In the past three months, copper prices have continued to rise. Some experts believe that the motor industry is a basic traditional industry, which has always been known for its material-intensive, labor-intensive, and low-profit products. In the overall cost, material costs account for more than 70%, and copper accounts for 25% to 40%. The price of copper has risen, and the cost of materials has risen to more than 50%, causing the entire industry to reduce its revenue by tens of millions of yuan this year. In the face of high copper prices, some companies have to take emergency measures to deal with the high cost of copper, which can only reduce orders or partially stop production; some companies do everything possible to reduce costs or adjust prices appropriately. Material market experts suggest that you should clarify the impact of copper prices on motor production costs to customers, gain customers’ understanding, and adjust prices appropriately. It is also a last resort. The adjustment range can be increased on the basis of their respective current prices, which is more beneficial to the company. Development, maintain orderly competition in the market, and take the road of sustainable development. Soldiers will stand in the way, and each will find a way out. Some large companies start with procurement costs, relatively concentrate funds, and purchase in low-level batches; some companies with strong R&D capabilities enter into technical design, such as improving the winding structure without affecting performance. Next, the amount of copper used for each motor is reduced by tens of grams to one or two hundred grams. A person from an enterprise introduced: Now that the price of enameled wire is rising drastically, many companies still do the same. We also have our own know-how, because the company has made YE2 series three-phase asynchronous motors by modifying the winding method, saving a lot of copper. In fact, the double-layer concentric winding did not appear recently. It was tested in Wuxi Electric Motor Factory and other units as early as the 1980s. Later, low-voltage and high-power motors such as ABB and Siemens introduced by domestic manufacturers were taken off the assembly line in this way using scattered-embedded windings, and they started to be used again in China. The main reason is to save the length of the end part, that is, to use two single-layer concentric windings into double-layer windings. Now there are grouped double-layer concentric windings, which can save end length better. In addition to controlling the method of reducing the price of raw materials, some companies have relatively expanded their production scale and reduced variable costs under the condition of constant fixed costs; some companies have started with cost management, distinguishing the cost status of different products, and more production benefits. Good market products, products with high cost of production restriction and discontinuation; some companies implement restrictions and supply less for downstream companies that are in arrears of funds or downstream companies that cannot raise prices, and do everything possible to reduce costs. Symptoms need to address the root cause and develop new special products. The corresponding measures taken by the various companies in the meeting to communicate with each other, but companies must truly adapt to market changes, start with technology, take the route of high-level and high-price competition, and develop new and special products that are required by the market. , Create its own famous brand, adjust the company's product structure to a large extent, and expand to energy-saving, high-efficiency, and high-tech products. Facts have proved that many companies have begun to take precautions and have learned from the experience of the skyrocketing silicon steel sheet in the past few years. After hard work, the products have been adjusted from ordinary motors to new specialties, which has withstood the risks brought by the rise in copper prices this year. For example, due to the adjustment of product structure, the output value of a company in the first half of this year was 80 million yuan, an increase of 7% year-on-year, but its efficiency increased by more than 50% year-on-year, and it achieved impressive performance. There is an internationally well-known brand company, although the price has to increase by more than 10%, but the customer not only has not decreased, but the production order is still overwhelmed. Therefore, if you want to develop a business, you must look at problems with a development perspective. When the situation is still under control, you can take precautions before you can gain a foothold in the unpredictable market.
