Sensor, known as the intelligent nerve antennae, is the primary device for automatic detection and automatic control in modern control systems. In the era of the Internet of Everything, new energy vehicles, robots, and smart homes can be seen everywhere.
Xi'an Siwei Sensing Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Siwei Technology") is located in Fengdong New Town, Xixian New District, Science and Technology Innovation Smart Industrial Park, is a manufacturer of medium and high-end pressure chips and sensor-level products with completely independent and controllable capabilities. The company has successfully developed three product series: pressure chips, high-precision silicon resonant pressure sensors and high-temperature silicon piezoresistive pressure sensors, which have broken the monopoly of foreign products and injected strong impetus into the development of many fields such as aviation, aerospace, meteorology, and electric power in the mainland.
From 0 to 1, break through the "stuck neck" puzzle
In 2013, the founding team of Siwei Technology was originally the sensor research group of Xi'an Flight Automatic Control Research Institute of Aviation Industry, and realized that the high-end pressure sensor was in a blank state in China and mainly relied on imports, so the team began to study high-precision silicon resonant pressure sensors and high-temperature silicon piezoresistive pressure sensors. Chen Xin, deputy general manager of Siwei Technology, told reporters.
Medium and high-end pressure sensors, because of their highly specialized scientific and technological content and arduous research and development difficulties, have long been an important area of technology imports in mainland China. Chen Xin continued: "Especially under the changes in the international situation in 2019, the import of mid-to-high-end pressure sensors has been restricted, which undoubtedly poses a severe challenge to the technological development of important fields such as aviation, shipbuilding, and advanced manufacturing on the mainland. ”
"The establishment of Siwei is with a mission. Talking about the beginning of the company's establishment, Chen Xin said with emotion: "The name of Siwei is a homonym for thinking of danger in times of peace, and our mission is to solve the country's 'stuck neck' problem in the field of high-precision and high-temperature pressure measurement." ”
It is reported that in 2019, after overcoming a series of problems in the design, manufacturing, packaging and testing of chips, the founding team of Siwei Technology has manufactured a prototype of a high-precision silicon resonant pressure sensor that can be benchmarked against foreign countries. Chen Xin introduced: "Since the establishment of the company in 2021, we have relied on the MEMS micro-electro-mechanical system process manufacturing platform of the parent company Aviation Industry Xi'an Flight Automatic Control Research Institute, and adopted the quasi-IDM model, that is, Siwei is responsible for chip design, the parent company is responsible for chip manufacturing, and then we carry out back-end packaging and testing. This model not only realizes asset-light operation, but also supports the rapid development and iteration of products. ”
At present, Siwei Technology has successfully opened up the whole industrial chain from chip design, manufacturing, packaging and testing to sensor assembly and adjustment, improved the mainland's independent innovation ability in the field of sensor technology, and solved the long-term "stuck neck" problem. In addition, Siwei Technology also deeply analyzes the technical indicators in various fields and formulates a clear product research and development route to ensure that the products can meet the diversified needs of the market.
Customized development
Help the rapid development of regional industries
In the wave of scientific and technological innovation and industrial chain synergy, Siwei Technology provides strong technical support for downstream enterprises with its unique customized development and efficient response mode, and also promotes the common development of upstream enterprises and forms a good industrial chain ecology.
Chen Xin introduced: "For downstream enterprises, it is often difficult to meet their needs for customization and response efficiency by relying on imported products in the past. However, Siwei Technology is able to customize the development according to the actual technology and application needs of customers, and provide rapid response services, so as to better support the business development of customers. This customer-centric innovation model not only enhances the market competitiveness of Smartway, but also brings tangible business growth to downstream enterprises. ”
At the same time, in the process of its own rapid development, Siwei Technology has also driven the common growth of upstream supplier partners. With the expansion of the company's scale, the supplier partners have also developed together with the company, forming a close cooperative relationship. The improvement of this scale effect has gradually transformed into an agglomeration effect, which has promoted the better development of the industrial chain in the region.
When it comes to team building, Chen Xin said: "Xi'an is a place where colleges and universities gather, and promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements is also the main direction of Shaanxi Province in recent years. ”
It is worth mentioning that in the development process of Siwei Technology, Qin Chuangyuan's innovation-driven platform has played an important supporting role. The platform provides comprehensive policy support for start-ups, including preferential policies such as bag entry, rent reduction and exemption, and talent identification, to help enterprises reduce their burden and promote their better development. At the same time, the regular communication and policy explanation of various government departments have also solved practical problems for Siwei Technology and promoted its efficient development.
The close cooperation between Siwei Technology and Qin Chuangyuan has injected a strong impetus into the coordinated development of regional industries. Through customized development, industrial chain collaboration and deep integration of industry, university and research, Siwei Technology has not only achieved its own rapid development, but also made important contributions to the progress of the entire regional industry.
