“Finally did not disappoint everyone, also did not disappoint myself!” Faced with reporters, 23-year-old Shen Ziyu said with emotion.

IC697CPM790-GD In the final of the fourth National Intelligent Manufacturing Application Technology Skills Competition that ended in December last year, Shen Ziyu and his partner Xu Hualong, who is 10 years older, completed the game for five hours without mistakes and finally won the precision mold intelligent manufacturing system application technology project champion. This also allowed Shen Ziyu and his partner Xu Hualong to win the honorary title of “National Technical Expert” after joining the mining machinery division of Xugong Group Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. for less than two years.

Behind the halo is a daily grind. The two young people, the combination of operators and craftsmen, are the representatives of the army of “digital craftsmen” in the new era of Xugong.

IC697CPM790-GD In 2020, Shen Ziyu graduated from Jiangsu Safety Technical Vocational College and entered Xugong to become an operator in a CNC machining center. When he was a student, he was called a “small craftsman” by his teachers and classmates, and he made a secret determination on the first day of his post: He must do something like it. He studied hard, actively put forward suggestions for improvement, took the initiative to solve technical problems, and quickly stood out.

After the progressive job training in the workshop, the company included him in the third echelon of high-skill talents and became a key training object.

IC697CPM790-GD Seeing that the old masters who have the honor of “National technical expert” and “National Youth post expert” have always maintained the spirit of climbing the peak and the enthusiasm of forging ahead, Shen Ziyu made a secret determination: “We must be as strict as them, practical, motivated and innovative, and play a key core role in the post!”

“The more complex the shape of the product, the higher the machining accuracy and the greater the difficulty factor.” Shen Ziyu, who knows that “numerical control” is a highly accurate technical work, can now not only operate all the vertical, horizontal, CNC double-sided boring and milling machining center equipment in the workshop, but also master the program theory and equipment principle, and constantly improve the operation skills to improve the operation accuracy.

The growth of Xu Hualong, who is not a trained man, benefited from the company’s vigorous promotion of the “intelligent manufacturing 4.0” factory construction, and he constantly studied and designed an automated process equipment that integrates pressure monitoring and warning, automatic measurement and alignment functions. At the same time, Xu Hualong led the team to adapt to the needs of digital development, developed the reverse deformation control “wave milling” processing technology, designed special eccentric reverse milling cutter, improved more than 20 sets of process equipment, declared 6 patents, and won the title of “Advanced individual” in 2020.

IC697CPM790-GD At present, intelligent manufacturing calls for “digital craftsmen”, calling for the digital skills of “four or two dials” and the craftsman spirit of “tens of thousands of hammer into one.” With the maturity and application of 5G, artificial intelligence, digital twin, big data integration and other new generation information technologies, Xugong is realizing lean green high-end intelligent manufacturing with less humanization, automation and flexibility in production.

IC697CPM790-GD “We are not traditional workers or scientists, but pioneers of the digital age.” Shen Ziyu and Xu Hualong believe that through digital technology and team collaboration, we should constantly promote the integration and innovation of traditional industry and the Internet, and cultivate “digital craftsmen” and new excellent engineers who are proficient in professional skills of the industry and digital skills.

They are spirited, sober and confident. “The champion is only an honor in life, and Xugong’s intelligent manufacturing is a broader stage for me.” Xu Hualong said. Shen Ziyu said: “With the continuous upgrading of intelligent manufacturing, as a front-line worker, I will continue to improve myself, help more people improve their skill level, and contribute wisdom to the development of enterprises.”
