Servos Ready to Serve Thousands of Customers

Since the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the domestic industries have been undergoing earth-shaking changes, with every rise and fall bringing its own joys and sorrows. Amid this turbulent journey, the importance of manufacturing and automation has become increasingly prominent, and the specialized term "servo" has gained wider recognition precisely against this backdrop. Servo systems can be found everywhere, from mask making machines and automated production lines for lithium batteries and photovoltaic products to the semiconductor industry that boomed last year.

In fact, looking back at the development history of the servo industry, this unremarkable component plays an irreplaceable role in almost every industry around us: clothing (textile machinery and garment manufacturing device), food (food packaging and pharmaceutical packaging), housing (home decoration material production and electrical appliance manufacturing), and transportation (automotive manufacturing and power battery production). From small mobile phones to large aircrafts, servo systems deliver efficient, accurate, and uninterrupted services throughout their industrial chains, enabling the production of all kinds of daily necessities. Driven by strong and enormous market demands, the domestic servo industry has been thriving vigorously. Evolving from the early days dominated by imported European brands, followed by the aggressive expansion of Japanese servo products into the Chinese market, and then the sudden rise of domestic brands, the servo industry has gradually transitioned from a "market boom" phase to a mature stage characterized by huge market demand, abundant product options, and rationalized pricing.

Someone may ask: Why is SynMatic stepping into the servo industry since the industry has entered a mature stage with increasingly fierce competition? And more importantly, what strengths do we have to compete in this sector?

Let us address the question "what strengths do we have" first.

Thanks to our own technological accumulation and development roadmap, we actually have a solid foundation in platform technologies related to servo systems.

The first and foremost strength is our R&D capability for full-power-range motor drives—this is the core competence of SynMatic. Fundamentally, the underlying technology of servo systems still relies on vector control based on AC-DC-AC conversion. In this field, we have accumulated extensive experience and built a robust track record of successful product implementations.

The second strength is our accumulation of diverse control algorithms. Compared with other variable-frequency products, the standout features of servo systems lie in their stability, precision, and responsiveness. To fulfill all kinds of process-required movements with high-speed response and accurate positioning, our technological expertise is more than sufficient to support us in delivering industry-leading performance.

The last strength is our capability in industrial bus development and application. With the industry's evolution in recent years, the limitations of pulse-type servo systems have become increasingly prominent, as such systems come with inherent drawbacks in both control methods and fault risks. For this reason, bus-type servo systems are expanding their scope of application at a rapid pace—and our R&D and application capabilities in industrial bus technology are perfectly aligned with this industry trend.

Beyond these three solid foundational strengths, we also possess two distinct competitive advantages:

First, we possess automotive component-grade platform manufacturing capabilities. In an intensely competitive market landscape, quality has taken on heightened significance. Leveraging the powerful tool of the IATF 16949 automotive-grade quality management system, we can further elevate our product quality and carve out a competitive edge in this cutthroat market.

Second, we have accumulated profound expertise in industry-specific processes. Unlike pure manufacturers, we understand our customers better and are more committed to staying close to them. We work with customers to deeply explore industry demands, derive core product requirements from these needs, and deliver more sophisticated and human-centric solutions.

Finally, let us address the question "why are we entering the servo market". In a narrow sense, as an integral part of the lithium battery and new energy vehicle industries, we are closely tied to the implementation of their production processes. Servos are the key component in these processes and are widely used. We have garnered high expectations and strong support from our partners—and we have an inescapable responsibility to rise to the occasion. In a broader sense, greater capability entails greater responsibility. Since we have the ability to produce high-quality servo products, we should not remain mere bystanders in this industry. Our goal is not to become a so-called industry monopolist, but to do our utmost to provide more diverse, sophisticated, and cost-effective options for all servo-related industries. We aim to contribute our share to the advancement of downstream sectors, while earning our due rewards and respect.

Servos are ready to serve thousands of customers. As an emerging business segment of the company, our servo business carries countless dreams, expectations, and responsibilities. We will take this as our driving force to forge ahead and carve out a distinctive niche in the servo industry.
