Nanjing, Jiangsu Province: Competing in the new track of emerging industries

The scale of software and information technology service industry exceeds 860 billion yuan, the competitiveness of the smart grid industry chain is leading in China, and the robotics industry has entered the first national square ...... Since the implementation of the three-year action plan to strengthen the city's industry, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, strategic emerging industries are booming.2024, the total output value of the local industry's strategic emerging industries accounted for about 42% of the total output value of the industry. The proportion of the total output value of the local industrial strategic emerging industries to the industrial output value reached about 42%.

A few days ago, the People's Daily reporter went into Nanjing to interview several typical industries, from three dimensions of close observation of the local development of emerging industries and the effectiveness of the idea.

Connecting the "top" and "bottom"

Matching industry chain and scene support

Nanjing has four national advanced manufacturing clusters, tens of thousands of high-tech enterprises, the number of which is among the highest in the country. How to play the role of the main chain of enterprises to support the emerging industries to strengthen the chain of complementary chain extension? The practice of several robotics enterprises is very representative.

Zero-integrity docking and close collaboration between upstream and downstream.

Nanjing Exton Automation Co.No. 1 plant, the robot by the robot manufacturing robot "science fiction" scene is staged - heavy-duty robots and assembly robots flexible cooperation, loading and unloading, fixture change is completed automatically, in less than 20 minutes, installed a robot base.

20 minutes away.Nanjing Nanchuan Intelligent Technology Co.In the workshop, one reducer is packed and shipped after inspection. "Reducer is the core component of the robot. Over the years, the company's supply of reducers to Exton has increased year by year, and it is expected that the number can be doubled in 2025 compared to the previous year." The company's general manager Shuang Changlin introduced.

Industry chain cooperation is not a simple "sale". "From product design, research and development to testing, both sides of the whole process together." Shu Changlin said, the company's production reducer process, from the preliminary material selection, to precision, life testing, and then to the prototype put into production, will be and Exton's technical staff to work together to figure out, "such as this durability impact test area, the need to load the palm-sized reducer on the 2-ton weights, the torque of the product, the bending moment have put forward high requirements, which test parameters, methods and standards, were also designed after repeated discussions with Exton."

Hard and soft to empower the industry with strengths.

In a digitized workshop in the Jiangning Binjiang Development Zone in Nanjing, five wheeled quadrupedal sample delivery robotic dogs shuttle quickly, using intelligent scheduling algorithms, which can improve the efficiency of sample delivery by more than 50%. "Each machine dog can assess the task priority in real time and predict the task demand in the next 15 minutes, and will also work together. These functional breakthroughs rely on our self-developed multi-intelligence body perception-decision-control integrated software platform."Nanjing Keyuan Intelligent Technology Group Co.Vice President Wenqing Zhao said.

Software is the "brain" of robots. Keyuan Wisdom plays its advantages in advanced control algorithms and matches industrial intelligent body software systems for a variety of robots. Zhao Wenqing introduced that the company's software products have been used in power plant inspection robotic dogs, steel mill material transfer robotic dogs, etc. The company will also develop an integrated platform with body intelligence drive and control to empower humanoid robots.

Scenario matchmaking to help accelerate the landing of products.

In the early hours of the morning, Nanjing Metro Line 1 vehicle base, a small car carrying a six-axis mechanical arm, one by one on the undercarriage fasteners photographic detection, real-time transmission of information to the computer. "This is our development of subway vehicle maintenance robot, screws loose, attached to foreign objects and other anomalies can be found out, the accuracy rate of more than 96%."Jiangsu Ninghe Intelligent Transportation Technology Co.Shao Shuai, Director of Marketing and Sales, said, "The metro department provided scenarios to help us improve our navigation and positioning, off-road chassis and face array cameras with their expertise, and we were able to successfully develop a practical product."

Zhan Xiaoyi, deputy general manager of the company, introduced that in order to support the application of new products on the ground, Nanjing has formed an application scenario promotion mechanism to promote state-owned enterprises, government units, public places and other pioneering trials, "Scenario docking for robot debugging, optimization provides a valuable opportunity to effectively help the product iteration and upgrading."

"After years of cultivation and growth, Nanjing in large aircraft, new energy vehicles, robots, industry application software and other emerging industries to build a solid foundation and perfect chain." Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, said that since 2021, the cumulative organization of "Ning Gongpin Push" to expand the market supply and demand docking activities more than 200, more than 3,000 times to serve the enterprise, has held more than 70 "Ning innovation products" activities, the city's cumulative external release of more than 5,000 application scenarios, open cooperation, the city's application scenarios, the opening up of the cooperation. The city has released more than 5,000 application scenarios and opened up more than 14,000 cooperation demands, which has strongly promoted the application and promotion of new technologies and products in emerging industries to strengthen and supplement the chain and extend the chain.

Synergizing "research" and "production"

Bringing together innovative synergies with flexible mechanisms

Nanjing has strong scientific and educational resources, and the number of colleges, universities and research institutes and science and innovation platforms is among the highest in the country. Exploring new ways to deepen the cooperation between industries, universities and research institutes has given rise to more scientific research results from the laboratory to the production line, and the development of emerging industries in Nanjing has a source of living water.

Cooperation between institutions and enterprises to promote production through research.

Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) Nanjing MechatronicsIt is an important R&D and manufacturing unit in the field of civil aircraft electromechanics in China, mainly providing hydraulic and air-conditioning systems and other products for airplanes. In the test site, a new type of air separator is undergoing product verification. According to conventional methods, product verification service life to more than tens of thousands of hours, but the aircraft model development can not wait so long, how to do? "We cooperate with Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, innovative use of accelerated test methods, significantly shorten the test cycle." Nanjing electromechanical deputy party secretary Xiong Qiang said.

This set of accelerated test methods, from the "enterprise questions, institutions to answer questions" of the industry-university-research cooperation. Xiong Qiang told reporters that at present, Nanjing Mechanical and Electrical has been formed with the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Innovation and Development Community, in product development, technology research, personnel exchanges on the rich results, "the school teachers will come to the unit to hang around, lectures, help enterprises to enhance the innovation ability, Nanjing Mechanical and Electrical each year to receive students into the enterprise internship."

Innovative mechanisms to support research through production.

in the Luhe District of NanjingNanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics International Innovation Port Urban Air Transportation Research InstituteLi, low altitude digital intelligence air traffic control service cloud platform on the big screen, the flight area of each aircraft, route flow and other information at a glance. "The Nanjing low altitude flight service platform that is currently being debugged is going to manage and serve dozens of flights at the same time. When it goes online, it will be able to provide safe, orderly and efficient services for all flying machines in Nanjing's low-altitude area." Zhang Honghai, director of the Institute, said that from the theoretical subject to system development to product application, the birth of this set of "air road and traffic lights" system is inseparable from a series of policy support.

"The institute is both a scientific research institution and an incubation enterprise, more like a testing ground, which can bring together resources from all parties, including research, experimentation, application, and market, to stimulate innovation synergy." Zhang Honghai explained that teachers can put forward cutting-edge technology ideas, but with limited energy and teaching duties, it is difficult to manage the specific implementation. Thanks to the flexible new mechanism of SAC Innovation Harbor, the Institute can obtain start-up funds and land, and also hire fixed personnel responsible for product development and operation and maintenance, so that teachers' golden ideas can be transformed into good products. At present, the Institute has incubated and applied more than 10 patented technologies, breaking through the industry's problems such as fine management of low-altitude airspace, intelligent monitoring of traffic flow, risk assessment and control, and serving nearly 100 low-altitude flight users.

We have established a joint meeting system for cooperation between universities (institutes) and localities, and regularly issued "information lists" on innovation achievements and industrial demands; supported institutions and enterprises to create innovation consortiums, and carried out more than 110 joint research projects; and constructed 20 municipal proof-of-concept centers and 22 pilot test platforms ... ...A series of initiatives have effectively improved the transformation and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements. from 2020 to 2024, the turnover of technology contracts exported from universities and institutes in Nanjing to Nanjing will grow from 1.506 billion yuan to 2.142 billion yuan, an increase of 42%.

Integrating the "old" and the "new"

Enhance the competitiveness of advantaged industries with independent innovation

In Nanjing, software is considered an "old" industry - 25 years ago has started to develop, 15 years ago, Nanjing became the first "China Software City", and now employs more than 800,000 people! The scale of the industry is to trillion yuan target. Retrospectively over the past 20 years, the software industry's growth and change, to be able to see the development of strategic emerging industries in Nanjing's veins.
