Jinling Students Explore Dinghui: Decoding Intelligent Sports Industry University Research Integration

Against the backdrop of the country's comprehensive promotion of the strategy of building a strong sports nation and accelerating the digital transformation of the sports industry, students majoring in sports science and technology from Jinling University of Science and Technology recently entered Nanjing Dinghui Sports Technology Development Co., Ltd., embarking on a deep research journey with the theme of "Technology Empowers Sports, Practice Leads Innovation". This visit not only showcased the achievements of industry education integration between universities and enterprises, but also revealed the innovative path of sports technology from traditional manufacturing to intelligent upgrading.

Policy empowers the sports industry, accelerating the rise of new quality productivity

In recent years, the General Administration of Sport of China and other departments have issued numerous policies to incorporate the sports industry into the core areas of national development strategy. The 14th Five Year Plan for Sports Development clearly proposes to promote the digital transformation of the sports industry, while the 2025 Special Action Plan for Boosting Consumption emphasizes the cultivation of new formats such as intelligent sports.

In this context, in the list of "Intelligent Workshops for Sports Enterprises" selected by the Jiangsu Provincial Sports Bureau in 2024, Nanjing Dinghui Sports Technology Development Co., Ltd.'s "Multi functional Football Intelligent Production Workshop" is prominently listed, becoming a benchmark for intelligent upgrading in the field of sports manufacturing.

Jinling University of Science and Technology: Creating a Cradle of Composite Talents through Digital Sports Innovation

As one of the first universities in Jiangsu Province to offer a "Digital Sports" micro major, Jinling University of Science and Technology's Sports Science and Technology major has built a unique interdisciplinary talent training model with a "theory technology innovation" three-level closed-loop system as its core.

Dinghui Sports Technology: From Traditional Manufacturing to Industrial Innovation Led by "Intelligent Manufacturing"

At Dinghui Sports' intelligent production workshop, students witnessed firsthand the transformation of "black technology" in sports equipment manufacturing: a fully automated production line

The robotic arm accurately grasps the ball pieces, and the AGV car automatically completes material handling, resulting in a 22% increase in production efficiency compared to traditional workshops;

Digital kanban displays real-time order progress and energy consumption data, achieving transparent management of the production process.

Intelligent Sports Project: The "Technology Chip" in Football

The "chip soccer" jointly developed by the enterprise and Southeast University has built-in sensors that can record data such as movement trajectory and impact force, providing scientific basis for youth soccer training.

The intelligent training and examination system uses AI analysis technology to assist physical education teaching in shifting from "experience driven" to "data-driven".

Collaboration between schools and enterprises: creating a sports technology talent ecosystem

This visit is not only a technical demonstration, but also a practice of "two-way empowerment":

Student perspective: By visiting intelligent production lines and experiencing intelligent sports equipment, deepen the understanding of the theory of "digital sports";

Enterprise perspective: The innovative thinking of college students will inject new vitality into the iteration of enterprise products.

As a leading local sports technology enterprise in Nanjing, Dinghui Sports is promoting the high-quality development of the sports industry through a three-dimensional layout of "intelligent production+event services+smart equipment". Jinling University of Science and Technology, on the other hand, deeply integrates "majors+industries" to provide the industry with composite talents who understand both sports and digital technology.

From policy incentives to the implementation of industry university research cooperation, from traditional workshops to intelligent "smart manufacturing", this visit reflects the vigorous vitality of China's sports technology industry. The joint exploration between Jinling University of Science and Technology and Dinghui Sports is writing a vivid footnote of "technology empowerment and talent driven" for the construction of a sports powerhouse. In the future, as more universities and enterprises join this wave of innovation, a "smart, healthy, and sustainable" new sports ecosystem is accelerating its formation.
