The rapid development of automobile electrification and intelligence has put forward new topics for the education and training of automobile maintenance service personnel.
"Which excavator technology is stronger? "When it comes to the training of automobile maintenance personnel, people are easy to think of vocational and technical schools. However, under the promotion of the wave of intelligence and electrification, the cultivation of automobile maintenance service talents has gradually increased the gold content, and it is even inseparable from the blessing of high-tech means.
What does an automobile service talent training institution with black technology look like? The reporter found a good model in Shenzhen Universiade AI Town-Shenzhen Wind Vane Education Resources Co., Ltd. "R&D and training building of industry, education and finance", "R&D building of software and hardware teaching resources", "student dormitory building", etc., together constitute the R&D and training base of the wind vane, of which the A07 building is the gathering place of the wind vane intelligent black technology. "The first and second floors are the 'assembly and debugging workshop', the third and fourth floors are the 'hardware R&D and software development work area', the fifth floor is the integrated space for R&D, display and training, and the roof is the 'intelligent connected vehicle R&D test field'. With the explanation of the weather vane staff, a training complex integrating various innovative technical means gradually appeared in front of you.
Training also requires high-tech means
Entering the building, advanced automotive maintenance teaching equipment such as intelligent network sensor assembly and adjustment test bench, intelligent cockpit system assembly and adjustment test bench, vehicle-road collaboration system assembly and adjustment test bench, L4 low-speed automatic driving teaching and training platform, ROS intelligent driving car, ADAS comprehensive technology training platform and so on are readily available. "Almost all of the world's mainstream intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit solutions are gathered here. BASED ON THE AUTOWARE OPEN SOURCE SYSTEM, WE HAVE INDEPENDENTLY DEVELOPED AUTONOMOUS DRIVING ALGORITHMS, TEACHING EQUIPMENT, CURRICULUM RESOURCES, AND VIRTUAL SIMULATION TEACHING TECHNOLOGY. Wind vane employees told reporters.
"Our teaching products are generally ahead of the products of car companies, and our self-developed auto repair training services and products have reached the international advanced level. Wang Yubiao, chairman and president of the wind vane company, proudly told reporters.

As early as 2003, Wang Yubiao realized the huge demand of the automotive talent training market, with a master's degree in automotive engineering from Tsinghua University and has worked in Mercedes-Benz, Buick and other car companies, he bid farewell to the job of the vehicle company that everyone yearns for, and chose the training of automobile service talents as his entrepreneurial direction.
Fortunately, his entrepreneurial journey coincided with the 20 years of China's automobile development. By the end of 2023, the number of cars in mainland China has climbed to 336 million, and the output value of the automotive aftermarket maintenance industry has reached 1.2 trillion yuan, while the trend of electrification and intelligence will continue to promote the output value of the maintenance industry to maintain a growth rate of more than 10%. The automotive aftermarket is rising, not only the scale is rising, but also the demand for high-tech service personnel is also increasing day by day.
After 21 years of technology accumulation and professional precipitation, at present, Fengye has grown into a national high-tech enterprise and software enterprise focusing on the development of software and hardware educational resources and education and teaching services, with its own unique teaching system and massive digital teaching resources, teaching products and solutions covering intelligent networked vehicles, new energy vehicles, traditional fuel vehicles, construction machinery, commercial vehicles, intelligent manufacturing, industrial Internet and many other fields.
However, Wang Yubiao stressed to Auto Observer: "The vane not only sells education services, but also sells technology and R&D enterprises. ”
Diversified teaching methods have enabled the wind vane to obtain the high-tech enterprise certificate, and has become the Guangdong New Energy Vehicle Education Resources Engineering Technology Research Center and the R&D and training base of BYD Institute of Applied Technology of Shenzhen Vocational University. Since its establishment, the wind vane has obtained more than 50 national patents, more than 100 software copyrights, and more than 100 R&D personnel in the software team and hardware team, accounting for 40%. With the integration of original technology + advanced teaching concept + modern education technology, the wind vane provides customized training and teaching solutions for Volvo, BYD, BMW, FAW-Volkswagen and other well-known car companies, public training bases and colleges. At the same time, Wind Vane and Southern University of Science and Technology have established the "SUSTech-Wind Vane" International Education Engineering Joint Laboratory for Intelligent Connected Vehicles, set up a team of experts, developed high-quality intelligent networked vehicle teaching products, and helped promote the development of intelligent networked education and teaching in vocational colleges and universities.
"The Wind Vane Specimen Department has joined hands with a number of colleges and universities to build the Automobile Industry College, providing teaching services for more than 3,000 domestic middle and higher vocational and undergraduate colleges and universities, and more than 300 colleges and universities in more than 50 countries in the world, and carrying out in-depth cooperation in the fields of new energy vehicles, green talent training, and green product development. Wang Yubiao said.
From fuel master to intelligent electric all-round
The development of the wind vane started from fuel vehicles, and naturally there are many successful cases in this regard. In the cooperation of FAW-Volkswagen's customized Audi Q5 display equipment project, the customer required that the display equipment could be combined into a whole vehicle and divided into two halves from the middle, so as to facilitate the understanding of the internal process structure and technical principles of the car. In order to meet customer requirements, the wind vane R&D personnel began to study the structure and principle of the Q5 model, and successfully developed products that meet customer requirements without destroying the performance of the whole vehicle. Before the wind vane and Volvo carried out the bus training and teaching equipment research and development project, the domestic automobile teaching resources industry has never had a precedent for bus teaching equipment, and the wind vane was developed from scratch, creating a precedent for the research and development of domestic bus teaching equipment.
With solid technical strength and advanced vision, the wind vane not only opens up a world in the domestic market, but also actively participates in international exhibitions such as Dubai, Thailand, Myanmar, Mexico, Switzerland, Turkey, etc., expanding brand awareness and broadening international vision. At the same time, it strengthens cooperation with international enterprises and universities to build cooperation platforms, joint development of educational resources and export of educational services.
In Wang Yubiao's eyes, although the technological changes of traditional fuel vehicles may not be as great as that of new energy vehicles, the teaching methods of fuel vehicle maintenance services also need to be continuously innovated. "Technologies such as VR and MR can be applied to teaching, so that teaching expressions are diversified and teaching is more efficient. Advanced technologies such as large models will also be developed in advance and applied to practical work. ”
In the face of the wave of new technological revolution, starting from 2019, Wang Yubiao began to lead the vane to develop educational service resources for new energy and intelligent vehicles.
"When many traditional fuel vehicle repairers repair smart electric vehicles, they often can't find the key to the problem, so they can only replace the entire system, which leads to an increase in maintenance costs and maintenance time hundreds or even thousands of times. Wang Yubiao broke through the dilemma faced by traditional fuel vehicle maintenance workers in the era of automobile reform.
Based on the current situation of the industry, Wind Vane has developed a series of intelligent networked vehicle teaching products to meet the training and teaching needs of various colleges and universities.
"Taking the ROS intelligent driving car development platform as an example, the platform is composed of two parts: ROS car and supporting training map, based on the current mainstream ROS system platform for research and development, with autonomous driving mainstream sensor LiDAR, ultrasonic radar, depth camera and other components as the environmental perception system, with the map can realize LiDAR mapping and navigation, visual mapping and navigation, multi-point cruise, LiDAR following, depth visual following, autonomous navigation obstacle avoidance, wireless handle control, Multi-sensor perception fusion such as voice summoning and control and vehicle intelligent driving control realize the core teaching function of autonomous driving. The staff of the Wind Vane Intelligent Network Division introduced.
For new energy vehicle maintenance service training, Wind Vane can also provide one-stop teaching solutions, basic teaching solutions, overall solutions for smart education, "1+X" smart teaching and assessment solutions, miniaturization solutions, cultural construction solutions, etc. In the field of electrification, the wind vane takes BYD Qin EV as the prototype, establishes a knowledge system based on the "big three electrics" of electric vehicles and supplemented by "small three electrics", clearly displays the knowledge principles of BYD Qin EV electric, tells the structure and principle of each system through animation, three-dimensional and other methods, forms a teaching resource package, and assists teachers with a large number of courseware resources such as circuit diagrams and maintenance manuals. In addition, based on Geely Emgrand EV450, Fengbiao has also developed interactive teaching resource packages such as electrical and electronic systems, electric drive systems, and air conditioning systems for new energy vehicles, which are used with teaching hardware equipment to form a perfect software and hardware teaching system.
Standard new energy one-stop teaching solution
"At present, the new energy vehicle business has accounted for 50% of the overall business of the wind vane, and the intelligent business accounts for 20%. Wang Yubiao said. In his view, effective new energy and intelligent technology training can not only solve the urgent need of automobile after-sales service, but also help the huge team of maintenance technicians in the fuel era to quickly transform and obtain better employment opportunities, which is of great social significance.
