The competitive logic of core components for robots is undergoing a silent but profound shift.

Over the past decade, the industry's main theme has been domestic substitution, addressing the question of

“

whether there is

”

; while in the next five years, the main theme will shift to

“

whether it is strong or not

”, addressing the question of “ whether it is user-friendly and whether it can be defined ”.

When humanoid robots raise the demand for power-to-weight ratio

further

push

High, when collaborative robots become increasingly sensitive to joint volume and weight, and when industrial robots continue to deepen in the high rigidity direction while accelerating towards precision and lightweighting, the core issue of the precision transmission industry is no longer just merely Yes “ being able to produce reduction gears ” but has been upgraded to technological route autonomy “ As stated by Zhang Yueming, Chief Scientist of Zhitong and Professor at Beijing University of Technology ”.

said:

Manufacturing freedom originates from

knowing why it is so

We aim to fully master the fundamental theories, possess our own technological routes, and thus lead the world.

organizational structure: Beijing headquarters is responsible for product definition, market expansion, and system solution output; Shijiazhuang manufacturing base takes charge of technology transformation and large-scale production; Beijing Zhiti Gongda University Intelligent Transmission Technology Research Institute focuses on gear transmission theory research and cutting-edge technology breakthroughs..., Competition in the industry has never been only about a single technology or market. It is a combined contest of research and development systems, manufacturing capabilities, supply chain efficiency and global service networks. Based on this understanding,..

Led by its Beijing headquarters, it draws on the three national strategies of coordinated Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei development, Yangtze River Delta integration and the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, using Europe and Asia as footholds for overseas expansion to build an efficient global supply chain and market service network....

Beijing, as the global R&D headquarters, focusing on product innovation and core technology breakthroughs, leveraging The 'leading figure' role sets the strategic direction and provides technological empowerment for each base; Shijiazhuang, As an industrial base in North China for the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, it will undertake technology transformation and large-scale production of core products, ensuring the stability of the domestic supply chain and cost advantages; Kunshan, As an industrial base in East China for the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, it is close to the customer cluster in the Yangtze River Delta, enabling rapid market response and technical support; Shunde, As its southern China base in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, it will serve the Pearl River Delta in depth, reach Southeast Asian markets and strengthen the brand's regional influence; The planned German and Japanese service centers, As the two overseas bases of its globalization strategy, they are Zhitong Technology's main front-line locations for global competition. By bringing together international talent and resources, they serve European, Asian and global markets and strengthen the brand's international competitiveness and global operating capabilities.

Therefore, establishing a presence in Shunde is not only an expansion of production capacity, but also a structural upgrade of global service capabilities, marking.

Its globalization strategy now formally includes the southern China region.
