Recently, our school, in collaboration with Meiyun Zhishu, has launched the Meidi Digital Lighthouse Academy, which embodies decades of manufacturing business practice and digital transformation experience of Meidi Group, at Shenyang Institute of Technology, pioneering a new model of school enterprise cooperation that integrates industry and education.
Shen Gongmei Digital Lighthouse Academy aims to cultivate practical, innovative, and versatile digital talents that are urgently needed and unique in modern manufacturing enterprises, and to achieve the initiative of graduates in employment and career choice.
Shengong Midea Digital Lighthouse Academy aims to utilize the advanced enterprise's research, production, supply and marketing management full chain digital training and teaching environment to create an education and training mode with the characteristics of industry education integration from business practice, software use, digital training, and the application of new technologies such as generative artificial intelligence (AIGC). It further enhances the digital awareness of the faculty, meets the needs of digital talent cultivation in the manufacturing industry, external visits and exchanges, empowerment training, and other aspects, and enhances the digital teaching ability in multiple dimensions, providing practical, innovative, and composite digital talents for society and enterprises.
Shenyang Gongmei Digital Lighthouse Academy provides corresponding services for different groups at different stages: experiential perception for freshmen, immersive teaching for senior students, pre employment practical exercises for graduates, AIGC workshops and competitions for all students, digital talent certification, and digital lighthouse training courses for social enterprises, universities, and governments.
Freshman students can learn about modern manufacturing organization and process systems through experiential learning, understand the full value chain digital operation of digital enterprises from orders to delivery, establish a perception of enterprise digitalization concepts, and lay a cognitive foundation for their professional choices and career direction determination after enrollment. During the teaching period of senior professional courses, the entire chain of research, production, supply and marketing management is integrated into the application of digital systems, strengthening the connection between theory and practice, and cultivating digital business and technical abilities. During the internship and practical training period of the graduation class, deeply participate in and innovate the entire value chain of digital enterprises in the form of comprehensive job practice, and accompany one kilometer before graduation. Through workshops and competitions, students will learn about the application of big language models and generative artificial intelligence (AIGC) in enterprises, explore innovative AIGC application scenarios, and experience how enterprises can transform AIGC and other innovative technologies into core business capabilities to enhance competitiveness. Introduce Midea Digital Talent Certification (Junior and Intermediate) recognized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, enhance the digital awareness and application ability of manufacturing talents, and obtain social/enterprise recognition. At the same time, organize digital empowerment training for enterprises, universities, and governments in the form of digital lighthouse training courses.
Based on the urgent demand of modern manufacturing enterprises for the integration of automation, lean, and digitization, Shenyang Institute of Technology Midea Digital Lighthouse Academy focuses on cultivating digital talents who can connect the entire value chain of manufacturing enterprises on the basis of Midea KUKA Academy (automation).
On the basis of traditional ERP teaching, Shengong Midea Digital Lighthouse Academy further adapts to the digital environment and development trend of modern enterprises. Based on decades of manufacturing business practice and digital transformation experience of Midea Group, a benchmark enterprise in modern manufacturing, as well as the Meiqing Industrial Software Platform, which includes 11 software products in the research, production, supply, and sales management fields, the entire process of research, production, supply, and sales management is connected around the business framework of enterprise digital transformation. Combined with new generation technology applications such as industrial big data, industrial simulation, and digital twins, it realizes the full process scenario from product planning to product research and development, process simulation, from sales orders to production planning, material procurement, production execution, finished product warehousing and delivery.
Based on the different learning stages of students, through the corresponding 13 product technology course systems and comprehensive practical teaching in the entire value chain field, we aim to build digital awareness, relevant digital system applications, and digital system implementation capabilities at the grassroots level of digital enterprises, master the innovation capabilities of big data, simulation, and digital twin technologies, and rely on the generative artificial intelligence (AIGC) platform deployed on four high-performance GPU servers to explore AIGC innovative application scenarios and experience how enterprises can transform AIGC and other innovative technologies into core business capabilities.
By showcasing the three-dimensional campus, campus roaming routes, operational monitoring indicators, classroom idle status, campus achievements, and training course releases through the cockpit of Shenyang Midea Digital Lighthouse Academy, and through three factory digital roaming scenarios, Midea digital technology and lighthouse factory videos and enterprise cases, as well as 10 training areas' business domain billboards, students can immerse themselves in the digital scene of modern enterprises.
According to big data analysis, the salary level of the intelligent manufacturing engineering industry has increased by about 8% -10% annually in the past five years on average, and is expected to maintain a growth trend of 10% -15% in the next 5-10 years. Especially in the fields of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and industrial Internet, the salary growth potential is huge. Graduates who are proficient in intelligent manufacturing related technologies (such as industrial robot programming, data analysis, cloud computing, etc.) have significantly higher salary levels than ordinary graduates.
By studying at Shenyang Institute of Technology Midea Digital Lighthouse Academy, students can gain an understanding of the full value chain business processes and related skills of modern manufacturing enterprises before graduation. Through the study of product technology courses, students can initially master basic skills; Through the study and practice of the comprehensive job practice course, on the one hand, I have a deeper understanding of the entire value chain, and on the other hand, my resume can reflect my practical experience in various positions in modern manufacturing enterprises. During the interview, I also have a common language with the interviewers of related positions in modern manufacturing enterprises, which improves the interview pass rate.
Based on the idea of school enterprise cooperation, we provide internship opportunities and recommend employment opportunities for outstanding graduates studying at Shenyang Institute of Technology Midea Digital Lighthouse College.
At the same time, with the help of Shenyang Gongmei Digital Lighthouse Academy, we provide product technology training, lighthouse factory study tour opportunities, and digital talent certification (recognized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) services to regional enterprises.
