BOCHU Sky Eye Empowers Dainan Xingmai Machine Company to Break Cost Barriers
“The Sky Eye is really convenient, without cumbersome procedures, typical BOCHU style, quite user-friendly. ”
Located in Jiangsu Province, Dainan Xingmai Machine Shop, a leader in the external processing industry, specializes in 3 mm stainless steel plate processing. By adopting BOCHU’s innovative Sky Eye series, the company has dramatically enhanced its production efficiency and slashed costs, cementing its competitive edge in the market.
Tackling the Remnant Challenge with Smart Solutions
In traditional stainless steel processing, cutting whole plates generates significant amounts of remnants. A representative from Dainan Xingmai explains, “We used to manually measure and nest relatively regular remnants, while irregular ones were often discarded as waste.” This inefficient process not only increased costs but also limited the company’s competitiveness.
Seeking a smarter solution, Dainan Xingmai became one of the early adopters of BOCHU’s Sky Eye feature. “When BOCHU launched the Sky Eye series, we immediately installed it,” the leader shared.
Sky Eye: Streamlining Processes with Ease
The Sky Eye series revolutionizes remnant handling with its advanced scanning technology. By simply scanning the remnant, the system generates precise profiles, enabling one-click nesting through BOCHU’s CloudNest platform. “The biggest advantage is the simplified nesting process,” the leader noted, “What used to require multiple steps from measurement to nesting is now reduced to just one or two operations.”
The Sky Eye system embodies BOCHU’s signature user-friendly design, requiring no complex procedures. “It’s incredibly convenient and perfect for operators without extensive technical expertise,” the leader added, “It’s the typical BOCHU style—intuitive and efficient.”
Cost Savings and Competitive Advantage
With Sky Eye, Dainan Xingmai has transformed remnants into a strategic asset. Remnants cost 40% to 50% less than whole plates, yet the parts cut from them maintain identical quality. This has enabled the company to reduce product prices by 20% to 30%, significantly boosting its market competitiveness.
The results speak for themselves: the company’s whole plate cutting rate has dropped from 90% to just 60%, with over 40% of production now utilizing remnants. Demand for remnants has grown so high that the company’s own supply is no longer sufficient. “We now purchase large amounts of remnants from external sources for production,” the leader revealed.
From Company Remnants to Market Integration
BOCHU’s Sky Eye has not only enabled Dainan Xingmai to maximize its own remnants but also to integrate market-sourced remnants, breaking the cost boundaries of traditional processing. This innovative solution continues to inject sustained competitiveness into the company’s operations.
BOCHU's Sky Eye is paving the way for a new era of intelligent manufacturing, empowering Dainan Xingmai Machine Company and beyond!
