China News Service, Hangzhou, March 30 (Bao Mengni) Developing new productive forces according to local conditions is the theme of promoting high-quality development in various places. As the capital of Zhejiang, a major economic province, Hangzhou is currently making every effort to promote the "new" industrial structure. Among them, allowing the traditional manufacturing industry to "sprout new sprouts" has become an important direction.
This month, Zhejiang Chunfeng Power Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Chunfeng Power")'s production base in Jiaxing was officially completed and put into operation. Previously, the company has completed production layout in Thailand, Mexico, and domestic Hangzhou, Chongqing, Zhuzhou and other places.

This company, headquartered in Linping District, Hangzhou, has achieved iteration and transformation from motorcycle accessories to core engine components to global vehicle production in its more than thirty years of development. "It is a new generation of information technology that helps us realize the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing intelligence, management intelligence, supply chain intelligence, product intelligence and industrial ecological intelligence." Zhu Hongfen, director of the Public Affairs Department of CFMotion, said frankly.
For example, relying on key technologies such as the industrial Internet of Things, intelligent modeling, big data mining and analysis, the company has newly developed a digital production management system that supports group-based multi-base management and will be put into operation in the near future.
Dongfeng Power's "innovation" path is a reflection of the transformation of Linping, a "traditional manufacturing region", from manufacturing to "intelligent" manufacturing. There are 5 provincial-level "future factories" in Linping, including CFMotion, leading Zhejiang in number.
While paying attention to the application of new technologies, how to turn the current situation of traditional manufacturing agglomeration into new advantages is a common issue faced by many districts and counties in Hangzhou.
Recently, in the Membrane Materials Town of Xiaoshan District, the Cobetter C11 Semiconductor Ultrapure Water Degassing Membrane Project is accelerating its progress. Based on the background advantages of the new materials industry, Xiaoshan's self-textile materials have been iteratively upgraded. Now, driven by the "chain master" enterprise Cobetter, the district's new materials industry has entered the fast lane of agglomeration.
"Developing new productive forces is not about simply withdrawing from the original industry and starting a new one, but it is about deepening iteration and integrated development based on the basic advantages of the original industry to create more identifiable and leading industrial clusters." Xiaoshan District Economic and Information Technology The relevant person in charge of the bureau said.

In fact, the development of new productive forces in traditional manufacturing industries is not achieved overnight, but requires "long-term" scientific research investment.
This month, the domestic commercial aircraft C919 appeared in the flight preview of the 2024 Singapore Air Show, and Zhejiang Xizi Shibirui Aviation Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xizi Aviation") once again entered the public eye. 15 years ago, Xizi Airlines won the bid for the C919 project and became the only private enterprise among the nine airframe structure suppliers in the project. It is mainly responsible for the production and manufacturing of high-tech emergency generator doors and auxiliary power unit doors.
Over the past decade, the company has invested more than one billion yuan in research and development. Looking forward, Xizi Aviation has completed the leap from manufacturing agricultural machinery accessories to aircraft parts after more than 40 years of business. This is also the epitome of Qiantang District, where Xizi Aviation is located, focusing on scientific research to develop the aerospace industry.
It is understood that as the location of Zhejiang Province’s “10,000 acres and 100 billion” new industry platform for aerospace, Qiantang relies on Zhejiang University Aviation Manufacturing High-end Equipment Research Center, Zhejiang Province Aircraft Composite Materials Technology Innovation Center and other platforms to put the aerospace industry on the “fast track” "Provide scientific research support.
This year, the work report of the Hangzhou Municipal Government clearly implements the leap-forward action to rejuvenate the manufacturing industry, actively promotes the "intelligent transformation" of industry, cultivates 2 provincial-level "future factories" pilot enterprises, and digitally transforms 255 small and medium-sized enterprises in key sub-sectors. Add 16 industrial Internet platforms for industrial clusters worth more than 10 billion yuan, use technological innovation to create new development advantages, and strive to invest 80 billion yuan in R&D funds for the whole society.
It’s spring time again. However, Hangzhou, which is paying attention to the application of new technologies, industrial cluster development, and long-term scientific research investment, is more than just a temporary "spring breeze". (over)
