Since the beginning of this year, China's industrial economy has recovered and the pace of high-quality development in the manufacturing industry has accelerated. The reporter went to multiple places to interview and learned that a group of manufacturing enterprises are facing changes in the internal and external environment, accelerating the research on key technology products, laying out new tracks in emerging industries, accelerating the pace of digital transformation, and striving to expand new development space in seeking innovation and promoting transformation.
In early August, the production atmosphere of enterprises in the No.1 Park of Dongfeng New Energy Vehicle Industrial Park in Wuhan was as hot as the current weather. The IGBT module production line of Zhixin Technology Co., Ltd. has automated equipment running at full load 24 hours a day, providing a crucial link for the Dongfeng new energy vehicle industry.
The IGBT module is the core component of the electric control system of new energy vehicles, equivalent to the "heart" of the electric drive assembly of new energy vehicles, and was once monopolized by foreign enterprises. Nowadays, Zhixin Technology holds the core and key technologies, with approximately 300000 IGBT modules produced offline each year, at a price more than 10% cheaper than similar imported products.
At present, China's production and sales of new energy vehicles have ranked first in the world for 8 consecutive years, which is closely related to China's innovative breakthroughs in its core technology.
Racing on the 'new track' of new energy vehicles, independent innovation is the foundation for sustainable development and market expansion of enterprises. Yang Shouwu, Deputy General Manager of Zhixin Technology, told reporters that the enterprise is accelerating the research and development of new technologies and industrial layout for motors, batteries, and electronic control products, continuously improving the comprehensive performance and range of vehicles, and reducing vehicle costs. At the same time, further expanding production capacity, the second phase of the production project is expected to be completed in 2024, which will achieve an annual production capacity of 1 million sets of drive assemblies and 1.2 million IGBT modules, not only meeting the needs of Dongfeng Company, but also supplying other car companies.
In the production workshop of Aobo (Shandong) Intelligent Robot Co., Ltd. in Linzi District, Zibo City, industrial robots are automatically producing harmonic reducer components known as robot "joints" without human intervention throughout the process.
The reporter saw that the collaborative robots produced here can not only make coffee and massage therapy, but also assist industrial production, with extremely high precision in repeated positioning. Chairman Han Yongguang introduced that the company aims at the development trend of "human-machine cooperation" and has conquered core technologies such as operating systems, integrated joints, and servo control, forming a series of collaborative robot products with core independent intellectual property rights, achieving the development of the entire industry chain.
Enterprises live because of "new", and industries change because of "new". Data shows that in the first half of the year, investment in China's high-tech manufacturing industry increased by 11.8%, and the foundation of industrial development continued to be stable; The production of solar cells, industrial control computers, and systems increased by 54.5% and 34.1% respectively; The production of new energy vehicles has increased by 42.4%, and currently the cumulative production of new energy vehicles in China has exceeded 20 million units... New technologies, new products, and new industries are constantly breeding and growing, promoting the continuous optimization of industrial economic structure.
Sheng Chaoxun, Director and Researcher of the Strategic Policy Department of the China Academy of Macroeconomics, stated that China is currently in a critical period of transforming its development mode, optimizing its economic structure, and transforming its growth momentum. There is an urgent need to accelerate the development of strategic emerging industries, optimize industrial structure, and build a modern industrial system. We need to continuously optimize the allocation of factor resources, encourage enterprises to improve their internal skills, increase support for technological innovation, and encourage scenario innovation and the expansion of high-tech product market applications.
While playing the "first game" and laying out new industries and tracks, traditional industries have also taken on a "new look" by accelerating transformation and upgrading.
At present, the green corridor of the sintering plant of New Tiangang Group Tiangang Company located in Tianjin has pleasant scenery and fresh air, with many employees taking a break here.
Sintering is the early stage process of blast furnace ironmaking, and was once one of the dirtiest links in the steel production process. Dust pollution is severe, and the ground in the factory area is always covered with a layer of ash. "Liu Jifeng, the deputy operating director of the sintering plant, said that after adding dust removal facilities and implementing sintering flue gas desulfurization and denitrification projects, the environment in the factory area has become increasingly beautiful, and workers love to sit in the corridor when they are free.
The self generation rate has increased from about 20% to over 70%, and the maximum reduction in comprehensive energy consumption per ton of steel has reached 24.87%... Guo Xin, a carbon manager and head of the comprehensive department of Xintian Steel Group, used a set of numbers to describe the transformation of the enterprise in recent years.
In addition to being greener, the demand for digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading in the manufacturing industry is also constantly being released. During the interview, the reporter saw that with the assistance of digital technologies such as 5G and industrial internet, more and more manufacturing enterprises are embedding digital intelligence into the entire production management chain, from materials "entering" the production line to products "entering" the finished product warehouse.
As of now, nearly 8000 digital workshops and intelligent factories have been built in various regions, of which 209 have explored intelligent upgrading and become internationally advanced intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories. After transformation, these demonstration factories have reduced their product development cycles by an average of 20.7%, increased production efficiency by an average of 34.8%, and reduced carbon emissions by an average of 21.2%, "said the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
However, the reporter also learned that some industries are still facing downward pressure, and the overall recovery of industrial enterprise profits is slow. To this end, from ministries to local governments, we are continuously optimizing supporting policies, unblocking financing channels, improving innovation levels, and promoting digital empowerment, making every effort to do practical things for enterprises.
The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that the next step will be to better leverage the combined efforts of various policies, stabilize enterprise expectations, boost industry confidence, continuously optimize the implementation of industrial policies, promote the coordination of industrial policies with policies such as finance and taxation, finance, trade, investment, and talent, and continuously improve the high-end, intelligent, and green level of the manufacturing industry.
