Yin Chunhua and the team visited the group's 5G exhibition hall, Tiankang Industrial Internet platform, and the digital production line for flow meters, getting a detailed look at the company's R&D innovation system, core product technologies, digital transformation progress, and market operations.

On the research site, the Group Chairman Zhao Kuan gave Yin Chunhua a full report on the company's innovation and development plans. Over the years, Tiankang Group has been deeply involved in the high-end instrumentation field, placing great importance on building a scientific and technological innovation system. In 2024, it was recognised as a national-level enterprise technology centre while also establishing a complete innovation platform matrix of 'one institute, two stations, three labs, four centres' to empower high-quality development. As the vice-chairman unit of the China Instrument and Control Society, the group's temperature instruments have held the top domestic market share for more than ten years and rank among the top three globally. In recent years, the group has been advancing 'smart transformation and digitalisation', promoting integrated human-machine-development, and building a '1 4 N' digital application system. By 2025, the 'Tiankang Cloud Industrial Internet Platform' was selected as a key industrial internet platform in Anhui Province, the 'high-precision measurement and control equipment 5G factory' was successfully recognised as a national 5G factory, and the achievements in digital and intelligent construction received national-level recognition.

The group's general manager Mao Wenzhang highlighted on-site the company's own core products, including high-precision thin-film temperature sensing chips made using MEMS film technology, which can cover temperatures from extremely low to ultra-high, offering high stability, shock resistance, and miniature high precision. These are widely used in high-end sectors such as aerospace, advanced energy, petrochemicals, automotive manufacturing, and medical electronics. Key temperature measurement products like COT cracking furnace thermocouples and nuclear power dedicated thermocouples have achieved domestic technological replacements, breaking the monopoly of foreign products.

Yin Chunhua fully acknowledged the development achievements of Anhui Tiankang Group over the years in deeply cultivating industry and adhering to independent innovation, and highly recognised the practical spirit of Chairman Zhao Kuan in leading the company to focus on innovation and tackle core technologies. Yin Chunhua pointed out that innovation is the primary driver of high-quality enterprise development. As a local leading enterprise that has been listed among China's top 500 manufacturing companies for many years, Tiankang should fully play its role as an industry benchmark, continuously strengthen core technology research, increase R&D investment, and drive product upgrades and expand domestic and international markets through technological breakthroughs. He encouraged the company to continue consolidating the foundation of independent innovation, constantly enhance the international competitiveness of national brands, focus on revitalising national industry through solid industrial development, actively serve the overall plan of national modern industrial construction, and continuously contribute Tiankang's strength.

Zhao Kuan, chairman of the group, said that Anhui Tiankang Group will firmly follow an innovation-driven, digitally empowered development path, continue to improve its tech innovation platforms, tackle critical measurement and control technologies, strengthen its core high-end instrument business, explore emerging sectors like new energy and advanced equipment, and fully expand and strengthen its national manufacturing brand to make a bigger contribution to the high-quality development of Anhui's real economy.
