On February 11, 2022, "Shandong connects with The World's Top 500" cooperation event for high-end equipment industry was held in Shandong Mansion. Zhang Haibo, secretary of shandong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, introduced the development of Shandong high-end equipment industry and key fields of foreign cooperation at the meeting.

He pointed out that high-end equipment is the cornerstone of manufacturing development and an important symbol to measure the comprehensive strength of a country and region. Over the years, Shandong has unwaveringly encouraged and supported the development of the real economy, increased policy support, improved the public service system, and created a first-class business environment. The development of high-end equipment manufacturing industry in Shandong has achieved good results, playing an important role in promoting the construction of a modern and strong province in the new era.

Scale strength in the forefront of the country. Shandong province has a complete range of equipment industry and rich product categories. The industrial scale of many sub-industries ranks among the top in China. Among them, agricultural machinery, machinery base parts and casting industries rank first in China. The three industries of construction machinery, internal combustion engine and medical equipment rank second in China. The automobile industry ranks third in China. In 2021, there are 9,688 equipment manufacturing enterprises above designated scale in the province, with a revenue of 2.4 trillion yuan, ranking the fourth in China. Among them, the revenue of high-end equipment manufacturing reaches 1 trillion yuan, and the added value accounts for 46.4% of the equipment industry. High-end equipment products such as large tractors, industrial robots, new energy vehicles, integrated circuits and optoelectronic devices saw rapid growth, with growth rates of 24.8 percent, 38.7 percent, 97.7 percent, 65.2 percent and 73.1 percent respectively.

Enterprises' innovation capacity has significantly increased. A total of 8 high-end equipment manufacturing innovation centers at provincial level or above, 141 industrial design centers, 187 single champion manufacturing enterprises, 22 national technological innovation demonstration enterprises, three achievements won the first prize of national Science and Technology Progress, and the first 1,443 sets of major technological equipment and key components were developed and promoted. The world's first break 51% thermal efficiency of diesel engine, the surface of the fastest speed of 600 kilometers of high-speed maglev test vehicle type, the world's first 4500 Apollo turbine fracturing truck and a half, the world's most powerful direct-drive permanent magnet wind turbine, the world is running with the highest seismic grade uhv large capacity of converter transformer, the world's largest austenitic stainless steel forging ring, Shandong high-end equipment repeatedly "world first"; Blue Whale 1, Blue Whale 2, Deep Blue 1, Asia's largest intelligent luxury passenger rolling ship, 350,000 tons of offshore floating production storage and unloading device, and a number of major Chinese vessels have been delivered into service. China's first intelligent snow wax car with complete intellectual property rights officially served the Beijing Winter Olympics snow and ice events.

The degree of industrial agglomeration continues to rise. A total of 11 provincial "flying geese" industrial clusters have been cultivated, and two industrial clusters including rail transit equipment and intelligent home appliances have been selected as national advanced manufacturing clusters. Jinan CNC machine tools, power equipment, new energy vehicles; Qingdao's rail transit, robot and additive manufacturing, intelligent home appliance equipment; Yantai's Marine equipment and nuclear power equipment; Weifang power equipment; Dongying oil equipment; Linyi City, Jining city construction machinery equipment, Zaozhuang city small and medium-sized machine tools; Bearing parts and other characteristic industrial clusters in Liaocheng have developed vigorously, forming a new development pattern of high-end equipment industry led by Jinan, Qingdao and Yantai, and supported by the industrial belt along jiaojia-Jinan and Beijing-Shanghai railway.

The resilience of the industrial chain has been improved. Last year, the Shandong provincial government accelerated the implementation of 42 key industrial chains, high-end equipment accounted for 7, respectively: automobile, construction machinery, agricultural machinery equipment, NUMERICAL control machine tools, hydrogen fuel cells, Marine equipment and rail transit equipment. Shandong province by establishing the "chain Lord" led by leading enterprises, the industrial chain alliance cooperation in four working mechanism, accurate map "one map + N list", provinces and municipalities to carry out the repair chain extending chain integrated strong chain operations, planning more than 100 key projects, agglomeration produced a large number of specialization, the new small and medium-sized enterprises, further enhance the stability of the industrial chain of the supply chain. The comprehensive strength of major chain enterprises such as Weichai, Sinotruk, Lingong, Shantui, Levo, II Machine Tool and CIMC Raves is constantly improving. The domestic market share of diesel engines and large numerical control stamping equipment ranks first, and the domestic market share of heavy trucks and high-horsepower tractors ranks second.

Digital empowerment is effective. Shandong adhere to the direction of intelligent manufacturing, the high-level construction of industrial Internet, in-depth promotion of "ten thousand technological transformation, ten thousand enterprise transformation", the digital rate of production equipment of industrial enterprises, the key process of numerical control rate, digital r & D design tools penetration rate reached 55.9%, 58.2%, 86.6% respectively. 12 projects were shortlisted as national intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstration factories, ranking second in China; 21 projects have been shortlisted as national intelligent manufacturing excellent scenes, the number of which ranks first in China. The 143 provincial-level intelligent factories (digital workshops) with emphasis on cultivation and construction have improved production efficiency by 29%, energy efficiency by 19%, operating cost by 25%, product research and development cycle by 35%, product defect rate by 29% and energy consumption by 19% after upgrading.

Next, shandong will revolve around a new generation of information technology equipment, Marine engineering equipment and high technology, advanced shipping rail transportation equipment, intelligent manufacture equipment and aerospace equipment five strategic new equipment, new energy vehicles, high-grade CNC machine tools and robots, high-performance, high-end medical equipment energy equipment and intelligent agricultural equipment five special advantage equipment, And power equipment, such as hydrogen fuel cells, hydraulic system, bearing the core basic components, push forward strong chain repair chain, innovation of science and technology, intelligent manufacturing and green low carbon development, digital transformation, the high-end equipment manufacturing industry of equipment industry in 2025 to more than 50%, the proportion of build the national first-class, the world famous high-end equipment manufacturing base.
