In the production workshop, steam permeates the groove of the vacuum pump, and the extremely fine metal conductor is treated with chloride solution, painted three times, and then coated with insulation film to finally produce a finished electromagnetic wire with a diameter of only 0.012 millimeters. This is the ultimate process for mass producing electromagnetic wires in China, equivalent to one-fifth of the diameter of a human hair. ”Xiang Binglun, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Baiyin Nonferrous Changtong Wire and Cable Company, said, "They are mainly used in high-precision electronic devices such as widescreen touch screens, hearing aids, and pacemakers, which account for 70% of the company's revenue. Baiyin City, which is established as a mining enterprise and a city, is an old industrial base in Gansu Province. At the beginning of development, it created a brilliant achievement of being the first in copper and sulfur production, output value, and profits and taxes in the country for 18 consecutive years. Since its restoration in 1985, the Baiyin people have built a new industrial city on the barren Gobi Desert with their hands. In recent years, this traditional industrial city has been revitalized in its transformation and upgrading, striving to build a modern industrial cluster in Gansu. We insist on focusing on transformation and upgrading, gathering momentum for breakthroughs, and allowing traditional industries to 'sprout new shoots' and emerging industries to' grow strong branches'. ”Liu Huquan, Deputy Mayor of Baiyin City, said that while continuously promoting the revitalization and upgrading of traditional industries such as non-ferrous metals, chemicals, coal, and electricity, Baiyin City is vigorously developing emerging industries such as new materials, biomedicine, and new energy. In 2024, the total industrial output value of Baiyin City exceeded 100 billion yuan for the first time, reaching 111.94 billion yuan. Technological innovation continuously injects new vitality into the transformation and upgrading of Baiyin City. Baiyin City has two national level "golden signboards": the Lanbai National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone and the Science and Technology Innovation Reform Pilot Zone. The built-up area of Baiyin National High tech Zone covers 102.7 square kilometers, and in recent years, it has cultivated 5 "little giant" enterprises, 138 high-tech enterprises, 75 provincial-level specialized, refined, new, small and medium-sized enterprises, and 95 science and technology innovation enterprises, respectively. It has also established 31 national and provincial-level enterprise technology centers. With the help of technology, the workshop accelerates the "smart transformation and digital transformation", and products are transformed from raw materials to new materials. Baiyin Nonferrous Group Co., Ltd. relies on the technological transformation of the only domestically owned "Baiyin Furnace" with independent intellectual property rights to achieve intelligent and efficient smelting processes; Gansu Rare Earth New Materials Co., Ltd. has built the largest single rare earth extraction and separation production line in China, with products widely used in high-end fields such as aerospace and new energy; Silver Age Ruixiang New Materials Company has built the largest single scale lithium manganese phosphate production line in China. In the central control room of Ruixiang New Materials Technology Company in the Silver Age, a huge electronic screen displays the real-time operation status of the lithium manganese iron phosphate production workshop. Five technical personnel operate the computer system to regulate various aspects of production. This is currently the largest single unit scale lithium manganese iron phosphate production project in China, which has basically achieved full process automation. From production to equipment monitoring, instructions can be directly issued in this central control room. "Tian Yong, the deputy general manager of the company, introduced that the new lithium-ion battery cathode material produced by the enterprise can be widely used in the fields of smartphones and new energy vehicles. Emerging industries are thriving and the industrial chain is constantly extending. The deep processing projects of 200000 tons of high conductivity new materials, 300000 tons of aluminum profiles, and 100000 tons of aluminum rods have been completed and put into operation. The technology of rare earth materials, high-purity rhenium, tellurium, and ultrafine electromagnetic wires is leading in the country, and the production of electronic grade lithium fluoride ranks first in the country... In the first half of this year, the added value of strategic emerging industries in Baiyin City increased by 17.9%. In the factory of Gansu Kangshida Contact Lens Co., Ltd. in Yinxi Industrial Park, the intelligent production line operates efficiently, unmanned transport vehicles shuttle in an orderly manner, and the entire process is highly automated. We have fully achieved self production, self operation, and self sales, with an annual output of 240 million contact lenses, "said Tang Yuxi, the general manager of the company." Currently, for every 10 contact lenses sold nationwide, 3 of them come from our company. "Technology is accelerating iteration, the industrial chain continues to extend, modern industrial industries are accelerating agglomeration, and old industrial bases are rejuvenating. Tao Yingping, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Gansu Province, stated that since 2024, the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology has arranged 22.05 million yuan of provincial-level special funds to support the construction of key projects, issued 33.64 million yuan of incentive funds to stimulate enterprise innovation, and actively supported industrial docking to promote the landing of investment projects, taking multiple measures to assist the industrial development of Baiyin City.
