On July 28, the 11th China Intelligent Manufacturing Summit Forum and the 19th China Intelligent Manufacturing Year-end Inventory Award Ceremony hosted by e-works were held in Hangzhou. SMC was invited to attend the conference and won the "2021 China Industrial Digital Transformation Pilot Enterprise" award.
The award was comprehensively evaluated by the jury panel in the early stage, and SMC was successfully selected into the "2021 China Industrial Digital Transformation Pilot Enterprise List" based on its remarkable achievements in the transformation of manufacturing digital model.
The summit invited Professor Li Peigen, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and chairman of the National Intelligent Manufacturing Expert Committee, Professor Chu Jian, founder of SUPCON Technology Group, and Dr. Huang Pei, CEO of e-works, and other industry experts, and hundreds of representatives of outstanding manufacturing enterprises and digital service providers gathered together to focus on the new trend of intelligent manufacturing, exchange new development models of enterprises, and explore the "way of intelligent manufacturing under the tide of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality".
Under the influence of multiple factors such as the epidemic, trade wars, and geopolitical wars, enterprises are facing a complex and uncertain severe market environment, and how to make good use of the two engines of digitalization and low-carbon to accelerate the sustainable development plan of enterprise BCP has become SMC's policy consensus.
SMC is a manufacturing company, and its innovation and transformation can be divided into four steps, the first is to improve quality and efficiency through the application of industrial engineering IE technology to achieve lean manufacturing requirements, and secondly, to achieve synchronous and efficient automation through intelligent, reliable and efficient automation equipment and devices, and then to realize the full optimization of the operation process through IOT and digital technology, to build a flexible production system to promote the improvement of SMC's intelligent level, and finally to assume corporate social responsibility through low-carbon products and energy-saving factories.
The company is committed to building an integrated and stable ERP system as the core backbone system, fully shifting the business process to digitalization, and making full use of manufacturing big data to improve manufacturing efficiency. Externally, the company feeds back customer needs to the company's ERP system through the client's CRM and other systems, and then coordinates the production and procurement plans according to the inventory system, and feeds back the supplier's inventory, orders and other information back to the production system through the supplier's SRM system, forming a digital management of the entire supply chain inside and outside the company.
We are committed to expanding the use of energy-saving equipment, energy-saving products and green energy, and attach importance to the application of new technologies and continuous energy-saving activities in the manufacturing process, so as to reduce carbon emissions and help achieve the "double carbon" goal.
In a low-carbon economy, the use of raw materials is reduced, processing time in the manufacturing process is reduced by designing more compact and lightweight products, while reducing the energy consumption of the product itself. In addition, we evaluate the environmental impact of our products in terms of lifespan, safety, packaging materials, and disposal methods, and promote the development of environmentally friendly products.
The award of "2021 China Industrial Digital Transformation Pilot Enterprise" is not only an affirmation of SMC's firm implementation of digital innovation and transformation practices, but also a stage recognition and spur for the work of SMC's transformation practice teams.
The future is promising. In the future, SMC will continue to uphold the lean thinking and BCP sustainable development concept, based on the actual needs of customers, strive to develop green and low-carbon products, cultivate digital and intelligent "internal strength", and promote the high-quality and sustainable development of the pneumatic industry.

What is the function of the (air) buffer valve of the cylinder?
A buffer valve is a valve that adjusts the release flow of the enclosed gas when absorbing the kinetic energy generated at the end of the stroke.
Before the end of the stroke, the contact between the buffer sleeve and the buffer seal causes the exhaust to be sealed, the pressure rises, and the shock is absorbed.
The compressed air on the exhaust side of the rising pressure passes through the ...

SMC FAQ - Why does the 5-port solenoid valve operate poorly at low pressure (0.1MPa)?
The internal pilot operated solenoid valve uses the pilot pressure to switch the spool and change (control) the flow path. If the pilot pressure does not reach the minimum operating pressure of the switching spool (0.1-0.2MPa: varies depending on the model), the switching will be defective. If you want to use a 5-way solenoid valve at low pressure, you can use ...
