Challenges Facing the IndustryLimited Product Listings, Siemens Dominance, High Prices and Low Profits
Due to the influence of end-user product listings, most control systems currently rely on Siemens PLCs, with only a few domestic manufacturers included.
Numerous Brands, Lack of Complete Solutions, High Cost Pressure
Currently, very few automation manufacturers offer complete PLC + roller cart solutions. For equipment suppliers, this leads to finger-pointing and blame-shifting when problems arise on-site.
High After-Sales Volume, Poor Servo Stability
The logistics industry involves large spaces and numerous devices, resulting in significant after-sales work due to product quality issues. Express parcel delivery demands high speed and stability, so equipment malfunctions cause delays and other problems. Significant Economic Losses
Solution FeaturesOne-Stop Service: Product range covers multiple end-user catalogs: PLCs of various sizes to meet different customer needs; low-voltage + AC servo motors provide one-stop service.
Meets the Needs of Different Models: Offers equipment bus-based solutions to improve efficiency; provides IO control; servo power 400-2kW, IO and bus control, meeting the needs of different customers and models in the loop line.
Easier Commissioning: The control system adopts EtherCAT + RS485 bus communication, facilitating wiring and greatly improving assembly and delivery efficiency. Servo roller output requires minimal commissioning, saving commissioning time and optimizing timeliness.
High Load Capacity
The minibus adopts LDC-SF+ servo rollers, employing high-precision encoders and servo control algorithms to significantly improve position loop response. The high accuracy of the minibus's pack-loading stopping position requires no calibration, and its strong overload capacity improves the consistency of pack handling for both light and heavy packages.
Value RealizedThe pack feeding platform uses AC servos, reducing costs by 30%.
The trolley uses servo rollers, helping to reduce peak-shifting rates to as low as 0.3%.
The equipment adopts a complete product solution from Zhongping, reducing the failure rate by 50%.
