Ningbo, March 3 (Zhongxin Net) -- As an industrial strong city in the southeast coastal area, especially since the reform and opening up, Yuyao, Zhejiang Province has vigorously implemented the strategy of "establishing an industrial city", concentrated on developing the real economy focusing on manufacturing, and written a brilliant chapter of rapid development and continuous growth of the manufacturing industry.

In the new era, how to promote the high-quality development of the county economy is an important topic facing Yuyao. Enthusiastically embrace the digital economy, focus on cutting-edge fields such as "industrial Internet +", robots and new materials, advance the layout of future digital industries such as artificial intelligence, and strive to achieve quantitative breakthroughs and qualitative leaps in the core industries of the digital economy... This is Yuyao's answer.

Intelligent transformation and technological transformation are "in full swing"

Since the "13th Five-Year Plan", Yuyao has deeply implemented the "No. 1 Project" of digital economy, accelerated the promotion of industrial digitalization "three full coverage", focused on the goal of building a new highland of intelligent digital transformation in the Yangtze River Delta region, and fully promoted institutional innovation, model innovation and service innovation in accordance with the spirit of the Zhejiang Digital Reform Conference and the work deployment of provinces and cities to promote digital reform, and create a digital intelligent transformation path with Yuyao characteristics.

"We have introduced and implemented policies for the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry, deepened the 'three full coverage' action of digital intelligence empowerment, and continued to increase policy support for intelligent digital transformation projects." The relevant person in charge of Yuyao Economic and Information Bureau introduced.

The above-mentioned person in charge said that Yuyao will focus on supporting 5G + industrial Internet, automation complete sets of equipment, digital workshops, smart factories, etc., research and formulate 5G applications, blockchain and other new generation information technology and manufacturing integration development work plans, print industrial cultivation documents in subdivided fields such as luminescent information, high-end equipment, new electronic materials, precision molds, etc., and promote industrial innovation and development from different dimensions.

Walking into the production workshop of Ningbo Zhilun Electronics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhilun Electronics"), the roar of the machine bursts, but there are not many workers. Next to each machine, there is an intelligent display screen that displays the data of the machine.

"At present, we use a digital intelligence system, all work orders can be operated in a 'factory brain', and dispatched to each machine, saving intermediate links in management and labor costs." Mao Shu, general manager of Zhilun Electronics, said.

Mao Shu introduced that Zhilun Electronics was established in 2008, focusing on high-frequency network connectors, transformers, and a national high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, manufacturing and sales. In recent years, with the expansion of business and scale, management problems such as inefficient communication mode and lack of monitoring of factory task progress have gradually emerged.

In Mao Shu's view, after encountering a "bottleneck" at the production management level, management through digital and intelligent means is an inevitable trend and the future development direction.

Today, after digital transformation, the accounts in the factory are clear, and the data between the various platforms of the enterprise is interconnected to make the same platform. "In the next step, we will also share this management experience with the same manufacturing type enterprises to help Ningbo SMEs in digital transformation." Mao Shu said.

Build a national robot industry highland

Robots are known as the "pearl at the top of the manufacturing crown", and their research and development, manufacturing and application have become an important symbol to measure a country's scientific and technological innovation and high-end manufacturing level. With the transformation of "Made in China" to "Intelligent Manufacturing in China", China's robot industry has gradually entered the "fast lane" of development. As one of the important areas for the development of China's robot industry, the Yangtze River Delta region has a strong industrial foundation and its industrial robot industry started early.

As a gathering place of the robot industry, Yuyao is also the permanent venue of the China Robot Summit, and has become a new highland of the robot industry in the Yangtze River Delta. Yuyao Economic Development Zone relies on the advantages of Zhejiang Yuyao Robot Wisdom Valley Town, gathers policies, resources, projects and forces, extends the robot and intelligent equipment industry chain, and promotes the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.

"The essence of Robot Wisdom Valley Town is a plate established on the basis of Yuyao's vigorous development of intelligent manufacturing, attracting senior talents and scientists to Yuyao, incubating in the science and technology innovation center, and then going to Robot Wisdom Valley Town after entering the industrialization stage." The relevant person in charge of the Administrative Committee of Yuyao Economic Development Zone said.

Specifically, Yuyao highlights the orientation of "high-precision and cutting-edge lacking", deeply implements talent projects such as "Yongjiang Talent Introduction Project" and "Yaojiang Talent Series Plan", relies on China Robot Summit, China Hemudu (Yuyao) Intelligent Manufacturing Entrepreneurship and Innovation Competition and other competition activities, focuses on introducing high-level innovative talents and teams related to leading industries such as new electronic materials, robots and intelligent equipment, and gives full play to the advantages of local resources to attract a group of "golden blue collar" high-skilled talents that match the needs of industrial innovation.

Data show that in 2022, 45 new talent projects of various types will be registered in Robot Zhigu Town, 12 "Yongjiang Talent Introduction" projects, 11 "Yaojiang Talent Program" projects and 4 national and Zhejiang key talent projects, and more than 17000,<> application-oriented talents have been trained.

Taking Zhichang Technology Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhichang Group") located in the robot Zhigu Town as an example, Zhichang Group was founded by Dr. Gan Zhongzhong, a well-known expert in the field of intelligent manufacturing in China, and currently has more than 400 employees, of which doctors and masters account for more than 20% of the total number, and has a R&D and technical team of more than 200 people.

Qi Xiaoya, chairman of the technical committee of Zhichang Group, introduced that Zhichang Group is an industrial brain networking innovation group company with ternary control technology as the core, swarm bees, octopus bees, worker bee robot clusters and energy robots as the carrier, the company is oriented to the differentiated intelligent manufacturing needs at the production unit, production line, workshop, factory and industrial chain level, and has built a "one core and four machines" technical product system, providing downstream industrial and manufacturing customers with comprehensive intelligent manufacturing products and technical services, and is committed to the full element, whole process, and technical services of the industry. The whole value chain is fully connected and fully empowered, creating a new sustainable and evolving industrial sharing ecology of "personalized customization, large-scale collaboration, networked production, and intelligent services".

"We have observed that with the development of intelligent manufacturing technology, various industries are responding to the increasing demand for personalized customization from end users, this trend has become the common development direction of various industries, in this case, the difference in product classification becomes more obvious, for this situation, our robot production technology can fully meet the individual needs of different users." Qi Xiaoya said.

If the factory wants to achieve intelligent manufacturing, it needs to ensure strong data and information processing capabilities, the robot is the core product to realize the intelligent workshop and intelligent factory, and the controller is the "brain" of the robot, and the robot controller developed by Zhichang Group is the key to "solving the problem".

"In China, we have served more than 300 enterprises, including more than 20 in Ningbo alone." Qi Xiaoya said that in the next step, Zhichang Group will further rely on the robot Zhigu Town, divert more social capital to Ningbo, accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements through continuous fixed assets and R&D investment, rapidly enhance the competitiveness and market share of Ningbo's local robot industry, and make the robot industry a golden business card for high-quality development in Ningbo's new era.
