Recently, the "2024 Belt and Road and BRICS Skill Development and Technology Innovation Competition" came to a successful conclusion. Meng Xiangkuo, a staff member, and Cai Yilei, a student, both won the first prize, with technical guidance from EFORT Robotics. This achievement not only marks the first major victory of the school-enterprise cooperation between our company and Shanghai Kechuang Vocational and Technical College, but also opens a new chapter for the deeper cooperation between the two parties in the future. Schools and enterprises join hands to create the future In response to the call of "educating people through competition", in May 2024, Efort Robotics signed a school-enterprise cooperation framework agreement with Shanghai Kechuang Vocational and Technical College, and officially launched the "Educating People through Competition, Educating Classes through Competition" cooperation project
In April 2024, NIO's supply chain development department, in collaboration with the manufacturing engineering, intelligent equipment operation, and procurement cost management and analysis teams, held a CostMining Workshop focusing on industrial robots and related products with Kuka. In-depth discussions were held on seven specific cost reduction and optimization topics, including flexible systems, mobile robots and warehouse automation, and industrial automation ground rails. In November, the two parties once again joined hands to carry out a supply chain benchmarking workshop, hoping to continue writing a wonderful chapter of cooperation. On November 28, the NIO team arrived at Kuka to update the implementation status and closed-loop management measures for the cost reduction opportunities formed by Cost Mining in April this year. On the basis of the robot and industrial guide rail business, we continue to explore all-round automation business cooperation such as pipeline packages, line integration, AMR, and stereoscopic warehouses.
On November 26, the United Power 5MW-195 unit wind turbine main control system, which uses the domestically produced high-performance PLC controller H150X independently developed by the State Energy Information Control Company, achieved full power generation at the State Energy Tongyu Xinmao Wind Farm. This system is the first large-megawatt domestically produced wind turbine main control system of the State Energy Group, marking that the group has once again achieved complete independence and control of key products and technologies in the core control field of wind power, and has taken another solid step towards the goal of domesticating large-capacity wind turbine main control systems. In the context of the accelerated iteration of large-megawatt wind turbines, wind turbines of 5 MW and above have shown characteristics such as larger single-machine power, longer blades, increased tower height, and higher power generation performance requirements. The performance of the wind turbine main control system needs to be further improved. In terms of hardware, the PLC controller must have stronger computing power, faster command response time, and higher operational reliability. In terms of software, a more friendly development environment, more modular program algorithms, more intelligent control strategies, and more rigorous testing and verification are needed.
In today's era of surging technological waves, digital transformation and upgrading of enterprises has become the only way to seek long-term development and build core competitiveness. BOE drives the expansion of display technology with continuous innovation; while Siemens Digital Industrial Software leads the digital transformation of industry with its deep technical accumulation and innovation strength. Based on the high degree of fit in strategic vision and the unremitting pursuit of technological innovation, the two parties have established a close and fruitful business partnership and jointly embarked on the exploration journey of digital transformation. Siemens BOE Simulation Lecture Hall Seminar On November 22, 2024, a high-profile high-end academic exchange event, the "Siemens BOE Simulation Lecture Hall Seminar", was grandly launched in the BOE Park in Beijing. The seminar was carefully prepared by Siemens and BOE Digital R&D Center, bringing together nearly 100 people online and offline to build a high-quality platform for in-depth dialogue and technology sharing, focusing on the cutting-edge innovative applications of simulation technology in industrial manufacturing and display technology, and conducting forward-looking discussions on its future development trends.
