????Feed-stacking robot accounts for 70% of the domestic market share and exported to other countries, including Cambodian, Vietnam, and Bulgaria. Super Giant frame crane robot, the 1st large-span high-speed heavy-duty robot in China, enables man-free operation in sorting, stacking and moving in tire industry with 1 ton loading capacity. High precision walking robot is the 1st robot product exported to Toyota from China. In just a few years, Qingdao becomes the rising city for robot industry with tremendous result.

????Top 4 robot industry players in world, KUKA AG from German, ABB Group from Sweden, Yaskawa Electric Corporation and FANUC Corporation, all came to the Qingdao New High-Tech Zone. Not only sales and tech support team, they also relocated the R&D team to Qingdao. Other well-known robot companies, including NACHI Co., Ltd. from Japan and Siasun Co., Ltd. from Shenyang all have plan in Qingdao. According to incomplete statistics, Qingdao currently attracts over 100 industrial robot industry chain projects, including Kinger Robot Co., Ltd., Qingdao Baojia Inc., Norida Intelligent Technology Inc., Qingdao Tosun Intelligent Technology Inc. and Qingdao Haier Robot project.

????The total investment reaches to almost CNY 13 billion. Their robot products are applied in various procedures in the industry chain, including software development, system integration, solutions and key parts; in different areas, including stacking, welding, assembly, moving and painting; and in different service industries, including agricultural, recovery, underwater cleaning.

Qingdao Sen industrial-grade drone grabs over 20 patents in 8 years The SU-H2M pneumatic drone, developed by Qingdao Sen System Technology Co., Ltd., won the Mayor Award, the top world of 2017 The Mayor Cup Qingdao Industrial Design Awards.

????Starting from an agent of foreign spilled oil treatment device, Sen now has more than 20 patents about industrial-grade drone after nearly 8 years’ development, and filled some blanks in the industry. Over 10 types of drones developed by it have 100kg max loading capacity, 4 working hours and 100km operation diameters. The Sen-developed drone debuted only 1 year ago, but its sales volume has hit over CNY 20 million. “The best selling product is the SU-H2M that wins The Mayor Cup,” Liu Run said. Parachute safety system and sea floating system equipped on the drone filled the domestic blank is world advanced.

????The Laoshan district-located company, which was founded by overseas returned scholars 10 years ago, specializes in UVC LED R&D. After many years’ efforts, Jason forms a system based on intellectual property rights of HeaChips, involving all parts from chip on wafer, chip, packaging to application design. “Don’t belittle this small chip. Although small, it can send out 100 milliwatt 275 nanomaters UVC, brings UVC LED to another level.”With a broad bean size UVC LED product in his hand, the general manager Zhang Guohua said in Jason lab, the breakthrough Jason made in 2017 broadens vision for large flow flowing water or air disinfect solutions.

????UVC, which is UV with 200-280 wavelengths, it can damage DNA of bacteria or virus to stop reproduction. Zhang said, for example, a 1-1.6 milliwatt UVC-LED with 275 nanomaters wavelength in purified-water tank can curb the growth of bacteria in the tank by just work for 1-2 minutes.

????It is green without any toxic substance. So the technology is considered as revolutionary invention as ideal UV. (Qian Zhuo) Hua Yuhu: Qingdao grain master grower In the wheat harvest, which has ended recently, Jimo large scale grain grower Hua Yuhu harvested 1,000 grams wheat per mu even lacking of water. “Field is farmer’s lifeblood. If you want high yield, you need to take care of your land.”Talking about wheat land management, Hua who grows wheat for over 10 years has rich experience. As one of 1st group taking preventive growing technologies in Qingdao, he has earned more than CNY 1 million from 500mu wheat lands managed by him in the past two years. Since adopting preventive growing technology in 2015, the average yield increased at least 30%, with CNY 100 more achieved per mu, brought extra CNY 200,000 in. “You need to manage the field with scientific methods, and arrange right time for sowing, fertilizing and planting according to weather forecast. Preventive growing technology should be used, returning straw to field, and growing without plowing. Then the land will be improved for higher yield,” Hua said.
