Recently, with the successful delivery of the ultra-low temperature valve for the H1893A large LNG ship, the valve company has completed its annual production and operation tasks ahead of schedule. The annual production volume and operating income have significantly increased year-on-year, both reaching historical highs.

Lean management improves quality and efficiency, leading to a 15% increase in product delivery

This year, valve companies are facing three challenges: a large number of newly developed products, high product loads, and heavy technological transformation tasks. They are implementing lean management concepts, continuously improving production and operation management systems, effectively integrating resources, accelerating intelligent transformation, and continuously improving production efficiency and total production volume. The number of delivered product sets for the whole year has increased by 15% compared to the previous year, with a significant increase in the proportion of high value-added products such as the clean energy sector represented by ultra-low temperature valves.

Accelerate the transformation of intelligent manufacturing and enable multiple sets of new equipment

With the accelerated transformation of the company's product structure and the demand for doubled LNG production capacity, the valve company has comprehensively improved its product processing capabilities. Within the year, the second set of ultra-low temperature valve cover automated processing assembly line of the valve company has been built and put into operation. Calculated based on single shift production, the efficiency has increased by four times compared to the past. At the same time, the newly introduced intelligent integrated CNC machine tools and CNC vertical lathes have been put into operation, effectively ensuring the machining accuracy of products while improving production efficiency. It is expected that the overall completion time of the processing workshop will increase by more than 20% compared to the previous year.

Fill in the gaps, optimize the process, and increase the production capacity of conventional butterfly valves

The latest generation of ultra-low temperature valve experimental equipment newly built by the valve company has been fully put into use, effectively filling the gap in current detection capabilities. At the same time, through a series of measures such as introducing KBK and specialized equipment and fixtures, we actively promote the reshaping of production processes, continuously optimize production processes, effectively improve the production capacity of conventional butterfly valves, and ensure that the first pass quality rate of products is guaranteed. As the main product of the company, the conventional butterfly valve series has delivered over 40000 sets this year, an increase of more than 20% year-on-year; The company's clean energy sector products have achieved mass production, and the high-performance butterfly valve series products have achieved the goal of doubling production volume; The total delivery volume of ultra-low temperature valve series products increased by 33% year-on-year; The proportion of domestically produced ultra-low temperature valves for large LNG ships has exceeded 85%, achieving a new breakthrough in actual ship applications.

The valve company will adhere to technological innovation, accelerate transformation and development, deeply promote lean management, and strive to move forward with the vision of "comprehensively building a world-class modern valve intelligent manufacturing enterprise".
