Xi'an, the thousand-year-old capital, not only has a deep historical heritage, but has now also become an important base for Konka Group's intelligent manufacturing.

At the beginning of the new year, Konka Group released the video promotional video “Konka Smart Production Line in Chang'an City”, adding a touch of modern technology to this thousand-year-old capital.

In the video promotional video, the automated liner riveting line shows highly automated intelligent production capabilities, while the precision injection molding production center highlights advanced production equipment and technology. These innovative technologies and the improvement in the level of intelligent manufacturing not only greatly improved production efficiency, but also gave Konka's products excellent quality in intelligent manufacturing.

On December 19, 2023, the Konka dishwasher was put into operation and the first phase completion ceremony of Xi'an Kangjia Silk Road Science and Technology City was held at the Shaanxi Kangjia Smart Home Appliance Industrial Park. According to reports, the industrial park only took 8 months from the start of construction in February 2022 to the official completion and commissioning in November. The short construction cycle is rare in the industry.

The historical heritage of the thousand-year-old capital blends with the “speed of Kangjia” to form a new picture of modern industrial development. With its strong strength and advanced intelligent manufacturing technology, Konka Group is turning this ancient land into a new highland to promote the development of the white electric kitchen appliance sector in China.

Empowering digital intelligence to light up a new engine for high-quality development

As the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, Xi'an has carried thousands of years of commerce and civilization. Today, in the context of the Belt and Road, the inland city of Xi'an is also actively emerging as an important window for China's foreign trade.

As of December 15, 2023, the China-Europe Express (Changan) has operated 5,139 trains this year, an increase of 15.6% over the previous year. The number of “+ Western Europe” assembly routes reached 22, and Xi'an International Port is being fully integrated into the global port and shipping system.

Along with the rise of Xi'an as an international logistics hub connecting East and West, Konka Group, with Xi'an as the center, landed in the Shaanxi Konka Smart Home Appliance Industrial Park and promoted its products to overseas markets through unobstructed international channels such as the China-Europe Express Changan.

Today, this thousand-year-old capital has also become a strategic center for the expansion of China's white electric kitchen appliance industry.

At the same time, Konka Group has also found a new definition of intelligent manufacturing in this historic city. The intelligent manufacturing production line launched by Konka Group is like a modern “digital silk road”, rewriting the industrial map of the thousand-year-old capital.

As the core project of Konka Group's consumer electronics business nationwide, Konka Group focuses on dishwashers as one of the development categories, introducing the world's most advanced Italian QS dishwasher liner line equipment to achieve the industrial 4.0 intelligent manufacturing level and basic hardware advantages in production lines. It also forms a high technical barrier and threshold for Konka dishwashers in market competition.

In the future, as the Belt and Road Initiative continues to advance, Xi'an will continue to play a role as a bridge connecting East and West. As a key participant in the Belt and Road, Konka Group will continue to lead industrial development, empower high-end intelligent manufacturing, help make Chinese manufacturing go global, and drive the economic development of the western region.

Relying on intelligent manufacturing strength, Konka helps the global kitchen appliance market ignite passion

Currently, in the wave where the smart kitchen appliance market at home and abroad continues to heat up, Konka Group has become a market leader with its strong intelligent manufacturing advantages, demonstrating huge potential for market development.

With the gradual increase in people's demand for smart homes, the smart kitchen appliance market has become an outlet for the home appliance industry. With its unique advantages in the field of intelligent manufacturing, Konka Group actively participated in this market competition, which not only promoted its own development, but also brought innovative smart kitchen appliances to global consumers.

According to a report published by Grand View Research, the global smart kitchen appliance market is expected to reach US$39.9 billion by 2027. Furthermore, looking at the domestic dishwasher market alone, the penetration rate of dishwashers in European and American countries has reached 70%, but the penetration rate of Chinese households is only 3%, so the domestic market has broad prospects.

“The global market for dishwashers is 30 million units a year. China is the third-largest exporter, with an annual export volume of around 7 million units. We value this market. In terms of the domestic market, although the current penetration rate of dishwashers is not high, the annual increase is 15% to 20%, and in some years it is even higher, and the market potential is huge.” Chen Zhao, general manager of Shaanxi Kangjia Smart Home Appliance Co., Ltd., said.

In the context of the booming smart kitchen appliance market, Konka Group continues to introduce new products, introduce advanced technology and innovative design, enhance product performance and quality, and shape a unique brand image and product competition barriers in the market.

Take Konka dishwashers as an example. They meet the needs of today's young people for household cleaning and health, and pursue the goals of cleaner, more sterile, and more convenient product technology. At the recent commissioning ceremony, Konka unveiled a new dishwasher. The product uses next-generation turbopropellers, variable frequency pressurization technology, and high-intensity three-dimensional washing, which can achieve rapid cleaning in 19 minutes. At the same time, it also added powerful sterilization and disinfection functions, combined with a dual-engine circulation convection drying system to ensure clean, dry, and odorless storage of tableware.

In terms of product design, Konka dishwashers also present a more diverse exterior design, which is both individual and practical. Small countertop dishwashers, dishwashers with built-in sinks or cabinets, dual-use dishwashers that can be placed independently or embedded in a cabinet, etc., these diverse and integrated dishwashers can flexibly meet the needs of different scenarios. In addition to this, related products have also added various functions such as large-capacity storage, intelligent layered washing, and dual-engine drying, making them more comprehensive and practical.

At this stage, Konka dishwashers are mainly exported to overseas markets such as Europe. However, according to Konka Group, it is continuously designing products that are more suitable for Chinese room types, stove height, and Chinese cooking habits, and plans to launch domestic dishwashers one after another this year.

With its two-way strength in domestic and overseas markets, Konka Group has not only continuously consolidated its brand influence around the world, but also broadly spread and covered diverse markets. This lays a solid foundation for the global expansion of products such as Konka dishwashers. I believe Konka Group will continue to deeply cultivate domestic and foreign markets in the future, and is committed to promoting the innovation and development of smart kitchen appliances and other products to bring a smarter and more efficient living experience to global consumers.
