Recently, at the 2022 Changzhou "April 26 World Intellectual Property Day" themed event and the Provincial Patent Transformation Key City Construction Promotion Conference, the Changzhou Municipal Government announced the commendation decision and awarded prizes for the fifth Changzhou Patent Award. Gu Ren (also known as Gu Jinhua), Chairman of Changzhou Hongda Technology (Group), received the "Fifth Changzhou Excellent Inventor Award."

　　In addition, in the recently released 2021 "Science and Technology Innovation China" series rankings, the industrial application and promotion technology of fabric image whole-flower and whole-weft technology based on artificial intelligence technology developed by Changzhou Hongda Electric Co., Ltd. was selected for the 2021 "Science and Technology Innovation China" Leading Technology List. Changzhou Hongda Electric Co., Ltd. was selected for the 2021 "Science and Technology Innovation China" Emerging Enterprise List. Changzhou Hongda is the only company in the textile machinery industry to be listed.

　　Changzhou Hongda Technology, specializing in the research and development of digital online measurement and control products for textile printing and dyeing, has a very high market share in China for its online detection products of printing and dyeing process parameters.
　　For 30 years, Changzhou Hongda has been committed to innovation. In 2005, the "online detection of printing and dyeing processes" it developed won the first prize of Sangma Textile Science and Technology, leading the whole-flower and whole-weft machine to reach the international leading level and winning the first prize of scientific and technological progress of the China Textile Industry Federation. This original technology ended the era in the printing and dyeing industry where there was only whole-weft but no whole-flower, realizing mass production and greatly improving the quality of China's textile processing, especially the quality of printed fabrics, jacquard fabrics, lace, and color-woven fabrics. In 2020, the China Textile Machinery Association awarded Changzhou Hongda the establishment of the "Image Whole-Flower and Whole-Weft Machine Product R&D Center" in the Chinese textile industry. In the same year, Changzhou Hongda's world's first "Hawk Vision flexible intelligent weft inserting machine" achieved a major breakthrough and innovation, ushering in a new chapter in the history of weft inserting machine development.

　　When talking about Changzhou Hongda's R&D experience, Gu Ren, chairman of Changzhou Hongda Electric Co., Ltd., told a reporter from "China Textile News": "From the beginning of our business, we clarified our development goals. For more than 30 years, Changzhou Hongda has always kept pace with advanced control technology, persisted in innovation, and stuck to its own path. Today, our whole-flower and whole-weft machines have reached the world's leading level. The latest Hawk Vision flexible intelligent weft inserting machine will undoubtedly become a technological benchmark in this field again, providing strong support for the high-quality development of products in China's textile industry."

　　Gu Ren said: "For our products, we pursue innovation, refinement, and excellence—these six words are our foundation, which we have consistently upheld for nearly 30 years. Product innovation is Changzhou Hongda's advantage. Our innovative ability is not about minor improvements, but about discovering more original innovations. Summarizing years of experience, we are good at discovering the market, discovering customer needs, and discovering some regular patterns in the R&D process. This is Changzhou Hongda's strength. For many years, our products have been almost entirely innovative. We also know that while focusing on product R&D, we must also refine our products to create more value for our customers."
　　In fact, Changzhou Hongda's investment in R&D is far more than that. Based on the dyeing factory's needs for intelligence and digitalization, Changzhou Hongda set its sights on online detection 20 years ago. Through continuous R&D investment, learning exchanges, and experimental summaries, it has successfully developed a series of products, providing strong support and assistance to the industry and laying a solid foundation for the intelligent development of the printing and dyeing industry.

　　"After years of development, in addition to our current whole-flower and whole-weft machines, we have also conducted in-depth development in the entire shaping machine intelligent system, including a world-original weight system. Changzhou Hongda's weight system detection uses digital technology to solve the problem of weight measurement. This technology can provide better assistance and support to enterprises in intelligent manufacturing." Gu Ren told the reporter.
　　When talking about Changzhou Hongda's development plan, Gu Ren said: "In the future, we will build an intelligent shaping machine system based on artificial intelligence technology to solve the problems currently judged by manual experience and produced through manual experience. We will truly use data and digitalization to carry out production from the source, building the entire digital manufacturing industry chain of the future. This is what we are currently doing. We have also made technological arrangements in the dyeing machine field, not only conducting continuous research on the dyeing machine process control but also developing the result control. In this field, we help enterprises to improve and upgrade, ultimately building a good ecological environment in the entire printing and dyeing industry chain, using digital technology and intelligent manufacturing to improve the industry's sustainable development, and using the industrial internet, artificial intelligence technology, and digital twin technology to build a new generation of printing and dyeing digital manufacturing platform!"
