Sharing Economy

Sharing Economy
5 min read

The essence of the sharing economy is to integrate idle resources and centralize and unify needs through existing shared products. For example, the shared machine tools developed by Shenyang Machine Tool achieve full utilization of machine tools by concentrating scattered machine tool processing orders. Of course, this is only one aspect of the sharing economy. Today's various shared products reveal that the sharing economy also has great potential value. From this point of view, it is very promising for CNC machining tool companies to develop the sharing economy.

 In recent years, Shenyang Machine Tool has made breakthroughs in core technologies and developed a new intelligent manufacturing model from i5 intelligent machine tool products to smart factories, from smart factories to "5D Intelligent Manufacturing Valley", and from "5D Intelligent Manufacturing Valley" to i5 intelligent manufacturing ecosystem. According to statistics, Shenyang Machine Tool has received orders for more than 20,000 i5 smart machine tools, more than 50 smart factories have been signed across the country, and 9 smart manufacturing valleys have been signed. The sharing economy is injecting new vitality into this old company. Although the sharing economy has unlimited prospects, judging from the development of other sharing economies - Wukong Bicycle and Ofo Little Yellow Car, "sharing" also has risks. How to achieve "true sharing" and achieve a "real economy" still requires a certain amount of effort. Time to explore. At present, the machine tool industry has not yet formed a complete sharing economic chain, but laser cutting and CNC machine tools, as industrial mother machines, if the sharing model can truly go online, it will definitely have a great impact on the entire manufacturing industry.

     Take shared machine tools as an example. In the past, many small businesses were discouraged from investing tens of thousands or even millions in equipment. However, with shared machine tools, companies can rent machine tools at lower prices, which greatly reduces equipment investment costs. At the same time, because renting machine tools does not have ownership of the machine tools, when the company's production is not good, there is no need to consider the disposal of the equipment, which effectively reduces the company's business risks. In the long run, the cheap price of renting equipment also lowers the threshold for starting a business, allowing entrepreneurs to enjoy the benefits of shared economic resources and stimulate entrepreneurial enthusiasm.

     In addition, for some companies with strong production cycles and obvious changes in supply and demand, shared machine tools can also enable them to achieve normal operations during peak periods without purchasing additional equipment, thereby achieving rational use of resources. Of course, for some companies with additional equipment, they can also rent machine tools to avoid equipment being idle.

     In addition to the situations mentioned above, under the shared machine tool model, small batches of personalized customization and personalized production will also rise. For example, some companies have small batch customization needs for specialty products, but do not have production equipment and other production resources on hand. At this time, they can meet production needs through shared machine tools.

     The shared items of zero and zero have brought great convenience to people's lives. As an industrial mother machine, the realization of sharing of machine tools will also bring new trends to the entire manufacturing industry. Overall, renting out idle equipment or taking external orders can effectively improve resource utilization and play a positive role in promoting resource integration in the entire manufacturing industry. For machine tool companies, this is also a new and effective means of expanding the market, which is conducive to the transformation and upgrading of the company. However, sharing economy production is determined by demand. Issues such as how to balance supply and demand, how to price shared products, and how to ensure the quality of produced products need to be further solved. In short, the sharing economy is a new economy with both opportunities and challenges. It remains to be seen where the machine tool sharing economy will go in the future.

     There is a popular saying on the Internet, "Standing on the wind, even pigs can take off." Nowadays, shared products such as shared bicycles, shared umbrellas, and shared power banks all over the streets seem to prove that the sharing economy is now the "window".
