Authoritative experts gathered to discuss standard construction
At the inaugural meeting of the working group of the national standard "Liquid product packaging production line—General technical requirements for units interface" and the standard seminar on June 25, Chairman Zhang Songming of Guangzhou Tech-Long Packaging Machinery Co., Ltd. delivered a welcome speech and expressed a warm welcome to the leaders, experts, customers and counterparts who attended the meeting. Chairman Zhang said that standardization is an important manifestation of the core competitiveness of enterprises and the cornerstone of high-quality development of the industry. Tech-Long will thoroughly implement the national standardization strategy, conscientiously implement the "Quality Development Outline" of Guangdong Province and Guangzhou City, and actively implement the requirements of Guangzhou Development Zone's "solid promotion of the quality-enhancing zone strategy", and always put the technical standard strategy in an important position in the company's development. Tech-Long took the lead in drafting the two national standards of "Liquid product packaging production line—General technical requirements for units interface" and revising the "Automatic rotary PET bottle blow molding machine". In particular, the "Liquid product packaging production line—General technical requirements for units interface" standard is the first national standard for intelligent manufacturing in my country's packaging machinery industry, marking another solid and critical step in the standardization of my country's packaging machinery! This will also become a powerful engine to promote the technological upgrading, quality improvement and brand building of my country's packaging machinery industry, and help China's manufacturing move towards Chinese creation and Chinese brands!
Gu Xiaobin, member of the Party Working Committee of Guangzhou Development Zone and deputy director of the Management Committee, delivered a speech, emphasizing the importance of standardization work in promoting the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. Director Gu pointed out that advanced technology must be transformed into standards to more effectively promote the healthy and orderly development of the industry. It is hoped that Tech-Long will carry forward the tradition, shoulder the heavy responsibility, actively coordinate all parties, gather resources from all parties, and complete the compilation of the two standards with high quality in accordance with the requirements of the "four transformations" of national standardization work and the work tasks and time nodes determined by the two standardization committees, showing the industry responsibility of enterprises in our district and making "Huangpu contribution" to the national standardization cause.
Zhang Shuangai, the second-level researcher of the Standardization Department of Guangzhou Municipal Administration for Market Regulation, introduced the specific measures and fruitful results of Guangzhou in the implementation of the standardization strategy in his speech, and said that whoever has the standard will win the world, and whoever sets the standard will have the right to speak. It is hoped that enterprises can make persistent efforts to become "wall breakers" in technical breakthroughs, focus on the universality of unit interfaces, break the bottleneck of equipment interconnection and interoperability; break through the high-speed molding technology of PET bottles, benchmark the EU EN standard, reduce energy consumption, and help the green and low-carbon development of the food and beverage industry.
Subsequently, Chen Runjie, Secretary-General of the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Food Packaging Machinery, delivered a speech. Secretary-General Chen highly praised Guangzhou Tech-Long Company and the governments and competent departments at all levels in Guangdong Province for their attention and strong support for standardization work, and elaborated in detail the background, process and focus of the project establishment and drafting of the standards, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent discussion work. She also said: "The formulation of these two standards will effectively solve the pain points of the industry, improve the overall technical level of my country's packaging machinery, and is of great significance to promoting the high-quality development of the industry."
Then, Chen Gang, Vice Chairman of Guangzhou Tech-Long Packaging Machinery Co., Ltd., spoke on behalf of the drafting unit of the standard. For many years, Guangzhou Tech-Long has been adhering to the development idea of "standard-leading, technology-driven", attaching great importance to standardization work, establishing a complete standardization work system, promoting the patenting of core technologies, patent standardization, and standard industrialization, and forming a number of independent technological achievements. As a leading enterprise in the industry, Tech-Long will live up to expectations and successfully complete the formulation and revision of the two national standards, contributing to the high-quality development of China's packaging machinery industry!
Finally, Professor Tang Weiqiang of South China University of Technology read out the Standardization Committee's reply to the establishment of the National Standard Working Group on Unit Interfaces of Liquid Product Packaging Production Lines, and Secretary-General Chen Runjie presented the plaque to the working group on behalf of the Standardization Committee.
The National Standard Working Group Inauguration Conference and Standard Seminar ended with warm applause from the audience, and a group photo was taken on the lawn outside the hotel.
Focus on key technologies and promote the coordinated development of the industry
At the seminar on the national standard "Liquid product packaging production line—General technical requirements for units interface", the experts present expounded their views on the technical requirements of the interconnection architecture, unit digitization, communication network, information flow, communication protocol, IP address, data dictionary, hardware port and security of the communication interface in the draft for comments, and put forward opinions or suggestions on the modification and improvement of the standard. The formulation of this standard will solve the problem of equipment interconnection and interoperability, shorten the production line transformation and upgrading cycle, improve equipment utilization, break down the technical barriers between equipment manufacturers, promote collaborative innovation between upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, enhance the compatibility and market competitiveness of domestic equipment, and provide standardized support for the industry's digital and intelligent transformation.
The National Standard Seminar on "Automatic rotary PET bottle blow molding machine" revised GB/T 29648-2013 "Automatic rotary PET bottle blow molding machine", focusing on the discussion of the working conditions, performance requirements and safety specification indicators of PET bottle blowing machines. Because after nearly ten years of development, bottle blowing technology has been iteratively upgraded, and production efficiency has been significantly improved. With the in-depth application of Internet of Things technology, intelligent technologies such as remote operation and maintenance and online monitoring have become the mainstream trend of industry development. At present, bottle blowing technology is continuously innovating in the direction of greening and intelligence, leading the new pattern of sustainable development in the industry. The participating representatives put forward a number of constructive suggestions on the draft standard based on the industry's pain points, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent improvement of the standard content.
