In recent years, many in the domestic production of foundry firms are facing a decline in exports, situation of shrinking orders, shanghai-based smic IC manufacturing co., LTD. And Shanghai ZhongHao knitting co., LTD., is repeated success, realize grow in the trough of foreign trade.

Smic, founded in 2000, is the largest in mainland China integrated circuit wafer manufacturing enterprises. Company revenue of $634.3 million in the first quarter of this year, year-on-year growth of 24.4%, a record high, 16 straight quarterly profit; In the first quarter, its revenue growth than the industry average growth, the overall capacity utilization rate reached 98.8%.
IC foundry is a fully international industry, is a global customer service, is facing the global competition. If you want to compete with international giants in the field must have enough capital, technology and talent. The integrated circuit industry there is a famous "Moore's law" phenomenon, namely every about 18 to 24 months, the performance of the integrated circuit will be doubled or unable to follow up will be eliminated.
Chief financial officer and executive vice President of strategic planning Gao Yonggang said, smic's success, is to break the "Moore's law".
Since founded, smic to make autonomous control system of intellectual property rights. So far, an application for a patent for its total more than 12000 pieces of cover 0.35 microns to 28 nm technical ability. Announced in August 2015, smic cooperate with qualcomm, using its 28 nm process process qualcomm processor is successfully applied in mainstream smart phones, pioneered the 28 nm process advanced mobile phone chips will be born the production record in China.
On this basis, further intensify the smic 14 nanotechnology research and development of the next generation. Last year, and huawei, Belgium microelectronics research center (imec) with joint investment, qualcomm smic IC research and development of new technology (Shanghai) co., LTD., is committed to the next generation of advanced logic technology research and development.
Gao Yonggang said, this kind of innovation mode that smic to explore a new road, with the cooperation of technology and capital, through the research and development and production of the industrial resources, development of advanced technology independent research and development ability, and promote the development of industry chain upstream and downstream.
"Is expected in 2016, smic's sales will grow 20% from $2015 in 2.24 billion." Gao Yonggang said.
Similarly, ZhongHao knitting is a foundry industry leading enterprises, the sock is ZhongHao alone for knitting products, products 100% export, created the export performance of 1.2 billion pairs of socks. For two consecutive years, and its exports remain more than 30% growth.
Relying on scientific and technological innovation to realize transformation and upgrading, ZhongHao knitting is the road to success.
Reporters recently in ZhongHao knitting factory in Shanghai see, hundreds of mobile intelligent robot tension, orderly and efficient operation.
"We are the first to use domestic intelligent robot manufacturing socks." ZhongHao knitting President Gao Baolin is introduced. Since 2013, ZhongHao knitting machine will take the lead in Shanghai plant and r&d center transformed all intelligent robot to production line, has successfully launched 700, will increase to 1200 by 2017.
Upgrade made "smart", make the ZhongHao knitting production efficiency greatly. Management in domestic at present, the industry average a mechanic 6 hosiery machine, and the intelligent robot ZhongHao knitting production line, one skilled technicians can manage 68 hosiery machine in each group.
Reporter understanding, in order to occupy the international market share, ZhongHao knitting actively grasp the market; Closer to the exporter to consumer demand, they are still in Kyoto, Japan and the United States, New York and other places has a design office, hire a local designer to design the product; In order to maintain competitive advantage, ZhongHao knitting in the ongoing technological innovation at the same time, leads the market to develop new products.
