In order to vigorously promote the industrial upgrading of high-end laser core technology and equipment, cultivate cutting-edge R&D talents to accelerate corporate technological innovation, enhance endogenous development momentum, and create a new ecology of the new energy vehicle manufacturing industry chain. On January 15, 2025, Institute of Advanced Manufacturing Technology for Optoelectronics-Wuhan Newlas (hereinafter referred to as the Institute) was officially established.
The optoelectronics industry is currently the most innovative, driving, and permeable industry in the world, and is also the key support for core laser welding technologies. The establishment of the Research Institute is based on a deep insight into this industry trend. The core mission of the institute is to focus on the key challenges of optoelectronic advanced manufacturing technologies and conduct cutting-edge, basic, and applied research. Newlas has mastered the core technologies of high-speed motion control and online quality monitoring. The products developed by the team, such as high-power laser scanning welding systems and LWD penetration detection welding systems, have broken the foreign monopoly, solved the “bottleneck” problem of core components, and ensured industry safety.
The Institute will actively promote the transformation of scientific research results, accelerate the promotion and application of new technologies, new processes and new equipment, and help enterprises improve quality, increase efficiency and reduce costs. Based on the continuous technological research and development and innovation of Newlas, a series of leading scientific research results have been achieved in the field of optoelectronic manufacturing technology, and a number of core technologies and patents with independent intellectual property rights have been formed, which have been encouraged and recognized by the society. It has successively won the honorary titles of National Specialized and New “Little Giant” Enterprise, National Science and Technology Small and Medium Enterprises, Hubei Province Manufacturing Single Champion Enterprise, Wuhan Enterprise Research and Development Center, etc.
Institute of Advanced Manufacturing Technology for Optoelectronics-Wuhan Newlas has lofty ambitions. It will integrate the advantageous resources of all parties through in-depth cooperation with universities, research institutions and upstream and downstream enterprises, form a powerful synergy for collaborative innovation, and is committed to conquering more key core technologies of high-end intelligent control and detection, promoting the transformation of the optoelectronics industry to intelligent manufacturing, green manufacturing, and precision manufacturing, empowering industrial upgrading, providing solid technical support for the independent control of my country’s core laser components, contributing Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to the development of the global optoelectronics industry, and making “Made in China” shine on the world stage.
We look forward to more outstanding high-level talents from home and abroad joining the Institute in the future, to feel the surge of innovative power and witness the changes in industrial innovation. The Institute will uphold the concept of openness, cooperation, innovation and win-win, and join hands with all parties to lead us to a new era of technology that is more intelligent, convenient and beautiful!
