As an automotive media practitioner, nothing is more attractive than walking to Germany and experiencing the German automotive industry in close quarters! From June 29th to July 1st, 2016, the reporter should be at the ZF Group in Germany. Invited to attend a ZF 2016 global news release and test drive with a Chinese professional media group in Aachen, Germany. Visit the ZF factory and interview technical personnel to experience the charm of “Made in Germany†at close range.
ZF plant in Koblenz
After finishing the test drive on the 30th day, the media group traveled to Koblenz, a small, beautiful city in southwestern Germany, on the morning of July 1, 2016. ZF is here. ) The location of the factory. Koblenz belongs to the Rhineland-Palatinate, where the German Rhein river and the Mosel river meet, and the confluence forms the famous German corner. Deutsches Eck). On the square stands the statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I. The flag with the emblem of the twelve states of Germany is flanked by the statue of German emperor, symbolizing the unity of Germany. This small city was destroyed during the Second World War. After the war, the historic buildings were restored. The newcomers have a modern form. You can discover the fascinating aspect that Koblenz presented to the world as long as you stroll around the city.

After listening to the brief introduction of the factory receptionist, the media delegation first entered the ZF commercial vehicle gearbox assembly workshop. The clean environment, the rigorous process, and the uniform assembly line are impressive. It is easy to take care that user-friendly assembly tools are structured and the employees' rigorous work style is in stark contrast to the relaxed state of leisure. It is noteworthy that a small whiteboard is hung at the beginning of each processing operation. The name of the responsible person is marked on the top and the corresponding process flow is marked with a different colored marker pen. As a result of the detailed inquiry, it is clear that marking with different colored markers is to clarify responsibilities and avoid mistakes. This is a meticulous expression of ZF's treatment of products and the secret of the world's glamour in German automotive products.
Honor trophies displayed in the factory area
After visiting the final assembly shop, the media team immediately went to ZF's refinery production workshop. Everyone who enters here needs to be "fully armed" by wearing uniforms, hats, and shoe covers of the same specifications provided by the factory. Before entering the workshop, they must also perform "static electricity" treatment before they can enter in batches. Fine degree of automation in the workshop is extremely high, and numerous CNC machine tools control the entire process of machining and inspection. In the huge assembly shop, you can't see too many people shaking their heads. The Germans seem to prefer to use "inflexible" ways to automate more processes in the setup process or to complete relatively complex operations with robots. It looks like everything in front of you is simple, but behind it is hundreds of complex debuggings.
Every ZF product has a very high production assembly requirement
The workshop staff explained to us that the ultimate simplicity is the mission of ZF researchers. On the surface, everything seems very simple. A shock absorber and a clutch disc spring come from very simple mechanical principles. Here, every molecule has been studied, from the metallic mirror phase to the oil's quality viscosity, and more importantly, these quasi-products have experienced hundreds of thousands of undifferentiated fatigues throughout the life cycle in dozens of days. The purpose of the test is to ensure the quality and stability of the loading application.
The gearboxes of many luxury brand passenger cars also come from ZF.
This can not help but sigh, this "German characteristics" strong production habits can hardly be copied, which is derived from the German a serious habit, meticulous nature. It is this rigorous and almost stubborn spirit that allows them to tirelessly carry out simple and cumbersome trial and improvement, dismantling complex technical problems into simple ones, but so-called simplicity is essentially step by step and methodical. In modern manufacturing, details determine success or failure, and precision determines quality. Regarding ZF, both details and precision come from the German spirit of the company. To do simple things, make things easier, and copy the streamlined products in large quantities to make them stronger.
ZF is a typical example of "Made in Germany", and the essence of "Made in Germany" is a spiritual, meticulous and pursuing excellence.
ZF is a typical case of "Made in Germany"
Once divided, Germany, after the unification of Bismarck, the prime minister, embarked on the road to a powerful industrial rejuvenation. For more than a hundred years, the “Made in Germany†represented by the automotive industry has become more and more active and has grown from small to large, creating a trustworthy international image. After the economic crisis in Europe in 2008, the German economy was “outstandingâ€. The German industry, which is safe, reliable, precise, durable, and global, supported the continuous development of the national economy and supported the hope of an economic recovery in Europe as a whole.
Taking manufacturing as the foundation of the country, taking national control as the guiding principle, and taking small and medium-sized enterprises as the backbone, it is an important reason why German industry has suffered through hardships for many years. With the introduction and implementation of Germany's "Industry 4.0" innovation concept in recent years, Germany has always been an outstanding model and reliable partner for Chinese manufacturing. What China needs to learn from Germany is more than merely productism or technical know-how. It is the meticulous industrialization of Germans and the “creation spirit†that has long been integrated into the blood.
At this point, the author believes that the use of Mr. Xi Jinping’s visit to Germany for the development of the two countries is the most appropriate for this article: “I believe that when the 'Made in Germany' and 'Made in China' work together in good faith, we create It will be not only high-quality products but also the happiness and ideals of the two peoples!"
