Chinese talent cannot support manufacturing transformation

Since the Chinese government proposed the China Manufacturing 2025 strategic plan, manufacturing transformation and smart manufacturing have become the current hot vocabulary. Yin Weibo, vice chairman of the giant power supply and thermal management solution vendor Delta, told NetEase today that the biggest obstacle to this transformation is talent. Advanced companies, for example, are increasingly willing to cooperate with universities and other institutions to establish laboratories and cultivate the talent they need.

“Made in China 2025” puts forward that China strives to transform from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing powerhouse by 2025. Many researchers believe that it is very difficult to achieve such a transformation with China’s current industrial base. Miao Miao, minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, told the media earlier that China Made 2025 is the same as Germany's Industry 4.0, but Germany is currently in Industry 3.0 overall, and most industrial companies in China still need to cover classes from 2.0 to 3.0.

At present, China's industrial talents are far from enough to support the process of transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry. He told NetEase that from a technical point of view, it can meet the demand. “The information communication is well developed. The technologies owned by the world’s advanced companies such as Germany and Japan are globally accessible and can be enjoyed by China. The biggest obstacle is talent. China does not have enough talents to apply these technologies."

It is becoming increasingly common for companies to cooperate with institutions of higher learning to set up research laboratories. Many advanced international companies such as Siemens, Panasonic and ABB have a large number of case studies in universities in China. Delta is also seeking more opportunities for cooperation with universities. According to Zhou Zhihong, the information department of Delta Enterprises, since 2009, the company has established 27 laboratories with colleges and universities. The number of undergraduates and postgraduates used each year exceeds 6000. people.

Delta is a Taiwanese company providing power management and thermal management solutions. It was founded in 1971. Last year's revenue was $75.23, a compound growth rate of 32.6%. There are three major business segments: power supply and components, energy management, and smart green living. The share of the three businesses is 60%, 23%, and 17%. (
