1. Project Background
The customer specializes in welding and clamping tooling equipment for automotive components. Frequent mold changes necessitate frequent tooling adjustments, leading to frequent disconnection and slippage of connector jaws, resulting in prolonged downtime. Additionally, the variety of pneumatic component part numbers is extensive, placing significant pressure on inventory. Standard connectors available on the market cannot withstand high-frequency plugging and unplugging conditions. Leyuan Hengyi has selected reinforced dual-jaw connectors, standardized pneumatic component specifications, and provides one-stop, integrated supply solutions. 2. Key Collaboration Metrics and Quantitative Outcomes
1. Order and Delivery Data
The two parties have established a long-term, integrated supply partnership, with bulk deliveries aligned with equipment order volumes. Non-standard configuration requests are addressed promptly, orders are delivered on schedule, and the coordination process runs smoothly with no delays in fulfillment.
2. Technical and Quality Performance
The reinforced dual-jaw connectors are designed to meet the demanding high-frequency plugging and unplugging requirements of the tooling, satisfying the reliability standards for repeated mold changes. Following deployment, connector slippage incidents have been significantly reduced, as verified through extended field testing under real-world operating conditions.
3. Supply Chain Coordination Efficiency
Leyuan Hengyi provides preliminary technical support for component selection, helping the customer streamline their BOM. After delivery, they continuously monitor on-site usage feedback, iteratively refine product adaptations, and support the development of the customer’s next-generation tooling equipment.3. Value of Project Collaboration
In this collaboration, Leyuan Hengyi leveraged its expertise in pneumatic connector R&D and manufacturing to specifically address the challenge of connector failure during high-frequency plugging and unplugging in tooling applications, offering a one-stop solution for pneumatic component integration. Connector slippage incidents decreased by 90%, downtime associated with tooling mold changes was reduced by 61%, inventory capital tied up in spare parts dropped by 32%, and procurement coordination man-hours were markedly cut, laying a solid foundation for both parties to deepen their long-term cooperation in the automotive components and equipment sector.
