Deway Stainless Steel! Heading towards a new track of green intelligent manufacturing.

 

🌿 Deway Stainless Steel: Embracing a New Era of Green Intelligent Manufacturing 🚀

Imagine a vast production line with only 2 operators, who monitor production data in real-time through an intelligent control system. The factory area is spacious and tidy, with lush greenery and grass everywhere...

Recently, upon approaching Zhejiang Deway Stainless Steel Pipe Industry Co., Ltd. in Xinfeng Town, Nanhu District, the traditional impression of a steel mill has been completely overturned.

Now, keywords like green and intelligent have become the main theme of Deway Stainless Steel. With digitalization as the "boat" and greenization as the "sail," they have achieved a synergistic effect of "1+1>2," winning a broader market space for the company.

🔢 Every Steel Pipe Has a Unique Identification Number

Deway Stainless Steel is a large high-tech enterprise specializing in the production of stainless steel and special alloy steel pipes and fittings. In every steel pipe produced, Deway's "smart manufacturing power" is hidden.

Deway Stainless Steel, always in the traditional industry field, has always attached great importance to intelligent manufacturing. However, in its early stages, due to a lack of in-depth understanding and practical experience in digital transformation, Deway often felt at a loss, like "punching a cotton ball," with nowhere to exert its strength and difficult to find a breakthrough.

As early as 2017, Deway Stainless Steel reached a strategic cooperation with an information technology company to jointly promote the construction of the enterprise's industrial internet platform and cultivate the "main battlefield" of digital transformation.

Especially through the use of the MES system, the company has achieved full-system control over the factory, realizing full-process control of process guidance, production performance, quality inspection, and product traceability. "Through the MES system, management personnel can monitor product quality by checking equipment, replacing manual inspection and patrol with product traceability, which greatly improves product quality and reduces the error rate of manual quality inspection," said Hu Kailai, General Manager of Zhejiang Deway Stainless Steel Pipe Industry Co., Ltd.

Thanks to the construction of the enterprise's digital system, now every steel pipe produced by Deway has a unique code, which can trace every link in the production process, time node, operator, and process parameter records, etc. Production efficiency has increased by 40.8%, energy utilization efficiency has increased by 15.7%, and the networking rate of key processes of the machine is 100%, transforming into a national-level specialized and new "little giant" enterprise.

🌞 Over 70% of the Production Line Uses Energy-saving Motors

Standing in the administrative building of Deway Stainless Steel and looking into the distance, you can see rows of neatly distributed solar panels covering the roof, shining like a green "treasure bowl" under the scorching sun. Roof photovoltaics convert solar energy into a continuous source of electricity, supplying the entire factory area.

"We have utilized all the idle roofs above our factory buildings, building photovoltaic panels, totaling about 70,000 square meters. The electricity generated by the photovoltaic panels during the day is basically not used up in production," Hu Kailai calculated an account, according to the enterprise's monthly electricity bill of 500,000 yuan, solar photovoltaic panels can save about half of the electricity bill for the enterprise, greatly saving operating costs.

Deway Stainless Steel not only has a green and low-carbon "appearance," but its core is even "greener." Taking the creation of a green and low-carbon factory as an opportunity, Deway Stainless Steel plays a "green march" in the entire industry chain: technical transformation of the original asynchronous motor, saving about 30% of energy per unit; refining product design, reducing the raw material usage per unit product. At present, more than 70% of the production lines of Deway Stainless Steel use energy-saving motors.

During the production process of stainless steel pipes, a lot of wastewater is often produced. How to achieve efficient recycling of industrial wastewater has become a major challenge for Deway Stainless Steel. To meet this challenge, Deway Stainless Steel has established a special wastewater treatment workshop, taking a series of innovative measures such as process optimization and equipment upgrading. At present, about 120 tons of treated wastewater are reused in the enterprise's production process every month, helping the enterprise to reduce costs and increase efficiency with "green energy."

Jindal Stainless Urges Government to Remove Tariffs on Key Raw Materials

According to Reuters on July 21, 2024, Jindal Stainless has urged the government to remove tariffs on ferro-nickel and ferro-molybdenum in the upcoming budget to ensure the industry can obtain these key raw materials at competitive prices. The current tariff on ferro-nickel is 2.5%, and that on ferro-molybdenum is 5%.

Abhyuday Jindal, Managing Director of Jindal Stainless Limited (JSL), said, "We propose the long-term exemption of basic tariffs on ferro-nickel and ferro-molybdenum to ensure the industry can obtain these important raw materials at competitive prices." Representing the stainless steel industry, Jindal urged the government to continue supporting the 'Make in India' initiative by encouraging innovation and sustainable practices to enhance competitiveness. He stated that reducing raw material import tariffs and providing tax incentives for R&D would greatly benefit the industry.

Jindal Stainless also seeks to continue zero tariffs on stainless steel scrap, scrap steel, and pure nickel, and to maintain a 30% export tax on chromite ore. The minister further stated that there is an urgent need to address the long-standing issue of dumping subsidies and low-quality imports from China through appropriate measures for such products, to ensure a fair competitive environment. "Individuals and businesses have high hopes for the union budget," said Jindal. "We look forward to the first comprehensive budget of this year, and I look forward to another growth-oriented budget, especially one that promotes manufacturing and infrastructure, which are important pillars of our country's progress."

Jindal Stainless is the largest stainless steel manufacturing company in Indonesia, with an annual production of about 3 million tons. The content is sourced from Reuters and does not represent the views of 51BXG.

Stainless Steel, Is It "Searching for Light in Hell"?

 

Stainless Steel's Struggle Amidst Changing Market Dynamics

Recently, the stainless steel market has been abuzz with discussions and speculations. Let's dive into the latest hot topics:

  • Qingshan's pan prices have dropped by 100! Agents continue to offer discounts. The competition is getting fierce!
  • As soon as the collection of scrap materials was halted, people started to speculate if this was a strategic retreat.

On July 18, 2024, in the Foshan market, a trending topic emerged: A vegetable market in Yantian, Shenzhen, offered free cooking services, causing panic among a group of restaurants!

🏃‍♂️ The competition is fierce! The rapid development of technology, like AI, is causing job displacement, and now even the food and beverage industry seems to be innovating. Milk tea has made its debut, aiming to be the "Light of Hell"; as for us in the stainless steel industry, we are now 'Searching for Light in Hell'...

After a long absence, the author's favorite jester commented on the situation today.

In July, the market lacked excitement, so stainless steel bosses have all started to travel, hoping to bring back a good mood and a good market trend. However, there is a group that is not worried about the market trend but is anxious about something else.

This group refers to the export sector.

📉 There has been a lot of talk about the tax rebate for zero-tax products, with the dividing line being the 20th. During the grace period, the tax rebate is about 2.2%. However, there is a rumor that after July 20th, the normal tax rate will be around 24%, but it is not clear whether this is true. The difference is quite significant. The tax rebate is to be implemented by the actual owner of the goods or the manufacturer, with customs brokers, shipping ports, and freight forwarders assisting in the completion.

Feedback from export merchants:

What I heard is that the 'two highs and one low' will be reviewed and supplemented, not just for stainless steel. It is said that according to the (value-added tax, income tax, and local tax) comprehensive preferential tax rate, a tax of 2.12% will be paid. Those who do not cooperate will bear the subsequent legal responsibilities.

Previously, foreign trade merchants reported:

Every order counts, and all must be supplemented. If there is a special reason for not being able to contact or refuse to supplement, the tax bureau will investigate from the business unit, customs broker, shipping port, freight forwarder, and owner, and if there is a clue interruption, it will be handed over to the economic investigation for handling until the supplement is completed.

Foreign trade merchants said:

It's hard to take orders, the industry is chaotic, so sometimes we hope it can be more standardized, at least the competition will not be so fierce. I feel that the people in our industry are very brave, they will be restrained on the tuyere, and after a while, they will still return to the original state. As for the tax supplement, I don't know if it's the whole industry to do it, or it depends on luck. The bullet has been flying for a while, and everyone should have a bottom in their hearts, just to see when this sword falls...

Regarding the rumors, export merchants said.

Overall, the group that has experienced its high moments is also slowly fading a bit.

BBA said it would collectively withdraw from the price war because the price war has hurt the foundation, and if it can't afford to lose, it won't play. The "shuffle tide" in the stainless steel industry is that those who can't hold on will run first.

In the current environment, which is not prosperous, with operating costs continuing to increase and profits becoming more difficult, people in the stainless steel industry have chosen to "hold on a little longer". As a result, everyone has become like a donkey in the Arabian region: the carrot hanging on the forehead is always there but always can't be eaten, but it gives it the motivation to move forward and the courage to persist.
