Interview with Industrial Control Network: With integrated computing and control as the core, SINSEGYE drives the transformation of industrial intelligence
Li Xiaoning, Senior Product Director of SINSEGYE and General Manager of Shanghai Company
On the vast stage of industrial automation, the deep integration of information technology (IT), operational technology (OT), and communication technology (CT) is accelerating industry transformation, outlining a clear outline of an intelligent future. With the advent of the industrial intelligence era, traditional industrial control systems are facing unprecedented innovation challenges and urgently need to integrate cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data analysis, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to ensure they are not eliminated by the tide of the times.
In this industry transformation, as a product oriented enterprise focused on providing integrated solutions for industrial intelligent computer control, SINSEGYE is committed to building a new industrial ecosystem that is open, collaborative, efficient, and intelligently driven, with "iComputer" as its core driving force.
At the 24th China International Industrial Fair, SINSEGYE, as a shining new star in the field of industrial automation, attracted much attention. During the exhibition, Li Xiaoning, Senior Product Director and General Manager of Shanghai Branch of SINSEGYE, accepted the invitation The exclusive interview deeply shared the exploration process and practical achievements of SINSEGYE in the journey of industrial intelligence.
-Cracking the problem of industrial intelligence with "intelligent PC+software definition"
Since its establishment, SINSEGYE has put forward the strategic direction of "realizing industrial intelligence based on intelligent PC technology and software defined technology". Relying on the flexibility of PC hardware architecture and the scalability of software defined product systems, SINSEGYE is committed to achieving technological innovation in the field of industrial automation, injecting unique impetus into the development of the industry.
However, promoting the implementation of the "iComputer+software defined" technology system is not an easy task. Li Xiaoning frankly stated that in this process, SINSEGYE is facing many challenges. Firstly, compared to PC or IT application scenarios, industrial scenarios have diversity and customization characteristics, and require extremely high real-time, stability, and reliability. Secondly, the existence of multiple industrial buses, programming languages, and development environments in industrial scenarios also makes it a major challenge to provide users with a standardized and unified development programming environment. In addition, traditional industrial automation giants have been deeply rooted for a long time, and as a new player in the local market, SINSEGYE is also facing enormous market competition pressure.
As a rapidly growing dark horse in the field of industrial intelligent computers, SINSEGYE's iComputer surpasses traditional PLCs. It not only effectively solves the integration problem between OT and IT, but also has the ability to solve key problems such as the inability to meet the high computing power requirements, program interference, high cost, and insufficient reliability of traditional industrial control.
At present, SINSEGYE has launched multiple iComputer series, including SX2 series, SX5 series, etc. These products integrate high-performance processors and rich interface resources, which can meet high real-time computing requirements. At the same time, SINOGYE's iComputer also has good scalability, supporting multiple communication protocols, making it convenient for customers to configure according to different application scenarios.
SINSEGYE's product family
Li Xiaoning introduced that the iComputer of SINSEGYE has obvious advantages over the traditional control scheme. A set of controllers has the functions of motion control, logic control, machine vision, configuration display and edge computing at the same time, which effectively reduces the number of equipment and reduces the overall procurement and development costs for customers. From the perspective of product planning route and development direction, traditional industrial automation manufacturers mainly rely on mature product ecology and a large customer base to access the market, while SINSEGYE is taking the path of new technology integration, empowering customers through open technology and future oriented IT, OT, CT integration functions. This undoubtedly opens up a vast blue ocean of its own in the fiercely competitive market.

-Leading the integration of new technologies to accurately meet the needs of multiple industries
In recent years, industries such as new energy, automobiles, photovoltaics, and semiconductors have had an extremely urgent demand for the integration of new technologies. Traditional industrial automation products are difficult to meet the application needs of customers due to insufficient closure and openness. Li Xiaoning pointed out that the application scenarios of industries such as semiconductors and photovoltaics usually have the characteristics of high speed, high precision, and multi axis control, so they tend to choose intelligent products such as iComputers. Especially when it comes to visual functions, with the help of artificial intelligence computing and neural network inference computing, product defects can be more accurately identified and sorted. Compared with traditional human recognition, there are significant improvements in speed, efficiency, and accuracy.
In addition, these industries have a common urgent need for new technologies, and have higher requirements for the open functionality of products and flexible platform frameworks. SINSEGYE's products have an open architecture that defines various open interfaces from the bottom layer, facilitating various programming and integration with visual and IT communication protocol interfaces, better meeting customers' needs for integrating process know-how and algorithms.

At present, SINSEGYE's integrated computing and control solutions have been successfully applied to top customers in the fields of photovoltaics, 3C, semiconductors, and energy. As Li Xiaoning said, "The successful cases of these TOP level customers will further attract more potential users' attention and promote the improvement of SINOGYE's influence." In the field of photovoltaics, it can be applied to production processes such as monocrystalline and polycrystalline furnaces to achieve high-speed and high-precision silicon wafer cutting, cleaning, polishing, etc. In the semiconductor industry, SINSEGYE's iComputer supports mainstream industrial communication protocols such as DeviceNet and EtherCAT, ensuring flexibility and broad compatibility for system expansion, and meeting the requirements of multi axis, high-speed, and high-precision synchronous control.
For process industries such as steel and petrochemicals, SINSEGYE is actively laying out DCS systems, committed to making the old and closed DCS systems equipped with intelligent elements. Li Xiaoning said, "Currently, some of our products have been applied in the process petrochemical industry, mainly connected to these industries through software and predictive maintenance. With the improvement of product functions and the gradual expansion of the industrial system, we will gradually enter the process industry, develop towards the DCS system level on the basis of industrial intelligent computers, and accelerate the layout of the process industry
-Empower PC control to promote a new journey of domestic substitution
Currently, the industrial automation industry is in a critical period of rapid transformation, and the trend towards intelligence is becoming increasingly prominent. At the same time, localization has become an important direction for industry development. In such a big environment, enterprises can only stand firm in the fierce market competition by constantly innovating and closely following the pace of technological development.
