As a national strategic high-tech industry, the optoelectronic information sector represents a priority field where China is well-positioned to achieve pioneering breakthroughs. Recently, an expert group headed by Academician Jiang Huilin of the Chinese Academy of Engineering conducted an on-site research visit to Changchun Boxin Photoelectric Co., Ltd. A panel of academicians and experts from universities and research institutes toured the enterprise to assess industrial development trends and offer suggestions for technological innovation and future growth. Their visit fully demonstrates the high attention paid by academicians and experts to the development of Jilin Province’s optoelectronic industry as well as Changchun Boxin Photoelectric Co., Ltd.
The visiting expert group comprised multiple academicians, research specialists and management experts: Academician Jiang Huilin (Chinese Academy of Engineering, Changchun University of Science and Technology), Academician Wang Lijun (Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, CAS), Academician Lin Jun (Chinese Academy of Engineering, Jilin University), Wang Hongyan (Jilin Provincial Military-Civil Integration Development Service Center), Chen Tao (Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, CAS), Professor Liu Zhi (Changchun University of Science and Technology), Professor Yu Han, Professor Jiang Hong (Jilin University), together with numerous researchers from Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenyang Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Jilin University and Changchun University of Science and Technology. The company’s management team, key technical backbones, as well as alumni representatives from Changchun University of Science and Technology took part in the research and exchange activities.
On-Site Visit: First-hand Insight into the Company’s Core Strength
The expert delegation first visited the product exhibition area on the 1st-floor reception lobby. They viewed core optical exhibits and watched the corporate promotional video to gain intuitive understanding of the company’s development history, product portfolio, market applications and industrial contributions.
The group then moved to the conference room on the third floor for a special symposium. At the meeting, the company delivered a comprehensive report covering business operation status, core process capabilities, product application achievements and future development plans. Alumni-engineers from Changchun University of Science and Technology held interactive discussions with visiting experts on industry trends, further strengthening industry-university-research ties.
Following the symposium, experts went deep into front-line production workshops. They toured the cylindrical lens polishing production line, assembly and commissioning area for telephoto lenses, precision-instrument inspection laboratory, ultra-precision machining workshop and large ring-swinging polishing workshop. The experts observed the full manufacturing workflow of optical components in detail, and made in-depth inquiries about machining challenges, process control, product inspection and mass-delivery capacity. They acknowledged the company’s dedication to precision optical manufacturing and its efforts to secure supply of fundamental components for the optoelectronic industry.
Remarks from Academicians: Seizing New Opportunities for the Optoelectronic Industry
During exchanges, Academician Jiang Huilin elaborated on the national strategic positioning of the optoelectronic information industry — a widely-applied high-tech sector where China can realize pioneering advances. Against the backdrop of Northeast China revitalization and Jilin Province’s No.1 Project to build “China Optoelectronics City”, the academician pointed out that scientific instruments and optical components form the cornerstone of industrial development. Optical instruments serve as a multiplier for industrial production, a forerunner for scientific research, and a key enabler for national defense capabilities. He encouraged the enterprise to grasp historic opportunities, uphold independent innovation, leverage Jilin’s industrial advantages, strengthen industry-university-research collaboration, and further develop high-performance precision optical components and lenses to support breakthroughs in China’s domestic optoelectronic scientific instruments.
The expert group recognized Changchun Boxin Photoelectric Co., Ltd.’s long-term dedication to precision optical components and custom optical lenses, as well as its tangible contributions to the optoelectronic supply chain. Meanwhile, they put forward valuable guiding suggestions for high-quality corporate development in terms of technology iteration, talent cultivation and industry-university-research collaboration.
Forge Ahead, Uphold Real-economy Development and Shoulder the Mission of the Times
This research visit by the academician-led expert panel is both recognition of Boxin Photoelectric’s existing technical strength and industrial contribution, and great encouragement and impetus for its future development.
As a local optoelectronic manufacturer rooted in Changchun, Changchun Boxin Photoelectric Co., Ltd. has long focused on precision optics. Specializing in the R&D and production of optical components and custom optical lenses, it delivers supporting solutions for industrial optoelectronics, aerospace scientific research, laser equipment and other sectors. Amid the national drive to grow the optoelectronic information industry, Boxin Photoelectric will act on guidance from experts, seize the historic opportunity brought by Jilin’s “China Optoelectronics City” initiative, continuously refine manufacturing processes, consolidate production foundations, actively engage innovation resources from industry-university-research partnerships, overcome technical challenges, and strive to contribute to the high-quality development of China’s optoelectronic industry.
