Yudian Automation Achieves TÜV SÜD Safety Certification for AI-85X Controllers
Yudian Automation Technology Co., Ltd., a prominent player in the field of intelligent temperature control systems, has made headlines by becoming the first brand in China to secure TÜV SÜD’s functional safety certification for its AI-85X series temperature controllers. This significant achievement reflects Yudian’s commitment to excellence and robust technical capabilities, promoting high reliability for its products across various industries.
The TÜV SÜD functional safety certification represents one of the most stringent safety standards recognized globally, particularly relevant in safety-critical sectors that include semiconductors, industrial automation, and renewable energy. By obtaining this esteemed certification, Yudian has confirmed its compliance with superior benchmarks for risk management and reliability in demanding manufacturing settings.
The journey to obtain this certification spanned over 13 months, showcasing a thorough collaboration between Yudian's dedicated technical teams and TÜV SÜD's specialized experts from both China and Germany. This intense period involved rigorous assessments regarding product design, hardware validation, software verification, and stringent control over production and documentation processes.
The AI-85X series is tailored specifically for high-end manufacturing environments such as semiconductor fabrication, photovoltaic systems, and renewable energy projects. Leveraging Yudian’s unique APID intelligent regulation algorithm, this series boasts exceptional temperature control precision, accomplishing control accuracy levels of 0.002°C—essential for the most critical precision manufacturing applications.
Since its inception in 1991, Yudian has focused intensely on the temperature control sector, cultivating over 35 years of in-depth expertise and emerging as a leader in the global temperature controller marketplace. The company operates a state-of-the-art, self-built manufacturing facility that spans 60,000 square meters, with an impressive annual production capacity of 10 million units. Yudian’s reach extends across more than 150 countries as they cater to a clientele exceeding 80,000 customers worldwide.
Furthermore, Yudian has played a pivotal role in the establishment and refinement of over 50 national and industrial standards in China, including the crafting of the core national standard GB/T 20819.1-2015, which pertains to controllers with analogue signals used in industrial process control systems. Their continual involvement in setting these standards underscores their leadership and influential position in the industry.
With a focus on independent research and development, Yudian is committed to fostering innovation and technological advancement within the temperature control sector. Their continuous development of cutting-edge technologies places them at the forefront of industry progress. Noteworthy features of Yudian temperature controllers include: an accuracy up to Class 0.05, rapid sampling capabilities of up to 20 milliseconds, and an ultra-high resolution of 0.001°C, setting them apart in the competitive landscape.
Reliability and quality are hallmarks of Yudian's products, characterized by low-temperature drift, impressive anti-interference capabilities, and long operational lifespans. Their products' quality is considered vital, prompting Yudian to implement rigorous quality controls throughout every stage, from research and development to manufacturing, ensuring that their quality indicators significantly exceed prevailing industry standards.
For instance, their Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) burst immunity test can withstand up to 6kV. Additionally, standard products remain operational in environment ranges from -20°C to 80°C, and specially customized products can endure temperatures up to 120°C. Yudian's controllers have passed a stringent 72-hour salt spray test for corrosion resistance, and their annual product return rate is meticulously managed to stay below 0.1%, which is substantially lower than the industry average.
As a company committed to quality, Yudian engages in comprehensive quality management processes, incorporating advanced testing equipment and maintaining remarkably low defect and repair rates. In 1998, Yudian became one of the first temperature controller manufacturers to achieve ISO 9001 certification, later securing multiple international certifications including CE, UL, and RoHS. The recent TÜV SÜD functional safety certification will likely serve as a gateway for Yudian to broaden its footprint, gaining entry into complex markets such as the European Union and North America while catering to some of the most demanding clients on a global scale. This milestone not only reflects Yudian’s dedication to quality assurance but also enhances its competitiveness in the growing global market for temperature control solutions.
