Pudong's robotics industry enters a new stage of development in quality certification
Robots are known as the "crown jewel of the manufacturing industry". Their research and development, manufacturing and application are important indicators of a country's scientific and technological innovation and high-end manufacturing level. In May this year, the "Pudong New Area Robot Industry" was approved as the second batch of national and the first regional pilot project for the quality management system improvement action for small and micro enterprises in Shanghai. On June 25, the pilot project was officially launched.
The reporter learned that Zhangjiang Robot Valley, on which the pilot project is based, was established in November 2020. After more than three years of empowerment and development, it has brought together dozens of industry-leading companies such as ABB, Fourier Intelligence, and Minimally Invasive Medical Robotics, as well as more than 100 high-quality small and medium-sized enterprises. The operating income of Robot Valley exceeded 44 billion yuan, with a total of 785 companies settled in the valley, and the number of industry-related companies accounted for more than 50% of Shanghai. Among them, the revenue of the robot specialty industry was 13.012 billion yuan, and it has the hardware conditions and software foundation for the improvement of the entire robot industry chain.
The launch of the pilot project marks that it will be closely integrated with the development of the robotics industry through quality certification, helping companies in the upstream and downstream industrial chains of robots to improve their quality management capabilities and market competitiveness, and further promote the high-quality development of the robotics industry in Pudong New Area. Fourier Intelligence is a general robot platform company. In 2022, by introducing professional institutions, it conducted a comprehensive analysis and improvement of its new product production process. The company passed the ISO14001 environmental management system, ISO45001 occupational health and safety management system certification, and the annual supervision and audit of the ISO13485 system, reducing production costs and improving production efficiency. In 2022, Fourier Intelligence's output value was 50.08 million yuan, and in 2023 it reached 87 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 73.7%.
At the launching ceremony, 8 small and micro enterprises were awarded as excellent practice cases of Shanghai's small and micro enterprise quality management system certification promotion action, of which 2 small and micro enterprises were from Pudong. In recent years, Pudong New Area has steadily promoted the small and micro enterprise quality management system certification promotion action based on quality certification, and has served more than 600 enterprises, helped enterprises pass more than 30 certifications, 4 passed Shanghai brand certification, and 1 enterprise was approved to set up the Shanghai Medical Robot Quality Inspection and Testing Center.
At present, the Pudong New Area Market Supervision Bureau has worked with representatives of certification agencies and park representatives to create a brand project with the "Party Building e-Bridge" alliance to promote industrial development through "group-style" services, signed a "Memorandum of Cooperation", and carried out "diagnosis-style" quality professional training and guidance for small and medium-sized enterprises, helping enterprises to carry out management system certification, characteristic quality brand cultivation, and chief quality officer cultivation throughout the process. At the same time, the first batch of NQI service stations in Shanghai and the first in Pudong were established - Zhangjiang Robot Valley Quality Infrastructure "One-Stop" Service Station, and the "Zhangjiang Robot Valley Quality Infrastructure One-Stop Service Specification Group Standard" was launched, forming a "shop assistant" service list covering park management, quality infrastructure, talent training and financial support.
