KSTAR's Symphony of Sustainability: Orchestrating a Green Manufacturing Revolution
KSTAR News, 2024.3.19
KSTAR, as an industry pioneer with a remarkable legacy over 30 years, reaffirms its commitment to a green future. At the heart of its success lies a steadfast dedication to research and sustainability, with a focus on advancing the boundaries of power electronics and new energy solutions. Based in Shenzhen, China, the national-level Green Factory symbolizes KSTAR’s pursuit of eco-friendly practices, continuously refining manufacturing processes to embody the essence of green.
Beyond the previously mentioned green construction and material selection, another key strategy is to improve the whole production, fostering an environmentally friendly production mode over the long term.
Aligned with national policy measures, KSTAR embraces green development through the deployment of low-energy consumption and high-efficiency automation equipment, thereby increasing production capacity. Regular maintenance ensures the optimal actual operational efficiency, meeting stringent performance requirements.
In production design, KSTAR takes the entire life cycle of the product into account. Early-stage product design integrates market demands and customer needs such as product grades, indicators, and specifications, maximizing product applicability while adhering to environmental specifications.
During the production process, KSTAR champions digitized green production processes and manufacturing technologies. The workshop’s automated production, coupled with eco-friendly materials and recyclable transport containers, optimizes resource utilization. Meanwhile, KSTAR's proprietary power feedback system for machine testing and aging enhances efficiency by recovering and reusing regenerated power. This significantly reduces actual power consumption and achieves energy savings, emissions reduction, low-carbon electricity use, etc.
Additionally, KSTAR recycles and reuses warehouse materials. Scrap products are disassembled for useful materials, with specific items(such as old chassis)handed over to qualified suppliers for recycling. The overall material recycling and reuse rate surpasses an impressive 90%.
Supported by various advanced energy-saving technologies, KSTAR leverages information platforms such as ERP, MES, OMS, WMS, SRM, PLM, and OA to establish a "Reliable Quality, Controllable Process, Traceable Production" full-process quality management system based on barcodes. The system ensures full-element traceability of product quality throughout its lifecycle, propelling the company confidently along the path of energy management in the green factory.
KSTAR places paramount importance on a highly efficient manufacturing process, ensuring each product meets the highest standards of performance and durability. The company remains steadfast in its commitment, seamlessly integrating eco-friendly practices into every aspect of its operations. The comprehensive approach cements KSTAR's position as a pioneer in the new energy landscape.
Looking ahead, KSTAR will continue to explore the story of green products from its green factory and elucidate how these innovations positively impact people's lives. Stay engaged for further insights into KSTAR's ongoing journey towards an environmentally conscious future.
