In order to promote the precise alignment of technological innovation with industrial demands, implement the strategic deployment of our university's "Pioneer Program," and actively respond to the "Thousand Teams and Thousand Enterprises Integration and Innovation Plan," three faculty members from the School of Mechanical Engineering—Xu Yiren, Chen Gang, and Wang Hao—led a group of students on a one-day technical exchange and field visit to Tianjin Aomy Automation System Co., Ltd. on April 28. The purpose of this exchange was to gain an in-depth understanding of the technical challenges and development directions in the company's R&D and production processes, promote the school's research teams, platforms, and technological achievements, and create opportunities for students to enhance their practical skills and expand their employment prospects.

During the technical exchange session, Associate Professor Xu Yiren introduced the research teams and key achievements of the School of Mechanical Engineering and delivered a thematic report titled "Types, Applications, and Development Trends of Sealing Devices." Professor Chen Gang shared insights into mechanism theory and the design of critical components, highlighting their applications in industrial robotics and precision instruments. Professor Wang Hao, focusing on "Intelligent Maintenance and Emergency Repair Technologies for Oil and Gas Pipelines," systematically presented the pipeline intelligent inspection devices and emergency repair systems developed by his team. These innovative achievements have been applied in several key projects in the Binhai New Area.

Zhuo Jiewei, Chairman of Tianjin Aomy Automation System Co., Ltd., extended a warm welcome to the visiting faculty and students and systematically introduced the company's entrepreneurial journey and core technological strengths. As a leading enterprise in domestic fluid control system solutions, Aomy has long been dedicated to the fields of high-precision control valves and intelligent fluid control systems, possessing a comprehensive independent intellectual property system covering design, manufacturing, and application. Its products have been successfully applied in key sectors of the national economy, such as petrochemicals, energy, and power. Chairman Zhuo emphasized that the company has prioritized technological innovation in recent years and will further deepen industry-academia-research collaboration with universities to build a cooperative innovation ecosystem.

Accompanied by Chairman Zhuo, the faculty and students conducted an in-depth tour of the company's intelligent production workshop, product testing center, and R&D laboratory. During the visit, both parties engaged in practical discussions on cutting-edge industry technologies, focusing on key topics such as breakthroughs in critical processes for high-precision control valves and optimization of product reliability. Notably, in the exhibition area of the company's newly launched fifth-generation intelligent control valves, technical staff and the visiting faculty and students held fruitful in-depth exchanges on innovative approaches, including material performance upgrades and control algorithm iterations.

The on-site atmosphere of this industry-academia exchange event was both enthusiastic and harmonious. The School of Mechanical Engineering and Tianjin Aomy Automation Company held in-depth discussions on topics such as technical collaboration and talent cultivation, reaching multiple consensus points regarding future cooperation directions. It is believed that through complementary strengths and synergistic innovation, both parties will effectively drive technological advancements in the industry and provide robust support for cultivating high-caliber engineering talent.
