Dalian power of scientific innovation | import substitution: see how "KUNDA" broke out of the new path of localization?

2026-07-27

2026 is the key year for the start of the "15th Five-Year Plan" and the acceleration of the start. The equipment manufacturing industry, as the foundation of the country and the foundation of a strong country, is the core support for consolidating the foundation of the real economy and accelerating the cultivation of new quality productivity. Focusing on the main line of "digital Liaoning, intelligent and powerful province" construction, Dalian is accelerating the rise of high-end, intelligent and green manufacturing with scientific and technological innovation.

In this "Science and Technology Innovation Ignition" program, we invited Chen Yingwei, General Manager of Dalian KUNDA Automation Co., Ltd., Zhao Lisheng, Deputy General Manager of Dalian Shuanglong Pump Industry Group Co., Ltd., and Sun Lin, President of Dalian Lushunkou Sub-branch of the Bank of Communications, as guests to discuss the independent innovation development path in the field of intelligent manufacturing equipment and high-end industrial pumps, and share the entrepreneurial and development story of the enterprise.

In the 12 years of development, Dalian KUNDA Automation Co., Ltd. has always taken the independent and controllable intelligent manufacturing core process equipment as its core development goal, and laid out the entire chain research and development around the real pain points of the industry.

On the one hand, it has independently built a specialized industrial design center, built a high-end equipment innovation platform for the regional manufacturing industry, and provided an integrated carrier for multi-line research and development such as precision machining, intelligent assembly, digital twin systems, and special robots to solve the problems of scattered research and development and difficult to convert results in the past; on the other hand, relying on this innovation platform, it has focused on key technology research and development, and promoted four core research and development equipment projects in response to industry shortcomings. In the process of research and development, rigid-flexible coupled drive is the key to restricting the performance of special robots. The team continued to break through the core technology and successfully developed a number of special work robot complete sets with completely independent intellectual property rights, truly completing the complete closed loop from technology research and development to industrialization.

Part.01.KUNDA's core competitiveness is mainly reflected in three aspects

First, our ability to innovate in technology. We have a complete technical system of integrated solutions for multi-form robots, covering mobile collaborative robots, heavy-duty mobile platforms and other series of products, of which "tool supermarket" technology fills the domestic gap;

Second, the ability to apply scenarios. Our products have been deeply applied to automobile manufacturing, new energy, robot education and other fields, forming a wealth of industry solutions;

Third, the advantages of platform-based development. With Dalian Intelligent Manufacturing Center as the core, we have linked Beijing R&D Center and local operation service centers to build a complete chain covering R&D, production, application integration and after-sales service.

Part.02."Tool Supermarket" Dalian Manufacturing how to achieve "import substitution"

"Tool Supermarket" integrates the tool life cycle management system and distribution AGV in one, can automatically complete tool storage, visual identification, intelligent distribution, life monitoring and online tool change, to achieve digital traceability from procurement to scrapping. The whole set of software and hardware has independent intellectual property rights, which solves the problems of low efficiency and high loss of traditional manual management, and fills the market gap of domestic automatic intelligent tool management equipment.

Part.03.How can the "Little Giant" of Dalian, who is aiming for the next five years, break through again?

In the future, enterprises will continue to focus on smart manufacturing and smart energy, accelerate the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, provide manufacturing enterprises with more efficient and more adaptable localized solutions, and help Dalian's manufacturing industry with digital and intelligent transformation.
