At the beginning of the Year of the Dragon, provinces and municipalities held high-quality development conferences one after another, focusing on the mutual promotion of industry and science and technology, and sounding the clarion call to drive productivity to a new qualitative state with scientific and technological innovation.
To cultivate new quality productivity, Foshan enterprise Yizumi has made a big move: to take scientific and technological innovation as the traction, and climb to the peak of world-class enterprises.
After more than 20 years of technology precipitation, Yizumi has become a leading enterprise in the field of molding equipment in China and one of the representatives of the high-quality development of Foshan enterprises.
Running into the future, Zhou Jun, deputy general manager, chief technology officer and general manager of the die-casting machine division of Yizumi Co., Ltd., who has just won the honor of "Outstanding Engineer" in Foshan from the Foshan High-quality Development Conference, said, "We will look at Yizumi's development from a global perspective, promote Yizumi's industrial upgrading with a global vision, and let Chinese equipment go hand in hand with the world." ”
The power of "digital intelligence": an injection molding machine rolls off the assembly line every 15 minutes.
Walk into Yizumi Wusha No. 3 Factory, which is positioned as a "high-end intelligent equipment industrial park", located in Wusha Industrial Park, Shunde, with a total investment of more than 2 billion yuan, and will be fully completed and put into use in December 2022. The factory is a powerful exploration of Yizumi's move towards a smart factory and a lighthouse factory.
Specifically, Yizumi Wusha No. 3 Factory, with the construction goal of smart factory and digital factory, based on the advanced modern lean concept, adopts the full-assembly line production operation mode in the automotive industry to produce intelligent equipment machines. After the project is put into production, it can effectively support the annual output value of Yizumi's injection molding machine product line of 2 billion.

Next, Yizumi expects to use 3-5 years to build the third factory into a truly transparent factory and data management factory. The plant will be data-driven and will greatly enhance the company's core competitiveness.
Technological research: let China's equipment go with the world.
Industry and science and technology promote each other is the only way for enterprises to develop with high quality, science and technology innovation should take the lead in supporting industrial development, open up space for industrial development, and industrial development will drive scientific and technological innovation. Zhou Jun believes that enterprises, as the main body of innovation, should adhere to scientific and technological innovation to promote transformation and upgrading, strive to promote scientific and technological innovation, and vigorously promote the transfer and application of scientific and technological achievements.
To this end, Yizumi proposes to take the initiative of innovation and key core technologies in its own hands, strengthen the independent innovation of key technologies, and break through the technical bottleneck of "stuck neck", "which is not only a strategic need for development, but also a path for enterprises to cope with various risks and challenges." According to its introduction, Yizumi has established a first-class R&D and innovation system of "Global Innovation Center-Business Division Technology Center-Technology Department" to break through the application of new technologies, new processes and new materials, and build core technology competitiveness across product lines for the company.
Yizumi's products attract "onlookers" such as merchants.
According to Zhou Jun, Yizumi started technical research, and independently developed a number of key core technologies such as "high-performance servo valve" and "real-time full closed-loop control system" by connecting Chinese and European technologies and introducing European technical teams, breaking the monopoly of the industry and being at the leading level in the world.
Through breakthroughs in key core technologies, Yizumi has successfully created high-end products with international competitiveness, and the performance of the products has been greatly improved in the four aspects of "intelligence, speed, accuracy and economy", and it has achieved competition with international brands.
At present, Yizumi's high-end molding solutions are used in various industries such as automobiles, home appliances, medical care, and electronics. In the new energy vehicle industry, Yizumi has cooperated with Changan Automobile to develop integrated die-casting parts based on Yizumi's LEAP7000T ultra-large die-casting machine and LEAP9000T ultra-large die-casting machine in cooperation with FAW, which have been applied to the production and product development of integrated die-casting parts for new energy vehicles.

In the future, Yizumi will continue to make efforts in scientific and technological innovation, focus on the goal of "high-end, digital intelligence, and green", continue to develop and master the world's leading key core technologies, enhance the core competitiveness of products, and help Yizumi become a world-class enterprise in the field of molding equipment, so that Chinese equipment can go hand in hand with the world.
Adapt to the situation: build a global talent system for the future.
In Zhou Jun's view, innovation for a country, a nation, is the soul and inexhaustible power of development and progress, for an enterprise is to find the necessary conditions for vitality and a way out, innovation is the foundation of enterprise survival and development, "only pay attention to customer demand research, independent mastery of core technology, development of innovative products, in order to have the opportunity to become the industry leader, continue to maintain the lead." ”
The key to tackling key problems and mastering core technologies lies in talents.
We will use Yizumi Global Innovation Center as a platform to build a number of research centers such as Polymer Material Forming Research Center, Metal Material Forming Research Center, German Advanced Molding Research Center, and Intelligent Interconnection Research Center, so as to give full play to the cluster effect and drive industrial upgrading and development with innovation. Zhou Jun introduced that the company is implementing the "Excellent Engineer Program", and looks forward to training 8 10 technical leaders every year through systematic management and training, combined with the core technology research and development and product innovation of enterprise development.
