China's Construction Machinery Innovation: A National Strategy Revival

Looking at the current international economic competition, in the final analysis, it is the competition of science and technology. This is particularly true of the state, and it is particularly true for companies that are in the forefront of fierce market economic competition. Only through continuous technological innovation can we maintain the vitality of sustainable development.

For the equipment manufacturing industry is no exception. The construction machinery industry, represented in particular by Zoomlion, is the foundation of China’s national economic development, and is one of the strategic industries that the country has strived to build. It is also an important guarantee for industrial upgrading and technological progress in various industries, and it is also the country’s overall strength. The concentrated expression of the technical level.

The "innovation of a people's movement is the soul of a nation's progress and the inexhaustible motive force for the country's prosperity." Jiang Zemin, who was the chairman of the country at the 1995 National Science and Technology Conference, pointed out: "If the independent innovation capability does not go, rely on With the introduction of technology, it will never be possible to get rid of the technological backwardness. A nation with no ability to innovate will find it hard to stand in the world of advanced nations."

Since the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, China’s equipment manufacturing industry, especially the construction machinery industry, has grown by leaps and bounds, the industrial system has been continuously improved and improved, its technological innovation capability has been significantly enhanced, and its international status and influence have been significantly improved. At the same time, the strength of Chinese enterprises has also increased. Continue to improve. At present, China has become a world-famous equipment manufacturing giant. In the industry, China's large-scale equipment manufacturers represented by Zoomlion, XCMG, and Liugong have not only made breakthroughs in the improvement of their product and innovation capabilities, but also controlled their global resources, their ability to use, and their ability to expand overseas markets. All-round enhancement.

However, as a developing country, China’s industrial development has started late and its foundation is weak. It is necessary to complete the modernization process of hundreds of Western developed countries in just a few decades. The difficulty and pressure can be imagined. Faced with the technology of Western countries, it is imperative to accelerate the pace of technological innovation and development. In particular, leading companies in the construction machinery industry are responsible for the localization of major engineering equipment to ensure the implementation of China's infrastructure construction and energy construction strategies.

Difficult innovations are undeniable. The innovation of a company is an adventurous activity in terms of its recent benefits. In particular, the technically-oriented national engineering machinery enterprises represented by Zoomlion are plausible. In response, Chen Xiaofei, vice president of Zoomlion said: "At present, Zoomlion has an average of one new technology and new product every day. Each year, the contribution rate of new products to sales revenue exceeds 50%. In 19 years of development, we It not only has an absolute advantage in the Chinese market, but also leads the domestic industry to compete with international giants."

An industry source who declined to be named said that China’s construction machinery companies have benefited from the continued high economic growth rate and high investment rate in China and have achieved rapid development in the past 10 years. But as with other industries there is excessive follow-up. Large and small construction companies are dotted with varying levels, lack of expertise and operating experience on large-tonnage engineering machinery, which brings hidden dangers to the engineering operations safety and the long-term health of the industry. Zoomlion is also aware of this problem and has initiated special research and development for safety conditions and safety control of large-tonnage products. At the same time, during the product testing stage, Zoomlion simulated a variety of construction conditions and significantly increased the number of simulation projects. However, relying solely on the manufacturer's technical support is far from enough. Only by strengthening the strong safety management and supervision of construction companies can we solve the problem essentially.

However, in recent days, some voices have even questioned the unprovoked development of the domestic construction machinery industry in order to ensure the country’s strategic security, and criticized the Chinese construction machinery industry for blindly pursuing “doing a job fast” and can not help but embarrass people. It is not malicious to speculate that some people have no basis for questioning the motives behind. It is true that even if an industry encounters some setbacks in innovation and development, this is also a common situation. Is this why we give up on innovation and catch up with the world's leading technologies? Isn't that a laughing cake that's "because it's been crippled?"

Looking around the world, in the core technology, the western developed countries have many barriers. For the construction machinery industry, which is responsible for the revitalization of the national strategy, more efforts should be made to innovate and maintain the leading position in technology. At the same time, the domestic market should maintain an objective and tolerant attitude towards the innovation and exploration process of these enterprises, support the national enterprises represented by Zoomlion to enhance the scientific innovation strength, and seize the upstream market of the industrial industrial chain so as to bring “Made in China”. Independently-innovated technologies and products compete in the international market, and vigorously enhance the status of national industry innovation strategy in the international arena.
