Recently, seven departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting equipment renewal in the Industrial Field". In the face of the demand for equipment renewal in a wide range of industrial fields across the country, Hubei is accelerating research and development and actively seizing market opportunities.

In the workshop of Wuhan Newwish, more than a dozen industrial mother-machines are being assembled simultaneously and will be sent to Beijing, Guangdong, Zhejiang and other places for the die forging production of important parts in aerospace, new energy vehicles and other industries.

Zhang Huicen, marketing director of  Wuhan Newwish Technology Co., Ltd

"We are currently in a full production state. In the first and second quarters of this year, our order volume has reached about 30% growth, and we are very confident that we will continue to grow."

Full of confidence, because adequate response. Since the beginning of this year, driven by the updating of advanced equipment, the upgrading of high-end advanced equipment has become a wave. In Wuhan Newwish, more than half of the customers not only buy high-end equipment, but also choose to buy a whole die forging intelligent production line. Aiming at the change, new Vich launched a new research and development plan this year, and listed the intelligent production line and high-end equipment, which were not originally the focus of research and development, as key projects, and set up a technical team to focus on key problems.

Guo Jiaxiong, vice president of research and development of  Wuhan Newwish Technology Co., LTD. : "Electric screw press products to the direction of heavy tonnage, it is expected that the end of this year 6300 tons (products) should be able to successfully test, for forging automated production lines, and strive to improve the level of visualization and remote operation and maintenance services."

In Hubei, a large province of industrial mother-machines, many enterprises are accelerating research and development and seizing opportunities, just like Newwish. In Wuzhong, the world's largest gantry milling is accelerating development; At Huazhong Numerical Control, the "ChatGPT" Huazhong 9 intelligent numerical control system in the machine tool industry is learning to optimize, so that inexperienced users can also troubleshoot machine tools.

In response to the "implementation plan for Promoting equipment renewal in the Industrial field" mentioned in the "digital transformation action supported by digital infrastructure", Hubei is also accelerating the docking of the national market. The intelligent computing server is the core hardware of the intelligent computing center, which is the main product of Hubei enterprise "Yangtze River Computing". The flexible production line recently opened by the enterprise is running at full speed, and the customized intelligent computing server is being packaged and shipped to the western computing hub project site of major communication operators.

Yuan Zhentao, Research and development director of Wuhan Changjiang Computing Technology Co., LTD. : "The flexible production line is flexibly configured according to the needs of different configurations of customers, and the production efficiency can be increased by 30% to 50%."

Continuously improve the level of customization to meet the needs of AI development in the digital transformation of various industries. Not only to upgrade the production line, this year, the company's research and development investment has also doubled, focusing on strengthening the scalability of intelligent computing servers to adapt to more industries.

Yuan Zhentao, research and development director of Wuhan Changjiang Computing Technology Co., LTD. : "Originally, we concentrated in the traditional telecommunications industry and financial industry, but we are now faced with education, intelligent manufacturing, including intelligent driving, many industries have to make corresponding adaptation, 2024 relative to last year (order volume) can increase by more than 50%."

Enterprises are making efforts, and policies are also helping. Recently, Hubei launched the "Large-scale equipment renewal and Consumer goods to replace the old implementation plan", will fully implement the pre-emptive development action, proposed to establish Hubei equipment supply list, relying on the province's supply chain system to strengthen supply and demand docking; At the same time, focus on the "stuck neck" problems such as industrial mother-machines, docking equipment update needs, and carry out scientific and technological research in high-end equipment and other fields.

Xiao Huimin, director of the Environmental Information Department of the Hubei Development and Reform Commission: "We are a large industrial province, to put our province's own high-end equipment and manufacturing production, but also to sell out, through this high-quality needs to drive high-quality production, from there to excellent, from both ends of production and demand at the same time."
