As a representative of private enterprises, Chinese machinery giant Sany Group said that private enterprises in the country, while enjoying benefits provided by society, should create wealth for society in return through scientific innovations.

作为民营企业代表，中国机械巨头三一集团表示，国内民营企业在享受社会提供的利益的同时，也要通过科技创新为社会创造财富。

Tang Xiuguo, president of Sany Group, said: "China's reform and opening-up offer private enterprises opportunities to develop. Especially during the COVID-19 era, the government has launched a series of policies in tax, investment and bidding to improve its business environment and help enterprises overcome difficulties."

三一集团总裁唐修国表示：“中国的改革开放为民营企业提供了发展机遇。特别是在新冠肺炎时期，政府推出了一系列税收、投资和招标政策，以改善其业务环境，帮助企业渡过难关。”

"The government offered us a peaceful and orderly environment. In return, private enterprises should focus on scientific innovations to create wealth for society," he said.

“政府为我们提供了一个和平有序的环境。作为回报，民营企业应该专注于科学创新，为社会创造财富，”他说。

The company's pile machine factory in Beijing, namely Sany Beijing, was recently approved as a "Lighthouse Factory" by the World Economic Forum, becoming the first one approved in heavy industry in the world.

公司在北京的桩机工厂，即北京三一，近日被世界经济论坛批准为“灯塔工厂”，成为全球首家获批的重工业工厂。

The Lighthouse Factory list was jointly issued by the WEF and global market research company McKinsey & Co. It was intended to select factories leading the way in the adoption and integration of frontier technologies around the world.

灯塔工厂名单由世界经济论坛和全球市场研究公司麦肯锡公司联合发布，旨在选择在全球前沿技术采用和整合方面处于领先地位的工厂。

Lighthouse Factories represent the highest level of intelligent manufacturing and digitalization in the global manufacturing industry today.

灯塔工厂代表了当今全球制造业智能制造和数字化的最高水平。

The official website of WEF said the reason for approving Sany Beijing as a Lighthouse Factory was that "faced with growing demand and rising complexity in the multicategory and small-batch heavy machinery market, Sany Beijing deployed advanced human-machine collaboration automation, artificial intelligence and internet of things technologies to boost labor productivity by 85 percent. It also reduced production lead time by 77 percent, down from 30 to seven days."

世界经济论坛官网表示，批准三一北京为灯塔工厂的原因是“面对多品类、小批量重型机械市场日益增长的需求和复杂性，三一北京部署了先进的人机协作自动化、人工智能和 物联网技术将劳动生产率提高了 85%。它还将生产提前期缩短了 77%，从 30 天缩短到 7 天。”

Dai Qinghua, chairman and senior vice-president of Sany Group, said: "Sany Group raised the concept of digital transformation in 2018. During the process of digital transformation, we launched an intelligent research institute to plan the development of intelligent manufacturing."

三一集团董事、高级副总裁代晴华表示：“三一集团在2018年提出了数字化转型的概念，在数字化转型的过程中，我们成立了智能研究院，规划智能制造的发展。”

"In 2020, we spent 15 billion yuan ($2.3 billion) in upgrades and transformation. We have made detailed plans in building more Lighthouse Factories and designing future development," he said.

“2020 年，我们在升级和转型方面花费了 150 亿元人民币（23 亿美元）。我们在建设更多灯塔工厂和设计未来发展方面制定了详细计划，”他说。

The company began the Lighthouse Factory transformation on 20 factories starting in 2019. Among them, Sany Beijing was the first to complete the transformation.

公司从2019年开始对20家工厂进行灯塔工厂改造，其中北京三一率先完成改造。

"The transformation greatly increased the factory's efficiency. Before the transformation, more than 10 people operated the automatic assembly line. Now, only one person is required to operate the line," Dai said.

“改造大大提高了工厂的效率。改造前，自动化流水线有10多人操作，现在只需要一个人操作，”戴说。

During the 2021 China International Fire Protection Equipment Technology Conference & Exposition, Sany Group demonstrated a series of cutting-edge products, including large-span firefighting trucks, water tower firetrucks, remote controlled firefighting trucks, trailblazers, multifunction emergency rescue vehicles, transport robots, firefighting reconnaissance robots, and rescue robot dogs.

在2021中国国际消防装备技术大会暨博览会上，三一集团展示了大跨度消防车、水塔消防车、遥控消防车、开拓者、多功能应急救援车、运输机器人、 消防侦察机器人和救援机器狗。

According to the company, its water tower fire truck won the first prize for innovation presented by the China Fire Protection Association.

据公司介绍，其水塔消防车荣获中国消防协会颁发的创新一等奖。

Zhou Rong, an expert with the Hubei Research Center for Theoretical System of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, said: "Private enterprises are the main force of China's innovative development. They are also an important carrier for gathering scientific and technological innovation elements."

中国特色社会主义理论体系湖北省研究中心专家周荣表示：“民营企业是中国创新发展的主力军，也是聚集科技创新要素的重要载体。”

"Giving full play to the important role of private enterprises in scientific innovation can effectively solve difficulties and problems encountered by enterprises in the development process. It can also enhance their innovation capabilities and core competitiveness, and effectively contribute to the overall improvement of China's scientific innovation level," Zhou said.

“充分发挥民营企业在科技创新中的重要作用，可以有效解决企业在发展过程中遇到的困难和问题，也可以提升企业的创新能力和核心竞争力，有效促进我国科技创新的全面提升水平。”周说。

He added that to enhance innovation, Chinese private enterprises should promote integration between enterprises, universities and research institutes, enhance intellectual property protections, improve talent cultivation mechanisms and build a favorable environment for scientific innovation.

他补充说，中国民营企业要加强创新要，推动产学研结合，加强知识产权保护，完善人才培养机制，营造良好的科技创新环境。

Tang Dajie, a guest researcher at Wuhan University, said: "To boost scientific innovation, Chinese private enterprises should make reforms to their management system and establish innovation incentive mechanisms. They should also focus on talent introduction and cultivation mechanisms."
