"Looking back at the 13th Five-Year Plan and looking forward to the 14th Five-Year Plan" series of reports No. 2-Innovation tide is surging.

From "imitation innovation" to "original innovation", from small to small to hard scientific and technological innovation to fill the gap in China, from single-point innovation to systematic integration innovation, as a private enterprise seeking survival from the cracks and standing out in the market competition of big waves, innovation is Zonsen's background from scratch, its roots from small to large, and its innate genes.

From "imitation innovation" to "original innovation", from small to small to hard scientific and technological innovation to fill the gap in China, from single-point innovation to systematic integration innovation, as a private enterprise seeking survival from the cracks and standing out in the market competition of big waves, innovation is Zonsen's background from scratch, its roots from small to large, and its innate genes.

Advocating innovative culture, the founder of the enterprise bowed in.

Comrade Mao Zedong said in "On Practice", "If you want to know the taste of pears, you have to change the pears and stutter". At Zonsen, Sekron R & D engineers ride and test every new car they design.

Not only engineers, but also senior executives should participate in the riding. Liu Gang, general manager of Zonsen Locomotive Company, personally led the research and development team to conduct long-distance riding tests and put forward suggestions for improvement in all aspects of the performance of the sample car. Engineers and executives have to ride tests themselves because the boss will ride tests themselves. Mr. Zuo Zonsen, the founder of the enterprise, who has won various honors for many times, still maintains the passion and diligence of starting a business, and adheres to the management style of doing everything in detail and hands-on. Especially in terms of technological innovation, Mr. Zuo Zonsen personally presided over the special meeting on product research and development and the special meeting on global collaborative research and development system, and personally participated in the review of product project initiation, scheme design (effect diagram, sludge model principle prototype, etc.), detailed design (engineering prototype vehicle/machine) and product listing. Mr. Zuo Zonsen, who has been immersed in products for many years, has a deeper understanding of product research and development and technological innovation than ordinary people. He has a keen eye for defects in various details. If the product does not meet his requirements, he will not sign his name in the product type approval form.

He presided over the design of Zonsen101 production lines, sketched the blueprint of Zonsen Innovation Research Institute, and planned the establishment of a new era of Zonsen's "Advanced Manufacturing Internet". At the same time, he also led Zonsen's wave of innovation.

"We don't want to be arrogant, we don't want to be a frog in a well, we don't want to be a modern Ah Q; we want to accept new ideas, we want to establish a new culture, we want to set new goals". This is a warning that Mr. Zuo Zonsen always uses to urge Zonsen people to never be satisfied and innovate continuously, and it is also the driving force to promote Zonsen's innovation.

Build a platform for innovation and stick to long-term doctrine.

The innovation journey of enterprises has always been a protracted war of accumulation. Zonsen focused on the key core technology of small and medium-sized power, "gnawing hard bones", long-term heavy asset investment, after more than 20 years, built two generations of technology center, to create the industry's leading technology innovation platform.

Zonsen Innovation Research Institute (Technology Center) was first built in 1999 with a total investment of 0.3 billion yuan; in 2013, a new generation of technology center was built with a total investment of nearly 0.5 billion yuan, and it was officially put into use in June 2016.

Around the whole life cycle of product research and development, Zonsen Innovation Research Institute has built three core functional modules of design, trial production and test. In the design module, 30 professional design offices have been built, 100 of which cover digital design, analog assembly, simulation analysis and other industrial design means and tools, greatly improving the efficiency of product research and development and design. In the trial production module, since 2003, FDM technology has been applied to build rapid prototyping manufacturing capabilities and 3D modular flexible welding capabilities. So far, the application of second generation (FDM), third generation (SLA), fourth generation (SLS) and fifth generation (SLM) technologies has been established in terms of rapid prototyping (3D) printing manufacturing capability, covering the trial production of rapid prototyping of plastic and metal materials. In terms of test modules, more than 40 product integration evaluation laboratories and more than 30 system evaluation laboratories have been constructed, covering 8 domestic and international regulatory test requirements and more than 400 performance test requirements, a comprehensive and standardized test system is formed.

Zonsen Innovation Research Institute (Technology Center) set up a postdoctoral research workstation in 2003, became a nationally recognized enterprise technology center in 2004, entered the national laboratory list in 2005, became a national industrial design center in 2017, and became a new high-end research and development institution and key laboratory of aviation piston engine in Chongqing in 2018. Today, Zonsen Innovation Research Institute has become a hotbed for Zonsen series of hard technology products, which has strongly promoted Zonsen to upgrade its products and technologies in the fields of aviation hair, card issuing motor, fuel cell, wireless charging, new energy vehicle powertrain, miniaturized new energy commuter tools, high-end agricultural machinery and equipment, etc.

According to statistics, Zonsen technology research and development investment exceeds 3% of revenue, far exceeding the average level of Chongqing and even the national industrial enterprises. It is precisely because of adhering to the spirit of long-term doctrine, high-level fighting, and large-scale investment that Zonsen has led to capture the commanding heights of industry technology and enter the "no man's land" of hard core innovation ".

Exploring Innovation Models to Promote Open Sharing and Collaborative Innovation

There is an innovative platform, innovative ideas, and more need to be guaranteed by an innovative system and model. On April 28, 2021, at the "2020 Zhibo Cup China (Chongqing) Industrial Design Competition Award Ceremony", the 5MW offshore wind turbine design project of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation won the Supreme Award and won a gold of 1 million yuan! This is one of the cases in which Zonsen's Hu Mi Network builds a bridge between enterprises, creators, capital, scientific research and other parties to promote collaborative innovation.

Shen Tao, general manager of Chongqing Humi Industrial Design Company, said that the Humi Industrial Design Platform is positioned as a global resource collaborative design platform. At present, it has gathered 1000 industry experts to guide it online, 20000 domestic and foreign designers to share it, covering the entire industrial chain of five major design services, laying out 10 incubation parks in 34 provinces and cities across the country, creating 100 design training courses and 60 enterprise training bases. This industrial design platform is committed to realizing the aggregation, sharing, innovation and empowerment of global industrial design resources, improving the efficiency of design project collaboration and reducing the application cost of enterprise design tools, realizing the cultivation, incubation and retention of industrial design talents, and striving to build the largest scale in the western region. An industrial design industry cluster with first-class domestic incubation capabilities and service levels.

At the same time, Zonsen Innovation Research Institute actively promotes the design cooperation alliance system, successfully cooperates with 4 foreign enterprises, 10 colleges and universities to establish industry-university-research alliances, 20 design institutions and 50 key core technology parts enterprises to establish design alliances, fully integrating innovative talents and innovative resources. Enterprises joining the alliance can invite top experts to solve key problems on the innovation research institute platform through contracting, and can also apply for the use of high-end research and development equipment and facilities on the input platform, such as using the top 3D printer of Zonsen innovation research institute to print new parts.

Innovation is not a short-term strategy, nor is it a point project. The ultimate goal of the platform interaction mechanism between Zonsen Innovation Research Institute and HumeNet is to establish a mutually empowering innovation support network, a continuous innovation mechanism of parallel iteration, and a shared innovation ecology.

Gather innovative talents and take more measures to activate innovation vitality

The talented, the material also, raises the precious element, makes the precious device. The essence of innovation-driven is talent-driven.

Zonsen Innovation Research Institute and its subordinate companies have nearly 2,000 technical R & D personnel, including foreign experts from Italy and other countries. How does Zonsen enable these innovative talents to work together to build the core force that enables energy transformation?

First of all, Zonsen has established a dual-channel of rank promotion design (design management/professional) and a corresponding rank & salary matching scheme for innovative talents, giving technical R & D talents a clear expectation of career growth;

Zonsen also introduced foreign experts from Italy, Austria, Canada, Germany, Belarus and other countries through the mode of "technical partner" to enrich the expert team of Innovation Research Institute;

Zonsen, led by model workers with strong innovation ability and May 1st Labor Medal winners, set up a model worker studio to actively carry out technological research, invention and creation, scientific and technological innovation, and technical training activities. Among them, the "Liu Yong Labor Model Innovation Studio" led by the national labor model Liu Yong broke through a number of technical bottlenecks in the trial production of aero-engine parts and components, and was awarded the "Chongqing Liu Yong Labor Model Innovation Studio" by the Chongqing Federation of Trade Unions in 2019 ";

Zonsen gives innovation leaders greater power over people and property, the right to decide on technical routes, Zonsen also links wireless charging, Zonsen new motors and other projects, technically to achieve domestic first, industry-leading, Zonsen to give technology inventors lead equity incentives. The same equity reform pilot is also implemented in companies such as Humi Net and Zonsen Hangfa. The value of "creating and sharing together" allows innovative talents to enjoy the dividends of Zonsen's development;

In terms of stimulating the vitality of talent innovation, in addition to equity incentives, Zonsen also has new measures such as sales profit commission, crowdfunding participation in product research and development, and a knowledge value-oriented incentive mechanism. By encouraging trial and error and exploration, Zonsen Group attracts, stably and effectively encourages innovative talents, plants fertile soil for talent development, continuously creates an innovative culture, and allows "dream chasers" to pursue their dreams, let the "Striver" do something......

Build a manufacturing culture in focus, and sharpen the spirit of craftsmen in deep cultivation. Today, Zonsen has become the largest and most complete small-scale thermal power machinery manufacturing enterprise in China. Zonsen is not only making great achievements in technological innovation, but also making dreams come true step by step in the exploration of innovation models, the gathering of innovative talents, and the construction of innovation ecology.
