speed growth.” Yao Yafei proudly shared. “With more and more customers in the South China region demanding supply chain security and short delivery times, the entire Weidmüller mechanism operates efficiently and makes decisions, and the construction of Weidmüller Shenzhen Storage Center has been completed in a short period of time. The delivery of customers including the South China region has made a great contribution.”
At the same time, according to the needs of customers in the South China region, Weidmüller comprehensively conducts big data analysis, path calculation and planning, and reasonably uses the Shanghai logistics center and Shenzhen storage center, thereby greatly shortening the delivery period and ensuring the timeliness of customer delivery. On the one hand, it also reduces the company’s warehousing and logistics operating costs.
In addition, under the national “dual-carbon” strategy, Weidmüller South China Region actively deploys new energy-related industries based on its own industry characteristics, including new energy vehicle manufacturing, power battery manufacturing, photovoltaic energy storage and other subdivided industries and related fields At present, the overall market demand in these subdivided industries and fields is still strong. On the one hand, Weidmüller coordinates global resources to ensure delivery; Leading technology advantages, coupled with Weidmüller China’s strong R&D team resources, actively develop industry-specific products, solve pain points for customers, and provide strong support for business sustainability in South China.
At the end of the interview, Yao Yafei said that in the digital age, only by following the trend can we make progress and persevere. He firmly believes that Weidmüller, which insists on local customer-oriented, will take root in the fertile soil of South China and bear fruit by virtue of its strong technological innovation capabilities, good brand reputation and considerate customer service capabilities.
