In today’s intelligent industrial world, quality has transcended the physical properties of products to become a crucial cornerstone of a company’s core competitiveness, the health of the industry ecosystem, and even national industrial security. As a national “Little Giant” enterprise designated as a specialized, specialized, and innovative enterprise and a Henan Province quality benchmark enterprise, Chicheng Electric understands this fundamental principle. Its quality-focused strategic approach has not only established a quality management system covering the entire lifecycle, but also set a new benchmark for quality control in the industry through multi-dimensional practices involving lean, digital, and intelligent processes.
At Chicheng Electric, quality control begins not with the first production process, but rather with a design embedded in the R&D process. The lean R&D system implemented by Chicheng Electric focuses on optimizing product development processes, improving review and design quality, managing requirements and progress, and enhancing design standardization. This system prioritizes quality risk identification as early as the concept stage.
Chicheng Electric has over 100 technicians who comprehensively test instrumentation, including hardware, software, functional, power, and signal testing, as well as key component characteristics, environmental testing, and new product testing, to comprehensively enhance product quality. Faced with cold testing equipment day and night, Chicheng Electric’s test engineers diligently conduct system testing, experimenting with hundreds of application scenarios and analyzing billions of data points to ensure product quality. From aging tests, high and low temperature tests, salt spray tests, explosion-proof tests, drop tests, and acoustic tests, every testing process is rigorous and standardized.
This “preventive measures are better than corrective measures” philosophy is also reflected in the collaborative mechanism between R&D and the market. Chicheng Electric captures real-time data on industry policies, application scenarios, and user feedback, providing the R&D team with precise “quality improvement guidelines,” fostering a virtuous cycle of quality improvement and technological innovation.
In production, Chicheng Electric uses its PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) system as its core, streamlining the entire data chain from design drawings to final delivery. Through deep integration with MES and ERP, each piece of equipment’s production parameters, test results, and logistics trajectory are traceable, enabling precise identification of quality responsibilities. This digital control extends to the entire supply chain.
At its two major production bases in Zhengzhou and Xuchang, eight intelligent production lines operate in tandem with Siemens SMT automated placement equipment, automating the entire process from loading to printing to AOI inspection, capable of completing 60,000 to 80,000 solder joints per hour. The production line for intelligent household combustible gas detectors completes one standardized product every six seconds, increasing production efficiency by 67%. Furthermore, Chicheng Electric has systematically established over 2,000 process steps and over 160 process control points based on product characteristics, creating a solid quality firewall for product quality control and preventing and eliminating quality risks within the factory.
In the field of gas detection, high temperatures, high humidity, and the gnawing effects of corrosive gases act like invisible blades, constantly threatening the stability and reliability of equipment. Facing these extreme challenges, Chicheng Electric employs an almost obsessive quality control philosophy to build a comprehensive quality defense system throughout the entire supply chain. Chicheng Electric’s quality control personnel have established hundreds of rules to standardize the production requirements for every instrument. From incoming material inspection, process inspection, semi-finished product inspection, finished product inspection, incoming warehouse inspection, and final delivery inspection, they rigorously control every step to avoid all defects and flaws, striving for perfection in every instrument.
By analyzing process indicators and optimizing production processes, Chicheng Electric continuously reduces waste and errors in production, continuously improving production capacity and product competitiveness. For substandard products, Chicheng Electric adopts a strategy of tracing the source, improving, and achieving breakthroughs. If an instrument fails at any quality inspection stage, quality control will pay close attention, conducting repeated tests to trace the root cause. They will also convene meetings across production and R&D departments to identify the key issues and seek proactive and reliable solutions. Through strict quality control management, Chicheng Electric ensures product consistency and stability, increases customer satisfaction, and thus enhances the company’s core competitiveness.
In the gas detection industry, quality is not only the lifeblood of the product but also the core asset that enables a company to navigate technological iteration cycles and earn the long-term trust of its customers. By establishing a quality management system led by a Chief Quality Officer, encompassing the entire process and embracing multi-dimensional upgrades, Chicheng Electric has elevated quality management from the technical execution level to the strategic decision-making level, driving a three-level leap in product quality from “conformity quality” to “customer-driven quality” and finally to “performance excellence quality.”
This rigorous quality system has earned Chicheng Electric both a “passport” to international markets and a “bonus ticket” from domestic policies. As of the end of June 2025, Chicheng Electric holds 106 valid patents (including 37 invention patents) and 158 software copyrights. The company or its subsidiaries have spearheaded or participated in the development of over 10 industry standards, and holds over 300 valid domestic and international product certifications, including national type approvals for measuring instruments, mining product safety mark certificates, explosion-proof certificates, fire protection product certifications, CCC compulsory certification, EU CE certification, ATEX certification, and scientific and technological achievement or monitoring report certifications.
Chicheng Electric’s quality management system consistently benchmarks against international standards. The company has not only taken the lead in achieving ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications, but has also been awarded numerous honors, including “Henan Province Quality Benchmark Enterprise,” “2020 Quality-Oriented and Trustworthy Enterprise,” and “Zhengzhou City’s 2023 ‘Specialized, Advanced, and Innovative’ Enterprise Quality Diagnosis Brand Cultivation Pilot.” From the efficient operation of intelligent production lines to reliable performance in extreme environments; from internationally certified technological breakthroughs to a customer-first service philosophy, Chicheng Electric is writing a brilliant chapter in its “Quality-Driven Enterprise” story with quality as its guiding principle. Going forward, Chicheng Electric will continue to promote and implement quality initiatives, dedicating itself to fulfilling the trust entrusted to it.
