Many valve manufacturers are seeking new possibilities, perhaps seeing new opportunities presented by this year's pandemic; they are no longer content with merely meeting the basic requirement of maintaining the normal flow of liquid media. How can valves enter the era of Industry 4.0?

As early as 2018, industrial valve manufacturers were navigating between fear and hope. Sales experienced comprehensive growth in early 2018, yet the international community remained volatile. How did we, as valve suppliers, respond?

Like other industries, the valve industry recognizes the opportunities and challenges presented by Industry 4.0. For companies in the valve industry, optimizing corporate structure and improving customer relationships is crucial. This is not only to cope with increasing price pressures but also to increase and compete for product added value.

The communication technology capabilities of industrial valves can now be a key to a company's management success or failure. From our long-term development, all products should 'talk' to each other within the network and environment of industrial production enterprises. A necessary prerequisite for comprehensive networking is the exchange of data independent of manufacturers and users.

The technology of many explosion-proof electric valves has not been updated. If enterprises want to launch new explosion-proof electric valves, they must have a communication plan to address the breakage of the explosion-proof disc. Usually, the wires responsible for sending signals from the explosion-proof disc are led out from the explosion-proof disc bracket, but this may lead to the problem of poor sealing of the explosion-proof valve. A PyC coating is applied to the surface of the explosion-proof disc, giving it good high-temperature resistance. This is specially designed for process industry enterprises involved in corrosive media during production, suitable for explosion-proof discs used in low working pressure and a temperature range of -180℃ ~1500℃.

Automation technology ensures that the fluid medium reaches its intended destination. Low-friction and long-life control valves have been developed for industrial valves in the medium and high power range for short-term, emergency, and routine operations. This valve can be used in demanding applications while performing maintenance-free quick opening and closing tasks.

In the context of Industry 4.0, valves are developing into electro-pneumatic technology-controlled automation systems. This allows for economical, rapid, and seamless equipment commissioning and monitoring, enabling timely implementation of wear-driven equipment management and maintenance, minimizing workflow and equipment downtime.
