XCMG’s “x-creator” challenge with the theme of “protecting life with science and technology” attracted 2978 contestants and teams from China, Brazil, the Philippines, the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong and other countries and regions around the world. Recently, the competition ended in Xugong, Jiangsu Province. What attracts our attention is the 40 final works of the industrial proposition track. More than 50% of the works are guided by practical pain points and problems, apply AI, Internet, Internet of things and various advanced technologies, focus on green, intelligent and sustainable development, and have strong landing.
intelligent manufacturing solutions are emerging to seize the commanding height of future industrial technology
Once the work of “sky landing rescue road system” was released, the whole audience attracted attention and won the best Creation Award of “the most dazzling black technology” in one fell swoop. “This is an unmanned intelligent road machinery solution, integrating on-site command, energy supply, road dredging, intelligent and unmanned emergency construction,” said designer Li tiebin. “I hope the product R & D and design can be integrated into the whole disaster relief business system to better play a timely and effective role in disaster relief.”
As an important part of XCMG’s green public welfare brand, the green innovative design competition has been successfully held for two times. This year, XCMG upgraded the event to the “x-creator” challenge, taking the practical problems in the field of emergency rescue as the theme direction, and jointly unlock the hollow problem of China’s construction machinery development.
“Design innovation itself is a creative activity with the organic unity of technology, culture, market and environment. It has increasingly become an indispensable key link in the national innovation system.” Li Ning, deputy director of the industrial culture development center of the Ministry of industry and information technology, said in his speech.
It is understood that the winning works of this competition show a very high professional level, integrate low-carbon and green cutting-edge technologies such as lightweight, modularization and new energy into the design, and carry out disruptive innovation in industrial design.
Zhu sendi, member of the national manufacturing Power Construction Strategy Advisory Committee, affirmed the competition. “The competition provides a path for the combination of teaching and practice and the integration of industry and education, which is gratifying and worth summarizing and carrying forward.”
“We should integrate the design concept, design thinking and methods into the building of heavy weapons in large countries, so as to strengthen the humanistic care of manufacturing, which will greatly enhance the confidence of Chinese design.” Liu Guanzhong, the first batch of senior liberal arts professor and doctoral supervisor of Tsinghua University, said that design is to serve the people. We should pay attention to the pain points of rescue, scientific and technological application and life safety.
It is reported that the competition set up five awards, including excellent guidance award, the most potential award, the most creative award, the best Creation Award and the chairman’s scholarship, and set up a total bonus of 2.05 million and an industrial transformation fund pool of 10 million to solicit works around the world to explore and solve the problems of emergency rescue equipment.
product innovation becomes a butterfly and accelerates the industrialization of design value
“The entries focus on pain points and problems, and fully grasp the commanding heights of engineering machinery, rescue equipment and other technologies and design, so the products created are not only dazzling, but also high.” Guan Ming, President of Jiangsu Industrial Design Association, evaluated the competition works around design innovation, design path and industrialization degree.
The title of the best Creation Award of “the strongest Guardian force · design of geological disaster rescue equipment” is collected by the Nanjing Training Corps of the fire and Rescue Bureau. During the sharing process, contestants LV Bing and Luo Jiagui mentioned that their work “Noah’s Ark” comes from actual combat needs, solves the difficulties and pain points in the rescue process, and has modular and standardized product characteristics, so that the product has high practicality. It is expected that it will realize industrialization with XCMG next year.
“The key to the neck problem in the safety emergency equipment industry lies in the equipment manufacturing industry.” At the scene, Qu Guosheng, director of the science and Technology Committee of China Earthquake Emergency Search and rescue center, introduced the opportunities and challenges of the development of safety emergency equipment by expounding the principle of earthquake, and fully affirmed the necessity of this competition.
“In the future, we should combine creative products with actual combat, which can be realized in actual combat, so that our emergency rescue equipment has reached a big level.” XCMG Co., Ltd., Xcmg Construction Machinery Co.Ltd(000425) chairman and Party Secretary Wang Min are full of confidence in the future of China’s emergency rescue industry.
It is reported that this competition is jointly sponsored by XCMG, China Academy of work safety and the industrial culture development center of the Ministry of industry and information technology. Tsinghua University, Huazhong University of science and technology, Zhejiang University, Tongji University, Jiangnan University and other global universities are the co organizers of the competition.
