Taking the pipeline as the "track", Xiaotiandi dances a big name — the middle instrumental robot 12 years has become a "leader"

In a pipeline with a diameter of 30 cm, the robot kicks the "wind wheel" and gives the pipeline "physical examination", "diagnosis" and "cure disease".

For Wuhan Zhongyi Federation Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhongyi Co., Ltd."), small underground pipelines are a stage that can be a big one. In the past 12 years, in the narrow "track" of the underground pipeline, Zhongyi Co., Ltd. raced with himself and raced in the future.

The narrower the track, the more you need to "take a step to see three steps"

Gazette, the "long -distance running champion" on the grassland, is good at jumping and running. "Gazette Enterprise" has a common characteristics with the glaze. It is not large, endurance, and jumping high. It can often achieve amazing jump, crosses the death valley, and move towards the "unicorn". In 2021, Zhongyi was selected as the "Gazette Enterprise" list for the seventh consecutive year.

"'Gazette' is the true portrayal of Zhongyi: recognize the goal, have no heart, and run desperately." Said Zheng Hongbiao, general manager and chief engineer of Zhongyi Co., Ltd..

If you jump high, you can see it far. Before the establishment of Zhongyi, Zheng Hongbiao had many years of geological exploration work experience. He said that a city is a huge ecosystem. The buildings on the ground are lined up and bright are the beauty of the naked eye. The underground pipe network is like the "blood vessels" of the city, which is the guardian of urban health.

In Europe and the United States, more than 50 years ago, it invented pipeline testing robots. However, my country's drainage pipeline testing was still mainly completed by workers' downhole for a long time. The danger was unpredictable. The inspection effect was poor, the cost, and the detection data could not be accurately analyzed. What's more, the domestic drainage pipe network is complicated and densely distributed, and there is a large difference in the structure of foreign pipeline networks, and it is impossible to copy domestic experience directly.

In 2010, when the underground pipe network had not received widespread attention in China, Zhongyi Co., Ltd. took the lead in aiming at the drainage industry, focusing on robots for pipeline detection. In 2012, the concept of the "sponge city" was first proposed in China. In the following two years, the construction concept of the "sponge city" was swept across the country, and the underground pipe network, smart drainage and other stations were on the air.

"Run on the narrow track, you must not take a step, look at one step, you must have a step, look at three steps' vision." Zheng Hongbiao said that in the past 12 years, the company has "advanced development" again and again: pipeline testing: pipeline testing The robot was first invented by the British, and has been using analog sensor for more than 50 years. In 2016, Zhongyi Co., Ltd. upgraded the simulation sensor to a digital sensor and took the lead in launching the world's first digital high -definition CCTV (pipeline peeping camera) detection robot, which can generate pipelines to generate pipelines The three -dimensional model of the panorama, helping the technicians accurately find the problem within 1 minute, and increase the resolution of more than 10 times; in 2021, Zhongyi shares will introduce AI into the field of pipeline inspection, develop the "Kunpeng" smart drainage pipe network information platform, and use the mobile Internet to use the mobile Internet , Big Data, the Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, etc., to help scientific decisions of the water department.

Put out of the first chess to win more market share for the company. In the 11 years from 2010 to 2021, the company's revenue increased from 500,000 yuan to 250 million yuan, an increase of 500 times.

Follow the run before surpassing, and the follower becomes a "leader"

In the Pelicans Park in Cape Town, South Africa, a robot that looks like "Wali" (the protagonist of the movie "Robot Mobilization") opens the lights of the top of the head and drilled into the underground drainage pipeline. This is the latest panoramic quantitative development of Zhongyi Pipeline detection robot.

Right now, the pipeline detection robot developed by Zhongyi is entering more and more countries and regions. In China, the regions of Zhongyi shares are radiating nationwide, and the water systems involved include the Yangtze River, Yellow River, and Pearl River; in North America, South America, Europe, and Southeast Asia, there are more than 20 outlets in Zhongyi.

"Long -distance running is endurance, and innovation is 'supply'". Zheng Hongbiao said that at the beginning of its establishment, Zhongyi Co., Ltd. had learned and studied related technologies in developed countries such as Europe, the United States, but after a period of practice, it was found that it was difficult to rely on imitation difficulties. With a long -term development, Zhongyi has begun to embark on the road of original innovation and develop detection equipment suitable for domestic pipelines.

In the past 12 years, Zhongyi has completed the innovation process from the localization of equipment to independent development. At present, the company has more than 100 authorized patents and software copyrights, participated in more than 30 industry specifications and local standards, and serves a total of over 2,000 water and environmental protection enterprises. At the same time, the invention patents of 7 countries including the United States, Japan, and Germany have doubled overseas exports.

"Entrepreneurship is like a marathon. We will definitely run with them first, and then wait for the opportunity to surpass." Zheng Hongbiao said that in recent years, the state has invested a lot about sponge cities and water body governance. After the company's good development opportunities, it also made him more firmly determined to run on this track. In May of this year, Zhongyi was selected as a new list of national specialized new "giant" companies that recommend support, and continued to "lead" in the track.

"In a single track, it is necessary to lead Hubei first, then lead the country and even the world to achieve gradient development step by step." Ye Qing, a professor and doctoral supervisor of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, believes that for companies focusing on market segments, understand On the basis of the industry's forefront and development trends, it is very important to clarify the goals and positioning of different stages of development. According to the phased goals, it is necessary to continue to grow and grow through continuous innovation.
