World Ceramics Forum

【Georges Mr. Cali】: Members Good afternoon Thank you very much come to listen to my speech. My special thanks this time, the committee invited me, my speech is about the ceramic industry, innovation in the new functionality innovation. I want to say a few points about the design, especially in the digital design of a development, because we need to have an innovative, all of a number of innovative applications, and now need to find a new way to design, first of all I want to show the situation in Spain, but that there is some support for our ceramic industry, a number of factors. That is the whole world can see, this is our country, Spain is a very small country, only 4 million people, this is the ceramic concentration region, the smaller area is our place is a small area, the Spanish ceramic production is about 98% are made here. Is about 40 square meters, centralized all of the factories, there are approximately 2 million square meters a day. Every day there are one million square meters of production, more importantly, there is some support for the entire industry, such support is the ability to say, as some academic knowledge, a number of universities, some colleges, such as ITC, there is a college called the ICV is called the Institute of ceramics and glass. Some of my colleagues here might be a better understanding of these are, like some of the cup, you will have heard, there is to support the company's number of associations in such a support to our company's development is very important. Such as glass, ceramics enterprise development. The next is the 50-year history of a society in the world is a very important association, we are the second largest after the United States of an association. This is what we call this company, and our universities, Hoi Mei City University, they are able to ceramic industry, all aspects of support for it. In particular, that the Madrid Union will for the other companies have given great support. This is the general support for an association of Spanish companies, they are to support those unable to continue its operation process, and provide some activities arrangements. Our activities are called the Spanish Ceramic Glass Association, was established in 1960 in February, and then some of the following are some of his main functions, the main scientific, technical, as well as a number of technical innovations, some of the ceramic glass industry innovation to enhance the entire ceramics and glass industries. I also need to introduce is the most important thing is that we have a number of divisions, including the likes of artistic design, ceramics, tiles, and porcelain products, as well as basic disciplines, as well as glazed tiles, there are red brick, as well as glass products, as well as research and design, training programs and so on. Each department has some common ground, they will hold some meetings. The most important activity, as I mentioned earlier, our scientific journal is an English version. We won an award, like a contest, there are some companies that is able to demonstrate a number of ceramic products, new technologies, including in the design, this shows that we are able to give them a prize awarded. We now look at some of the Ceramic Society show how the inside looks like. For instance, we have a lot of features, at the beginning of time, we do of storage, such as storage of water, salt, sugar, only clay. The 21st century, we need to store more things that need to feature appearance and so on, we can transplant firing activity at the same time to save some energy, which must be taken into account, because the energy problem if more and more worse, we as a whole humanity would be threatened, the problem for our future generations have a more intuitive role. In the 21st century require more changes, such as ceramics which we need to find some new features, new applications, and then there is more business expansion, such as our tiles, our glass tiles, and even our manufacture of materials with some mud and so on. I think this will be our future in the 21st century ceramic industry's future. This is Spain's production of a map, and now there is a downward trend, a decrease of 15%. Sales slightly better, not as production of less severely affected. We have great the other inside the expansion, you can see the line up, and this is one of our state. The site map showing the production process I was all about. First, we have the raw materials, grinding crush it. The second part of the talk is to design, and now we have become more and more extensive tile, the application closely linked with our production, their production should be considered when the tiles more mode of production was all about. For example, our design which we are not to consider all aspects of the contact surface. A beginning, we have been using these plate printing technology, the most advanced is now used more is that silicon turntable, you can use this general approach to tile sculpture. Now we have a more advanced is the digital technology, we use this digital technology, such as the following equipment on display there is a digital technology, can bring our the glaze on the inside. There is also our relatively new technology, water, glaze color tiles to us. Now we talk about the Jiuji system, its strengths lie? The color characteristics of the technology, how will it? For example, he can be a better contact surface to give us color tiles. This can be avoided will have some color in the process there are some problems, or have some color fading, and so the process will be. There will be flexibility, you can use some new equipment, or new design, applied to the color of the process. For instance, we can use a different color as a combination, to our ceramic tile color, of course, if the words in different colors to spend a lot of money, but if we are only four kinds of color, we will lower the cost. For example, we have black, yellow, blue, I think that in four colors had enough, you can create a variety of colors. Just display device can use these colors, different combinations, according to customer's demand to set Zaochu they want color. If we look carefully, they would have found that every one has a 500 entry. We will have four thousand different needles can be combined to create more than 600 kinds of combinations, such CIG model would be more efficient, but also have more color choices. System is electronic, rather than mechanical, so this electronic device will control more precise. We carefully look at what these devices, then you can see the model of electronic Mozi than the mechanical advantage, and now our problem is that if we use the four kinds of color, then a question is should we assume that the tip is small, set points will be relatively large, very often there will be such problems. To resolve this issue, the system can be a good application. We believe that a good way is to use nano-technology, in this system, there are tens of thousands of set point, which is one of style. Just like the same photo, we have copied the desired shape, you can always print to the tiles above. All of these designs or shapes are available through the equipment just to make it. If we have some used in the production system, or our production tools, in particular, can be used in our production or use of such nano-particle technology, I believe it's color, such as blue, sky blue, yellow, and so these colors The problem is most likely will be resolved. The color will become deeper, but another color may be smeared out, we have to find a way to solve the depth problem. I believe a lot of programs applied to ceramics, they would have a very good solution. For example, if using this spray needle can be a good solution, it is by our community coalition which to develop. We have an engine, the microprocessor, the middle part of a stored liquid. This is the production process can handle the style, such as on the left of the place, we only have a single tool, for example, every day we can only produce five kinds of different options, but if we put a single tool for a few more words, produced can grow more numerous. This is a role of aggregation, such as similar to a nano-aggregation, and this is what we are based on a chemical formula. Is to use a barium ion, and our role of oxalic acid by chemical together, after some chemical changes can produce nano-raw materials we want. Another binding technology, we have a laser or laser technology. And many advantages of this system, for example, we can aggregate color, and then the grass is very easy to dissolve this technology to a variety of different materials together, through laser technology, laser technology to integrate them, but also can the protection of our resources to better use of raw materials to our production process. This system has many advantages, for example, the energy he needed less negative impact on the environment is smaller, it will be less processing procedures, the advantages will be more persistent. If we use this laser technology, we can not iron, etc. to other more complex tools. For example, the injection of this glaze will not become a problem. This is what we use some of the laser. The final here in our little-used. Use this laser technology, we can see a pattern with a laser to break out what kind of. Another point we also know that some color is relatively clear, but sometimes the color of glaze can be muddy in other some, using this laser technology can be maintained in the clarity of a variety of colors are the same. The application of laser is also very extensive, it can be in one or more of the programs which use, in particular, can be applied to our ceramic production enterprise which would enable us to avoid some of the material of the original waste, but also allows us the decorative binding The process becomes more simple, more brief, in the production process is more time-saving, energy-saving. The following are on a number of antibacterial tiles, we are in the city produced a number of antibacterial tiles, due to time off on a bit with what to do. I had prepared a lot, but not enough time, I skipped, and now speak a separate tile is what we call Emmanuel tiles, for example, tiles can be wonderful for the elevator, to apply some security exports, the EU is the has been widely recommended. We will also anti-conductive ceramic tile, heat-resistant tiles, our tiles are all of these countries have produced, and now display is a non-slip tiles, our understanding of this is very professional, but the application is not a lot. Anti-skid ceramic tile is a model, he can apply to our application pool, spa, hotels, hospitals, etc., in these places is relatively frequently. He will be a very good non-slip nature. This is a non-slip tiles purification of the scene. Another kind of system is the map of this system. Finally, I sum up what I say: For example, our R & D for our ceramic development is very important, especially in the Spanish market played a crucial role, we have an intuitive place, put all of our institutional linkages together to promote research and development. The role of such mutual good for the university co-operation with enterprises, so that they can contribute to more demand, would bring more diversity to our research and development will finally be finding a more business for our and more profits, these are the traditions and application of ceramic will have a good inheritance, Thank you.
