Analysis of Six Major Aspects of New Development of China's Furniture Hardware Industry

1. Cooperative development of new products

With the development of society, domestic and foreign customers have put forward higher requirements for furniture products, and the styles and requirements put forward by customers are likely to have no matching furniture hardware. In order to meet the requirements of customers, it is necessary for the furniture hardware companies to cooperate in the development of new furniture products. Furniture manufacturers and furniture hardware manufacturers work together to make full use of the advantages of design, technology and equipment of both parties to form a new format. The simultaneous design, simultaneous manufacturing and joint debugging of furniture hardware and new furniture make the most popular social resources. Good configuration.

Modern information technology also provides a platform for information exchange and technical coordination for the joint development of new furniture hardware products. Modern digital technology also provides technical support for fast and accurate manufacturing. Cooperative development not only meets the special needs of the furniture company, but also increases the product variety and improves the product quality for the furniture hardware company, so that the furniture company and the furniture hardware company win. In the current social context, the cooperation between furniture manufacturers and furniture manufacturers is particularly important. Through cooperative development, the mutual cooperation between design and development personnel of both parties becomes a kind of alliance, and complementing the gap can face the market with stronger advantages. .

2, the integration of appearance and function

Furniture hardware is divided into two categories: decorative hardware and functional hardware. Many furniture hardware manufacturers invisibly separate the two, decorative hardware does not pay attention to functional development, functional hardware has insufficient research on its decorative development, and there is a disconnect between the two. Taking the accessories of Tuen Mun as an example, the functions and structures have been continuously improved and improved over the years, but they do not pay attention to the uniformity of their decoration. Many products, although very useful, do not seem pleasing to the eye. In recent years, with the improvement of the level of innovative design, many designers are paying attention to furniture hardware, and examining the furniture hardware with the concept of industrial design, so that the appearance and function of furniture hardware are better integrated is the development trend of furniture hardware. .

3, humanized design

The improvement of the quality of life and the quality of every detail in life will also attract attention. Furniture hardware best reflects the quality of life details. Opening and closing of the cabinet door, opening and closing of the drawer... Excellent furniture hardware can embody the human-oriented humanity principle in these daily actions. The humanized concept of safety, labor saving, silentness and comfort will be further integrated into the development and design of furniture hardware. This is also an inevitable requirement of social development.

4. The use of high technology

For many years, furniture hardware has not received enough attention as a supporting role in the furniture industry. As a result, the functionality of our furniture hardware is still far from the foreign products. How to improve versatility, interchangeability, advocate people-oriented, pay attention to safety, convenience, environmental protection, fast, make products perfect and so on, we also need to constantly strive to develop and enterprising. Analysis of foreign products, we can find new furniture, new technology, new materials in foreign furniture hardware. To improve the level of China's furniture hardware, only accelerate the use of high-tech in the industry. At present, universities in China have listed furniture hardware as a research topic focusing on the development of functions and appearance. With the rapid development of the furniture industry and huge market demand, the use of high-tech furniture hardware will continue to come out. We hope and believe that in the near future, China's furniture hardware manufacturers can provide hardware manufacturers with lower price, better effect and more convenient installation, which can improve efficiency and reduce costs for furniture manufacturers.

5. Innovation in business model

With the development of China's industrial technology, furniture production has evolved from the previous hand workshop to the current mechanized mass production. Hardware accessories have higher requirements for versatility, interchangeability, functionality and decoration. The variety of substrates, the structural reforms and the increased use of furniture, the role of furniture hardware in furniture is no longer just the connection of decorative and some moving parts, its functionality is getting stronger and stronger, and the fields involved are becoming wider and wider. . Luo Baihui believes that for furniture manufacturers, it is particularly important to improve production efficiency, reduce costs, improve product quality, and enhance the competitiveness of domestic and foreign markets.

Transforming from ordinary goods to customized products, closer to customers, creating value-added products and services

In the furniture hardware industry, many furniture hardware manufacturers lack contact with end customers, and rely too much on retailers to obtain information on customer needs and expectations. Furniture hardware manufacturing must learn how to approach end customers, how to provide products for them, and ensure that they make a profit. This requires better marketing capabilities, better sales networks, lean manufacturing and flexible manufacturing capabilities, immediate supply chain operations, supply chain management, innovative thinking and leadership, better education and training for employees, etc. In short, it is a new business model.

From a manufacturing perspective, factories must be as automated as possible to maximize productivity and increase labor productivity. Therefore, it is possible to adopt new technologies and leanmanufacturing to reduce costs. At the same time, it is necessary to increase investment in the education and training of workers, the development of new products and research, so as to cultivate workers with special skills and create Premium products, sell for a good price. If we continue to produce products in the general merchandise category and provide low-level services, then we will continue to lose market and give way to areas where labor is more abundant and cheaper.

6. Establish relevant advantage centers or gather competitive advantages

According to Mike Porter's definition in "Competition", agglomeration refers to a group of geographically close and interconnected companies with synergistic institutions in specific areas, linked through common interests and complementarities, and developed through supply chains. Strategic partners, all aspects of the entire supply chain work together, making the most effective integration of resources.

With the prosperity of the furniture industry, the furniture hardware industry will also enter a more perfect new field, develop new high-tech products to meet people's material needs and enjoyment of high-quality life.
