This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 74th anniversary of the Tai Rebuilding Plant. 74 years of heavy responsibility, forge ahead; In the 74 years of journey, Taizhong has already become a banner of China's heavy machinery industry.
Founded in 1950, Taiyuan Heavy Machinery Group Co., Ltd. is the first heavy machinery manufacturing enterprise designed and built by mainland China. Here, the first excavator, the first straightening machine, the first train wheel rolling mill, the first rocket launch tower were born in New China...... "All equipment that cannot be manufactured by other factories, this factory must be manufactured." This is the construction policy written in the history of Taizhong Factory, and it is also in such a way that Taizhong engraves its name on one after another great powers, shouldering the mission of the times and walking in the same direction with the motherland.
Over the past 74 years, Taizhong has provided more than 3,000 kinds, more than 40,000 sets and about 10 million tons of equipment products for national key construction projects, and has created more than 500 firsts in China and the world, and is known as the "pioneer of the national economy".
On June 22, 2017, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Taizhong Group for inspection and research, and pointed out: "Make good use of the historic opportunity of the development of mainland transportation and the construction of the "Belt and Road", make persistent efforts, and create a greater world in technological innovation and brand building." ”
High hopes are like mountains, urging people to forge ahead. Taizhong people keep in mind the entrustment of the general secretary, bravely assume the responsibility of the "dual-chain master" enterprise of Shanxi's high-end equipment manufacturing and wind power equipment industry chain, focus on the product positioning of "high-end, intelligent, green and localized", firmly strengthen traditional products, make excellent new products, and make fine batch products, and gather strong momentum to promote the development of new quality productivity in the long journey of development to "new" to "intelligent" to "green".
Build a high-level development pattern with new momentum
To cultivate and develop new quality productive forces, we must do a good job in the big article of "innovation." Taizhong takes scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement as the strategic support for the development of enterprises, aims at the difficulties and blocking problems that restrict the development of scientific and technological innovation, and carries out the technical problems of "stuck neck", so as to accelerate the transformation from "too heavy manufacturing" to "too heavy creation".
In order to build a global R&D system of "one key, one center, and multiple bases", Taizhong has built a technological innovation pattern with the national enterprise technology center and the national key laboratory of Taiyuan as the core, and the coordinated development of R&D centers in Tianjin, Shanghai, Xi'an, Shenzhen, Germany, Japan, etc., and at the same time strengthened school-enterprise cooperation, signed cooperation agreements with Zhejiang University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Dalian University of Technology and other well-known universities to achieve "borrowing brains to introduce intelligence" and forging a "strong muscle" of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance. It provides a key focus and unlimited growth space for the company's high-quality and high-speed development.
Innovation is the lifeblood of an enterprise. Taizhong has continued to increase investment in technical research and new product development, and has held scientific and technological quality conferences for four consecutive years, with a total investment of 4 billion yuan in research and development, with an average annual growth rate of 25%. In April this year, Taizhong took out 18.54 million yuan to reward innovative talents in scientific and technological achievements at the Science and Technology Quality Conference, which was unprecedented, sending a strong signal of respecting scientific and technological talents and encouraging scientific and technological innovation.
Innovation is falling, full of freshness. In recent years, the scientific and technological achievements of Taizhong have won many awards, and the innovation ecology of thousands of sails and hundreds of boats has been fully formed.
From the continuous excellence of the national enterprise technology center to the successful completion of the reorganization of the national key laboratory; From being awarded the "National Quality Benchmark" to being selected as one of the "100 Typical Cases of Brand Building of National State-owned Enterprises...... The leading role of innovation is constantly demonstrated.
From the heavy metallurgical casting crane and mining excavator won the national "manufacturing single champion", to the 25-ton methanol truck crane won the platinum award for technological innovation products; From the world's first 5G remote-operated mining excavator to the first set of products such as high-speed EMU axles to achieve localized substitution...... The quality competitiveness of too heavy equipment continues to increase.

Millions of overweight and high-quality axle products are shipped to more than 70 countries and regions around the world
Now, Taizhong has made significant breakthroughs in "product + service", "equipment + materials", "intelligent product development" and "package solutions", and a number of research achievements have broken the foreign monopoly and filled the gap in the industry. The source of scientific and technological innovation is surging and bursting out in Taizhong, converging into an inexhaustible driving force to promote the development of new quality productive forces.
Improve quality with wisdom and build a solid foundation for high-standard development
When a big country encounters an intelligent system, what kind of wonderful effect will it have?
The overhead crane suspended in the air automatically finds the optimal route to complete accurate hoisting; The 8-storey mining excavator is remotely controlled to mine minerals in extremely harsh conditions; In the past, coking operations that required the cooperation of 8 people were realized through intelligent equipment...... Taizhong empowers product upgrades with intelligent technology, and equips each "Big Mac" with "smart brains", achieving a double leap in production efficiency and safety performance.

With the help of big data analysis and artificial intelligence technology, the equipment can realize the intelligent collection and analysis of operating parameters, and continuously improve its own performance to adapt to different working scenarios and needs. At the same time, intelligence also promotes the interconnection between heavy equipment, allowing it to work better together and optimize production processes and resource allocation.
Today, "smart and intelligent" heavy equipment is active in large-scale hydropower stations, Inner Mongolia energy coal mines, Gansu and Henan steel mills and other user sites, becoming a model of "wisdom + equipment" in the whole industry.
Too heavy "intelligent" manufacturing is not only the technological upgrading of products, but also the in-depth transformation of production mode. Walking into the production workshop of Taizhong Intelligent High-end Equipment Industrial Park, a robotic arm waving up and down to automatically complete precision processes such as punching, shaping, and cutting, and the intelligent inkjet printer methodically prints dynamic data in real time, and hundreds of automatically guided AGV trolleys and unmanned forklifts shuttle back and forth to accurately transport the processed parts to the next station...... This intelligent blanking workshop full of "black technology" pioneered the "mixed nesting, centralized blanking, and intelligent control" mode in the heavy equipment manufacturing industry, which can still produce even if the light is dark. Such intelligent manufacturing scenarios are not uncommon in Taizhong.
In recent years, Taizhong has vigorously promoted the construction of "lighthouse factory", "smart factory" and "black light factory", and strived to realize the deep integration of a new generation of digital technologies such as industrial Internet of Things, cloud computing, AI, 5G and physical factories, and created the first domestic WMS three-dimensional library and automated assembly line integrated into the "vertical library embedded" high-speed machine production line. A smart factory with an average of 1 excavator off the assembly line every 4.4 minutes has been established, Taizhong Intelligent High-end Equipment Industrial Park and Rail Transit Industrial Park have been rated as national intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories, and Taizhong Xiangming's "man-machine collaborative manufacturing" project has been selected as a national excellent scene for intelligent manufacturing...... Taizhong has realized from a "traditional factory" to a "smart factory"; From "single piece and small batch" to "integrated collaboration"; With the leapfrog change from "manual production" to "intelligent manufacturing", more and more new production models driven by digitalization and intelligence are rising too seriously, and they have run out of the "acceleration" that leads the digital and intelligent transformation of the industry.

Empower with green and plant a background for high-quality development
General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition that "new quality productivity itself is green productivity" has pointed out the way forward for Taizhong to open up new fields and new tracks for development, and shape new development momentum and new advantages.
On September 10, Taizhong's newly developed electrically driven scissor aerial work platform, lithium battery balance forklift, and all-electric intelligent remote control excavator made a wonderful appearance at the 2024 China (Taiyuan) International Energy Industry Expo.
Green is a bright undertone for overweight gear. Focusing on the background of the national "double carbon" policy and the development trend of new energy, Taizhong integrates the concept of green development into the whole process of product development and design, strengthens the innovation of green technology and the promotion and application of advanced green technology, vigorously develops a variety of new energy power equipment such as pure electricity, drag electricity, hydrogen fuel, methanol, etc., and leads the construction machinery industry to develop in the direction of low-carbon, environmental protection, energy saving and high efficiency in the pursuit of "new" and "green".
Taizhong has launched a series of new energy power products such as pure electric, methanol and hydrogen energy, and is moving forward with "green".
The world's first 25-ton methanol truck crane; The world's first 24-ton hydrogen-fueled hydraulic excavator; The first 3.6-ton all-electric intelligent remote control excavator in China...... A large number of green innovative products were born in Taizhong, and the green product system continued to improve. At the same time, the construction of green factories that are too heavy is also in full swing.
Excavators and wide-body vehicles that are too heavy to produce are operating efficiently at the user's site
With intensive land use, harmless raw materials, clean production, waste recycling, and low-carbon energy, Taizhong regards green manufacturing as an important task for the development of new quality productivity, actively responds to the national call for "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality", and continues to improve the level of green development. Taizhong intelligent high-end equipment industrial park multi-energy complementarity, intelligent high-end engineering excavator industrial park energy conservation and emission reduction, new energy industrial park to ensure the energy efficiency level of heating and cooling equipment, "efficient, clean, low-carbon, recycling" has become the main theme of the development of each park.
In November 2023, Taizhong Rail Transit Industrial Park and New Energy Industrial Park were rated as national "green factories"; In September 2024, Taizhong Xiangming and Zhiqi companies were listed on the provincial green manufacturing demonstration list in Shanxi Province, and today Taizhong has become a benchmark demonstration enterprise for green development.
Determined to build heavy weapons and increase confidence for the country. Practicing the requirements of high-end, intelligent and green development of the national manufacturing industry is too heavy, with a glorious mission and a great responsibility. Today's "too heavy of the country" is striding forward with a high-spirited attitude of struggle, writing new brilliance in the grand chapter of building a manufacturing power and promoting Chinese-style modernization, and winning the advantage, winning the initiative and winning the future with firm confidence!
