Opening the resume of Jiangsu Zhongsheng Transmission Technology Co., Ltd., the path of innovation driven professional development is clear: whether it is developing from the synchronous belt maintenance market to a professional supplier of equipment matching, or transforming from a traditional equipment supporting product manufacturing enterprise to a scientific research and manufacturing enterprise, technological innovation has always played a crucial role as an engine. Zhongsheng deeply feels that technological innovation is the foundation of a company's existence, the fundamental guarantee for seeking sustainable development, and the only way to achieve transformation and upgrading.

For Hong Kong's leading industry, technological innovation is not equivalent to the general term of "technological progress" in the past.  It is the overall progress and innovation of the collaborative management system, talent construction (development mechanism), organizational structure, production service process, and business model carried out by enterprises around the core of technological progress in the market.  Simply put, in order for the enterprise to develop better, other elements of the enterprise must be transformed around the goal of technological progress, such as establishing a mechanism for various elements within the enterprise to jointly promote technological progress, in order to achieve sustainable development of the enterprise.

Looking back: In recent years, Zhongsheng has made beneficial explorations around "technological innovation"

1、 Based on the company's development strategy, improve the technology management system

In recent years, based on the development strategy of the enterprise, Gangda Leading Industry has established a clear technology management system, forming a three-level technical system of "company technology committee, engineering technology research center, and production department technology public relations team".  Among them, the company's Science and Technology Committee is responsible for formulating technology development strategies, focusing on medium - and long-term technology development ideas and paths;  The Engineering Technology Research Center mainly conducts process testing and technical research and development around scientific research projects and target products;  The technical public relations team of the production department provides on-site technical support and cooperates with the engineering technology research center to carry out product development and industrial manufacturing.  This transformation enables technology to better serve production, which is beneficial for the cultivation of the company's technological capabilities and the realization of products.

2、 Strengthen the construction of technology centers and cultivate high-end scientific and technological talents

Zhongsheng regards technology investment as a strategic investment and has continuously increased its investment in recent years, establishing major research and development platforms such as engineering technology research centers and school enterprise cooperation. We have basically formed professional technical talents in rubber formulation, process research, mold design, special processes, physical and chemical testing, and other aspects.

3、 Establishing a technology incentive mechanism to increase the income of technical personnel

Zhongsheng has subdivided its technical personnel into professional categories and established a professional technical position system. Factors such as undertaking scientific research projects, achieving achievements and awards, professional titles and years of professional technical experience, and talent cultivation are included in the evaluation system to guide scientific and technological personnel to continuously improve their innovation capabilities. At the same time, the company continuously optimizes the salary structure of technical personnel, adds research funding rewards and project rewards, and improves the enthusiasm and initiative of technical personnel in their work.  In addition, the company also holds a science and technology work conference in January every year to commend outstanding science and technology workers and papers, and motivate technical personnel to consciously participate in enterprise science and technology innovation activities.

4、 Using the "industry university research" platform to promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements

Zhongsheng implements an average of over 8 research and development projects per year, with industry university research projects accounting for over 40%. Based on the needs of product development, market expansion, and other aspects, the company flexibly adopts various forms of cooperation with universities and research institutes. For example, Zhongsheng Engineering Technology Research Center has established joint basic laboratories with Nanjing Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Southeast University, Qingdao Rubber Research Institute, and other units to carry out industry common and universal technology research; Or use existing and pre developed products as carriers to jointly develop new processes with other enterprises aimed at improving efficiency, reducing costs, and improving quality.

Outlook: Continue to rely on "technological innovation" to drive enterprise transformation and upgrading

1、 The direction of transformation and upgrading

For Zhongsheng, the essence of transformation and upgrading lies in: firstly, grasping the overall direction, that is, "doing the right thing"; 2、 Determine the development path and take effective measures to implement it, that is, "doing things right".  In 2018, based on its own business development situation and the national "12th Five Year Plan for Energy Development", Gangda Belt Industry made a strategic choice to add intelligent manufacturing and power transmission key component business on the basis of the original rubber synchronous belt, maintenance and supporting, and proposed the strategic goal of building a "power component system process integration supplier".

2、 Transformation and upgrading development path

After determining the direction, what needs to be considered is the development path and taking effective measures to implement it, that is, "doing things correctly".  Undoubtedly, the current internal and external environment has put forward higher requirements for Zhongsheng: whether it is brand, equipment, technology, or management capabilities, we have a lot of room for improvement. However, the most crucial thing at present is still technological innovation.  In the future, the company will further deepen the reform of its scientific research system, increase investment in science and technology, and particularly emphasize the construction of engineering technology research centers as an important component supporting the company's strategic development.  Through cooperation with other economies and the formation of a complete industrial chain, the Engineering Technology Research Center is bound to become a basic industrial research platform in Taizhou, contributing to the transformation and upgrading of local industries.

3、 Key measures of "relying on technological innovation to drive transformation and upgrading"

Unify thinking, enhance understanding, and strengthen the sense of responsibility and urgency in accelerating scientific and technological innovation work.

Actively creating a favorable environment for enterprise innovation, strengthening policy guidance and incentives, fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of all parties, striving to create favorable conditions for enterprise innovation, and maximizing the vitality of enterprise innovation.

Deepen mechanism construction, strengthen scientific research system management, lead enterprise scientific and technological innovation work to further improve the current scientific and technological management system, and build a scientific and technological management framework with clear rights and responsibilities and innovation guidance;  Based on strategy, optimize the technical roadmap for specialized development, and guide the scientific and technological innovation work of enterprises.

4、 Optimize resource allocation, increase investment in science and technology, and provide solid support for scientific and technological innovation work

Strengthen the budget management of scientific research expenses, enhance the training of core technology R&D talents and the construction of innovation teams, and form a reasonable structure that is connected, orderly, and matched in tiers.

5、 Strengthen the cooperation between industry, academia and research, promote the improvement of process technology level and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.

Actively carry out "industry university research" cooperation around the development direction and requirements of product technology in the three major business sectors, promote the improvement of enterprise process technology level and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and form an industrial scale.

6、 By establishing a technology innovation alliance, we can concentrate on leveraging the technological advantages of the industry.

Relying on the construction of the Engineering Technology Research Center, building a technology innovation alliance, strengthening specialized division of labor, forming an industrial chain of mutual cooperation and linkage development, and improving the ability and level of serving users.  If industrial transformation and upgrading are compared to a long-distance running sport, then the comparison is endurance and willpower.  At present, China's machinery manufacturing industry is in an important stage of transformation and upgrading. Most companies may experience muscle pain in the short term, but they do not feel much stronger. Zhongsheng firmly believes that as long as they persist, there will be breakthroughs!
