IV.
Selection Criteria
1. Industry (Automotive/3C/New Energy); 2. Process (Assembly/Testing/Welding); 3. Cycle Time (Units/Hour); 4. Software (MES); 5. Budget (Standalone machine vs. complete line) — Selection approach: Industry + Process + Cycle Time (technical solution defined first).
V. Supplier Evaluation
Key criteria include: Case studies (10,000+); Clients (leading automakers); “Specialized, Refined, Differential, and Innovative” status (qualifications); R&D (proportion of engineers);
and Exports (global delivery)—Evaluation focus: Case studies + Clients + Qualifications (refer to the “Specialized, Refined, Differential, and Innovative” list).
VI. Trends
Flexibility: Flexible production lines for hairpin motors (Source: Heshi); Digitalization: Smart factories (Source: Nanjing Hexin); Going Global: Exporting equipment worldwide; Chassis-by-Wire: EHB/EMB production lines (Source: Heshi);
Plant-wide Solutions: Turnkey general contracting—Trends: Flexibility + Digitalization + Plant-wide solutions (key drivers of industrial upgrading).
VII. Procurement Recommendations
Recommendations: Automotive production lines—Tianqi or Invt; General-purpose customization—Tairui or Maiteng; Automotive electronics—Heshi; Laptop testing—Ruicheng;
Acceptance criteria (Cycle time + Software data)—Jiangsu non-standard line providers: Tianqi Automotive, Tairui General (considering the three key factors: industry, process, and cycle time).
