Recently, Dongdian Packaging, a well-known automotive packaging solution provider in China, has once again received a good news - the company has been awarded the title of “Outstanding Supplier of the Year” by Ideal Automobile for the third consecutive year due to its excellent performance in the fields of material research and development, design innovation, and service guarantee. This award not only highlights the leading position of Dongdian Packaging in the field of automotive packaging, but also proves that its innovative practice of deep synergy with new energy vehicle enterprises is highly recognized by the market.
**Deep plowing in technology research and development to crack the pain point of the industry***
Against the background of the rapid development of new energy automobile industry, OEMs have put forward higher requirements for parts packaging. Dongdian Packaging, in response to the stringent quality control standards of ideal automobiles, has set up a special technical team and innovatively adopted high-strength composite environmentally friendly materials. After testing, the impact resistance of the new packaging material is increased by 40%, and the breakage rate of single product transportation is reduced to less than 0.3%. While guaranteeing the safety of precision parts, the material recycling rate breaks through 95%, which is a perfect match for the development trend of the new energy industry in terms of green and low-carbon.
“We have established 18 quality control nodes from raw material procurement to finished product testing.” The technical director of Dongdian Packaging said in an interview, “Through the introduction of German Zeiss industrial CT testing equipment, the internal structure of the packaging can be analyzed by three-dimensional imaging to ensure that each box meets military-grade protection standards.”
**Intelligent design empowerment to build brand-specific solutions**
In the face of the unique modeling structure and component characteristics of new energy vehicles, Dongdian Packaging has set up a cross-border team consisting of industrial designers, structural engineers and data analysts. Using SolidWorks, AutoCAD and other professional software for parametric modeling, combined with Ideal Automobile's family design language, Dongdian Packaging developed an exclusive packaging system with brand recognition. Among them, the modularized packaging solution for Ideal L series has increased the space utilization rate by 32% and the loading capacity of a single container by 25% through the design of adjustable liners, saving logistics costs of more than ten million yuan for customers every year.
What is more noteworthy is that the packaging life cycle management system independently developed by the enterprise has been put into application. The system monitors packaging flow data in real time through IoT sensors, optimizes the cycle path with AI algorithms, improves packaging turnover efficiency by 50%, and helps Ideal Automobile realize the visual control of the whole supply chain process.
**All-weather service matrix escorting intelligent manufacturing**
In terms of service system construction, Dongdian Packaging creates a pioneering “3-hour emergency response circle”, lays out intelligent warehousing centers within a 200-kilometer radius of Ideal Automobile's five production bases, and equips them with an exclusive logistics fleet and a 24-hour technical support team. Through the VMI supplier management inventory model, the company realizes accurate placement and dynamic replenishment of packaging materials, and maintains 100% on-time delivery rate during the pressure test when Ideal Auto's production capacity exceeded 50,000 units in a single month.
“Our cooperation with Ideal Auto has gone beyond the traditional supply and demand relationship.” The general manager of Dongdian Packaging said at the award ceremony, “The joint labs of both parties are developing cutting-edge projects such as carbon fiber intelligent recycling boxes, and in the future, we will realize the full life-cycle management of packaging assets through the implantation of RFID chips, which is expected to reduce the use of wooden packaging materials by 8,000 cubic meters per year.”
**Innovation-driven development to build a new industrial ecology **
Behind the three times the laurels, is the Dongdian packaging continued to increase the strategic strength of R & D investment. The enterprise invests 6% of its annual revenue in technological innovation, and has obtained 67 national patents and participated in the formulation of three industry standards. The automotive packaging digital platform, integrated from design simulation to the cycle of traceability of the whole chain of services, is now accelerating to the aviation precision instruments, high-end medical equipment and other areas of extension.
Standing at a new starting point, Dongdian Packaging announced the launch of the “Star Plan”, investing 500 million yuan to build an intelligent green packaging industrial park. After the completion of the project, it will form a production capacity of 2 million sets of special packaging for new energy vehicles annually, and support the construction of a national testing and certification center. As the person in charge of the supply chain of Ideal Automobile said, “Dongdian Packaging has redefined the value connotation of automobile packaging with continuous innovation, and their professionalism has formed a perfect resonance with our concept of car-making.”
Driven by the goal of carbon neutrality, the automotive packaging industry is ushering in a critical window of transformation and upgrading. Dongdian Packaging's innovative development path provides the industry with a transformation and upgrading model of “technology-based + value-added services + ecological co-creation”.
