Mr. Hamid, Procurement Director of a leading Iranian industrial equipment buyer, visited UBright Solutions’ partner Shandong Hongjie Automation to inspect the excavator bucket/grapple tooth production line, focusing on capacity, quality control, customization, and delivery readiness. Both sides held pragmatic talks to map out concrete steps for Middle East cooperation.
End-to-End Review Validates Smart Manufacturing
Full line walkthrough: raw sorting, automated welding, high-precision heat treatment, final inspection across the composite process of induction furnace + roll forging + press + robots.
Key metrics: automation rate >80%; heat-treatment temperature control ±2°C, ensuring wear resistance and consistency for harsh mining/port environments.
On-site quick checks: tooth profile accuracy, hardness distribution, and metallography sampling to demonstrate batch consistency and traceability.
Fit-for-Purpose Customization for Real Conditions
Addressed common Iranian models’ dimensions, interface standards, and fit tolerances; pulled historical orders and duty-cycle data to show wear/corrosion packages for dusty, high-impact, and marine environments in the Middle East.
Clarified tooling changeover time, lead time, spares and consumables lists, and proposed OEE improvements via process and fixturing optimization.
Quality & Delivery Assurance
QC system: incoming/process/final inspection, SPC on critical dimensions, recorded heat-treatment curves, hardness/impact/metallography retains traceable for 12 months.
Delivery: planned monthly and peak capacity, phased shipments, export-grade anti-rust packaging suited for long-sea transport.
Support: remote technical assistance, optional on-site commissioning, multilingual manuals/video SOPs, and feasibility of positioning a regional spare-parts buffer in the Middle East.
Commercial Milestones
Agreement-in-principle: complete first sample tests (dimension, performance, life) before September while advancing commercial terms in parallel.
Target: secure the first Middle East order within the year and ramp to volume with iterative cost/quality optimization.
Governance: quarterly technical reviews and an annual joint improvement plan focusing on cost-down, efficiency, and durability gains.
Belt & Road Momentum, Win-Win in the Middle East
The visit strengthened confidence in the smart manufacturing capabilities of UBright Solutions and Shandong Hongjie and marks further progress in Belt and Road market expansion. Both parties will couple market insight with manufacturing strength to deliver high-quality, traceable, and fast-response bucket teeth for Middle East customers.
