Jointly sponsored by Ningbo Smart Manufacturing Association, Ningbo Administration and Service Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship and Ningbo Siasun Robots Technology Co. Ltd., Ningbo Smart Equipment Application and Innovation Forum was held recently at Ningbo National Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone. The scholars, experts and enterprise representatives had a comprehensive discussion on the theme of smart equipment innovation, with the aim of promoting the in-depth docking and cooperation between production and research.

At the forum, six experts and scholars delivered theme lectures on such topics as "smart equipment development and digitalized manufacturing" and "robot-driven manufacturing model reforms". According to them, the robot manufacturing field in China currently suffers from the surplus of low-end industries and shortage of high-end research & development. "The manufacturing industry in Ningbo is in great need of smart transformation. To avoid the downward trend of the high-end industries, Ningbo should pay more attention to the demand of the manufacturing industry, make good use of the local R&D resources and realize the smart transformation." said Li Zhenggang, General Manager of Hangzhou Siasun Robot Automation Co. Ltd.

Also at the forum, seven institutions, including Ningbo Administration and Service Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Ningbo Siasun Robot Technology Co. Ltd. and Ningbo Institute of Industrial Technology, CAS, signed the demonstration cooperative projects to promote the smart transformation standard of Ningbo
