Hand in hand "German chariot" and "Jinan manufacturing" forge ahead

[Hui Cong agent joining network] Jinan and Germany have more than 100 years of cooperation in various fields such as industry and manufacturing. Today, Docking "German Industry 4.0", Jinan is making great strides toward smart manufacturing and strong city -

On November 11, 2016, Jinan Yiheng Technology Co., Ltd. was fortunate to find a good "partner" on the day when the netizen dubbed "Single Day".

At the 2016 China International Intelligent Manufacturing Conference and Sino-German SME Cooperation and Exchange Conference held on the same day, the high-tech enterprise that developed automobile manufacturing equipment reached a preliminary cooperation intention with the Chemnitz University of Technology in Germany. At the same time, 19 projects with globally renowned companies signed up for Jinan at the conference...

Hand in hand "German chariot" and "Jinan manufacturing" forge ahead

In fact, the close cooperation between the Chinese and German industries has already been fermented in Jinan. From the Jiaozhou Railway built by the Germans in 1904, and more than 100 years later, Jinan and Germany have become more and more close in the fields of industry and manufacturing. In recent years, German Industry 4.0 has received extensive attention from the global industry. How can Jinan, as an “old partner”, learn from German experience and deepen cooperation between Germany and Germany?

Low-key Jinan deep hidden "high-end manufacturing"

"Today, we come to the Sino-German SME Cooperation and Exchange Conference, not to learn technology, but to seize the German market. The world's first photovoltaic inverter was born in Germany. Their industrial base is very strong. But to say that the current world is the most Good PV inverters, we have the confidence to do better.” On the 11th, the representative of Shanyi New Energy Company Jiexue just said at the conference.

The confidence to dare to blame is derived from the hard power of the company. Shanyi New Energy has been established for only 8 years and has become one of the most well-known PV inverter brands in China. The company's export sales have been leading domestically for many years, and its products are exported to developed countries such as the United States, the Netherlands and Italy. The company is headquartered in Wuxi and chose to settle in Jinan six months ago. It has only recently completed the formalities.

“Jinan Company is our regional center, radiating Shandong Province and its surrounding areas. There are not only sales departments but also some research and development. The reason why we choose Jinan is that we value Jinan’s talent advantage as a provincial capital and on the other hand from the industrial chain. In fact, the existing intelligent transmission and distribution industry clusters in the high-tech zone are also very attractive to us." Xie Xuegang said.

What kind of sparks will the "world's first" get together? Perhaps one day, Shanyi New Energy and Jinan Jingzheng Electronics will tell us the answer. Founded in March 2010, Jingzheng Electronics Co., Ltd. was founded by the first batch of overseas talent introduction programs in Jinan. The company's fist product is called lithium niobate single crystal film. This is an important optoelectronic material. It is one of the most widely used and most important substrate materials in the fields of integrated optics, nonlinear optics, optoelectronic components, etc. It has the reputation of “optical silicon”.

Under the leadership of Hu Wen, Jingzheng Electronics has pioneered the development of a 3-inch diameter, 300-700 nm lithium niobate single crystal film product, making it the only company in the world to achieve industrial production of "optical silicon". In the future, Jingzheng Electronics plans to use the thin film products as the leader to build an international photovoltaic film material R&D and production center and optoelectronic components industrial cluster in Jinan High-tech Zone to achieve more “world first”.

Photovoltaic inverters and lithium niobate single crystal films are just a microcosm of Jinan's manufacturing industry. In the equipment manufacturing, biomedicine, CNC machine tools, servers and other sectors, there are many "world first" low-key hidden in the city. Although they are not yet well-known to the public, they are still searching for the transformation of results. However, they are speaking in practical fields in their respective fields, defending the dialogue between “Jinan manufacturing” and “Made in China” and the world. Honor.

"Old industrial base" became a past tense

While straightening the waist, Jinan is also facing the problem. As an old industrial base, Jinan once stunned the country. In the mid-to-late 1990s, there were more than 10 manufacturing enterprise groups and 9 industrial bureaus. However, in the tide of industrial transformation and upgrading, Jinan has some lack of motivation. Especially at the turn of the century, Jinan manufacturing gradually became “flat”, and many listed companies in the city were collectively degraded. In the list of the top 50 manufacturing enterprises in Shandong, only 7 Jinan enterprises were on the list...

Xu Naiyun, 53, is the head of a machine tool sales company in Jinan. In June last year, Wang Wentao, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, read a letter from the public on the development of the city in the retreat of the “liberation of the mind”. That letter was written by Xu Naiyun.

When talking about the Jinan machine tool industry, Xu Naiyun put forward more than a dozen suggestions in one breath. "The history of China's machine tool industry has '18 Arhats', and the top three Jinan accounted for two. The first gantry planer and the first press in China were produced in Jinan. Until now, the '6132' and the gantry of Jinan were mentioned. Milling machine, gantry planer, insiders or vertical thumbs." Xu Naiyun said.

However, the "old foundation" does not necessarily bring benefits. Xu Naiyun told reporters that in recent years, the private machine tool factories in Guangdong and Shenzhen have developed rapidly, and the market share of state-owned large factories has been squeezed year by year. "Private enterprises have price advantages, flexible marketing channels, and better product appearance. These should also be studied, but This is not the most important. In the past, Jinan Machine Tool was well-known throughout the country, relying on hard power. Now it is still depends on strength and talent.

Tian Xincheng, deputy dean of the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Shandong University, believes that Jinan has a certain industrial base and talent resources. However, the current level of development in the manufacturing industry, especially in the field of intelligent manufacturing, is still not high. It is necessary to cultivate the scale agglomeration effect. A lot of effort. He suggested that in addition to preparing for the long-term cultivation of industrial strength, it is necessary to do some short-term and effective work. The first thing to do is to retain talents through measures such as policy support and soft environment.

In fact, Jinan has done a lot of homework in attracting talents. In June this year, the newly introduced investment promotion support policy raised the one-off subsidy limit for enterprises to Jinan to 100 million yuan. The high-level talents at home and abroad who come to work for the economy can enjoy the business and industry, in addition to the subsidies for work and work. Green channel treatment of public services such as taxation, education, and medical care. Zide "good partner" is getting closer

The busy Hamburg port is the epitome of Germany's economic boom. The first deep-water port in Germany is handling millions of tons of cargo every day. The global financial crisis that broke out in 2008 did not seem to have any effect on it.

When the European economy was sluggish and even deep in the debt crisis, only Germany took the lead to get out of the quagmire. What makes German companies stand out in the global economic crisis? The world is competing for research and study, and ultimately the reason is attributed to the preference of German companies for manufacturing. It is not only large companies with international reputation such as BMW and Siemens, but also many unknown small and medium-sized enterprises are firmly stationed in Germany. Despite the high labor costs of German products, due to high product performance and good after-sales quality, companies are not obsessed with the market.

It has been concluded that German companies tend to be partial, like a steady and energetic middle-aged person, silently adhering to their goals and developing in a stable and focused manner. They may be “small companies” or “slow companies” and may even appear to be “stupid companies”, but stable performance and growth indicate that they are by no means “poor companies”. Today, this "stable and energetic" personality evaluation is also used in Jinan enterprises. Germans like "real", German companies come to Jinan to inspect projects. Compared with beautiful and perfect planning and design, they value "what they see and hear", while Jinan people are "realistic" and "one to one". Consistently, this is seen by many people as an important reason why both parties can become "good partners."

This friendly relationship can be traced back to the beginning of the last century, from the construction of the Jiaoji Railway by the Germans to the first banks and cinemas in Jinan, to the Jinan-Dresden Industrial Cooperation Office and Jinan Sino-German SME Cooperation. Innovation Center, then to the planning and construction of the German Industrial Park, the 2016 China International Intelligent Manufacturing Conference and the Sino-German SME Cooperation and Exchange Conference, Jinan and Germany continue to deepen exchanges and cooperation in the industrial and manufacturing fields, which also makes the relationship between the two sides more Get tight. Especially in recent years, more German companies have turned their eyes to Jinan. " Among the world's top 500 companies, Germany has invested the most in Jinan, and this intelligent manufacturing conference has attracted many German industrial and commercial people to participate in an unprecedented scale."

Chen Xiwu, Assistant Director of the National Information and Communication International Innovation Park Management Committee, has been engaged in investment promotion for a long time. He told reporters that his biggest feeling of contact with German enterprises is that the employees of German enterprises and enterprises have a high degree of consistency, steady and rigorous and responsible.

"High-quality industrial workers are a solid foundation for the four-time development of German industry. Education is the premise and the key. Germany's successful experience is their original 'dual system' training model. At present, Jinan has introduced the German-certified 'dual yuan'. The 'teaching system. Jinan Vocational College is cultivating the first batch of German modern apprentices in Jinan.” Chen Xiwu introduced.

"Going out" to open the R&D center to Germany

"Between China and Germany, especially in the field of smart manufacturing, there are many opportunities for cooperation." According to Lin Wufu of the Council of German-Chinese Economic Association, as a traditional manufacturing country, China has a high share of 20% of the global manufacturing industry. ,Market prospects. The “Made in China 2025” program has something in common with the “German Industry 4.0” program, both of which recognize the importance of the manufacturing industry in the entire sustainable economy. The two markets of China and Germany have great demand in the field of intelligent manufacturing, and the cooperation between the two countries can complement each other.

Speaking of win-win cooperation with Germany, Gao Shuren, director of the High-tech Zone Intelligent Equipment Industry Development Center, told reporters that Germany's advanced manufacturing technology is world-class, and Jinan's pursuit is still very long. At present, our experience in studying Germany is not limited to the purchase of German equipment, the introduction of German companies, but more to the exchange of talent, research and development technology. The center is planning to build a German industrial park and lay out high-end industrial clusters. In addition to supporting a complete living infrastructure, it will also plan supporting international schools and international hospitals. The purpose is to implement preferential policies for industries, talents, financial investment, innovation and research and development, attract talents, retain enterprises, enhance strength, and strengthen the radiation influence of high-tech zones and even Jinan.

In addition to "bringing in", Jinan is also boldly "going out." At present, the market in Germany and even in Europe is vast, and European human resources are in a “low value period”. Many Jinan enterprises have begun to turn their attention to foreign countries and go to Germany to build R&D centers. Just in September this year, Jinan Sino-German SME Collaborative Innovation Center was put into operation in Stuttgart, Germany. 12 companies including Shandong Aerospace Huade Equipment Co., Ltd. and Shandong Yilin Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. became the first batch of enterprises.

Jinan enterprises have the “incubator” of government credibility as a guarantee. It is much easier to find technical talents and partners in Germany. "We want to sell auto parts to Audi in Germany. The best way is to ask German senior technicians such as Audi and Porsche to dock." Songsong Auto Parts Co., Ltd. General Manager Li Songyan passed the "incubator" Germany has easily found technical talents, and also seeks counterparts in Germany and Europe through professional consulting managers and promotes cooperation.

Jinan manufacturing usher in the "best era"

“For us, the Chinese market is very important. We are willing to become a very important partner of China, transfer German technology to China, adapt to development in China, and gradually integrate into the Chinese market.” Fraunhofer Ceramics Technology And Bjorn Schwartz, assistant to the Institute of Sintered Materials, said.

China needs the world, and the world also needs China. "Promoting the stable development and sustainable development of smart manufacturing industry, I believe that this goal is completely achievable, but it must be achieved through the strengthening of close cooperation between China and Germany, and must also achieve long-term cooperation." Lin Wufu said.

"This is the best era and the worst era." In the current situation of China's manufacturing industry, the industry has used the opening words of Dickens's "Tale of Two Cities" to describe it. With the help of “Made in China 2025” to seize the right to speak “smart manufacturing”, how can we help the rise of local manufacturing?

In fact, it is not Jinan's "wishful wish" to connect Germany with the world. More and more countries and enterprises are full of expectations for the development prospects of Jinan. Zhao Xin, the Planning and Development Department of the Intelligent Equipment Industry Development Center of the High-tech Zone, told the reporter a story about “investing in business”. A few years ago, the large-scale joint venture between Volvo and Volvo was settled in the high-tech zone. From signing to land acquisition and construction, and then to start production, all of them were completed in the same year. This efficient efficiency has left a good impression on investment companies. More importantly, the signing of the project is not a “single hammer sale”. In the follow-up technology research and development, market development and even employee life, the company has given “careful care” from Jinan City to the high-tech zone. Talents and projects have been left behind. Enterprises are also developing here. This year, the temporary heavy machine that is satisfied with the hardware and software environment in Jinan has recruited the Swedish company Sandvik Group to Jinan, and plans to cooperate to build a new medium- and high-end mining equipment project with an annual output of 5,000.

The more open, the more developed. Especially since this year, the cooperation of “Zede” has been heating up rapidly. Jinan enterprises have cooperated with German companies to introduce smart parking solutions. They have joined hands with German research institutes to jointly build Sino-German joint intelligent manufacturing laboratories, and cooperate to build smart manufacturing demonstration projects. This cooperation efficiency has attracted more Jinan enterprises to try.

At the just-concluded 2016 China International Intelligent Manufacturing Conference and Sino-German SME Cooperation and Exchange Conference, 19 projects were signed in Jinan High-tech Zone, including Siemens, Germany 3S Company, Festo and other global famous companies, covering mechanical equipment and electronics. Information, new materials and other industries and processing, vocational training, research and development centers and other formats. "These projects are large in scale, high in quality and good in prospects, and will open up new space for enterprise development." Zhang Duanwu, deputy director of the Jinan High-tech Zone Management Committee, said, "The next step is to build an industry chain and consensus reached around Sino-German cooperation. The high-tech zone will plan the Sino-German SME Cooperation Park, establish a Sino-German cooperation 4.0 R&D center, establish a vocational education and dual-system education base, and at the same time build smart manufacturing smart factories, intelligent workshops, and intelligent logistics parks. The department explores exchanges and cooperation between Sino-German freight and passenger transport, creates more convenient transportation routes, and promotes closer cooperation between the Chinese and German industries."

"Made in China has to go its own way"

"Development is for ourselves, not for others. Compared to 'face', we are more important to 'lizi'." Referring to the topic of how to learn German, Han Jizhen, general manager of Shandong Yilin Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., was quite touched.

Her company has just entered into a cooperation agreement with the trade associations of the Fraunhofer-German association in Germany, and plans to introduce three key technologies for biomass energy conversion in Germany to build a small biomass energy station in Shandong. From the 6th to the 11th, Han Jizhen and the Sino-German expert group went to Jining, Shouguang and Liaocheng to investigate the feasibility of environmental protection technologies such as leaf heating and straw power generation in Shandong.

"Learning advanced technology abroad is like breaking a window paper." Han Jizhen said that in some areas, China's manufacturing industry is relatively backward, but often the key lies in one or several technologies. She always believes that Chinese manufacturing has to go its own way. Taking clean energy as an example, German technology is based on the classification of refined waste, and this precondition is still not available in China. Chinese enterprises must independently develop and develop good products with “lizi” based on national conditions.
