2. Challenges and Opportunities in the Chip Shortage Wave

2.1 Impact of the Global "Chip Shortage Wave"

Under the influence of the global "chip shortage wave", the supply of overseas imported USB chips originally used by Mind Vision became tight, with the procurement cycle significantly extended, unstable delivery, and price increases. The lack of an effective alternative solution for the USB2.0 controller damaged the stability of the supply chain and thus posed severe challenges to production planning and cost control.

2.2 Technical Support Problems of Overseas Brands

During the cooperation with overseas brands, when product quality problems occurred, Mind Vision had to face cross-border communication barriers, slow technical support responses caused by time zone differences, and complex after-sales service systems that were inconvenient for remote operation. These problems led to low problem-solving efficiency and further increased the difficulty of solving technical problems in the production process.

2.3 Cooperation Opportunity: Corebai' Solution

Mind Vision learned about Corebai, a domestic independent brand, through online channels. The stable supply chain system and reliable performance guarantee of Corebai were the key factors for Mind Vision's choice. Out of trust and support for the same domestic brand and with the advantage of the same performance but lower price, Mind Vision finally chose Corebai. The performance of CBM9002A - 56ILG is highly consistent with that of the imported USB chip and can be replaced without changing the hardware layout, ensuring compatibility and avoiding the burden of developing a new solution. At the same time, Corebai can provide more flexible and rapid technical support and after-sales service, laying the foundation for the cooperation between the two parties.

3. Cooperation Process

3.1 Product Testing and Technical Support

Corebai provided all-round service support for Mind Vision, including the provision of free samples, enabling Mind Vision to fully verify the performance and compatibility of CBM9002A - 56ILG, thus ensuring that the product could seamlessly replace the imported USB chip. At the same time, we arranged offline visits, and professional technicians provided all-round professional support online and offline to solve various technical problems encountered by customers in practical applications.

3.2 Comprehensive Consideration of Performance, Price, and Delivery Cycle

In terms of performance, CBM9002A - 56ILG meets the requirements of USB2.0 cameras and is compatible with the existing design. In terms of price, the product shows stronger competitiveness, significantly reducing costs. The supply chain advantage of Corebai ensures a stable and fast delivery cycle. Considering these factors comprehensively, Mind Vision finally decided to adopt CBM9002A - 56ILG in USB2.0 cameras.

4. Application Scenario: The Key Role in USB2.0 Cameras

Mind Vision's USB2.0 cameras are widely used in product appearance consistency screening in the field of machine vision and play an important role in automated production lines and quality control links. The working process includes image acquisition, data transmission and processing, defect identification and rejection, output, and feedback. In this process, CBM9002A - 56ILG, as the core control chip, is based on the enhanced 8051 core, supports the high-speed USB2.0 protocol, has various low-speed communication interfaces and powerful data transmission functions. In the industrial field, especially in the application of laser marking machines, CBM9002A realizes accurate marking of different materials by controlling the operating parameters of the laser marking machine, such as laser power, scanning speed, and marking depth. These characteristics ensure smooth communication between the camera and the equipment and rapid processing of image data, thereby significantly improving production efficiency, reducing human errors, and improving product consistency and quality.

Image Acquisition

The USB2.0 camera shoots products in each production link through a high-resolution image acquisition module.

Data Transmission and Processing

CBM9002A - 56ILG, as the core control chip, ensures the real-time transmission and processing of image data, enabling the camera to quickly identify subtle differences in product appearance.

Defect Identification and Rejection

Through the image recognition technology of the machine vision system, the system can quickly determine whether the product meets the appearance standard and automatically reject defective products.

Output and Feedback

The screened product information is fed back to the production control system in real-time to ensure stable product quality and promote the optimization of subsequent production links.

5. Cooperation Results: Significant Improvements in Multiple Dimensions

5.1 Optimization of Business Indicators

Optimization of Procurement Costs: After replacing the imported USB chip, the procurement cost of USB devices is reduced, alleviating the financial burden and enhancing the price competitiveness of products.

Shortening of Delivery Cycle: The stable supply chain management of Corebai shortens the delivery cycle by more than 50%, ensuring the timely completion of customer orders and improving customer satisfaction and the company's delivery ability.

Improvement of Capital Turnover: The agent's credit period service alleviates the pressure on capital turnover, optimizes cash flow management, and supports business expansion and production plan execution.

5.2 Upgrade of Customer Experience

Improvement of Procurement Convenience: Obtaining products is more efficient, saving time and effort.

Optimization of Cost Structure: The price advantage reduces the procurement cost, optimizes the cost structure, and enhances market competitiveness.

Timely and Effective Technical Support: The technical team of Corebai can respond quickly and solve problems, effectively ensuring the smooth progress of Mind Vision's product research and development and production processes, reducing technical risks, and thus enhancing Mind Vision's confidence and satisfaction with the brand.

5.3 Technological Innovation Breakthrough

With the impending discontinuation of imported USB chips, many peer companies are forced to adopt the same integrated solution. However, Corebai' CBM9002A provides Mind Vision with an independent alternative solution, freeing it from the constraints of the integrated solution and enabling more flexible debugging and optimization of the underlying code, further enhancing the customization and flexibility of the product. This flexibility allows Mind Vision to make finer adjustments in product design, meet higher technical requirements, and thus improve the overall market competitiveness of the product. In the highly homogeneous market competition, Mind Vision, with its strong research and development strength and excellent customized product debugging ability, demonstrates outstanding technical strength and innovation ability and successfully builds a significant differentiation advantage from other competitors.

6. Customer Evaluation

Mr. C, the supply chain director of Mind Vision, said: "Since using Corebai' CBM9002A, the product quality has been stable, and no defective phenomena have occurred so far. The chip's delivery cycle has also been good, and there has been no supply interruption, further ensuring the company's production plan. Based on this good cooperation experience, Mind Vision has switched more than 90% of the product lines using imported USB chips to CBM9002A, and this decision has been highly recognized by all parties in the company."

Looking forward to the future, Mind Vision is full of confidence in the continuous cooperation with Corebai. For the development of USB3.0 products, Mind Vision hopes to keep abreast of Corebai' development progress and relevant information in real-time, so as to more accurately plan the technical path of future products. At the same time, it has great expectations for Corebai' USB3.0 products and is willing to give priority to adopting Corebai brand components, further strengthening cooperation and jointly promoting the development of the entire industry.

Mind Vision believes that Corebai' products perform well in terms of technological innovation, supply chain stability, and after-sales service. In the future, it will continue to deepen the cooperation between the two parties and jointly promote the research and development and market expansion of new products.
