Yun Nei Dynamics: "A Four-Cycle" Building a New R & D Pattern in China

From the end of the 1960s, the Institute of Internal Combustion Engines of Yunnan Internal Combustion Engine Factory was formally established. In the 1970s, the Institute developed a supporting 495T diesel engine and gas engine, and in the 1990s, it used the 4100QB diesel engine to knock on the Shenzhen Gate, and in recent years a series of The successful development of new products and its introduction into the market, the technology center of Kunming Yunnei Power Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Yunnet Power”) has come more than half a century.

However, due to the weak industrial foundation and difficult technological breakthroughs, Yunnei Power is the most “young” among the 16 companies that Kunming has obtained from the National Enterprise Technology Center. In spite of this, its "one four-centre" enterprise technology center model has built a nationwide R&D structure.

In the middle of this month, at the Kunnei Power Kunming headquarters technical center, Zhang Haifeng, director of the company's Science and Technology and Information Department, briefed the reporter on the "four centers" specific structure. The so-called “One Department” is the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the R&D work of the Technology Center is coordinated; the “Four Centers” include the Kunming Technology Center, the Eastern Technology Center, the Chengdu Gas Technology Center, and the Shandong Technology Center.

Yunnei Power has built 4 technology centers nationwide

Specifically, the Kunming Technology Center, as the main body of the enterprise technology center, has changed the research and development of technologies for commercial vehicles, passenger car diesel engines and its ancillary equipment, and changed the technology to the main; the eastern technology center in Wuxi has focused on the introduction of engine-related projects. Jointly developed hybrid and post-processing systems; Chengdu Gas Technology Center relies on local resources and is mainly responsible for the R&D and testing of natural gas engines , diesel/gasoline and natural gas dual-fuel engines; Shandong Technical Center relies on the huge non-road market in the region and The opportunity for the implementation of the third and fourth phase emissions regulations for non-road engines is devoted to the development and testing of non-road engines.

“The four technical centers have different positioning, but they are established based on local technology, resources, and market advantages. Their layout focuses on even larger markets across the country.” Zhang Haifeng introduced that Wuxi’s Eastern Technology Center is now In cooperation with the company, we have established electronically controlled ECU R&D companies, product design joint ventures, engine and vehicle calibration joint ventures, new energy vehicle powertrain research and development companies, etc., attracting and cultivating more high-level talents, and have become Yunnei's dynamic product research and development. And the frontier of new technology innovation.

However, product development and technological innovation are not an easy task. For this reason, Zhang Haifeng, who had been working in Yunnei in 1992, clearly has a profound experience. In the combustion development laboratory, Zhang Haifeng told reporters that the lab mainly tests engine performance, engine calibration, thermodynamic development, powertrain performance, etc., and will perform cold start under various extreme conditions, for example, minus 27 degrees, with continuous operation of 1200. Hours etc. - Repeated tests. In general, it takes at least 3 years from product development to mass production.

Talking about plans for the future, Zhang Haifeng revealed that the company’s “13th Five-Year Plan” has been basically finalized. As far as enterprise technology centers are concerned, “two cores and two assemblies” can be used to summarize the goals of the next five years. “Modular development of the engine electronic control unit development and post-processing system is the core of the company's R&D for the next five years. The engine automatic transmission assembly and the hybrid powertrain are the technical challenges the company is committed to solving.” Zhang Haifeng stated that “two "The core, two assembly" problem, cloud power can have more power in the fierce market competition.

DOD machines means that Drop On Demand machines which adopts the better method of ink supply than traditional printing. 

The DOD machines of Yuanmingjie Technology has multiple functions, like UV print, UID number read, magnetic stripe encoding, M1 card password change, data writing or OCR data detection. It could be customized for different needs of smart card companies or manufacturers.
