Since the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission and other 11 ministries and commissions jointly issued the "Opinions on Promoting the Development of Remanufacturing Industry", the concept of "remanufacturing" has received continuous attention. Machine tool remanufacturing is the three major remanufacturing fields alongside auto parts and engineering machinery. First, it has caused great concern in the industry. However, the development of the machine tool remanufacturing market has not been smooth, and even people feel that the speed of advancement is somewhat slow. Wei Liancheng, chairman of the China Electromechanical Equipment Maintenance and Reconstruction Technology Association and chairman of the Machine Tool Remanufacturing Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance, said that “the remanufacturing of machine tools, especially the industrialization of machine tool remanufacturing, currently faces both policy and market constraints.â€
Remanufacturing, machine tool aftermarket Machine tool remanufacturing undoubtedly fits the concept of recycling economy and green environmental protection, so the heat in recent years has not diminished. According to statistics, compared with manufacturing new products, remanufacturing can save 60% energy, 70% material saving and 50% cost saving in addition to performance. Therefore, remanufacturing can not only obtain better economic benefits, but also obtain immeasurable environmental and social benefits. Wei Liancheng pointed out that according to the current domestic market, the number of machine tools is 8 million, and the annual equipment elimination rate is 2%. The annual elimination rate reaches 160,000 units, which actually forms a large remanufacturing market base. Professor Cao Huajun, deputy director of the Institute of Manufacturing Engineering of Chongqing University, has a systematic and comprehensive study on machine tool remanufacturing technology. He pointed out that machine tool products should have a complete chain of sales-maintenance-remanufacturing, borrowing the concept of automobile aftermarket, machine tools. Remanufacturing should belong to the machine tool market and will create a large profit margin. Unlike auto parts remanufacturing, machine tool remanufacturing is mostly creative remanufacturing, achieving functional upgrades and numerical control, and is not a restorative remanufacturing, reflecting a high added value. Maintenance and transformation is still the mainstream At present, the main force for machine tool remanufacturing in China is professional machine tool remanufacturing enterprises, which are actually machine tool repair and transformation enterprises, in addition to machine tool manufacturing enterprises and CNC system manufacturing enterprises. These three types of enterprises constitute the current The main body of domestic machine tool remanufacturing. China's machine tool remanufacturing business is still at the stage of maintenance and numerical control transformation. “Especially based on the maintenance and repair of large and heavy-duty machine tools, it is obviously difficult to form mass and industrialization.†Wei Liancheng believes that the maintenance and repair of our large heavy-duty machine tools is remanufactured compared to the mature remanufacturing industry in Europe and America. Primary Stage. According to Wei Liancheng, there are currently hundreds of equipment maintenance enterprises in the domestic market, which come from two systems: In recent years, many enterprises have separated the auxiliary industries such as machine repair workshops and branch factories, which have been established as independent businesses. At the same time, a large number of professional and technical personnel have set up private maintenance companies to emerge, and they have formed the current machine tool repair and transformation industry. In fact, Wuhan Huazhong Automation Technology Co., Ltd., a pilot unit of the machine tool remanufacturing department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and Jinan Xinjier Technology Co., Ltd., which is also a member of the alliance, have their origins with Wuhan Heavy Machine Tool Group and Jinan Second Machine Tool Group. Machine tool manufacturers have great advantages in remanufacturing business, but the reality is that due to the very good market situation of new machine tools, these companies often have no energy to engage in remanufacturing business, and they are worried that remanufacturing products will affect the sales of new machine tools. Machine tool manufacturers even have a natural resistance to the remanufacturing business. This is exactly what Wei Liancheng said about market restrictions. Policy orientation of circular economy At present, the machine tool industry in developed countries such as the United States, Japan and Germany has been sluggish, but machine tool transformation has become a new growth point. This is very worthwhile for China's machine tool industry. There are more than 300 companies specializing in machine tool remanufacturing in the United States. The classification is extremely fine. There are professional companies responsible for remanufacturing large-scale multi-function machines, gear processing machines and metal cutting machine tools, and provide after-sales and warranty. European and American countries have formed a relatively complete old parts logistics system. Remanufacturers recycle used machine tools through various channels, evaluate the value, redesign, and manufacture, and then put on the “remanufacturing†label and re-enter the market. This actually avoids the suspicion that the majority of domestic users are worried about the “fake and shoddy†remanufactured products. Remanufactured products are regarded as “fake and shoddy†products that affect corporate reputation. Most machine tool manufacturers are very worried. This actually reflects that the remanufacturing product positioning, supervision, certification and other systems are still missing or unclear. Policy issues such as intellectual property rights and taxation are indeed one of the important reasons for the current low enthusiasm for remanufacturing of enterprises. In particular, the amount of output tax in remanufacturing enterprises' VAT is difficult to offset. The industry believes that relevant departments should accelerate the development of machine tool remanufacturing industry from the perspective of circular economy, encourage machine tool manufacturing enterprises to enter the remanufacturing market, promote the industrialization of machine tool remanufacturing, and give clear preferential policy support as soon as possible, such as tax incentives and financial subsidies.
