In order to fight the epidemic, where did they come from?
From the construction machinery manufacturing cross-border to the development of masks, Tianyi High-tech Company has only used it for 20 days. Starting from February 10th, they dispatched 40 technicians to conduct R & D, designed prototype drawings in just 7 days, and produced fully automatic mask machines in 13 days. Photo courtesy

As the new crown pneumonia epidemic continues to spread, the shortage of anti-epidemic materials in some countries and regions has gradually become apparent, and the World Health Organization has stated that it is doing its best to ensure supply.
At the same time, many countries are drawing on the experience of some Chinese companies in converting medical supplies to coordinate the transformation of their manufacturing companies to produce scarce equipment such as ventilators.
As a major manufacturing country in the world, during this epidemic, many manufacturing companies in China successfully converted cross-border production of anti-epidemic materials, which caused widespread concern.
Chinese companies have crossed borders during the epidemic
According to the data of Tianyan Inspection, based on the changes in the industrial and commercial registration information, from February 1 to March 15, 2020, more than 28,000 companies across the country have added "masks, forehead guns, disinfectants, protective clothing, medical treatment, etc." Equipment "and other related businesses.
Enterprises have crossed borders, on the one hand stemming from the front-line epidemic prevention supplies, especially the large gaps in medical protective clothing, masks, etc .; on the other hand, due to government-level encouragement.
Previously, affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the demand for medical and health supplies such as masks, protective clothing, and alcohol skyrocketed. The three ministries and commissions, the Ministry of Finance, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, issued documents to encourage enterprises to adopt technological transformation and increase production lines (equipment). ) Quickly expand production capacity, etc., and take multiple measures to expand the production and supply of key medical protection materials, and implement government procurement and storage of key medical materials for epidemic prevention and control; the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the General Administration of Market Supervision, etc. have launched a "one-way green light" model, from funding, policies At other levels, "encourage and promote the relevant companies to convert medical materials."
"This large-scale enterprise conversion is a powerful test of economic mobilization during the war." Said Liu Zhiming, full-time deputy director of the Beijing National Economy and Equipment Mobilization Office.
Complete and flexible supply chain
It took only a few days for SAIC-GM-Wuling to complete the production of its own masks and the delivery of the first batch of products.
On February 8th, auto company BYD announced on its official WeChat that it would produce masks and disinfectants, and on February 16 the first batch of medical-grade disposable disinfection gels were shipped to frontline anti-epidemic personnel.
From the cross-border construction machinery manufacturing to the development of masks, Tianyi High-tech Co. has only used it for 20 days. Starting from February 10th, they dispatched 40 technicians to conduct R & D, designed prototype drawings in just 7 days, and produced fully automatic mask machines in 13 days.

What makes these companies cross borders so fast?
Science and Technology Daily reporter interviewed several experts learned that the technical threshold for the production of masks is not high. The automobile industry itself has the advantages of a “big industry”. Compared with its strong production capacity and efficient social resources coordination ability, it can be said that manufacturing masks is not too difficult.
For example, the key raw material for the production of masks is a special polypropylene, which is widely used in automotive interiors. The production of medical masks requires constant temperature and humidity, and requires a dust-free environment, which is also consistent with the "painting workshop" of the production base of automobile companies.
An unnamed "crossover" from Jinan told reporters: "We are serious about making masks. From aseptic workshops to raw materials, from production lines to suppliers, we have all the conditions needed for professional mask production."
It can be seen that a complete and flexible supply chain is the basis for the manufacturing industry to achieve "adaptability", and it is also the key to meeting challenges and resisting risks.
"Don't be professional" can also rejuvenate new life
The founder of Beijing Yiduchuan Clothing Group Co., Ltd. He Boyuan pointed out that the conversion means that based on the company's existing production conditions, it is necessary to carry out workshop renovation, equipment procurement, employee training, and qualification application, as well as master the necessary production processes and processes. Obviously, investment in production lines and raw materials is difficult to recover in the short term, and market demand will fall sharply after the epidemic. So what will these cross-border enterprises do?
Experts point out that China's medical device market is in great demand. In 2018, the size of China's medical device market has risen to 530.4 billion yuan. With the escalation of the domestic public consumption level, the aging of the population, and the expansion of medical insurance coverage, the increase in medical demand is expected to continue to grow. The size of the medical device market will further expand and the prospects are promising.
Zhu Jianxin, deputy general manager of Shanhe Intelligent, said in an interview with the media that as a special equipment, mask machine will become a conventional product produced by Shanhe Intelligent. After this epidemic, people's living habits will change a little. They are very important to the future market. Optimistic.
"The production and epidemic prevention production line is only part of the enterprise's layout in the medical and health industry sector." Dan Tao, general manager of the supply chain center of Mengjie Group, said that the company is currently developing some health-functional products and materials to combine home textile products with health functions. Based on the previous sales feedback, we have initially felt the market demand and favor for health products.
The outbreak is not all a crisis for companies. If the epidemic situation is the first, the user is the first, and the degree of marketing is well grasped, the enterprise "doing nothing to do business" may also have a new vitality.
