Shanghai Bearing Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd. (abbreviated as Shanghai Bearing Institute) is a technology-driven enterprise with independent legal person status, affiliated with the Shanghai Academy of Sciences. Since its establishment in 1979, it has been dedicated to the research of rolling and sliding bearings. In 2010, approved by the Shanghai Science and Technology Commission, the "Shanghai Special Bearing Engineering Technology Research Center" was established, further strengthening the construction of special bearing R&D capabilities and forming an integrated business model combining R&D and production. The various bearing products developed by the institute are widely used in clean energy equipment and across marine, land, and air facilities.

As market competition intensifies, many enterprises are striving to enhance their R&D management capabilities. Shanghai Bearing Institute aims to improve its product and process design management through a PLM system, thereby streamlining the information flow between design and manufacturing. During the vendor selection process for renowned PLM providers, SIPM Software earned high recognition from the institute due to its globally leading MDA technology and extensive implementation experience, resulting in a successful contract signing.

The implementation of the SIPM/PLM system will help Shanghai Bearing Institute integrate an excellence-driven R&D management framework with advanced software tools. This will effectively elevate the standardization and platformization levels of product development, ensuring that new products are developed quickly, systematically, and orderly. It will also enable flexible responses to market demands, improve product quality, and consolidate the enterprise’s leading position in the industry.

【Company Background】

Shanghai Bearing Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd. (abbreviated as Shanghai Bearing Institute) is a technology-driven enterprise with independent legal person status, affiliated with the Shanghai Academy of Sciences. Since its establishment in 1979, it has been dedicated to the research of rolling and sliding bearings. In 2010, approved by the Shanghai Science and Technology Commission, the "Shanghai Special Bearing Engineering Technology Research Center" was established, further strengthening the construction of special bearing R&D capabilities and forming an integrated business model combining R&D and production. The various bearing products developed by the institute are widely used in clean energy equipment and across marine, land, and air facilities.

In recent years, by introducing advanced foreign manufacturing and testing equipment, the institute has significantly enhanced its scientific research, production, and product quality inspection, monitoring, and evaluation capabilities. Its self-lubricating joint bearings, stemmed joint bearings, and micro ball bearings have formed distinctive characteristics of precision and reliability. As a result, the institute received the "Special Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress" awarded by the State Council. Furthermore, the institute’s products feature high variety, small batch sizes, and high technological content. The recently developed series of corrosion-resistant, high-temperature resistant, heavy-load, and long-life bearings have addressed urgent user needs, greatly enhancing the institute’s status and image among bearing-using enterprises.

The institute independently developed more than ten types of bearing testing equipment, including the CJZ-1 residual magnetism meter, providing convenient professional quality inspection tools for industry enterprises and bearing users, which have been highly favored by customers.

The Shanghai Shangzhou Bearing Quality Testing Institute is a third-party bearing quality testing institution recognized and authorized by the Certification and Accreditation Administration of China. It possesses various advanced bearing testing instruments and experimental equipment. Among them, the "Industrial CT" testing equipment can perform precise non-destructive testing of the density and structure of tested objects, identify quality defects, and play a crucial role in the quality inspection and analysis of various bearing products. Currently, the testing center undertakes product quality supervision and inspection tasks commissioned by the China Bearing Industry Association and technical supervision departments at all levels, export product quality supervision and inspection work commissioned by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, and accepts commissions from domestic and international bearing users and manufacturers to conduct product quality inspections, quality consulting, and arbitration of quality disputes, contributing its due share to the advancement of product quality in the bearing industry.
