"Hunan Daily" Furong Country Commentary丨Innovation has no borders, breakthroughs become "smart"

A few days ago, in the annual "50 smart companies" announced by the international authoritative science and technology media "MIT Technology Review", Sany Heavy Industry became the only enterprise on the list in the construction machinery industry, and it is also the first enterprise in our province to be on the list of "smart companies".

At a time when economic development is climbing over hurdles, how to become a "smart company" and win development advantages in the fierce market competition, Sany's development process may give us some inspiration.

"Smart" is mostly used to describe people who are smart and alert, and when applied to enterprises, it reflects the temperament of daring to innovate and adapt. In 2021, the sales volume of Sany Heavy Industry's electrified engineering vehicle products exceeded 1,000 units, with sales of nearly 1 billion yuan, ranking first in the industry in terms of market share. From building an industrial Internet platform to building a digital workshop, Sany, which is now at the forefront of the industry in terms of intelligence and electrification, is realizing the transformation from an entrepreneur to an innovator, from a follower to a leader. A careful examination of Sany's development path shows that almost all breakthroughs are based on innovation, and all changes are guided by high quality. On MIT Technology Review's list, it's not so much Sany that stands out, but that the "innovators" have once again won recognition.

Exploration is the temperament of innovators, and the times are the world of innovators. In the face of the trend of rapid iteration, the initiative often belongs to enterprises that constantly surpass themselves in innovation and seize the opportunities of the times in development. In recent years, with the determination of "digital transformation or overturning", Sany has creatively used the "excavator index" to perceive the macroeconomic trend and build the first certified lighthouse factory in the global heavy industry industry...... These explorations of breaking into the "no man's land" and integrating emerging technologies with the real economy have successfully broken and broadened the business boundaries of the construction machinery industry, and also won a broader space for their own development.

What does it mean to be "smart"? It is this perseverance, the courage to break through the limits, and the ingenuity to continue to study. The development of Sany once again proves that in this era of "only innovators advance, only innovators are strong, and only innovators win", whoever can start quickly and continue to accelerate will be able to win the future.

In the operation and development of enterprises, the praised "smart" is a concept, a method, and a spirit. At present, the internal conditions and external environment of China's development are undergoing profound and complex changes, and foreign risks and domestic challenges are intertwined, but the situation will also breed unlimited opportunities.
