Zhuolineng Launches New Automated Line, Monthly Atomizer Output Tops 30M

Zhuolineng Launches New Automated Line, Monthly Atomizer Output Tops 30M

On June 17, 2019, Shenzhen Zhuolineng Electronics Co., Ltd. officially launched its new automated production line. It is understood that this new automated production line was planned in October 2018 and underwent 8 months of continuous improvement and verification, ultimately achieving successful delivery.
 
It is reported that the new automated production line is equipped with industry-leading automation equipment, with a level of automation that is far ahead in the electronic cigarette industry. Compared to the conventional "manual + simple fixtures" assembly method, it not only significantly reduces labor costs but also increases production efficiency by over 50%. The successful launch of the new automated production line indicates that Zhuolineng's attempts in automated production have achieved a phased result, marking a key step in leading the industry in automated production.

Manufacturing Plant 3 has been put into production, and Manufacturing Plant 4 is under construction

According to Zhuolineng's senior management, this month, Manufacturing Plant 3, covering an area of 5,000 square meters, has been fully constructed and put into production. Additionally, Manufacturing Plant 4, which is planned to cover an area of 10,000 square meters, is currently under tight construction. Based on mature experience, Manufacturing Plant 4 will introduce the new automated production line in bulk and is expected to be completed and put into production by September 2019. By then, the total production area of Zhuolineng's manufacturing center will exceed 40,000 square meters, and the initial completion of production automation upgrades will double the monthly output of atomizers compared to 2018.
 
Automated production enhances market competitiveness

For a long time, electronic cigarette production has heavily relied on manual operations, which not only leads to low efficiency but also fails to ensure product stability and consistency—labor costs can account for up to 50% of electronic cigarette costs, and quality issues due to poor production process control are numerous.

As the industry matures, the market is increasingly polarized, with orders concentrating on a few quality enterprises. The significant increase in order volume has made production automation gradually possible; at the same time, enhancing production automation to reduce costs and improve quality is the best choice for maintaining competitiveness.
 
As a typical representative among a few quality enterprises, Zhuolineng has won the market by focusing on product research and development and has taken the lead in initiating automation upgrades. This will not only maintain its leading position in the industry but also stimulate the entire industry to move towards automation. In the next two to three years, consumers will be able to purchase electronic cigarette products at very affordable prices, and the significant improvement in cost-performance ratio will further expand the electronic cigarette market, achieving a virtuous cycle of industry development.
