The Internet is breaking through the PCB industry's environmental dilemma

Under the current economic situation, PCB companies can use Internet tools to get rid of the burden of environmental protection as soon as possible and move lightly on the road of transformation, so as to find greater opportunities to survive this long winter.

Entering November, the weather in southern China has gradually cooled down, and the coolness has overlapped again and again, unconsciously reminiscent of the Chinese economy that is under heavy downward pressure. Premier Li Keqiang reiterated on November 2 that "China's economy will maintain medium-to-high-speed growth in the next few years; structural reforms will be resolutely carried out." Naturally, it is not difficult to foresee that the economic situation and market environment will not improve significantly in the next few years.

It was also at this time that the PCB industry ushered in the Internet wave and "the strictest environmental protection law in history" at the same time. This is a crisis and an opportunity. On the one hand, various environmental protection policies and regulations have brought increasing pressure on PCB companies for pollution control and emission reduction. On the other hand, there is a crisis of survival and development brought about by the sluggish market demand and the country’s determination to “adjust structure and promote transformation”. In the life-and-death race, PCB companies should change their development thinking as soon as possible, grasp the Internet trend, make full use of Internet tools to "check and fill vacancies", discard the burden of environmental protection as soon as possible, and move lightly on the road of transformation and development.

The internet makes everything possible

The Internet today is both reasonable and unexpected. No one knows that the Internet will come so fast, like a tide, it will quietly penetrate into all aspects of our lives overnight-online payment, transportation, financial management, purchase transactions...Internet The source of magic is that it has the characteristics of low cost, openness, and connectivity. It breaks the information islands of traditional industries, reconstructs the supply chain pattern of the industry, changes the marketing and innovation models of enterprises, and also enables a large number of scattered resources to gather activities in The same thing becomes possible.

The Internet boom has also accelerated the development of China's e-commerce industry. The successful implementation of the "Internet + environmental protection" model has enabled the environmental protection industry to be separated from the traditional comprehensive e-commerce platform business, giving birth to professional environmental B2B e-commerce platforms such as the 65 environmental platform that was very hot this year, breaking environmental protection for the PCB industry Difficulties provide new Internet solutions.

At the same time, smart environmental protection and environmental informatization have also been rapidly developed. Among them, automatic monitoring of pollution sources, environmental information data centers, and green electronic procurement are gradually being applied to the actual production and operation fields.

Environmental protection problems faced by PCB companies

Before talking about the method of breaking the game, let's talk about the environmental protection dilemma faced by the PCB industry.

Despite all the efforts, the environmental protection road of the PCB industry has not gone smoothly. In summary, the challenges of green production by PCB companies mainly come from three aspects: one is the policies and regulations of the environmental protection department, such as copper in wastewater, COD, water consumption per unit PCB, waste management, etc.; the second is from customer requirements, such as compliance RoHS directive, halogen-free products, PFOS directive, etc.; the third is cost control in the implementation of environmental protection.

At present, the ecological industry is a global development trend, and it is difficult for products that do not meet environmental standards to gain a foothold in the international market. Facing the pressure brought by international and domestic environmental protection forms, the Chinese government has successively promulgated a series of policy management regulations, which has brought considerable environmental pressure to the PCB industry. In the future, according to the forecast of the China Printed Circuit Industry Association, it will become difficult to expand the production capacity of PCBs, and more PCB companies will face greater "green challenges."

The cost pressure that PCB companies endure in the implementation of environmental protection is the real behind-the-scenes problem that brings environmental protection problems to enterprises. For manufacturing such as PCB, the cost of pollutant treatment accounts for a considerable proportion of the production cost, and the heavy environmental protection cost has compressed the profit margin of the enterprise. Investigate the reasons. First, it is affected by the chaos of the environmental protection supply market; second, the traditional procurement and transaction methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and are easily restricted by multiple factors, and cannot adapt to the current fast-paced and high-efficiency market needs.

In addition, the reason why PCB companies give the outside world and government management departments the image of a "polluting company" has a lot to do with not being good at propaganda.

Leverage the Internet to break the environmental dilemma

In the Internet age, the PCB industry must start from three aspects to solve environmental problems.

First, take advantage of the golden development period of e-commerce. The emergence of similar 65 environmental platforms has accelerated the process of e-commerce in the environmental protection industry, not only successfully realizing the online operation of environmental protection products and services procurement transactions, inquiries, bidding and other links, but also providing logistics services for both buyers and suppliers, Financial services, market policies, marketing promotion and other one-stop environmental protection solutions. At present, the 65 environmental platform has reached strategic cooperation with many environmental protection associations and listed environmental protection companies, and it is hoped that it will bring more advanced changes in the field of environmental protection;

Second, grasp the trend of environmental protection informatization. With the development of Internet technology and remote sensing technology, it has become a reality to use big data to monitor and monitor enterprise pollution and governance results. The "Foshan City "Internet +" Environmental Protection Work Plan" proposes to build a three-dimensional environmental management system on the basis of the original environmental information system. At present, such monitoring services have been successfully commercialized in the market;

Third, strengthen product innovation in energy conservation and emission reduction. PCB companies should embrace the Internet with a positive attitude, attach importance to the application of new information technologies such as "big data", "Internet +", and "cloud computing", and realize automated monitoring, intelligent supply chain management, and lean quality management in daily production. Application in business. In addition to the Internet, in order to consolidate the results of environmental protection implementation and ensure that the future PCB industry smoothly embarks on a resource-saving and environment-friendly sustainable development path, the PCB industry needs to do the following three points.

One is to establish a standardized environmental management system. Without scientific and reasonable institutional guarantees and a strong executive department, even the best monitoring hardware and environmental protection projects can only be reduced to furnishings.

The second is to entrust the operation and management of environmental protection engineering treatment facilities to a third party. Let professionals do professional things, taking into account efficiency and safety.

The third is to attach importance to environmental protection policies and regulations. Early understanding of relevant national policies and regulations and early measures to avoid risks are necessary qualities for a modern enterprise to seek long-term development.

I only see Yueming after keeping the clouds open

Under the new normal economic development trend, the use of Internet tools to promote lean production, improve resource utilization, and achieve ecological advantages is an important way for PCB manufacturing companies to enhance their core competitiveness and market success. The advent of the Internet not only adds a touch of color to the current economic situation, but also enables the PCB industry to meet the rigid indicators of environmental protection more efficiently, quickly and economically, and reduce business operating costs. At the same time, the PCB industry has lifted the burden of environmental protection and can devote more attention to the new and new things of Industry 4.0, industry-university-research, and the Internet of Things brought about by the Internet. With the help of Internet thinking and technology, it can transform and upgrade, and pass the cold winter smoothly., When the economy picks up, seek more room for development.
