"At the foot of Yushan Mountain, kinetic energy conversion writes a new chapter—— A glimpse into the two-innovation three-dimensional butterfly transformation method in Yushan High-tech Zone, Changshu" Focus on Yushan High-tech Zone Consolidate the foundation for advantageous industries, Seize the opportunity of emerging industries The road to high-quality development The full text of the report is as follows Technological innovation Integrated development with industrial innovation It means the conversion of old and new kinetic energy Such a conversion How to turn quickly and effectively? Walking into Changshu Yushan High-tech Zone, the answer is clearly visible: from the roaring smart production lines in the workshops to the busy e-commerce operation teams in the office buildings, from traditional manufacturing companies that have been involved in decades to the rapid rise of new consumer brands, a vivid picture of accelerated industry iteration and accelerated leaps in potential energy is slowly unfolding. Changshu Research Institute of Southwest University It is understood that as an important place for Changshu's industrial development, Yushan High-tech Zone uses dialectical thinking to plan and promote the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation. It activates the vitality of traditional enterprises in the transformation of "establishment and destruction", expands high-end equipment clusters in the balance of "offense and defense", and cultivates new consumption momentum in the integration of "new and old". It is embarking on a path of high-quality industrial development with both historical depth and innovative vitality. Within Yushan High-tech Zone’s industrial landscape, a group of restructured enterprises originating in the early years of reform and opening-up stand as living witnesses to regional development. These established businesses, which carry the memory of local industry, have not faded with time. By introducing new rules and breaking with outdated systems, they have transformed from traditional factories into modern enterprises and become leaders in specialised markets. In the workshop of Changshu Switch Manufacturing Co., Ltd., intelligent robotic arms accurately complete component assembly, and digital monitoring screens display production data in real time. It is difficult to imagine that this company, which is now firmly at the forefront of the country in the field of low-voltage electrical appliances, was formerly a small local state-owned factory established in 1974. "During the restructuring in the 1990s, the biggest problem we faced was to break away from the planned economy thinking and establish market-oriented business logic." Wang Chunhua, the current chairman of the company, recalled. In the early stage of transformation, the company actively introduced modern enterprise management systems and established a competition system with technology research and development as the core. In 1992, Changshu Switchgear borrowed 5.6 million yuan to establish the first CAD/CAM/CAE system in the industry in the country, and began to develop a new generation of molded case circuit breaker CM1, which was the first independent development and manufacturing of similar products in my country. After that, Changshu Switch closely followed the international technological frontier and developed CM2, CM3, and CM5 series products based on CM1. Based on CW1, it developed CW2 and CW3 series intelligent universal circuit breakers and other internationally advanced products. These two series of leading products quickly became serialized and occupied a large share in the market. They have since laid a solid foundation for the development of the enterprise. Since the 1990s to the present, Changshu Switch has undergone six major institutional innovations. Today, Changshu Switchgear has become the "vanguard" of the domestic circuit breaker industry. Its products cover more than 70 series, sell well in domestic and foreign markets, and have obtained more than 2,300 patents. It has frequently appeared in major projects such as the State Grid and high-speed rail construction. The same "keeping uprightness and bringing out the new" And Su Great Wall Precision Technology Co., Ltd. This former Changshu Great Wall Bearing Factory Now it has become a company focusing on Provide high-quality bearing products and An international enterprise with comprehensive application solutions Great Wall Precision’s “key to breaking the situation” is to focus on “independent and controllable core technologies”, actively grasp industry development trends, and steadily promote high-end manufacturing, green, low-carbon and international development. The company has a CNAS-accredited testing center and is one of the first bearing manufacturing companies in China to overcome technical problems related to ultra-precision bearings and achieve industrialization. The transformation of these transformed enterprises confirms Yushan High-tech Zone's profound thinking on the upgrading of traditional industries: "breaking" does not mean total denial, but breaking the institutional barriers and technical bottlenecks that restrict development; "establishing" does not mean blindly pursuing innovation, but establishing a management model and innovation system that adapts to the times. It is under this idea of "developing both innovation and establishment" that the old enterprises in Yushan High-tech Zone have not only retained the ingenuity of deeply cultivating the industry, but also injected the vitality of innovation and development, becoming the "ballast stone" for regional industrial upgrading. If the "breaking and establishment" of transformed enterprises is the industrial foundation of Yushan High-tech Zone, then the "offensive and defensive" balance of the high-end equipment industry cluster demonstrates its competitiveness in key areas. As the core leading industry in the region, high-end equipment companies represented by CCCC Tianhe and Tongrun Drive have always adhered to the development logic of "defending the core and entering new areas", building a solid foundation in the domestic market and emerging in the international arena. At the Changshu base of CCCC Tianhe Machinery Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd., shield boring machines that will be shipped to all parts of the country are ready for use. As the "hidden champion" in the field of domestic TBMs, CCCC Tianhe has always "maintained" its core business of R&D and manufacturing of TBMs since settling in Yushan High-tech Zone, from breaking through the technology of ultra-large TBMs with a diameter of more than 16.6 meters to developing composite shields adapted to complex geology. The company has provided more than 700 shield machines for domestic subway and tunnel projects, and participated in major domestic and foreign projects such as the Haitai Yangtze River Tunnel, the West Tianshan Tunnel, and the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway Tunnel in Indonesia, becoming a benchmark enterprise in the global tunneling major technical equipment industry. “Standing to our main business is not about resting on our laurels, but about going deep and thorough in core areas.” said the technical person in charge of CCCC Tianhe. It is precisely based on the deep cultivation of shield machine technology that companies can "attack" new scenarios. In recent years, CCCC Tianhe has extended shield machine technology to shaft excavation, water conservancy projects, coal mines and other fields. In June this year, the first nationally produced ultra-large-diameter sunken shaft boring machine "Ergong Vertical Shield No. 1" rolled off the production line in Changshu, successfully opening up a new market worth tens of billions. Echoing CCCC Tianhe’s “maintaining its main business and exploring new areas” Tongrun Drive is in the layout of "defending domestically and attacking the world" Demonstrate the strength of Chinese equipment Walking into the exhibition hall of Tongrun Drive, one by one the "black bumps" are glowing with metallic luster, revealing a simplicity and atmosphere unique to industrial aesthetics. This is the "heart" of the elevator - the elevator traction machine, which provides a steady stream of power for the operation of the elevator. Since its establishment, Tongrun Drive has achieved a number of international and domestic firsts and innovations through innovation drive, and has successfully developed from the industry leader of worm gear traction machines to the world's first industry leader to deliver one million units of traction machines. As the leading supplier in the field of global elevator traction machines, Tongrun Drive actively "attacks" the international market on the basis of "defending" the main position in the domestic market. It has opened 18 overseas operation and service centers around the world, has 8 manufacturing bases, and exports products to more than 70 countries and regions. It accounts for more than one-third of China's total traction machine exports, more than 1.9 million units.The machines are running simultaneously on buildings around the world. The "offensive and defensive" approach of the high-end equipment industry in Yushan High-tech Zone reveals the dialectical logic of the development of industrial clusters: "Defending" means guarding core technologies and the basics of the domestic market to provide stable support for development; "offensive" means overcoming technical difficulties, exploring new fields and new markets, and injecting new momentum into growth. This "offensive and defensive balance" not only allows enterprises to gain a firm foothold in fierce competition, but also promotes the formation of a high-end equipment industry ecology in Yushan High-tech Zone with "independent control of core technologies and two-way development of domestic and foreign markets." While high-end equipment companies demonstrate their hard-core strength in "offense and defense", the emerging industries in Yushan High-tech Zone are creating a new growth curve based on the traditional industry base with a deep integration of "new and old". Benchmark projects represented by Suzhou Shougang Technology Co., Ltd. and the official flagship store of JD Apparel Changshu origin rely on the industrial foundation accumulated in the region, through model innovation and ecological construction, to allow the "old" track to grow "new" business formats, becoming a vivid footnote to the Yushan High-tech Zone in stretching the industrial chain and activating new momentum. Wearing AR glasses produced by Shouging Technology and walking into the factory, complex machinery and equipment become transparent in seconds, and the operating status and hidden dangers and risks can be seen at a glance. It is like doing a "real-time CT" for the machine, and a novice becomes a master in seconds. This company, which focuses on the research and application of augmented reality (AR) technology, is a typical example of how old industries in Yushan High-tech Zone are “growing” new momentum. “Yushan High-tech Zone has a solid foundation in the precision manufacturing industry, which is the prerequisite for us to take root here; and focusing on the research and development of optical technology in multiple fields such as industry, security, cultural tourism, and education is our direction to break through. "Introduced by Xing Zhiming, head of Shougang Technology. The company deeply integrates traditional optics and modern intelligent technology, and relies on its profound technological accumulation to develop a series of innovative AR glasses products that have reached internationally advanced levels in terms of display effects and interactive experience. It has developed customized solutions for industrial maintenance, education and training, medical assistance and other fields. If Shoujing Technology is Yushan High-tech Zone “Old Manufacturing” A model of transformation to "new industry" Then JD Clothing Changshu Origin Official Flagship Store It is "old industry" and "new model" colliding sparks "Changshu is a 'famous casual clothing city in China' with thousands of clothing companies. However, in the past, many small and medium-sized enterprises faced the dilemma of narrow channels and weak brands." said the person in charge of the official flagship store operation of JD Apparel Changshu. The core value of the flagship store is "activating old industries with new models": in terms of operation model, JD Clothing anchors mid-to-high-end consumer groups and relies on its own platform traffic, user resources and service system to create the first official store directly supplied from the place of production; local clothing companies in Changshu have become the "supply backing", relying on mature production systems and quality control capabilities to provide high-quality and cost-effective clothing products for the flagship store. In the face of the "new consumption" trend, Lujie Kunchi Group, the flagship store operating company, will also rely on tools such as AI operations and AI-assisted product selection, combined with consumption trend data from the JD platform, to intelligently feed back product development and portfolio strategies, helping companies shift from "sell what they produce" to "produce what they need", thereby achieving precise optimization of products and improvement of sales efficiency.。 The rise of emerging industries and new consumption tracks in Yushan High-tech Zone vividly illustrates the development wisdom of the integration of "new and old": "old" is the industrial foundation accumulated over decades and complete industrial chain supporting facilities, which is the foundation for innovative development; "new" is model innovation, technological innovation, ecological innovation, and is the key to breaking through growth bottlenecks. This "symbiosis of old and new" development path not only brings new vitality to traditional industries, but also allows Yushan High-tech Zone to seize the opportunity in the layout of emerging industries, injecting continuous vitality into the high-quality development of regional industries.
