1、 Entrepreneurial experience

Dr. Ma Jun's entrepreneurial journey is full of crossover and exploration. After graduating with a PhD from the Institute of Computing Technology, After joining the Chinese Academy, he worked in two jobs before embarking on his entrepreneurial journey, venturing into the e-commerce and chip industries.

Dr. Ma Jun stated that during his entrepreneurial experience, he saw computer automation and large-scale industry as important directions for China's future. Based on this logic, the Institute of Computing Technology and Chinese Academy injected strong "technological blood" into Sinsegye. He firmly believes that in the future, automation will move towards intelligence like smartphones and cars, and Sinsegye will be a leader and promoter of computerized automation.

2、 Industrial automation computerization and traditional industrial automation

Dr. Ma Jun believes that industrial automation computerization refers to the integration of computing and control processes in industrial sites with computer technology, promoting their development towards unified and efficient computer systems. Many functions that originally relied on hardware implementation are gradually being replaced by software.

Compared to traditional industrial automation, computerized automation emphasizes system unity and efficiency, significantly enhancing the role of software, while traditional methods focus more on hardware applications.

3、 The Current Development Status of Industrial Software in China

We still have a lot of work to do in the area of basic software.

In Dr. Ma Jun's opinion, China's industrial system is actually very sound in manufacturing, with each industry having its own comprehensive solutions. However, in the field of software segmentation (design, operating systems, programming environments, etc.) as well as the core basic software and controllers for efficient automation, there is a lack of relevant reserves, and innovative products are urgently needed to fill this gap.

4、 Sinsegye's main products&advantages

Sinsegye's main products include four series:

• iComputer
• Automaiton
• I/O
• Motion

As Dr. Ma Jun said, "Sinsegye is a hard technology company that uses PC technology to automate." Therefore, the core advantage of Sinsegye's products lies in its firm promotion of PC architecture and its unique product concept to establish itself in the market; Independently developing a highly open dual domain operating system, filling some gaps in the architecture design of the programming environment in China.

5、 What are the opportunities for industrial automation and its derivative industries

Dr. Ma Jun believes that computerized automation itself has a huge imagination space. It is no longer about thinking about how to solve on-site problems with hardware and multiple hardware, but integrating industrial software to further enhance automation levels through software.
Secondly, PC architecture will gradually empower the field of devices, such as smart machines.

6、 Words for entrepreneurs

Sinsegye has completed six consecutive rounds of financing in just two years, becoming a quasi unicorn enterprise in Shenzhen. Looking back at his own and Sinegye's development journey, Dr. Ma Jun expressed that his biggest takeaway is learning to choose the right track. He emphasized that in a mature track, the certainty of doing things will be relatively high; Opening up new tracks often carries greater risks.

Secondly, we should attach importance to technological innovation and changes in market demand. While investing in independent research and development of key technologies, we should also pay more attention to changes in market demand, adjust product strategies and services in a timely manner, and keep up with market trends.

In addition, Dr. Ma Jun believes that building an excellent team, establishing clear strategic goals, and maintaining an optimistic attitude are also very necessary.
