One day, the message "Trump won the 2024 US election" popped up on my phone. This interrupted my original idea of introducing SDVC341. Then let's talk about Trump's actions in the manufacturing industry and talk about my thoughts on the SDVC341 product. To return to the White House again, Trump proposed a series of slogans and plans. As a member of the industrial manufacturing industry, many people must have noticed that one of Trump's election slogans is to bring manufacturing back to the United States. "Manufacturing Renaissance" is the center, focusing on supporting the US manufacturing industry, reducing corporate taxes to 15%, manufacturers can get tax breaks on research and development and may impose high tariffs on foreign goods (Source: Donald Trump's economic speech at a rally in Savannah, Georgia on September 24) So, some are happy and some are worried: The good news is that the policy of returning manufacturing may increase the demand for industrial automation equipment such as vibrating feeder controllers. More companies are building factories in the United States, and they need efficient automation equipment to improve production efficiency. What worries me is that if tariffs are raised, high tariffs will also make it more difficult for domestic export manufacturing companies.

As the core component of the automated production line, the vibration feeder controller is a key device for achieving precise material delivery, improving production efficiency, and realizing intelligent control and integration, and plays a very important role in the manufacturing industry. In the future, in an increasingly competitive environment, how should vibratory feeder controller manufacturers deal with the uncertain risks brought by politics?

Competing on price? Competing on innovation? Competing on relationships?

These may not be enough.

Competing on customer value may be the final destination. Simply put: how many problems can your vibration feeder controller product solve for customers?

Unlike C-end products such as the retail consumer industry, which may be purchased due to a temporary trend and emotional thinking impulse, the purchase of B-end products such as industrial manufacturing is the result of measurement and selection driven by rational thinking.

Today, the functional value of the SDVC341 "sensor sharing" to be introduced can be reduced to four words: practical and economical.

01 First of all, it is practical

Simple networking and free signal calling

- practical -

We are engaged in the production of automotive parts. When the order volume is large, the factories are very busy. In the past, the parameters of each controller needed to be debugged separately, which was complicated and easy to cause errors when people were busy. Now it is much more convenient. Through SDVC341, we can monitor and adjust the parameters of all workstations in real time on one platform, ensuring the coordinated work of each controller and greatly improving the management level of our production line.

Through CUHBus-DS® technology, SDVC341 can support up to 8 devices to be networked. After networking, any port signal of any controller can be called by other controllers. This free signal-sharing method makes the design and implementation of the control system more flexible, reduces the complexity of wiring, and reduces the possibility of errors in equipment debugging and verification.

02  The second is economy

Using 1 to 8, reducing costs and improving efficiency

Our site is relatively small. Before using SDVC341, each controller needed to be equipped with a sensor, which was very troublesome to wire and debug. Later, after SDVC341 was launched, CUH sent us a prototype. After the trial, we gradually replaced the controllers of the production line, which not only reduced the cost of purchasing sensors, but also reduced the trouble of wiring and debugging.  ... Whether it is the "universal language", "universal voltage", or "universal sensor" and other functions of SDVC341 promoted in previous issues, or the "sensor sharing" function introduced today, they are all developed and produced with the core of solving customers' practical problems. Therefore, they can receive positive feedback from the market.

The only thing that does not change in this world is change, but "creating value for customers and solving practical problems" will never change.
