"There is a star in Chinese clocks, and it is the North Star of Yantai."Polaris is the origin of modern Chinese clock industry.It has a history of 105 years since its establishment in 1915.It is a well-known Chinese time-honored brand with a history of hundreds of years and rich heritage. Yantai Clock and Watch Research Institute Co., Ltd. is like a leader in time technology, creating the brilliance of the Polaris Technology sector.
Yantai Clock and Watch Research Institute Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yantai Polaris State-owned Holding Co., Ltd. and is also the company’s technology development center.It is a domestic special technical clock research and development base and a nationally recognized high-tech enterprise.Since its establishment in 1975, the company has been committed to promoting Polaris Time Technology to stand at the top of the industry and the forefront of the world, leading the new trend of cutting-edge time technology. In October 2018, the company moved to Yantai High-tech Zone and became an important member of Liandong U Valley International Enterprise Innovation Port.
In the company's product exhibition hall, Hu Jianfeng, chairman of Yantai Watch Research Institute Co., Ltd., introduced the product to reporters in detail.Many products that pioneered the technology in the domestic clock field were born here.Dozens of products such as small quartz clocks, ship clocks, ship master and slave clocks, microcomputer tower clocks, large-area clock systems, urban rail transit network center clock systems, and high-speed railway passenger line time synchronization systems were first developed by the institute.Over the years, it has won many national, provincial and municipal scientific and technological awards.
As early as 1996, the institute developed and manufactured a large-scale regional time control system in China, setting a precedent for the localization of automatic control synchronous clock systems, and rewriting the history of my country's long-term reliance on imports for large-scale regional time systems.This product is an automatic control clock system that integrates modern electronic technology, computer technology, information technology and traditional watch manufacturing technology. It adopts high-tech means such as microcomputer monitoring and satellite time scale calibration, which greatly expands the scope of time control. It has many advantages such as high degree of automation, high time accuracy, wide control range, easy operation and convenient maintenance. It is particularly suitable for occasions such as subways, light rails, railways, airports, large modern buildings, etc. that span large areas and require centralized, accurate and synchronous time control.
Time is very abstract, yet it is everywhere, and it can be said to be the most difficult thing to do. In the field of time technology, there is no safety without reliability. For equipment to run in a unified manner, there must be a unified time instruction. In this process, we must solve the problem of time delay and resolutely not allow the slightest error to occur.
Hu Jianfeng said that in order to ensure the accuracy of the time,The products of the institute are all calibrated in nanoseconds.The product can support switching of multiple time sources such as Beidou and GPS. The accuracy level of reference time sources such as high-precision rubidium atomic clocks can reach 10-12 orders of magnitude, meeting the needs of high-end users such as scientific research.
As the saying goes, "flowers bloom inside the wall, and the fragrance spreads outside the wall." Polaris has risen in the high-tech field with a traditional brand, accompanying the rapid development of China's rail transit, high-speed rail and economic development. With advanced technology, high-quality products and honest services, it has won wide favor from domestic and foreign users. It is reported that Polaris clock systems are used in many city subways such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Nanjing, and Urumqi, as well as many high-speed rail projects such as the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway, Beijing-Xiong'an High-Speed Railway, Beijing-Guangzhou High-Speed Railway, Ningbo-Taizhou-Wenzhou High-Speed Railway, and Fuzhou-Xiamen High-Speed Railway.Beijing, which has the longest operating mileage in the world, has the largest market share in the subway and the largest market share in the high-speed rail industry. It also has numerous engineering achievements in airports, buildings, stadiums, etc.
The institute actively integrates into the overall economic and trade development of the "Belt and Road" countries with its keen perception. Many subways, high-speed railways, airports and other projects in countries along the "Belt and Road" such as Egypt, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Congo, Vietnam, Iran, etc. have adopted the Polaris clock system, and the performance of "Belt and Road" projects ranks first in the industry. The institute has successively won honors such as the National Light Industry Science and Technology Innovation Advanced Collective, Excellent Performance Advanced Enterprise, Shandong Province Innovation-Driven Development Advanced Enterprise, and Contract-abiding and Credit-worthy Enterprise.
