简体中文 Enterprise Panorama: From Dalian Bay to Global Smart Manufacturing Layout
Dalian Medela Industrial Automation Co., Ltd (stock code: 874489) is rooted in Pulandian Bay Industrial Zone in Dalian, Liaoning Province, and since its foundation in 2009, it has developed into aState-level high-tech enterprisestogether withLiaoning Gazelle Enterprises. The company has a registered capital of 56,123,300 RMB, more than 1,100 employees, of which the R&D team accounts for 20%, and its annual turnover exceeds 500 million RMB. Its business network covers East China (Suzhou subsidiary), South China (Shenzhen office), and is planning for European service bases, forming aGlobal delivery system.
Core technical capabilities are reflected in60 national patentswith 17 patents under trial, covering the whole chain from material development to system integration. The company's leading product, modular conveyor system, is realised through standardised component library72-hour rapid response design, shortening the 50% delivery cycle compared to traditional solutions.
Technology Breaking the Wall: The Precision Revolution of Maglev Conveyor Lines
Medela was approved in April 2025Patent for positioning structure of magnetic levitation conveyor line(patent number not disclosed), marking the entry of its technology into the era of nanoscale precision:
- Nanoscale positioning: Repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.01mm and speeds of up to 5m/s for highly sensitive scenarios such as semiconductor manufacturing;
- zero-touch transmission: No physical friction in the magnetic levitation stator drive tray, extending equipment life by 3001 TP3T and reducing maintenance costs by 601 TP3T;
- Hybrid ArchitectureFlexible combination of magnetic drive line and smart wheel/belt line, compatible with light load (20kg) and heavy load (1.5 tonnes).
personal insight: The essence of maglev technology isReplacing mechanical contact with physical fields--When magnetic field strength becomes a programmable variable, the conveyor system transforms from a "transmission tool" to a "spatial algorithmic actuator". This transformation transforms the hardware design into a data interface, enabling the conveyor line to respond in real time to dynamic optimisation commands at the production pace.

Industry Empowerment: Conveyor Innovation in New Energy and Automotive Manufacturing
▎ Full process coverage of new energy batteries
From core baking to PACK packaging, Medela's system is integrated.13 core processes::
- Soft pack battery: magnetic drive wire to avoid pole piece scratching, dust residue <5μm/m³;
- Solid state battery: Intelligent control wheel system precisely controls the temperature difference of liquid injection ±1℃.
▎Automotive Parts Flexible Conveying
for BorgWarner's motor stator production lineDynamic accumulation chain system::
- Engine delivery beat synchronisation error ≤ 0.5 seconds, supporting mixed-line production of 6 models;
- Workpiece pallet positioning accuracy of 0.02mm, reducing the robotic arm gripping scrap rate of 37%.
Controversy Insight: The current industry is mired inThe dichotomy of precision and load--Semiconductors need nanoscale positioning but the load is ≤20kg, mine conveyors need 300t/h but the accuracy is only centimetre level. Medela's breakthrough lies in "fractal load-bearing": a single pallet embedded with a magnetorheological fluid module, which adjusts the local rigidity in real time through the current intensity.
Intelligent Delivery: Agile Response Driven by Standardised Module Libraries

- base element layer: 2000+ standard parts library (rollers/stoppers/aluminium profiles), cost down 35%;
- modular assembly layer: Conveyor control components support hot-swap replacement and downtime is compressed to 2 hours;
- system integration layer: Ethercat communication protocol to achieve multi-device data integration, troubleshooting efficiency ↑200%.
Its knowledge base is precipitated from3000+ Business CasesFor example, through modular reorganisation of the pilot intelligent production line, the cycle time of conveyor system modification was shortened from 3 weeks to 5 days.

❓Medela Conveyor Line Core Three Questions
Q1: Why is the cost of a magnetic drive system higher than a conventional conveyor line?
Value Anchor Formula::
make a copy ofCombined benefit = (accuracy gain x life factor) / (energy cost² + maintenance frequency)
- Semiconductor workshop: precision improvement makes scrap rate ↓0.1%, annual saving >20 million;
- Automobile factory: 7×24h continuous operation, failure downtime cost to zero.
Q2: Does modularity diminish technical uniqueness?
The truth about ecological barriers::
- hardware layer: 80% standard parts guarantee compatibility, but 20% core modules (e.g., maglev stator) need to be patented independently;
- certification layerPharmaceutical conveyor systems require FDA approval and automotive lines require IATF 16949.
Q3: How can SMEs make low-risk technological changes?
Gradient penetration path::
- Primary programme: Lease Smart Wheel Module (monthly fee <30k), efficiency ↑40%;
- Advanced Programme: Magnetically driven wire + cloud maintenance (payback <14 months).
