Chapter 163 World Skills Competition(1/2)
After the technical exchange, Fatty still tried hand-held laser welding on a scrap board. The result was that the welding was not done well, and each section looked like a dog crawling through shit.
The master worker laughed and said that he should practice more and he would get the feel of it after practicing for a few hours. They were the same as him when they first started operating.
Feng Younan took Mu Yang to see the entire subway car production process. After watching it, he took him and Fatty to his office to sit for a while.
He consulted Mu Yang and said that workers cannot avoid welding mistakes, and the appearance of each worker's welding is slightly different. The work intensity is high, people will be tired, and the production efficiency will be low.
Mu Yang suggested: "I took a look and found that you also have some products that can be mass-produced and can use robotic laser welding to solve your problems. We have developed this type of equipment and its application is relatively mature."
At present, Xinghai Machinery Company is still focusing on promoting handheld laser welding equipment, but if it can receive orders for robotic laser welding equipment, it can proceed in advance and install it after the year.
"Oh, yes, you can try this. Is this equipment expensive? If applicable, I recommend buying a few sets."
"The complete set sells for 600,000 yuan, including robot, laser and two-axis positioner."
Feng Younan pondered for a moment and then said: "If the problem can be solved, the price will be acceptable."
"Mr. Feng can provide me with some samples. I will take them back when I return to H City. I will take a video for you during the welding process and then send the welded samples back. Of course, you can also send someone to our company for inspection, which is more convenient.
." Mu Yang suggested, unexpectedly, there would be something to gain from this business trip.
Feng Younan was silent for a moment, and felt that Mu Yang's method was also feasible, so he said: "Okay, I'll have someone bring some samples and take a video. Then I will show the video and samples to the leadership of Sifang Factory. If
If they agree to purchase, I will go to your company to take a look.
The purchasing here is not all decided by me, there are some things that I alone have no say in."
"Yes, I also understand Mr. Feng. Leaders from Sifang Factory are always welcome to visit Xinghai Company for inspection." Mr. Mu understands that the interpersonal relationships in state-owned enterprises are complicated. Mr. Feng comes from the headquarters and is still in charge of technology. He can only assist and cannot directly intervene.
Branch factory management.
Feng Younan smiled and said: "Haha, although I didn't purchase your equipment this time, I will introduce you to an old classmate. He is a senior executive of a big company in the same city. If they are willing to purchase handheld laser welding equipment, the purchase volume will definitely be high.
."
Mu Yang was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, thank you very much for Mr. Feng's recommendation. No matter whether the business succeeds or not, I owe you a favor."
Feng Younan smiled gently. He liked this young man better. He was motivated and knowledgeable about technology. There were not many young people like him.
"Let's have lunch then. I'll invite him out to have a meal together while you're here."
"That's best. I'm treating you, so don't take it away." Mu Yang didn't know what kind of medicine was in his gourd. He made it so mysterious that he didn't even say which company's senior executive he was.
"Okay, I won't fight for a treat with a big boss like you, haha." Feng Younan stood up, patted Mu Yang on the shoulder and joked, and then mentioned, "Originally, when you come to Qingdao, I should treat you to a meal
meal."
After Feng Younan finished speaking, he called immediately, and the other party immediately agreed.
"It's done." Feng Younan smiled, picked up the phone and called again, "I'll have someone bring a few samples over first, and then we'll go out to eat together."
Mu Yang nodded and searched online for any good local restaurants. He was very curious about who Mr. Feng would introduce to him.
These older generations just love to titillate people.
Mu Yang was not familiar with the local restaurants in Qingdao, so he finally let Feng Younan choose. Mr. Feng chose a local mid-to-high-end private restaurant.
Feng Younan wanted to drink and did not drive. He took Mu Yang's car. The fat man could only sit in the passenger seat. There were only two seats in the back of the Phantom.
After the car drove away, Feng Younan felt that the car was very stable. He leaned on the back seat and said comfortably: "Thanks to you, this is my first time riding in this car. It is indeed very comfortable."
"It's just a walking tool, don't take it too seriously."
"That's still different. This car costs nearly 10 million, and most bosses with assets over 100 million won't be willing to buy this car.
Xiao Wang mentioned that you also have a company that is preparing to go public, with a market value of tens of billions, and I was a little surprised." Feng Younan touched the exquisite interior decorations and was impressed by the exquisite craftsmanship.
He didn't lament that the car was expensive, but he appreciated the craftsmanship, just like he admired Mu Yang's argon arc welding skills.
Suddenly, Feng Younan thought about an event: "Mr. Mu, you have been practicing argon arc welding for a long time. At your level, you can win the prize in the welding event of the World Skills Competition."
"World Welding Skills Competition?"
Mu Yang has some knowledge of this skills competition. It is organized by WorldSkills and is known as the "Skills Olympics". It is held every two years and is an important platform for WorldSkills members to display and exchange professional skills. Welding is a competition in dozens of categories.
One of the projects.
Most people don't know that this skills competition exists. Most technical schools recommend students with better skills to participate, or state-owned enterprises send young employees to participate, and private companies will not let their employees give up their work to participate in the competition.
The age limit for contestants in most competition projects is 22 years old. There are only a few comprehensive projects that require work experience, and the age limit for contestants is 25 years old.
At this age, they generally have just started working. If students in technical schools have little operating experience, their operating skills cannot be compared with those of masters who have been working for more than ten or twenty years.
With Muyang's level 5 intermediate welding operation skills, coupled with his level 5 welding theory skills, he has a deep understanding of welding. Regardless of welding technology or theory, he can beat these young contestants.
Mu Yang has watched the video of the competition. If the operating level of these contestants is evaluated by the system, it is probably the upper-middle level of level 4, and some of the good ones can barely reach the level of level 5.
Of course, there are a lot of talents in the world competition, and there may be one or two extremely talented players who can also reach Mu Yang's level in operating skills.
After all, the competition is about operational skills, not theory.
Of course, if Mu Yang really wants to compete, he can directly improve his operating skills to level six.
Mu Yang only remembered it when Feng Younan mentioned this competition to him.
Mu Yang felt that it was of little significance to participate in such competitions as his current big boss. Even if he won the first place and competed for a gold medal for the country, the gold content would be far less than the gold medal in the Olympic Games.
Of course, what he values is achievement points, which is why Mu Yang values this competition.
If you win a gold medal in a world competition, you should have a lot of achievement points.
"Mr. Feng, is it easy to participate?" Mu Yang didn't know much about how to register for the competition and how to select.
Feng Younan was slightly surprised and said: "You don't really want to participate, do you? It's a bit of a waste of time. I was just talking."
Mu Yang said seriously: "Let's just play it for fun. I know this game, but I don't understand it deeply."
For him, the interest is really great. He can't participate in the Olympics, but if he can participate in such competitions and win gold medals and get achievement points, he feels that life will be very good.
"It is not difficult to participate. Technical schools or companies sign up for the trials in the province where they are located. If they pass, they will enter the training camp. After the training camp, they will participate in the national trials. The top few will enter the national team. After the national team training, they will be selected again. The strongest one or two will be selected.
Finally represented the country in the competition.
If you want to participate, now is the provincial selection competition time, so you must register quickly.
Our group also recommended young welders to participate in the provincial trials this year, but their level is far from winning awards. They are just to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors.
Welders with good skills are all in the pressure vessel, pipeline and aviation industries. They weld workpieces at all stations all year round and have a relatively high level. However, most of them are too old to participate.
Today I saw you welding 45-degree fixed pipe butt argon arc welding. This position is the most difficult to weld. With your level, winning a gold medal is probably not a big problem.
However, if you, a big boss, are interested in participating in this kind of competition, it doesn’t have much practical significance, just for fun.”
Mu Yang knew that Feng Younan was right. For ordinary welders, winning an award would be of great help to their future. They could be directly evaluated as technicians, work as training teachers in technical schools, and even work in companies, they could still get high wages.
.
He participated mainly to gain achievement points. If it was less than 1 point, it felt like all the effort was in vain.
His first place in the 3,000m event at the campus meet was worth 0.5 achievement points. No matter how low the gold content of this World Skills Competition is, if he wins, he will definitely get more than 1 achievement point.
"Okay, then I'll give it a try. Thank you, Mr. Feng, for reminding me." Mu Yang was very grateful. Suddenly, he felt that he had to participate in the competition to earn achievement points anyway. There were other events, so he might as well apply for one or two more.
"Mr. Feng, since I'm going to participate in the competition anyway, I just want to apply for one or two more items, and I might as well add mechatronics and CAD mechanical design." Mu Yang felt embarrassed after saying this.
"..."
Hearing this, Feng Younan was shocked by Mu Yang's words.
So many to attend?
Do you know this much?
Is it ok?
If there is no conflict in game time, there seems to be no limit.
Feng Younan thought that this little guy could design handheld laser welding, mechatronics and CAD mechanical design, and he might be good at it. Thinking about it, this little guy had a wide range of knowledge and was very powerful.
"You have so many applications, and the competition only lasts for 8 days. There must be time conflicts during the competition, and the national training bases for each event are scattered. You said that these items are likely to be in different cities.
However, it’s okay to report too much. You still have to go through the selection competition anyway. If you have multiple items to enter the national training camp, just choose the one you are most confident about. If you have more than two items, you will be too busy." Feng Younan replied.
Mu Yang nodded. He used to be a welding engineer, and he was dedicated to understanding the content of the welding projects in this competition. However, he was not clear about the channels for participating and the status of other projects, and he did not understand it in such detail as Feng Younan, a technical expert.
For example, in the welding project, previous competitions required contestants to complete the welding of four modules within four days and 18 hours, including single-piece welding, mild steel pressure vessels, aluminum alloy structural parts, and stainless steel structural parts.
Because this kind of skill competition is very intense, it is not required to be completed in one day. You can freely arrange your time and press pause when you are tired.
Therefore, you can complete this project and then participate in the second project.
However, as Feng Younan said, he can only participate in two events at most. No matter how many more, he will definitely be too busy. The national coach will not allow him to do this. After all, a country can send up to two people to a single event.
The only troublesome thing is the training. Most of the training bases for each session are set at technical colleges in various cities, and a small number are placed in enterprises.
Of course, there is more than one training base for a project, and 3-5 training bases are generally chosen.
"As long as you can participate, let's give it a try anyway. I don't know if I can represent the country. The more entries I make, the more chances I will have to participate." Mu Yang replied.
"Well, it's a good idea, but it's a bit troublesome for a big boss like you."
"It doesn't matter, just think of it for fun and bring glory to the country." Mu Yang replied.
"Well, that's good. Bring glory to the country and win a few more gold medals. If you really win the award, it will also increase your personal influence. Anyway, you are specializing in welding. Putting the gold medals in the hall will be more convincing. If you don't
