Jointly sponsored by the Innovation and Talent Development Department of Siemens China Digital Industry Group, the Steering Committee of Automation Teaching in higher Education Institutions of the Ministry of Education, and China Machine Press, the first 2021 College Motion Control (Inverter) Teaching Seminar and teacher Training Conference was successfully held online on December 18, 2021. This event attracted the participation of more than 3,600 online viewers and the interaction of more than 400 teachers, and was the first national training and seminar held by the Education Advisory Commission of the Ministry of Education for the teaching direction of “motion control”.

As we all know, industrial automation, as a high-end manufacturing technology, is the key to achieve China’s transformation from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power, and motion control technology, as the core of automation, has played a pivotal role. Cultivating a new generation of innovative composite high-end talents urgently needed for scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation has also become a major task of automation discipline education. Against the backdrop of this era, this meeting is highly relevant and timely.

“Smart manufacturing has become an important trend in industrial automation, of which motion control is a key component and the core of future manufacturing.” Li Shaoyuan, deputy director of the Automation Teaching Steering Committee of higher Education institutions of the Ministry of Education, said when delivering a leadership speech.

As a leading company in the fields of manufacturing and infrastructure for more than 170 years, and a practitioner of engineering and dual education in Germany, Siemens has always attached importance to talent development and cooperation with the education sector. “Siemens General motion Control products are based on common international standards and are derived from decades of deep knowledge of the automation industry, which is widely used in steel, electronics, logistics and other industries.” Qiao Weimin said, “The development of technology has promoted the changes in the requirements of engineers in the industry, and to shorten the distance between talent training and enterprise needs is inseparable from the sincere cooperation between colleges and enterprises.”
