From intelligent inspection of tunnels by robots, to real-time monitoring of power supply safety by AI, and to exploring new maintenance models for the future through "low altitude+robot" technology - these cutting-edge technologies are accelerating their integration into Wuxi's subway network. On December 23, the National Engineering Research Center Wuxi Branch of Urban Rail Transit Digital Construction and Evaluation Technology was officially inaugurated. This is not only a major event for Wuxi's rail transit industry, but also a crucial step in closely integrating the industrial advantages and scene demands of the Yangtze River Delta with the national strategic scientific and technological strength. It marks Wuxi's transformation from an application user of rail transit to a source of technological innovation and output of achievements.

Build a national level 'pilot conversion hub'

The National Engineering Research Center Wuxi Branch, established this time, is an important innovation carrier for the national layout in the Yangtze River Delta. It is not simply a laboratory, but a "pilot scale transformation hub" positioned to connect cutting-edge technology with engineering practice. Relying on the research and development strength of the national level main center and the local industrial and scene advantages of Wuxi, the sub center will focus on two directions: "urban rail digitization" and "urban rail greening", committed to tackling key technologies such as intelligent operation and maintenance, vibration reduction and noise reduction, and transforming the results into replicable and promotable "Wuxi solutions" and "Wuxi products".

Seven major technologies and eight signed contracts simultaneously

At the unveiling ceremony, Wuxi Metro showcased seven major technological achievements covering the entire construction and operation chain, including the seamless operation of Line S1 and Line 1, the assembly of stacked stations, and the control of vibration and noise in all scenarios. At the same time, eight technology incubation projects have been signed and implemented, involving core and cutting-edge fields such as intelligent control, detection robots, AI power supply monitoring, intelligent security inspection and fire protection. This vividly reflects the dual attributes of the Wuxi branch center as a "research and development platform+industrial incubator", demonstrating a complete innovation loop from technological breakthroughs to industrial landing.

Empowering industries and promoting high-quality regional development

The establishment of sub centers has significance far beyond a single scientific research institution. It aims to build a complete chain of "innovation application promotion" and become a key node in the upgrading of the Yangtze River Delta rail transit industry chain. By solving common technological bottlenecks in the industry, promoting overall upgrading of industrial technology, and ultimately injecting strong scientific and technological innovation momentum into the construction of Wuxi's "465" modern industrial cluster and the high-quality development of the "Yangtze River Delta on track". A rail transit collaborative innovation ecosystem with Wuxi as the pivot and radiating to the Yangtze River Delta is accelerating its formation.
