The 'little giant' in the field of fiber optic sensing: Shandong Weigan Optoelectronics Co., Ltd
Shandong Weigan Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. is a Sino British joint venture specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprise. With independent innovation as the engine, the company is committed to providing highly reliable sensing solutions for multiple key fields such as energy, transportation, municipal, and industrial safety, and has become a leader in the domestic fiber optic sensing field. On August 20th, Wang Qun, Deputy Secretary General of Shandong Equipment Manufacturing Association, and his delegation visited Weigan Optoelectronics to gain a deeper understanding of the company's production and operation status and technological development needs, and visited the production site.
Leading enterprise in the field of fiber optic sensing: Shandong Weigan Optoelectronics Co., Ltd
Researcher Liu Tongyu, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, is a doctor who returned home after completion of his studies. He is the chief expert of the Laser Research Institute of Shandong Academy of Sciences and the director of the key laboratory of optical fiber sensing technology in Shandong Province. He has overcome the technology acclimatization, established an interdisciplinary talent team, established an integrated platform of production, learning and research - Shandong Weigan Optoelectronics Co., Ltd., Mount Taishan scholar, the winner of the National "May 1st" Labor Medal, the first prize of scientific and technological progress in Shandong Province, and the first prize of science and technology in China's coal industry. He focuses on the research and development and industrialization of high-performance optical fiber sensors in mining, gas, petrochemical, power safety and other fields, presided over more than 30 national "863", key research and development programs, and published more than 150 papers More than 40 patents were authorized.

Liu Tongyu provided a detailed introduction to the company's core products and technological roadmap. Relying on the fiber optic sensing technology platform, the company has developed a series of high-end monitoring products with completely independent intellectual property rights, including various gas laser detection core modules, distributed fiber optic temperature and vibration measurement systems and modules, fiber optic grating stress-strain systems and sensors, etc; The ultra-low power laser methane sensor module has reached the international advanced level and has been promoted by many sensor and system manufacturers, applied to the safety monitoring upgrade system of over 1000 coal mines; Fiber optic tailings pond monitoring, goaf collapse monitoring, and rock burst warning have also been successfully applied to more than 100 non coal mines, significantly improving the level of mine safety monitoring. These products not only have outstanding advantages such as high precision, anti electromagnetic interference, and intrinsic safety, but also demonstrate excellent stability in extreme environments and major infrastructure. Laser methane and other gas monitoring can be widely applied in coal mines, urban underground pipelines, gas transmission and distribution stations, and households, effectively improving the safety operation level of the industry. In addition to deepening its expertise in industrial safety monitoring, Shandong Weigan has also extended its technology to the fields of energy structure and infrastructure health management. Liu Tongyu further elaborated on the concept of "sensing the world with light and safeguarding security with intelligence" and the technological layout with the vision of "empowering the future with perception". He stated that the company has always placed research and development at the core of its development, promoted deep integration of industry, academia, and research, and achieved multiple breakthroughs in key areas such as fiber optic sensing chips, intelligent algorithms, and demodulation equipment. Liu Tongyu frankly stated that as a technology intensive enterprise, when facing common problems such as restricted imports of high-end chips and the trend of decreasing coal demand due to energy structure adjustment, he hopes that the association can provide more assistance to enterprises in industrial collaboration and other aspects.

Vice General Manager Jiang Long accompanied Wang Qun and his delegation on a visit to the production site, introducing the application of fiber optic sensing systems in the fields of mining, petrochemical industry, long-distance pipelines, and large-scale engineering structural health monitoring. Through long-distance and distributed monitoring of multiple parameters such as gas, stress, vibration, and temperature, the safety management level of users has been greatly improved, the full life cycle operation and maintenance costs of related facilities have been reduced, and the safety of people's lives has been guaranteed. These products are not only a reflection of technological innovation, but also an important practice for enterprises to respond to national strategies and fulfill social responsibilities.

Wang Qun expressed appreciation for the achievements made by the enterprise in adhering to independent innovation and deepening its professional fields. He pointed out that equipment manufacturing is an advantageous industry in Shandong Province, and the "hidden champions" in the segmented fields represented by Shandong Weigan are an important force for Shandong's manufacturing industry to move towards high-end and intelligent development. The association will continue to play a role as a bridge and link, actively reflect industry common demands to relevant departments, promote upstream and downstream cooperation in the industrial chain, and create a more favorable development environment for enterprises. It is hoped that enterprises will continue to strengthen key core technology research and development, deeply integrate Shandong's sensor technology with new generation information technologies such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, expand more diverse application scenarios, and contribute their value in the industrial field, smart cities, environmental monitoring, and people's safety.
