Customized Non-Standard Automation Equipment for Efficient Production

Comparison Dimension

Standard Equipment

Non-Standard Equipment

Definition

Mass-produced mechanical equipment or production facilities designed, manufactured and tested in accordance with unified industry specifications and national/industry standards. They can be directly purchased from the market for general production scenarios.

Custom-developed and manufactured equipment tailored for specific production processes, functional requirements or enterprise-specific production scenarios. It cannot be mass-produced, and there is no unified industry standard to follow, and each set of equipment has unique design parameters and structural design.

Design & Development

Unified design drawings and development standards. Manufacturers can mass produce according to fixed design schemes, the development cycle is short, and the design cost is shared by mass products, so the unit design cost is low.

One-to-one customized design according to customer's specific requirements. R&D engineers need to complete targeted structural design, function matching and process verification, the development cycle is long, and all R&D costs are borne by a single order, so the overall R&D cost is high.

Production Mode

Mass production on assembly lines, with stable production process, mature manufacturing technology and short delivery cycle. Manufacturers can prepare raw materials and semi-finished products in advance according to market forecasts, effectively shortening the waiting time for customers.

Single-piece small-batch production, each order requires separate raw material procurement, processing and assembly. The production process needs to be adjusted according to the design scheme of each equipment, the manufacturing process is complex, and the delivery cycle is usually much longer than that of standard equipment.

Scope of Application

Suitable for general production links and common process requirements, widely used in mass production scenarios in various industries. It can meet the general functional requirements of most enterprises, but cannot adapt to special process or customized production scenarios.

Suitable for special production links, personalized process requirements or small-batch customized production. It is often used to solve the production problems that cannot be solved by standard equipment, such as special size processing, specific functional integration, special production environment adaptation, etc.

Price & Cost

Due to mass production and scale effect, the unit price is relatively low, and the price is transparent. Users can directly compare prices through the market, and the later use cost is also relatively stable.

Due to customized R&D and single-piece manufacturing, the overall price is significantly higher than that of standard equipment of the same power level. The price is determined according to the functional requirements and processing difficulty, and there is no uniform market price.

After-sales & Maintenance

Spare parts are uniformly produced, easy to purchase and replace, maintenance procedures are standardized, and after-sales service response speed is fast. Most manufacturers provide standardized after-sales service terms, and maintenance costs are low.

Spare parts are non-universal and need to be customized for reprocessing, the maintenance cycle is long, and the maintenance cost is high. After-sales service needs to be targeted according to the customized structure of the equipment, which requires higher professional ability of maintenance technicians.

Upgrade & Iteration

The product iteration is carried out by the manufacturer according to the unified planning. When users need to upgrade, they usually replace the whole equipment directly, and the iteration cost is clear.

It can be upgraded and modified according to the changes of the user's subsequent production process. On the premise of retaining the main structure, only the functional modules are adjusted, which can better adapt to the long-term change of production requirements of the enterprise.

Lead Time

Most finished products are in stock, which can be delivered immediately after order confirmation, and the delivery cycle is usually within 1 to 15 days.

It needs to go through R&D design, raw material procurement, processing and assembly, and functional debugging. The delivery cycle is usually 30 to 180 days, and some complex customized equipment even takes longer.
