Ningbo Investigation and Research Institute of Metallurgical Industry is a research, planning, design and consulting institution affiliated to Metallurgical Industry Department of Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Since its establishment in 1958, has been pioneering in the fields of metallurgical and chemical engineering, undergoing continuous transformation, keeping pace with the latest industrial trends, and exploring the high-speed development path of Metallurgical Industry.
The Institute is dedicated to the research, development and design of innovative technologies, equipment and processes in metallurgy and chemical engineering, as well as to the promotion and application of new technologies. In terms of engineering practices and project management, we have accumulated rich experience, and are dedicated to providing customers with high quality services.
The institute commits itself to providing project services to customers both at home and abroad, carrying out Research and Development regarding industrial processes and equipment in the areas of metallurgy and chemical engineering. It keeps actively exploring advanced production technologies and services that can provide support to the development of metallurgical industry. Through continuously gathering intelligence and benchmarking with current development of Chinese and foreign Metallurgy Industry, it provides consulting services and project implementation plans for better development.
The institute is currently among the leading agencies for introduction and application of advanced production technologies in the field of metallurgy and chemical engineering. It has completed study and application of hot rolling process for ultra-high strength shear sheet production, production line for seamless steel tubes and automatic conveying system for sheet steel, and insulation of continuous casting machine for stainless steel.
Moreover, the institute is a leader in the application of advanced quality management systems. It was one of the earliest ones to be identified as the ‘Quality Management Advanced Unit’ by Quality Management in China. In order to provide better quality assurance services to metallurgical industry, the institute has established ‘Quality Certification Centre’. The ‘Centre’ not only provides businesses with strict and consistent quality assessment, quality control and assurance services, but also help rectify loopholes in the production process and enhance capacity for adaptation and innovation of metal industry throughout the country.
In the face of the changing labour market driven by automation, the institute is dedicated to pursuing innovative strategies to streamline processes and foster cooperation between workers and management. To achieve this goal, the institute has made a number of breakthroughs in the area of artificial intelligence and data analysis that automates processes, reduces manual errors and improves efficiency.
The institute has developed an application platform which combines mobile devices, cloud services and internet of things to optimise project management, real-time data analysis, asset allocation and resource control in the production process. By leveraging these cutting edge technologies, the institute is striving to enhance the competitiveness of China’s Metallurgical Industry globally.
Ningbo Investigation and Research Institute of Metallurgical Industry is striving to bring excellent metallurgical industry solutions to users in China as well as around the world by staying abreast of the ever-evolving science and technologies and taking into account customers’ needs. The institute is dedicated to providing superior services to the metal industry, enabling China to take a solid position in the global market.
