The running Xiangjiang River draws a beautiful U-shaped arc in Xiangtan, Hunan Province, known as the "First Bay of the Xiangjiang River". At the intersection of Lianshui River and Xiangjiang River, Yuetang District of Xiangtan City, the core area of Changzhutan Rongcheng and the location of the "green heart", has been bred.

Yuetang District has convenient transportation. There are a number of state-owned large and medium-sized enterprises with a long history, such as Xianggang and Xiangdian, in the area under its jurisdiction, and the industrial foundation is solid. In recent years, Yuetang District, based on its advantages, has actively cultivated and developed new quality productivity, and continued to promote the transformation and upgrading of the old industrial base. It has now formed four distinctive industrial sectors: intelligent manufacturing, finance and commerce, commercial logistics, and culture, tourism, health and wellness. Among them, the intelligent manufacturing industry has achieved a good momentum of cluster development of high-quality steel and new materials industry chain driven by large enterprises.

Yuetang District, located in the "green heart" and advancing by "green", is taking scientific and technological innovation as the guide, making every effort to create a "new card" of the old industrial city, and injecting new momentum into the high-quality development of the local economy and society.

Adhere to scientific and technological innovation

Let enterprises become the main body of innovation

Entering the assembly workshop of Xiangdian Heavy Equipment Co., Ltd., the production line is running at full speed.

In February this year, the world's first 220 ton pure electric mining dump truck independently developed by Xiangdian Group was successfully rolled off the production line and entered the stage of industrial trial operation. "The orders received now, plus the 120 ton ones, total more than 120 sets, and the annual production plan has been fully covered," said Yang Bo, chairman of the company.

Mining transport vehicles have large load bearing capacity and long operation time, which require high mechanical strength and system stability. The 220 ton pure electric mining dump truck developed by the Group has full independent intellectual property rights and is mainly used for rock stripping and mineral transportation of large open pit coal mines and metal mines, as well as the construction of large water conservancy hubs.

Yang Bo introduced that this model uses a battery capacity of more than 2900kWh, breaking the limit of 2900kWh for the first time in the world. At the same time, in order to reduce the charging time and improve the operating efficiency, 3MW DC fast charging technology is used, which enables full load operation for about 8 hours after one hour of charging, and zero carbon dioxide emissions. The vehicle adopts the national electric transmission system, and its dynamic response performance exceeds that of traditional fuel vehicles, effectively reducing energy consumption.

"Taking coal mining as an example, if diesel vehicles are used, the mining cost of each ton of coal is about 4 to 7 yuan, but if this pure tram is used, the cost can be reduced to 0.6 to 0.8 yuan." Yang Bo gave an example. He said that the use of this model will strongly promote the mining transportation industry to move towards a green, low-carbon and sustainable development direction, and have a positive impact on the entire industrial chain.

This is one of the achievements of XEMC in accelerating the construction of an energy-saving and efficient, green and environment-friendly, digital and intelligent, high-end and modern development system closely around the national "double carbon" strategy in recent years.

In Yuetang, there is more than one example of promoting manufacturing to "intelligent manufacturing" through scientific and technological innovation.

The newly developed 1300 MPa ultra-high strength structural steel plate of Xianggang Group can reduce the weight of construction machinery equipment by 10%, and reduce the driving fuel consumption and working fuel consumption by 3% to 5%; 33 enterprises including Xiangtan Electric Co., Ltd. and Hunan Xianggang Ruitai Technology Co., Ltd. have successfully established 44 intelligent production lines; 45 enterprises such as Jinbei Electrical Electromagnetic Wire Co., Ltd. and Hunan Xianggang Metal Material Technology Co., Ltd. have created 255 intelligent stations

In recent years, Yuetang District has strongly supported enterprises to carry out technological breakthrough and product research and development in new materials, new energy and other aspects, leading industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, making enterprises become the main body of innovation, and accumulating stamina and increasing vitality for high-quality economic and social development.

According to the data provided by the science and technology and industrial informatization department of the district, there will be 17 provincial engineering technology research centers, 1 national key laboratory, 7 provincial key laboratories, 9 national specialized, special and new "little giant" enterprises, 67 provincial specialized, special and new small and medium-sized enterprises in the district in 2023, and 93 scientific and technological achievements will be registered at or above the provincial level throughout the year, The turnover of technology contracts exceeded 16.6 billion yuan.

Strengthen digital empowerment

Promote industrial transformation and upgrading

Aiming at the new track of "digital economy", Yuetang District has been focusing on industrial digitalization and digital industrialization to gather momentum and empower and continue to make efforts in recent years.

Weihong Food Co., Ltd., founded in 1999, is an old agricultural enterprise in Yuetang Economic Development Zone. At the end of last year, the company completed the construction of the cold chain logistics information management system, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of goods delivery.

"The annual throughput of the company's cold chain logistics is 200000 tons, which is a large number. Previously, the delivery of goods had to be filled out manually, and four bill openers were busy and prone to errors. Now, with the help of the information management system, not only the manual work was halved, but also the data was more accurate." Zhang Yehong, the head of the company's project department, told reporters that in the past, the company's production reports often took three to five days or even a week to come out, It is now available the same day, which is more convenient for cost accounting and helps enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Feeling the effects brought by digitalization, Weihong Food Company is still carrying out intelligent transformation on the slaughtering production line, which is expected to be completed in June this year.

"For traditional enterprises, the application of digital technology helps to improve production efficiency and optimize resource allocation." Liu Yaowen, director of Yuetang District Science and Technology Innovation Center, said that the district is vigorously promoting the digital transformation of enterprises, popularizing online marketing, remote collaboration, digital office, intelligent production lines and other digital technology applications, to help enterprises further enhance their comprehensive strength and market competitiveness.

Yuetang District has its own advantages in developing digital economy: talents, markets and industrial resources of Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan can radiate here; The industrial foundation is solid and the foundation is good. The "1+3" industrial system of Xiangtan Hi tech Zone's smart manufacturing valley has been constantly improved. Large parks and leading enterprises have played a prominent role in leading the digital transformation and upgrading of the industrial field.

There are also challenges behind the advantages. "For example, the regional synergy of industrialization is insufficient, the popularity of industry digitalization is not high, the innovation ecology of digital economy is relatively weak, and the support ability of digital talents is not enough." The relevant head of the industry and information department of Yuetang District said that, on the premise of fully recognizing its strengths and weaknesses, the district always adheres to the principle of basing itself on reality and adjusting measures to local conditions when developing new quality productivity.

Yuetang International Trade City, which was put into operation in 2019, was dominated by traditional businesses such as household appliances and general merchandise, beverage and non-staple food retail and wholesale in previous years, and its operation was poor. Today, the Trade City has adjusted its development strategy to take new media and digital marketing as the direction, and has successfully introduced more than 60 e-commerce live broadcast enterprises.

"For the development of the Trade City, we plan to make full use of the existing conditions and foundation to introduce and cultivate the digital industry, and then gradually promote the wide application and penetration of information technology in intelligent manufacturing, trade logistics, modern finance, cultural tourism and other fields." The relevant person in charge of the industry and information department of the zone said that only by consolidating the foundation of the digital industry step by step, Can create more favorable conditions for promoting the deep integration of digital economy and traditional industry.

Yuetang District's "14th Five Year Plan" digital economy development plan proposes that in the future, it will focus on building a leading area for high-quality development of intelligent manufacturing in the central region, a demonstration area for digital transformation of modern service industry in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan, a pilot area for digital governance in counties (districts) of Hunan Province, and a core area for digital economy industry in Xiangtan City. Fully release the vitality of digital technology innovation, drive development with data empowerment, and make digital economy an important support for high-quality economic and social development in the region.

The old industrial city on the bank of the Xiangjiang River is taking steady steps to multiply "numbers" and move towards "new"!
