With the restart and acceleration of work in Shanghai's automotive industry, the automotive supply chain is gradually recovering. However, the supply of "proprietary chips" remains uncertain.
Recently, Mr. He Xiaopeng, Chairman and CEO of XPeng Motors, voiced an "urgent need for chips" on an online platform. As the automotive supply chain gradually recovers, existing problems have been alleviated to some extent, but it is reported that each smart vehicle requires an absolute number of over 5,000 chips, involving hundreds of types, many of which are proprietary chips.
In the future, with the continuous development of the "smart manufacturing industry," chips will become increasingly important and demand will continue to grow. Manufacturers will install hydraulic buffers on production lines to increase chip production capacity. It is believed that this will yield some new gains from this state of shortage. Meanwhile, adding hydraulic buffers to chip production lines can also improve production precision.
In automated production lines, to effectively ensure the precision of robotic arm operations, hydraulic buffers can be set to achieve specific speeds and stable movements, effectively balancing the moving bodies.
At the same time, they eliminate non-mechanical vibrations and collisions, greatly reduce noise, and provide a quiet working environment. Most importantly, they accelerate the operating frequency of machines and enhance the efficient production capacity of high-quality products. Furthermore, hydraulic buffers can effectively extend the service life of production lines and reduce after-sales costs in precision industries.
At present, the signal of chip shortage sent by XPeng's CEO has once again brought the "chip shortage" into the spotlight. In addition to installing hydraulic buffers to improve production capacity, manufacturers must also find other ways to accelerate production to resolve the chip shortage situation.
