Revolutionizing Qatar Battery Manufacturing. Dracon's Robotic Solutions for Streamlined Production

Revolutionizing Qatar Battery Manufacturing. Dracon's Robotic Solutions for Streamlined Production In the heart of the Middle East, Qatar's industrial powerhouse, Suhail Industries, is leading the charge toward innovation and excellence. With 15 state-of-the-art factories under its wing, the company has been a cornerstone of the region's industrial landscape. However, even giants face challenges. For Suhail Industries, the challenge lay within one of its battery manufacturing facilities—a critical bottleneck in their production line that resisted resolution despite the deployment of additional human labor. The bottleneck revolved around a physically demanding section of the assembly line. Batteries, each weighing up to 50 kilograms, needed to be stacked, loaded, unloaded, and palletized at a rapid pace. Despite employing more workers, the problem persisted. The physical strain on human operators was immense, leading to inefficiencies, slower production times, and concerns about workplace safety.

These robots would be programmed to handle the physical demands that previously taxed human operators, reducing the risk of injury and boosting production speed. Equipped with advanced sensors and AI algorithms, the robots could adapt to variations in battery size, weight, and placement, ensuring seamless integration into the existing workflow. ________________________________________ Transformational Outcomes The integration of Dracon’s robotic solutions into Suhail Industries' battery production line promises to revolutionize their operations. Key benefits include: • Increased Efficiency: By eliminating the bottleneck, production rates are expected to soar, meeting growing market demand. • Enhanced Worker Safety: Removing humans from high-strain tasks significantly reduces the risk of workplace injuries. • Cost Savings: While the upfront investment in robotics is substantial, the long-term savings in labor costs and increased output make it highly cost-effective. • Scalability: The modular nature of the robotic system allows for future expansion, aligning with Suhail's growth ambitions. ________________________________________ Pioneering the Future Suhail Industries' collaboration with Dracon International is more than a project—it's a paradigm shift in Middle Eastern manufacturing. By embracing cutting-edge automation, Suhail is positioning itself as a global leader in efficiency and innovation. With Timikara's expertise and Dracon's proven track record, the project exemplifies how technology can solve even the most entrenched industrial challenges. As Suhail Industries prepares to roll out these revolutionary changes across its 15 factories, the partnership with Dracon International serves as a beacon of what’s possible when visionary leadership meets advanced robotics. Together, they are not just solving problems—they are shaping the future of manufacturing in Qatar and beyond.

Dracon's Robotic Solutions for Global Manufacturing Excellence

Dracon's Robotic Solutions for Global Manufacturing Excellence In a rapidly advancing world, innovation is no longer a choice but a necessity. This is the story of how Dracon NZ Ltd, led by Timikara, was invited by Suhail Industries, one of the Middle East's industrial powerhouses, to revolutionize their production processes using state-of-the-art robotics. With 15 factories under their ownership, Suhail Industries identified bottlenecks in their steel plank welding bay as the first target for transformation. ________________________________________ The Challenge: Speed, Consistency, and Scalability Suhail Industries' human welders required 3 minutes and 30 seconds to complete a single weld—a figure that could not meet the growing demand. The goal was ambitious: enhance production speed while maintaining precision, consistency, and operational efficiency. Dracon proposed the introduction of robotic welding machines capable of completing the same weld in just 2 minutes and 15 seconds—a 36% reduction in time. These robots could operate 22 hours per day, requiring only 2 hours for maintenance. With emotionless consistency and unparalleled accuracy, they presented a clear solution to the problem. ________________________________________ From Vision to Action: Shanghai’s Robotics Lab After comprehensive discussions with Suhail's senior management, 11 sample steel planks were shipped to Dracon's robotics team in Shanghai. The plan was bold and precise: 1. Design and Production: Two robot arms with 1600mm reach and 10kg payload capacity were developed alongside two automated rotating tables for optimal production flow. 2. Quality Control and Testing: Every detail was scrutinized to ensure the machines met Suhail Industries' high standards for safety and accuracy. 3. Training Suhail’s Engineers: A senior engineer from Suhail Industries will undergo ten days of intensive training in Shanghai, preparing them to lead their own robotics team back in Qatar. This pilot program marks the beginning of Suhail Industries’ transition to fully automated manufacturing, setting a new standard for efficiency and innovation. ________________________________________ Expanding Horizons: Projects in the Pipeline The success of the robotic welding project has galvanized Suhail Industries to explore additional automation opportunities. Three key projects are now in motion: 1. Mold Casting Factory: Recognizing its financial significance, Suhail Industries has prioritized the development of automated solutions for complex cast iron molds. These molds are being prepared for airfreight to Dracon's robotics lab in Shanghai. 2. Battery Recycling and Manufacturing Factory: An initiative to integrate robotics into this eco-focused facility, enhancing sustainability and efficiency. 3. New Steel Plank Rollform Production Line: A cutting-edge line that complements the robotic welding bay, completing the full automation cycle for steel plank production. ________________________________________ Leadership and Faith: The Dracon Difference Timikara’s visit to Qatar included a four-day tour of Suhail Industries, meeting senior management and corporate leaders. The opportunity to lead this groundbreaking project, as Timikara humbly reflects, is a testament to faith, hard work, and service: "Even I am blown away by how this came to be. My only assumption is that my dedication to service—be it to God, my family, or our community—has been a powerful influence on Dracon's journey. It’s a fact, not a theory, that this is a gift, and we’re honored to share it." ________________________________________ The Future: A Global Transformation The pilot robotic welding project is not just about improving a single factory—it’s the cornerstone of a broader vision. Suhail Industries is poised to roll out robotics across its global operations, transforming not only the way they manufacture but also the way they think about industrial efficiency and innovation. As Dracon NZ Ltd continues to deliver value and excellence, the partnership with Suhail Industries is a shining example of how faith, innovation, and collaboration can shape the future of global manufacturing. Together, they are setting a new benchmark for what is possible. Seeking a robust China supply chain or a dedicated China procurement arm for your business?

5 TIPS SOURCE CHINA DIRECT CONSTRUCTION MANUFACTURING

5 TIPS SOURCE CHINA DIRECT CONSTRUCTION MANUFACTURING

5 TIPS SOURCE CHINA DIRECT CONSTRUCTION MANUFACTURING Dracon International NZ Ltd based, Guangzhou China. What to think about when Sourcing China 1. Spend time looking for the right supplier 2. Verify suppliers 3. Remember that quality is directly proportional to cost. 4. Be clear in communication 5. Quality control inspections See comments below for links • To full story • For FREE sample Comparative Report • Sign up to our Free Newsletter 1. Spend time looking for the right supplier Dracon NZ - China Sourcing Agent NZ Company based Guangzhou, China. A Google, Bing or Yahoo search is the default option for many people seeking to source products from China. You can also go to online sourcing platforms such as Alibaba, Global Sources and Made in China, which connect buyers to suppliers in China. Sourcing Allies - China Sourcing Agent die casting, custom metal stamping, injection moulding While all these resources are useful to draw up a shortlist, it is important to remember that many businesses thrown up by search engines and sourcing platforms may be resellers and not manufacturers. While sourcing from such middlemen may be ok if you are buying products to retail such as toys, clothes or cheap electronics, when you require products that must meet specific technical requirements such as die casts, metal stamping and plastic injection molding it is best to identify a manufacturer and source from them directly. Most importantly, this also reduces costs. Online sourcing platforms such as Alibaba and Global Sources, also rate their suppliers, which could help in the shortlisting process. Alibaba, for instance, gives its suppliers “gold” ratings, which purchasers see as a sign of trustworthiness. However, it is important to remember that any supplier who pays Alibaba an annual fee for premium membership can get gold supplier status, which increases the vendor’s visibility on the site. That is therefore not exactly a very trustworthy reliability indicator. 2.
