Digital simulation! Sany New Book Reveals the Way to Accelerate Product Innovation

As a cutting-edge technology for the development of high-end equipment manufacturing and digital industry in China, digital simulation technology is one of the foundations and key contents of digital and intelligent transformation. In January 2024, seven departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Science and Technology, jointly issued the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Innovation and Development of Future Industries", pointing out that it is necessary to "break through key core technologies such as intelligent control, intelligent sensing, and analog simulation", further highlighting the strategic position of digital simulation technology in industrial upgrading.

As the world's leading equipment manufacturing enterprise, Sany attaches great importance to digital simulation technology, continues to carry out digital simulation capacity building, improves the digital simulation technology system and professional talent system, uses digital simulation technology to continuously optimize product design, accelerate product innovation, and continue to create high-quality products with high reliability, low energy consumption and strong power.

In order to systematically summarize the application value and practical experience of digital simulation technology, Mr. Xu Yongjun, deputy general manager of Sany Group and president of Digital Twin Research Institute, compiled the simulation monograph "Digital Simulation Sany Product Innovation Accelerator", which provides a valuable simulation technology application guide for the industry from the six disciplines of structural simulation, vibration and noise simulation, multi-body dynamics simulation, fluid simulation, system simulation and electromagnetic compatibility simulation, combined with Sany best practices.

Xiang Wenbo, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Sany Group and Chairman of Sany Heavy Industry, emphasized in the preamble of the recommendation: "Digital simulation is one of the core technologies of Sany R&D and innovation, and a powerful tool for Sany to build the global competitiveness of its products. In recent years, Sany has accumulated rich experience and practical cases of digital simulation, especially since Mr. Xu Yongjun joined Sany, which has further accelerated the width and depth of the application of Sany digital simulation technology. I believe that this book can not only bring rich reference cases to readers and friends, but also bring inspiration and thinking about the application value of digital simulation technology. ”

In recent years, with the gradual maturity and in-depth application of advanced digital technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and AR/VR, digital simulation has accelerated its evolution in the direction of digital twins and industrial metaverse, and the product research and development paradigm has also undergone revolutionary changes. This book elaborates and imagines simulation automation, simulation intelligence, digital twins, industrial metaverse, etc., and outlines the future picture of digital and intelligent research and development for readers.

In January 2021, Sany Group established the Digital Twin Research Institute, which is responsible for the overall planning of the group's simulation capabilities and the planning of the path for capacity improvement, the research and application promotion of common key/difficult simulation technologies, the training of simulation talents and the co-construction of capabilities, etc., marking that the simulation capacity building of Sany Group has entered the fast lane. In recent years, Sany has successively won many domestic and foreign honors, such as the "International Digital Twin Innovation Application Award", the "First Prize of the 2024 National Simulation Innovation Application Competition of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology", the "Outstanding Case Award for Simulation Technology Innovation at the China Simulation Technology Application Conference", the "Excellent Simulation Technology Solution Award at the China Simulation Technology Application Conference", the "Outstanding Contribution Award for Digital Simulation Technology at the China Digital Simulation Forum", and the "First Prize for Outstanding Papers at the China CAE Engineering Analysis Technology Annual Conference", and participated in the compilation of the IEEE P3144 Industrial Digital Twin Maturity Model and Evaluation Method", "Digital Twin Model Evaluation Specification", "Digital Simulation Classification of Manufacturing Industry", "Technical Requirements for Electromechanical and Hydraulic Control Joint Simulation" and more than 10 international, national and group standards.

In the future, Sany will continue to build a digital simulation capability system around the simulation to be true (should be accurate), fast (should be fast as soon as possible), and complete simulation (should be imitated as much as possible), and gradually reduce and replace physical tests, shorten the physical verification cycle, reduce R&D costs, continuously improve product innovation and R&D capabilities, and continuously create high-quality products loved by users.
