University-Enterprise Collaboration: Shanghai University of Technology Visits and Engages in Exchange with STEP, Jointly Exploring New Paths for Intelligent Manufacturing and Talent Development!
2026-01-05
To deepen university-enterprise collaboration and jointly explore new avenues for cooperation, a delegation from Shanghai University of Technology—including representatives from the Student Affairs Office, Graduate Student Affairs Office, Career Services Office, and leaders from various colleges—recently visited STEP for a visit, research, and exchange discussions. Both sides engaged in in-depth dialogues centered on fields such as intelligent manufacturing, robotics, and electrical control, jointly exploring new mechanisms for university-enterprise cooperation and innovative models for talent development.
Featured Introduction
School-Enterprise Collaboration Representatives from the university and heads of multiple business units from STEP held a face-to-face meeting to discuss new opportunities for collaboration.
On-site observation Step into the STEP exhibition hall and production line to directly experience the robust capabilities of intelligent manufacturing.
Directional focus Conduct industry-academia-research collaboration centered around five key areas: smart elevators, servo drives, variable-frequency speed control, robotics, and industrial controllers.
Joint Talent Development Based on the 2026 campus recruitment situation, let’s explore pathways for establishing internship bases and fostering joint training programs.
All-round tour: Unlock the hard power of STEP smart manufacturing.
Explanation of the Comprehensive Intelligent Manufacturing Solution
The first stop of the visit was the corporate exhibition hall of STEP Group. Through physical exhibits and scenario-based explanations, the university representatives gained a comprehensive understanding of the company’s development journey, its core product lines, and its integrated smart manufacturing solutions. They also developed a deep appreciation for STEP technological expertise in areas such as industrial robots, servo systems, and control technologies.
Demonstration of Various Applications for Robot Workstations
Next, the delegation visited the robot workstation demonstration area, where they observed firsthand the applications of various robot workstations—including welding, bending, palletizing, and material handling—gaining a direct sense of the high efficiency with which STEP robots excel in flexible manufacturing and developing a deeper understanding of intelligent production scenarios.
STEP Intelligent Production Full-Process Monitoring
The visiting delegation entered the production and manufacturing area, where they observed firsthand the entire production process—from component machining to complete machine assembly—using robots. They got up close to the highly automated production lines and personally experienced the intelligent allure of “robots manufacturing robots.” They gave high praise to STEP’s advanced intelligent manufacturing capabilities.
Panel Discussion and Exchange: Jointly Crafting a New Blueprint for University-Enterprise Collaboration
STEP Representative’s Address & Sharing
At the subsequent university-enterprise cooperation seminar, STEP representatives systematically introduced the company’s business layout, R&D system, and future strategies, expressing their willingness to engage in deepened collaboration with universities in the field of intelligent manufacturing. On the university side, representatives from Shanghai University of Technology shared insights on discipline development, research platforms, and distinctive talent cultivation approaches, with a particular focus on the teaching resources and research foundations in areas such as smart elevators, servo drives, variable-frequency speed control, robotics, and industrial controllers.
Speech and Sharing by the Shanghai University of Technology’s Representative
At the meeting, both sides exchanged views on the recruitment of graduates from the class of 2026 and engaged in practical discussions centered on collaborative projects involving industry, academia, and research; co-establishment of internship and employment bases; joint application for research projects; and practical training for students. They preliminarily clarified the follow-up coordination mechanisms and cooperation promotion plans, laying a feasible roadmap for continuously deepening their collaboration.
