Bright white shell, with a streamlined body, will make people think it is flying in the sky of attitude.
In this small shop online water 6 village industrial zone, the top floor of the building, 10 or so workers ' hands, but without tension Assembly. Flight control, motor, ESC, Haeundae, tripod, wire ... ... Over more than 30 components, an hour of effort, there will be a dozen drone was born.
In the "main character" little fly is one of the drones, it got acquainted with the guys after, will begin a long journey.
These UAVs will cross oceans, after more than three weeks at sea, transport and clearance for a week, all the way to the other side of the globe, including visiting the Pacific East coast of the United States, to find a new owner.
After the rise of manufacturing in China, like drones, a variety of high-tech products like cell phone also began to enter the homes of ordinary people of all countries. Xinjiang different stars in the industry and the company, flying in Shenzhen, China and locally are unknown, but it has already entered the foreign market for four years.
1. grass-roots business: met fair Jue is closed
Little fly, "born in" North of Shenzhen, Yu in the longhua industrial zone, building A3. From the Central District, Shenzhen and Shekou, Yantian port, 1 hour's drive, and close proximity to Metro and high speed, accumulated manufacturing base of 90 's of the last century are still abundant, electronics manufacturing plants around stars, and complete industry chain.
Everyone thought "white Phu," Science and technology enterprises, flying 6 "home" some shabby: a drawing room, two offices, a workshop-style factory. Its owner, General Manager of creative technology Song Baisen, entrepreneurial boy is a northeast to Shenzhen, in addition to go out and run the business, but also with colleagues doing research and development.
Creative fly growth story is the story of a grass-roots entrepreneurship.
5 years ago, Song Baisen resigned together with two guys. Three people in the field of architecture, software and flight testing has its advantages, together holding more than 300,000 yuan savings, set up the company started, few people in 30 square meters less than the Office, hungry, eating instant noodles.
Civil UAV industry has only just started in China at that time, companies in the industry are numbered, a lot of people haven't seen this market, and why did they start to select a drone?
Song Baisen is about market prospects. Early UAV's are mainly aerial enthusiasts, a small circle, but afford, aerial needs before using the delta wing, powered parachute, or fly, danger, trouble, the drone appears, meets the needs of upscale aerial user groups.
And the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry in Shenzhen is looking for new sources of profit growth. Explosive development of the Smartphone industry, drove the body structure design, body material technology, flight control technology, wireless remote control, wireless image return technology matured, related accessories costs continue to drop. A 300-yuan chips abroad in Shenzhen 50-70 will get the goods.
Because of market demand, technical conditions, several forward-thinking young people began the development of flight control, machine a year later, launched its first self-developed UAV.
Like a lot of entrepreneurial team in Shenzhen, ideas fly begun there money, manpower, poor markets, few entrepreneurs will run with the sample exhibition. Corporate accounts more than once but more than 30,000 yuan, but caught up with Shenzhen high-tech fair, a boss has bought more than 200,000 yuan, Hua Qiang bei, team Jue every student, "you can toss this out."
Exhibition for unmanned high costs, Hong Kong's exhibition to more than 100,000 yuan, 50,000-60,000 yuan in Shenzhen, Beijing and Shanghai to be 70,000-80,000 yuan. Began to exhibit in the field, few people want to fly, can only take the train, it will be good time towards the night sleeping on the train, to participating directly in the morning starts, so you can save more than 2000 Yuan of accommodation.
At the show, Song Baisen and partners know a group specializing in unmanned aerial vehicle sales of foreign customers, United States California James is one fly to to place James agent area.
2. project: a product development would take 2 million
Unmanned aerial vehicles into the Chinese people's life is that two or three years, and as a drone, flying from your project to the factory, you will need to 6-8 months.
Strictly speaking, flying a creative company's third product, now, it is also the second generation in the industry is classic, MARS-350, consumer aerial drones, are mainly exported to the United States, and Russia, and Italy, and Spain, and Norway, and Finland and other countries, thousands of monthly sales.
As well as many enterprises in Shenzhen, the emphasis on research and development of compact technology company has been quietly developing, and now only 20 or so employees, including 5 research and development, assembled gets people producing online, the company's biggest investment spending on investment in research and development, a product it will take at least 2 million Yuan.
Companies generally do not make inventory, because of high value, usually orders before production. In order to meet the 2015 Christmas, California agent James on the next new product. Soon after the company received a single project, started producing elements, coefficient sets, ID design, sample, board games, Simulator tests, mold manufacturing, custom parts, production, Assembly, indoor and outdoor the depth test.
In order to ensure flight safety, fly flight parameters of real authentication requires a 1 month, mold it will take two or three months, changed the details changed, guaranteed to be foolproof.
Design drawings to its familiar mould factory, mold factory-like building, taking into account the cost and move on to other factories to purchase.
You know, fly flight tests are very specialized, thick in the Diego table, every detail of the test has more than 20 items.
Trouble is going to an outdoor test flying, using large trailers pulled into the countryside, want to test each machine 5-10 minutes, contains more than 20 properties, such as Visual sensor positioning, an acoustic sensor positioning, GPS star search speed, flight, and out of control testing, real-time HD image transfer, flight data recording.
From the left although there is still one week to deadline, creative fly 5 flying hands and 5 quality inspectors have been as busy as a bee.
And past as, each batch goods aboard Qian are to after strictly of flight and detection, a cart a cart of no machine has shipped to flight field, aircraft row into 50 Taiwan a column, amounted to 20 column, but day only detection 1000 Taiwan, this batch goods need detection 5 days, just caught up with winter in of big Sun, fly hand and quality member in several put shade umbrella Xia a again over flight, and records.
"Hot weather, or Jerry, you need to deliver most stable quality. "Quality engineer Yap told Fei Wang.
Close set sail two days ago, all carefully packaged goods, customs brokers, in the process, agency staff of the shipping company DHL in China have fought on both sides of the phone verification of delivery time. Customers paid, shipment, forwarding to pick up.
3. across the sea: accompany autistic boys grow together
Finally to set sail that day.
At 2 o'clock in the morning on the day, the entire industrial zone, others sleep in, and the company's workers are busy loading up the trailer. At 5 o'clock, auto start; 6:40, the bus had already reached the port of Yantian port in line. Is one of China's most vibrant port of Yantian port, breakthrough million TEU for five consecutive years and hit a record high. After nearly 20 years of development, the Yantian port has grown into the world's busiest container port, opening of recently created to record for the shortest time to achieve throughput of 100 million TEU.
Merchandiser has been nervously on the phone and cried: "no, you have to help me get more of the time, we are a warehouse line terminal warehouse line was too much. ”
Just put down the phone, tow-truck driver's phone call: "wait one more day, I still want to add money, delay compensation......"
Customs Broker running up and down, and did not know how many times, but also comfort drivers not to worry. Each declaration is to go through the waiting process, not the low efficiency of customs, China's export of goods too much, it can also be seen how popular Chinese manufactured in foreign countries. Customs in fear all morning, 2:30 P.M., everything is finally running at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, two 20-foot containers at last in the ship. Cargo ship after the whistle, and began to leave, Merchandiser to give anxious customers to make a phone call in a foreign country "are safe".
Peter lying in the sea for three weeks, arrived in the port in California, after entry, started clearing, signature, stamp, signature ... ... Finally reached the customer James interim positions.
James looks calm, but some worry this time because the drive to get everything ready before Christmas, first to other area warehouse freight forwarding, you also need to do quality testing of various branches across the country, "I want my guests to take the plane to go back and feel like I sold him NO1".
So James needs unpacking inspection, packing, although the process is complex, will take time, but I still need to do, Peter knows that this has done is guarantee of quality.
After many setbacks, Peter and his friends began to disperse to reach across the warehouse, after preheating and propaganda markets, waiting for the pre-Christmas sale.
California urban areas Ms Lisa had bought his son a creativity fly drones, did not think it would affect his life. She called the son of David, the doctor said the child is a little autistic tendencies, suggested that she find someone to play with kids, into the social circle, however, Lisa found that David was interested in children's place is not interested.
Lisa takes David to farms in the country. In California, many farmers are using unmanned aerial vehicles to take care of and visits to farms. California is the United States agriculture's most developed State, agricultural and State-wide 30%.
See drones flying in the sky, little David is standing still. Little David was not afraid of strangers, running about on a farm, the son of farmers, played with the drones.
Farmers bought three creative companies in Shenzhen drones, one for kids, two to visit farms. Farmers tell Lisa drones fly stable, sensitive airborne PTZ control system, hang in the sky you can adjust the angle to facilitate visits farms. It can also set the waypoint flight pattern, set flight routes, pesticides can be sprayed on the hanging. Farmers also introduced to Lisa,Lisa in California James agent bought a smaller wheelbase drones, plus a shield, was happy to play by David.
3 years have passed, and now David had grown to 14 years old, has not met a small plane, he was replaced with a larger UAV, and there have been many unmanned aerial vehicle enthusiasts and friends.
4. future market: "drone +" write great stories
After Peter left, its domestic "home" in the story is not over.
After seeing off a group of drones, Song Baisen in his old Office, 6/f, again, with business partner thinking about what the future layout.
On the just-concluded in Shenzhen high-tech fair, unmanned aerial vehicle belonging to one of the most popular industry, the Organizing Committee for this purpose in Longgang big centres of drones was held in the football stadium venue, however, and 5 years, unless already open, innovative enterprise in the field of UAVs are increasingly vulnerable.
So-called thin fields tilled, once finished. When the drones in flight control, Yun Tai and other core technologies being settled, this two-year blowout in the UAV market. From 100 less than four years ago, now has more than 500 enterprises. Product homogeneity is obvious, the industry, of which 70% are imitated products of Xinjiang.
In the Song Baisen, that year only 30,000 yuan fine, is the most difficult last year, emerged capital background of strong competitors, they introduce a comparable product, will buy low price into the market, destroyed the early entrepreneurs using technology innovation to create value and ecological. Flight control costs about 200 Yuan before can sell more than 1000 Yuan, now only more than 300 yuan. Because upfront development costs than larger shipments of low Pocket company suddenly pulled into the mud.
Huaqiang North is a barometer of the market, just as BP machine, DVD, mobile, functional machine, intelligent machines, 35 through the rise and fall of ups and downs.
"In contrast, we have a relatively large impact. "Song Baisen said. Although the small company is now launching one or two new products a year, but production is greatly reduced.
Nanfang daily media interviewed several insiders, UAV market more and more focus on market segmentation, Song Baisen small companies will also focus from research to market changes, underlining the refining market positioning of customizable products, by contrast, custom made products more profitable. At an investors Forum on high-tech fair, Song Baisen showing the audience a black three drones, the drones can lurk the surface, then by a remote-controlled flying into the air, complete instructions.
Another direction may be the drone of a number of important accessories be developed into products, the industry used a term "drone +" to summarize. The core technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicles used to head, now armed with pan-tilt can be guaranteed in sports photography, video footage is clear and no jitter, this new camera tool for young people.
How to write the story of the new flying, believe in the future there are more exciting sequel.
