In the field of precision sheet metal manufacturing, "multiple varieties, small batches, and high precision" are pain points for many enterprises on the road to transformation. When customers' quality requirements continue to rise, and manual material searching and production gaps become efficiency bottlenecks, how can we break through the situation?

Ningbo Chenyu Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. has provided the answer - from purchasing the first Tongkuai equipment in 2016 to the landing of a new factory in 2024, a total of about 30 Tongkuai equipment have been installed, achieving a "black light factory". This precision sheet metal manufacturer covering multiple fields such as new energy and rail transit has completed a magnificent transformation from traditional production to digital upgrading in 7 years.

On the evening of December 25th at 19:30, the live broadcast room of Tongkuai will show you the real scene of Chenyu's large-scale intelligent factory. See how Chenyu purchased 30 Tongkuai devices within 10 years. Click here to make an appointment to watch

　　The 'growth troubles' of precision sheet metal enterprises

　　
As a precision sheet metal manufacturer positioned as efficient and flexible, Ningbo Chenyu's products cover key industries such as new energy storage, wind power generation equipment, intelligent office, communication, and rail transit. Behind the business expansion, the pain points of transformation are becoming increasingly prominent:

01 Production efficiency bottleneck

Materials are randomly stacked, and workers find them time-consuming and laborious. Statistical errors often occur, and the production rhythm is frequently interrupted.

02 Insufficient flexible production

Downstream customer demand is scattered, with a wide variety of products, small batches, and complex materials, making it difficult to quickly switch between traditional production lines.

03 Quality control pressure

The quality requirements for sheet metal products continue to increase in various industries, with multiple manual intervention steps and difficulty in ensuring quality consistency.

Customized flexible production system from Tongkuai provides assistance

Full process chain automation

We need an intelligent feeding system that can connect production and warehouse, and also utilize existing equipment. The upgrade speed must be fast and not delay production! "In response to Chen Yu's clear needs, the Tongkuai Intelligent Factory Solution Team did not simply copy standardized solutions, but instead embarked on a customized research and development process tailored to individual needs.

　　
From machine tool interface adaptation and software compatibility expansion, to hardware upgrade and transformation, non-standard automation customization, the Tongkuai team, together with German technical strength, conducted a comprehensive "physical examination" of 8 old equipment of Chenyu, and finally created an intelligent solution with "flexible production" as the core, enabling seamless collaboration between new and old equipment:

01 75 meter logistics center connects the entire process

By integrating fully automatic bending units, laser cutting machines, TruPunch 5000 punching machines, and other equipment, a coherent automated production line is constructed. Production tasks of different materials and specifications can be efficiently executed on the same production line, adapting to the production needs of "multiple varieties and small batches".

02 STOPA material warehouse solves the problem of "finding materials"

90% of materials are stored automatically, and the system retrieves and delivers them accurately based on production task instructions, bidding farewell to the tedious and error of manual material searching.

03 TRUMPF Oseon system acts as

Smart Brain

As the core of production management, this system connects the material warehouse with all equipment, automatically formulates production plans and schedules tasks, and automates the entire process from punching machine feeding to bending processing, without the need for manual intervention.

The leap from "semi automation" to "black light factory"

This customized upgrade has achieved a qualitative leap in Chenyu's production efficiency: the production cycle of similar orders has been shortened by nearly half, personnel utilization has significantly improved, and inventory data is real-time and accurate; The night shift has basically achieved unmanned operation, truly realizing the "black light factory".

　　
Our goal is to ensure the simplicity of each production process and greatly reduce downtime. Tongkuai's solution matches our goal! "Chen Yu's recognition is the best proof of successful transformation.

3000+case experiences from Tongkuai illuminate the future

From single device cooperation to full chain intelligent upgrading, the nearly 10-year partnership between Chenyu and Tongkuai is a vivid practice of the concept of "customer success is our success". Globally, Tongkuai has implemented over 3000 smart factory projects, connecting more than 6500 machine tools. Each project is customized based on customer factory conditions, product requirements, and investment intentions.
