For the huge gap in masks surging from the resumption of work, large car companies SAIC-GM-Wuling, GAC Group, BYD Auto have joined the mask production team.
These usually and masks "eight pole" can not hit the car companies to produce masks, how do they do? They produce masks are reliable? How to deal with this part of the capacity after the epidemic?

It is understood that the production of the specific division of labor for the BYD Central Research Institute is responsible for the production of disinfectant, BYD Electronics Business Group nine is responsible for the production of masks. The disinfectant is produced in Shanwei BYD Industrial Co., Ltd. and the masks are produced by BYD's ninth division in Shenzhen Baolong Industrial Park.
On the use and distribution of the materials, in addition to meeting the needs of BYD's own corporate operations, the rest will be used as donations, which are not open for sale at this time.
Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC)
Through cooperation with its suppliers, GAC plans to produce 30 to 50 sets of its own mask production equipment.
A portion of the equipment will be used for GAC's own production of masks, while the rest will be provided to other state-owned enterprises in Guangzhou for mask production.
On February 6, Zeng Qinghong, party secretary and chairman of Guangzhou Automobile Group, led a team to Dongguan mask production equipment maker Fast Yuda for research, to understand the manufacturing, assembling and debugging technology of mask production equipment, and to study the technical feasibility of the new mask production line.
Zeng Qinghong, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Board of Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC), researched the suppliers of mask production equipment
On February 7, GAC Components and Technology Center sent a number of party members to attend a 15-day study at Fast Yuda. On February 10, engineers from GAC Components Technology Center successfully assembled and debugged the first protective mask production equipment.
GAC engineers are stepping up debugging of the equipment
On February 11, the first GAC mask production equipment arrived at the GAC Components and Technology Center to be installed and continue debugging. According to the plan, by February 22 GAC will complete 12 sets of equipment for self-production, and the scale will reach 30 sets by the end of February. Some of these equipments are currently used for GAC's own production, and some of them will be provided to other state-owned enterprises in Guangzhou for mask production.
Is it reliable for car companies to produce masks?
These automakers can "cross-border" production of masks in such a short period of time,
because they have excellent comprehensive industrial strength ...
1. Many highly qualified employees, reliable!
Car companies after years of honed development, accumulated a large number of automation, quality control and other aspects of the talent, its quality assurance system and personnel quality after a long test. Due to the automobile parts itself on the precision, safety and other requirements are extremely high, in the quality control has a much higher standard than other industries. Therefore, under the control of a large number of automation talents, the product process can be quickly stabilized and realize the capacity to climb rapidly, and the quality of the product can also be effectively guaranteed.
2.? The site environment is suitable and reliable!
The automotive industry itself due to the pre-built or warehousing program, generally have the plant reserved, itself has a high standard of clean room, anti-static workshop and other venues, so to be transformed and rearranged, can be quickly put into use.
3.? Advanced equipment management and development experience and stable supplier channels, reliable!
Car companies have a wealth of experience in product procurement and supplier management, part of which is the control of equipment suppliers; as we all know, car companies have a large number of various robots, fully automated equipment, automated transportation equipment, etc., so the rapid procurement of masks equipment and installation in place should not be a problem.
At the same time, the production material of the mask is the same as some of the materials in the soundproof parts of the car, so the car company has a stable and reliable upstream raw material supply system.
4. Healthcare qualifications and experience, reliable!
Although the production process of the mask is not complicated, the medical production qualification is not easy to obtain; however, in the current critical period of the anti-epidemic, qualified companies in the technology can be direct help or direct cooperation, the government will also speed up the approval. BYD is responsible for the conversion of the production of masks of the ninth division, usually has been responsible for the agency production of medical equipment products, has a wealth of experience.
After the epidemic passed, what about excess capacity?
In fact, we don't need to worry, the national policy has guaranteed.
On this issue, the state has long had arrangements. In order to solve the "mask shortage" problem, the National Development and Reform Commission said that as long as it meets the standards, enterprises can open full production. Enterprises do not have to worry about excess capacity after the epidemic, the surplus capacity after the epidemic will be stored by the government.
About the equipment and site in the epidemic after the arrangement, that is even more need not worry about, at present most enterprises are using their own originally meet the standards of the plant into the transfer of production masks, so the site in the later stage can still be used on their own. Equipment, then can be sold to the relevant production enterprises, in addition, the state after this "war against the epidemic", will certainly also retain such protective supplies production capacity for the future of the public **** health emergency strategy reserve it, then there will be corresponding policies.
However, the epidemic now, the first and foremost or as soon as possible to increase production capacity in order to prevent and control the epidemic, so it must be spared no effort to rapid production, in order to protect the public **** health and safety.
Community, ****k hard times
According to the eye of the sky statistical survey found that the business registration change information as a standard, since January 1, 2020 to February 7, more than 3,000 companies across the country business scope of the new "masks, protective clothing, disinfectant, thermometers, medical equipment " and other businesses, of which as many as 3,647 companies added medical devices to their business scope!
There is no lack of familiar Yagor, Mercury Home Textiles, Newspaper Bird and other textile companies, as well as OPPO, vivo, Foxconn, PetroChina, and other "cross-border" players began to produce masks.
In the gradual and orderly start arrangements, the production capacity of medical supplies will be greatly increased. With the efforts of the production aid manufacturers, the shortage of masks and other medical supplies will also be improved in a short time.
Believe in all walks of life *** with the efforts of the Chinese people will be able to early victory in this "epidemic war"! We are all cheering!
