Winding Light, Forging Hearts with Women's Strength

Introduction

In the brightly lit clean workshop, countless copper wires and coils are wound, shaped, and precisely embedded by skilled hands — like building the beating heart for every motor. This is the most common scene at the Nanchang Highly Motor Division Winding Workshop. Among the over 180 employees in the workshop, women account for more than 60%, forming a truly "women-powered production line" that continuously radiates the brilliance of "her" strength. They are not only faithful executors of production tasks, but also industry pioneers who, with the spirit of technological innovation, continuously drive process improvement, efficiency enhancement, and quality leaps. Recently, this women's team was honored as a National Women's Civilization Model Post, showcasing their finest contributions on the front lines of manufacturing through dedication and passion.

The production process of the winding workshop is often likened to a "bypass surgery" for electric motors — every precise arrangement of each coil and every flawless soldering of each connection directly determines the motor's power performance, energy efficiency rating, and operational lifespan. In this field that demands exceptional precision, patience, and stability, the female employees demonstrate irreplaceable advantages through their innate meticulousness, focus, and resilience, serving as the most reliable "ballast stone" for efficient and high-quality production. Their fingers move with dexterity, their eyes shine with purpose — they turn repetition into perfection and the ordinary into the extraordinary, safeguarding the quality lifeline of Highly products through unwavering dedication day after day. If meticulousness and patience are their foundation, then the relentless pursuit of technological innovation is the most defining hallmark of this women's team on the shop floor. They treat the production front line as their primary battlefield, using wisdom and hard work to carry out quiet yet profound technological transformations.

At dawn, as the first rays of sunlight stream into the workshop, they have already changed into their work uniforms, put on their gloves, and are fully focused at their workstations. From wire feeding, winding, and insertion to shaping, every movement is skilled and fluid, every inspection meticulous and thorough. The winding process allows for no deviation — the copper wire is extremely fine and the number of turns must be precise; the slightest oversight could compromise motor performance. With extraordinary patience and composure, the female employees maintain intense concentration beside high-speed equipment, often standing for an entire day, embodying the responsibility and commitment of industrial workers through their steadfast dedication.

Women at Their Posts | Precision at Every Millisecond to Safeguard the Motor Core

This is a women's team that excels in innovation, tackles challenges, and champions knowledge transfer. Take Line X1, managed by female team leader Liang Chunyan, as an example. Their innovation journey began with the ultimate optimization of "fingertip micro-movements." When faced with the complex mass production of a new high-efficiency motor, the initial production cycle lagged significantly behind schedule. Instead of complaining, the employees of Line X1 spontaneously formed an internal technical team led by Liang Chunyan, and collaborated with colleagues from cross-functional departments. They used high-definition cameras to record the entire production process, then played back the footage frame by frame to analyze the trajectory, force, and timing of every hand movement. Through hundreds of repetitions of "slow-motion" decomposition and rigorous practice, they discovered that traditional winding techniques contained numerous imperceptible redundant movements and angular deviations. This led them to launch a "motion standardization revolution": they innovatively developed the "synchronous winding method" and the "three-step verification method," transforming operations that had previously relied on individual intuition into quantifiable, replicable, and teachable standardized motions. This approach not only significantly reduced operator fatigue but also increased production cycle efficiency by an impressive 18%, ensuring the on-time delivery of major orders. Today, this "standard operating procedure" refined through hands-on improvement by frontline female employees has been promoted as a model across the entire workshop, becoming a valuable asset for technical knowledge transfer.

Craftsmanship with Dedication | Building Quality Defenses through Fundamentals

In the field of quality, the female employees are also paragons of continuous improvement. The reason Line X4 has been able to maintain exceptionally high quality stability lies in the fact that its female employees are an indispensable part of the quality improvement process. When it was discovered that the consistency of coil shaping was difficult to guarantee, potentially affecting product performance, the female employees of Line X4 did not stop at merely reporting the issue. Instead, they actively collaborated with the Quality Assurance Department and the Process Engineering Department to jointly form a quality improvement task force. During the improvement process, drawing on their deep understanding of materials and deformation, they provided the technical team with a wealth of first-hand data and practical recommendations. For example, when testing new shaping molds, they provided feedback based on tactile feel and offered multiple improvement suggestions regarding limiting angles and pressure distribution, all of which were adopted, significantly enhancing the practicality and reliability of the molds. Through this deep collaboration between the "front line" and the "rear support," the quality challenge was ultimately overcome, resulting in notable improvements to key indicators such as coil symmetry, making a solid contribution to the overall quality advancement of the workshop.

Innovation as Breakthrough | Women's Team Tackles Production Challenges

In the process of advancing automation transformation in the workshop, the female employees of Line X12 demonstrated strong learning capabilities and team collaboration. They are the most direct users of the automated equipment and the most valuable source of optimization suggestions. During the commissioning of the new automated winding machines, the female workers discovered that the equipment lacked sufficient flexibility in handling certain special wire gauges. Instead of simply complaining, they meticulously documented the specific operating conditions under which the issues occurred, and proactively communicated with the equipment engineers, translating their manual winding experience into specific parameter recommendations for equipment optimization. This concrete, frontline feedback provided critical support for engineers to rapidly identify problems and optimize procedures, effectively enhancing the equipment's stability and adaptability. They have transformed from "operators" into "equipment collaborators," playing a unique bridging role in driving the intelligent upgrading of the production line.

Benchmark Guidance | Passing on the Torch to Cultivate Craftsmanship

In the workshop, outstanding female team leaders set benchmarks and serve as role models, with "mentoring and passing on" becoming the warmest form of inheritance. A good leader is also a vital guide on the path of innovation. As early as 2023, Jiang Liying, the female team leader of Line X2 who had been honored with the municipal-level May Day Women's Pacesetter title, led her team members in making outstanding contributions to the workshop and even the Company. Liang Chunyan, the female team leader of Line X1, is a worthy successor to Jiang Liying's spirit of unity and perseverance, having become a key figure who effectively connects production experience with team wisdom. She is not only a skilled on-site manager, but also a catalyst for fostering a collaborative innovation atmosphere. She excels at turning the difficulties encountered by employees in practice into topics for technical improvement, and is adept at inspiring team wisdom, encouraging female employees to boldly raise their findings, proactively report them upward, and secure technical, quality, and other resources to jointly solve problems. She insists on holding regular "experience-sharing sessions" within the team, so that everyone's "tips and tricks" become a shared asset for the entire team. At the same time, she has established a "1+N" mentoring mechanism, where one experienced veteran employee mentors several new employees through "one case per week, one topic per month," systematically organizing and passing on the accumulated valuable experience and operational know-how of the veterans. Today, female leaders like Jiang Liying and Liang Chunyan — who unite their teams and pass on skills through wisdom and a sense of responsibility — are emerging like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, becoming a driving force in advancing technological innovation.

Unity and Cohesion | Women's Strength in Collaboration

The path of technological innovation and quality improvement cannot be sustained without strong team cohesion as its foundation. Driven by the natural communication strengths and empathy of the female employees, the motor winding workshop has fostered a positive atmosphere of mutual learning, mutual assistance, shared responsibility, and collective commitment. This strong sense of belonging and solidarity not only significantly enhances employee retention, but also serves as an essential cornerstone for the continuous accumulation of technical expertise and ongoing production optimization. Guided by this spirit of ownership, the female employees proactively coordinate resources across various functions, steadily advancing every step of the journey to improve efficiency and ensure quality. Through their tangible actions, they vividly embody the new-era women's spirit of "dedication to work, striving for excellence, perseverance through hardship, and bold innovation."
