In the early autumn of this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Jinzhou, Shenyang, and other places to investigate and said: "The status of the Northeast is very important. In the war of liberation, the people of the Northeast made great contributions. In the socialist revolution and construction, the Northeast is An important base for our country. After the reform and opening up, the Northeast has also made great contributions.”
He emphatically pointed out: "the Party Central Committee attaches great importance to the revitalization of the northeast. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a series of strategic plans have been made and obvious results have been achieved. New plans will be made after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Although the Northeast has encountered some practical problems and difficulties, the prospects are very good. We are full of confidence and expectations for the revitalization of the northeast."
He also emphatically pointed out: "it is time to promote scientific and technological independence and self-improvement, seize every moment to break through the 'bottleneck' problem, and strive to master the key core technology and equipment manufacturing industry in our own hands."
The important position of the northeast industrial base in the new period is self-evident, but with the economic downturn entering a new stage, the economic pressure on Northeast China is further increasing. In particular, the old industrial base has been dormant for a long time. How to promote local development and meeting the needs of industrial upgrading has become a difficult problem for governments at all levels.
At present, the northeast region is facing two major problems: first, the new impetus for economic growth is insufficient; Second, the structural contradiction of the weakening of the old driving force is prominent. It is mainly reflected in that the integration of science and technology with economic development is not enough, the industrial structure and product structure of resource-based, traditional and heavy chemical industries do not adapt to market changes, and the development of emerging industries is slow. There are many difficulties in the transformation of regions (cities) with exhausted resources, declining industries, and single structure.
In fact, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than a problem of mechanism, industrial structure, and economic structure. To solve these problems, we must carry out comprehensive and in-depth reform. The series of targeted measures launched by the Shenyang government are worth learning from.
As the capital of Liaoning Province, Shenyang is not only an important central city in Northeast China but also a base for the advanced equipment manufacturing industry. Its transformation and upgrading measures are highly concerned by the major industrial bases in Northeast China and even the whole country.
In order to deepen the reform and help the transformation and upgrading of local industries, Shenyang focuses on "old", "original" and "new".
Shenyang is an important old industrial base of the country with manufacturing as the main body. The "time-honored brands" have a strong industrial foundation, an important position, and a prominent role. Their strategic position in ensuring national security is irreplaceable, but they are also facing problems such as low digital level and slow pace of structural adjustment. To this end, transformation and upgrading have become the key core to solving the problems of "time-honored brands", and focus on promoting the development of industrial chains of automobiles and parts, general machinery and equipment, petrochemical heavy mining and special equipment, machine tools, and functional components, and electric power equipment, improving the intelligent level of "time-honored brands", and building an advanced equipment manufacturing base with international influence.
The "original" industry mainly includes metallurgy and building materials, the petrochemical industry, and the deep processing industry of agricultural products. In 2020, there were 549 Industrial Enterprises above the designated scale in Shenyang's "original" industries, with a total industrial output value of 119.65 billion yuan, accounting for 22.3% of Shenyang's industries above the designated size.
The "new" industry that supports Shenyang's future development is expected, based on the former two. The "New" industry represents the development direction of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is an important force to enhance industrial competitiveness and seize the strategic commanding height and is the key increment of Shenyang's revitalization and development. Accelerating the development and growth of high-end equipment, new energy, and new energy vehicles, integrated circuits, biomedicine, new generation information technology, new materials, energy conservation, environmental protection, and other industries, enhancing the supporting role of "new" industries to economic development, and cultivating new drivers of industrial economic growth have become the top priority of Shenyang government's work.
From the perspective of specific planning, the Shenyang government takes the promotion of the construction of the robot industry system as the core, the iterative development of products, the collaborative innovation of research and enterprise, and the support of public platforms as the main line, cultivates and supports a number of high growth enterprises to become bigger and stronger, promotes the collaborative development of enterprises in the upstream and downstream industrial chains, and creates a robot ecosystem of innovation, industry, and finance.
As the birthplace of China's robot industry, Shenyang not only achieved the landing of China's first industrial robot but also won more than 20 first honors in China. At present, Shenyang's robot industry product line focuses on five categories of products: industrial robots, mobile robots, clean robots, special robots, and service robots. It has robot enterprises such as SIASUN Robot & Automation Co.,Ltd, Shenyang General Robots Technology Co., Ltd., and Shenyang Zontor Robot Equipment Co., Ltd., and has built public platforms such as the national robot innovation center. In 2021, the sales revenue of enterprises above the designated size in the robot industry in our city was 12 billion yuan, an increase of 9.1% year on year.
Among them, the upstream industrial chain of Shenyang robots includes the key parts and supporting products of industrial robots, mainly including servo motors, reducers, controllers, servo drives, encoders, etc.
The midstream industrial chain is a bright spot in Shenyang, especially in the R & D and manufacturing of robot bodies, which are at the forefront of the country in terms of scientific and technological R & D, production and manufacturing, and support platforms.
In terms of scientific research institutions, the Shenyang Institute of automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, as the cradle of China's robot industry, has created more than 20 firsts in the history of China's robot industry, led the research and development of China's robot technology, and is the supporting unit of nine national, provincial and ministerial key laboratories and engineering centers, including "National Engineering Research Center of robotics" and "National Key Laboratory of robotics". The national key R & D Program "deep sea key technologies and equipment" key special project "underwater helicopter" participated by Shenyang Institute of automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences has filled the gap in domestic underwater mobile detection.
In terms of manufacturing enterprises, the overall strength of SIASUN Robot & Automation Co., Ltd., a leading enterprise, is at the forefront of the same industry in China. In 2021, SIASUN won the title of the winning unit of the first phase of the artificial intelligence industry innovation disclosure list of the Ministry of industry and information technology. The "edge side industrial software platform project for intelligent manufacturing" was selected for the list of the "2020-2021 IOT key technology and platform innovation, integrated innovation, and integrated application demonstration projects" by the Ministry of industry and information technology of the people's Republic of China. The autonomous robot was selected for the "provincial pilot task plan of Liaoning transportation power".
In terms of industrial development platforms, Shenyang's robot industry has national innovation platforms such as the National Engineering Research Center for robots, the National Key Laboratory of robotics, and the national robot innovation center, and inspection and testing platforms such as the national robot quality supervision and inspection center, talent training platforms such as the College of robotics science and engineering of Northeast University, Sino German SIASUN education group, and collaborative platforms such as Shenyang robot industry alliance.
Relying on SIASUN Robot & Automation company and Shenyang Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the downstream industrial chain has initially formed an intelligent manufacturing system solution for the whole process of digitalization and intelligent manufacturing of the whole product life cycle. Mature intelligent manufacturing system solutions have been formed in the fields of electronics, medicine, automobile and parts, aviation, military industry and basic equipment, intelligent factories, digital workshops Automation of production line/link, and promotion of application.
