The world is in a hurry to supply what it needs. In response to the need to fight the epidemic, BYD officially announced on February 8 that it would aid in the production of masks and disinfectant gels, and quickly set up a research and development team, with Wang Chuanfu as the person responsible for setting up the special group. Since then, a period of time, soaking in the laboratory, adjusting equipment, staring at the production line, has become Wang Chuanfu's daily work, such things he only in more than 20 years ago when the company was just founded to do.
1. Cell phone factory turned mask factory
Like all other products, the production of masks can not be separated from the production line and raw materials, and the mask production line needs clean room and equipment.
For the former, BYD is located in Longgang District, Shenzhen, BYD Baolong Industrial Park, is a modern factory with a complete, advanced intellectual production line, a day can produce 500,000 units of high-end cell phones, and high-end cell phones on the quality of waterproofing and other aspects of the requirements are very high, and the corresponding molds, automation equipment, manufacturing processes, etc., the requirements are also very high. Therefore, only the purification level to do to improve, can be used directly as a clean room for the production of masks, and made out of the precision, quality of all aspects are far higher than the requirements of the mask.
So after the announcement of the original mask, here built a "special" workshop unrelated to electronic equipment, hundreds of workers work two shifts a day, the machine 24 hours a day and night, just to produce a "special" products - masks.
2. "BYD speed" to build their own mask machine
But the equipment due to the market during the Spring Festival can not be bought, ordering the delivery cycle is too long, once became a bottleneck. In order to solve this problem, BYD completed a series of jaw-dropping "hard core" operation - their own mask machine.
It is understood that BYD from the beginning of the establishment of a professional equipment development and manufacturing team, has been engaged in electronics, batteries, new energy vehicles and other complex production lines and equipment for independent research and development and manufacturing, the entire group has tens of thousands of machining centers, but also a variety of grinding machines, molds and other high-precision equipment. Finally, the team they used 3 days to draw more than 400 pieces of equipment drawings, 7 days to complete the mask machine production equipment development and manufacturing, and now a day to build a dozen mask machine. In the market, to build a mask machine, fast is 15 days, slow is 30 days.
And, each of these mask machine production line, a variety of gears, chains, rollers, rollers roughly 1,300 parts, 90% of which are BYD's own parts.
3. BYD's new identity: the world's most mass-produced mask factory
Additionally, BYD completed the product development of BYD's medical-grade hand-wash-free disinfectant gel in six days, and the product was mass-produced and shipped off the production line eight days later, and then shipped out to the frontline of the anti-epidemic workers on Feb. 16th. In less than two weeks, BYD accomplished what would normally take 2 months to complete.
The masks produced by BYD are increasing at a rate of 300,000 to 500,000 pieces per day, and with about 5-10 new mask machines in mass production every day, BYD has reached a daily production capacity of 5 million masks, which is equivalent to 1/4 of the previous national production capacity, and the quality of BYD's self-produced masks is much better than that of similar ones in the industry, according to the identification of the Food and Drug Administration. Meanwhile, the sterilization gel has also achieved a daily capacity of 300,000 bottles.
This means that as one of the world's largest new energy automobile companies, BYD has gained a new identity -- the world's largest mass-produced mask factory!
By then, the shortage of anti-epidemic materials at the front line of the fight against epidemics in hospitals, public security, government agencies and other institutions that have been given priority for supply will be further effectively alleviated.
As of March 10, BYD has donated more than 5 million masks to 96 units and public welfare organizations involved in and supporting anti-epidemic work in Hubei and other areas affected by the epidemic. At present, more than 1 million pieces of anti-epidemic materials are still being prepared to go to the areas affected by the epidemic, to provide help and support for the front-line staff and volunteers in the fight against the epidemic.
The current epidemic, BYD with cross-border aid production of masks, disinfectant gel action issued its most powerful declaration of war epidemic, for BYD praise!
