Luo Juncai nodded: "Mr. Li, that's really the case." With our current scientific and technological strength, it is not possible to achieve no manual operation, we can only minimize the steps of manual operation, and divide those complex steps into simple steps that can be completed mechanically, and then have a mechanical device to be responsible for the implementation. As for the final control, it also needs to be manual. But in the current situation, we have been able to reduce the overall labor utilization to 30%, which means that 70% of the workload will be replaced by machines. ”

Li Feng knows that about ten years later, with the substantial improvement of machine intelligence, the machine replacement rate in the field of logistics can reach about 90%, in 2002, due to the low computing power of the chip, coupled with the backward software, and the use of big data, if it can reach 70%, it is already a very remarkable achievement.

"The 70% target is already very difficult, and if it can be achieved, it will save more than 20 places in the labor cost for the factory, and it will be even more in the future. Li Feng said, "Uncle Qian, this is a lot of expenses. ”

"Yes, so we are now focusing on improving the quality and treatment of our employees, and strive to make the greatest efficiency with the least number of people. Qian Houde said happily, "During this period of time, the factory has also increased its profit margin significantly because of the improvement of efficiency, and the situation is very good." ”

"By the way, what about the third uncle and the others?" Li Feng looked around and asked.

"Oh, Wanhua and Xiaojun went to Guangdong to participate in the international economic and trade exhibition, this year's international economic and trade exhibition is very large, and we also applied for a display space. Qian Houde said, "Now our popularity in China has been opened, but we have not yet entered the international market, Wanhua is planning to try our luck to see if we can harvest some orders at the economic and trade exhibition, and promote our products to foreign markets." ”

"You plan to export to the international market, which is a good direction. Li Feng nodded, very much in agreement with Lao Qian's approach.

At present, Huaxia has just joined the international trade system, exports will enter a period of rapid growth for more than ten years, as long as we can seize this historical opportunity, and continue to expand the international market share of products, we can find new profit points for the factory.

"This idea was still come up with Wanhua, and now the average daily sales of the factory are still growing, but the growth rate has slowed down compared to before, so we predict that the domestic market is about to enter the saturation stage. "So we plan to open up new markets, go abroad, and sell our products to foreigners." I also gave a few new products to Williams, and he asked a friend to bring them back to the United States and gave them to some of his friends' children, and it was said that the effect was very good, and the children abroad liked it. ”

"Uncle Qian, we can intensify our work in this area, study the demand characteristics of foreign markets, and launch a batch of products for them. Li Feng said.

"This time Wanhua went to Guangdong, just to find out the demand situation abroad, if you can make a batch of orders on the spot, it will be better. Qian Houde said.

"Uncle Qian, let's go and see the scene in the storage area first. Li Feng said, "Lao Luo, you explain it to me on the spot." ”

"No problem. ”

The three of them walked to the warehousing and logistics area of the factory, and with the continuous increase in the volume of shipments, the current warehousing and logistics area has been expanded, which is more than 50% larger than the original.

In order to adapt to the transformation of the intelligent logistics system, nearly one-third of the space in the factory was specially freed up for the design and construction of the transformation project of the intelligent core company.

At this moment, Williams is taking a few of his subordinates to install and debug the equipment, and this vacated construction area is also the place they use for testing, and they are seizing the time to try several solutions to try and find the best solution.

Due to the differences between the domestic market and the American market, the requirements for this intelligent logistics equipment system are also different, so a lot of improvements need to be made in the design process, in order to obtain more accurate data, repeated experimental scrutiny is inevitable.

Therefore, for the intelligent core company, this project of Nanqiao Toy Factory is an excellent opportunity for them to integrate into the Chinese market, and even drive the upgrading of their overall R&D capabilities.

"Through this period of trial and error, we have continuously optimized the workflow and increased the rate of machine substitution, and the overall efficiency is constantly improving, to take a simple example, we have reduced the time to two hours after processing 1,000 items, which required about one skilled worker and two full days. Luo Juncai said.

"It seems that the effect is very good, from two days to two hours, the work efficiency has increased by eight times, which means that one worker can complete the workload of eight workers. Li Feng nodded and affirmed this.

"Of course, the efficiency has increased, and the complexity of the work has also increased, so the quality of the workers has become more demanding. Luo Juncai said, "To complete a series of complex operations and ensure that there are no errors, it is difficult to adapt without a high degree of Chinese." ”

"This puts forward higher requirements for the quality of recruitment, and for existing employees, it is also very urgent to improve their work ability. Uncle Qian, it seems that the systematic training of workers is indispensable in the future. Li Feng said.

Qian Houde nodded: "It's not just the workers in the factory, even I can't figure it out now, I always feel that I can't find the north, and I can't do it without training." Now there are more and more high-tech gadgets, both computers and machines, which make our group of old farmers anxious. ”

Qian Houde is telling the truth, after all, they have lived in the countryside for a long time and have little access to these high-tech. What Li Feng is worried about now is not whether the technology can be realized, but whether these people can use it. If you don't use it, it's a waste of good things.

It's like giving you an airplane, and if you can't drive it, it's still useless.

"Lao Luo, for the operation manual of this new system, we must write it carefully, and try to write it in the most popular and simple way, it is too professional for the workers to understand. Li Feng said to Luo Juncai on the side.

"No problem, we were also worried that if the system was designed to be too complex, it would be difficult for them to operate, so we tried to keep it simple and clear in both design and operation. Luo Juncai said.

"That's right, otherwise we don't have enough brain cells. Qian Houde gave a thumbs up.

After visiting the scene, Li Feng was also ready to return to Xianhu City.

During this time, I have been busy and busy, and I don't know how the career of my hometown is developing.
