In the context of Industry 4.0, robotics and smart equipment manufacturing are becoming “accelerators” for the rapid development of Guangdong and even the Pearl River Delta.

The Guangzhou Development Zone is a stormy eye for Industry 4.0. As the host of the China (Guangzhou) Intelligent Equipment and Robot Industry Development Conference held in 2016, the conference proposed that the development zone should be built into the nation’s largest and most competitive intelligent equipment and robot base.

In March of this year, the Guangdong Provincial Economic and Information Technology Commission announced the first batch of 15 backbone robot companies in Guangdong, and focused on nurturing Guangdong's own brand of robots. Among them, Guangzhou has five companies on the list, from the Guangzhou Development Zone, there are three, respectively, Guangzhou CNC, Ruisong technology and Guangzhou Kai-fan. Of the 29 robot companies focused on fostering in Guangdong, 13 companies are from Guangzhou, and most of them are concentrated in the Guangzhou Development Zone.

As the industry leader in the field of smart manufacturing in Guangzhou, currently the Guangzhou Development Zone has basically formed a complete industrial chain of intelligent equipment from the upstream key components, midstream to the downstream application integration.

At the same time, the three core groups of the China-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City, Yunpu Industrial Park and Huangpu Machinery Valley have been planned and constructed. The Huangpu Intelligent Equipment Industrial Park has been listed by the National Development and Reform Commission as one of the four key parks for China-Israel high-tech industrial cooperation. . The zone has introduced and cultivated a number of leading companies in the industry, forming a complete industrial chain from the upstream key components, the whole midstream to the downstream application integration, and possessing a number of facilities such as the China (Guangzhou) Intelligent Equipment Research Institute and the Pearl River Delta Research Institute of Tsinghua University. Professional R & D institution.

Li Hongwei, deputy director of the Administrative Committee of the Guangzhou Development Zone and head of Huangpu District, proposed at the meeting that in the future, the Guangzhou Development Zone will use the robot industry as the core to radiate the development of the smart equipment industry. In accordance with the development model of the “full industry chain”, a complete chain of R&D, design, manufacture, inspection, demonstration, and demonstration applications will be created. We will strive to quadruple the scale of the smart equipment and robotics industry in the region by 2020 and achieve an annual output value of 50 billion yuan, making it the first-class smart equipment and robot industry cluster in China.

Science & Technology Leaders Receive Up to 45.8 Million Yuan in "Growth Fund"

Talent is the key to the development of the industry. The introduction of the "1+7" science and technology policy and the "1+9" talent policy have allowed the scientific and technological talents in the development zone to devote themselves to scientific research without any worries.

The Guangzhou Development Zone encourages and supports robots and smart equipment manufacturing companies to vigorously introduce high-level scientific and technological talents and engineers and technicians at home and abroad. For example, for the first time academicians and experts who started business in the district, if they hold shares or entrust others to hold more than 30% of shares on their behalf (or academicians, experts, and research teams hold more than 50% of shares), they can enjoy a maximum of 2,000 square meters after their entry. , Rent subsidies for R&D venues for up to five years.

It is reported that at present, the district has formed a modular support system for "initiating funds + project funding", "finance subsidies + venture capital", "project support + superior support", "subsidized loan interest + credit financing" for the introduction of talents for science and technology. Throughout the entire process, the total funding for leading talent innovation and entrepreneurship reached a maximum of 45.8 million yuan.

In addition, GDD also grants entrepreneurial start-up capital of 1 million yuan to start-up start-up capital, up to 20 million in venture capital funding, and up to 5 million to 10 million yuan in research grants, and provides entrepreneurial carriers, financing loans, and project loan subsidies. , growth incentives, supporting scientific research projects, project land priority resettlement and market development funding support. In addition, there are corresponding incentive policies for international financial investment talents, business management talents, and key talents.

At the same time, the development zone also instructed 12 units including Guangzhou CNC, Guangzhou Machinery, Guangzhou Automobile Group and Guangzhou Wanbao Group to set up the “Guangzhou Industrial Robot Manufacturing and Application Industry Alliance”, mainly engaged in the R&D and manufacturing of industrial robots and related components in Guangzhou. , integrated applications, technical services and other institutions have formed a cooperative organization and have now played a role as a bridge linking the related companies and research institutions of the robotics industry in Guangzhou to promote collaborative innovation and development.

Study and set up a special fund for robot demonstration application

At present, the development zone is exploring the implementation of "smart manufacturing plans" to encourage the use of industrial robots and intelligent technologies in the traditional equipment manufacturing industry and labor-intensive enterprises in the region, and to carry out intelligent upgrades in conjunction with the company's process technology equipment. A group of companies are selected to develop "machines." "Substitution" pilot project to build an unmanned factory demonstration enterprise. Study and set up a special fund for robot demonstration and application, and give a certain percentage of rewards or equipment subsidies to enterprises applying the robots and intelligent equipment products developed and produced by the enterprises in the area.

In order to accelerate the integration and development of the new generation of information technology and manufacturing technology, smart manufacturing is the main focus of the deep integration of the two industries and further enhance the high-end level of regional manufacturing. In 2015 and 2016, the Guangzhou Development Zone introduced the “Encourage industrial transformation and upgrading. "Increase production incentives" Encourage enterprises to purchase or rent robots or complete sets of equipment, and provide financial support for key projects such as CNC machine tools, basic manufacturing equipment, intelligent equipment, industrial robot parts and components, machine manufacturing, and application integration.

Reward incentives for up to 8 million yuan for companies that prioritize the development of smart manufacturing and other top 10 industries; support up to 2 million yuan for major projects such as CNC machine tools and smart equipment in the region; and give up to 100 yuan for companies purchasing or renting robots. Ten thousand yuan reward.

At the same time, it will intensify policy support for the development of key technologies, support the development of dragon skull enterprises, support the construction of industrial robot projects, implement preferential tax policies, and give special support to key projects. For example, 100% funding for state-level science and technology projects, up to 5 million yuan. For the R&D institutions such as the National Engineering Technology Research Center, the National Engineering Research Center, and the National Engineering Laboratory that have been independently or jointly identified by the National Science and Technology Department, a subsidy of RMB 3 million will be provided.
