Shanghai Navigation Instrument Factory was originally a private global iron factory, and was changed to Shanghai Marine Auxiliary Instrument Factory after 1954 public-private partnership. 1957, based on this factory, the First Machinery Department established East China Marine Auxiliary Instrument Factory, and selected the No.3 Workers' Technical School of Shangchuan Road in Pudong as the school site. June, 5438+the following year 10, No.1 Machinery Department approved the capital construction design task book; In the same year, according to the plan of the First Machinery Department, Shanghai Machinery Industry Bureau decided that the factory would not engage in auxiliary machines, but mainly produce marine instruments. The infrastructure project started in April 1960, ended in February 1965, and was completed and accepted in June 1966. To 1965 * *, the investment is 565,438+million yuan, and the construction area is 32 163 square meters, of which the newly built area is 12502 square meters. With the expansion of factory scale and the development of production technology, many products such as compass, magnetic compass and steering gear are widely used in various ships at home and abroad. After the reform and opening up, Compass has established good cooperative relations with American SPERRY Company and the Federal Republic of Germany C.PLATH Company, and its business and trade with Japan and Western European countries have also been developing continuously. 1988 was the first to be promoted to a national second-class enterprise in Shanghai shipbuilding industry system. The factory covers an area of 70,550 square meters with a building area of 26,800 square meters. There are more than 400 sets of various production equipment, equipped with various precision test equipment, measuring instruments, meters and electronic computers. The main products are marine navigation instruments, hydraulic systems and components, household appliances, light industrial machinery and stainless steel kitchen equipment.

Shanghai Navigation Instrument Factory is in the period of customs Pudong factory and Pudong warehouse, with small scale and simple equipment. At the earliest, there were only 1 manual drilling machine, 2 vises and several files. Power is 1 kerosene engine, 7.5 horsepower. In 35 years, a batch of old equipment was added, including Japanese woodworking machinery and two old belt lathes. During 36-37 years of the Republic of China, there were * * 1 sets of machinery and equipment,15t crane and140ft wooden barge in the factory warehouse; 100 in September, 1949, when the factory merged with the warehouse, there were only100 employees. 1952 began to produce navigation marks and navigation instruments, navigation sextant and other products. With the development of production, there are more and more machines and equipment in the factory. In 1954 alone, 34 sets of shearing machines, punching machines, spot welding machines and lathes were added. 1957 began to produce wheeled hauling logs, etc., and only the number of metal cutting machines increased to 47.

1962, 1 1 In June, the third Ministry of Machinery approved the Design Task Book for the Renovation of Aircraft Factory, and the production plan is to produce 50 sets of Type 3 logs 10, including 40 sets of Ar logs and 0 sets of EYPYH logs10. * * * The investment is 6,543,800 yuan+0.6 million yuan; 1963. In February, Ministry of Machinery III approved the adjustment of investment1980,000 yuan. The renovation project started in July 1963 and was completed and accepted in February 1965. The construction area of the whole plant is 16656 square meters, of which the production area is 80 17 square meters; 203 sets of equipment, including metal cutting machine 150 sets, with actual investment of 1967500 yuan; The number of employees is 5 15. 1965 10 The Ministry of Communications and the Sixth Machinery Department jointly informed that the navigation mark production part of the factory (workers 158, cadres 37, machine tools 102) was handed over to the Ministry of Communications to continue production. By the end of 1985, the accumulated capital investment was 38 1 10,000 yuan, the actual construction area was 26,462 square meters, there were 42 metal cutting machines1985, and there were 834 employees. 1988 was promoted to a national second-class enterprise together with Shanghai Navigation Instrument Factory.

The original site of Shanghai Aerial Survey Instrument Factory is located at No.330, Shuangyang Road, Shanghai. It is a ship supporting factory under China State Shipbuilding Corporation, with 344 employees, including 60 engineers and technicians, accounting for 17.4% of the total number of employees in the factory. The original value of fixed assets is 3.4 million yuan, with a construction area of 7,494 square meters. Since the reform and opening up, the factory has carried out technical transformation, and imported Swiss wave soldering equipment, radio comprehensive tester, signal generator and other testing instruments from Britain and Japan. In addition to domestic use, our products have entered the international market and sold to countries such as Singapore, the United States and Taiwan Province Province.

In June, 1992, the three factories merged to form Shanghai Navigation Instrument General Factory. The factory is located in Pudong Jinqiao Export Processing Zone, with strong technical force and complete processing means, and has the advantages of precision machining, precision assembly and precision casting. The main marine products are all kinds of electric control compasses, platform compasses, inertial devices, magnetic compass series products, steering gear and engine room automation equipment. At the same time, it produces "Hangyi" brand range hoods, hydraulic components, hydraulic integrated control systems, electronic control equipment, elastic components such as beverage and drinking water filling machinery, corrugated pipes, miniature battery forklifts, wireless communication machines and alarm machinery, stainless steel household appliances, household electric meters, etc. Relying on scientific and technological progress, the factory has developed a number of high-level, high-tech and high-reliability products such as torpedo combined gyro, Doppler log and host remote control. Also developed advanced water purifiers, fitness equipment, electronic disinfection cabinets and other products.

The factory also introduced many technologies from Britain and Japan, and maintained good cooperative relations with famous foreign companies, and carried out extensive cooperation with famous domestic universities. Adhere to "quality first, win by Excellence" and constantly explore two major markets at home and abroad. The electric control compass, log, magnetic compass, micro-battery forklift, beverage filling and capping machine, range hood, wireless walkie-talkie, marine switchboard, hydraulic components and other products produced by the factory have been directly or indirectly exported to the United States, Denmark, Australia, Japan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Germany and other countries and regions. Shanghai Soda Communication Equipment Co., Ltd., a Sino-foreign joint venture controlled by the factory, adopts advanced foreign technology. DH-Ⅱ electronic compass, one of the leading products, won the National Silver Award for Quality Products, and PL-Ⅲ platform compass and other 14 products won the National Science and Technology Achievement Award. Double 30-ship gunboat system equipment (voyage Ⅱ A log); More than 30 products such as "Hangyi" range hood won the second prize and the third prize of provincial and ministerial scientific and technological achievements. 1994 factory was awarded "Customer Satisfaction" enterprise in China by China Quality Management Association. The factory has been named as a municipal civilized unit by Shanghai for four consecutive times (8 years).

At the end of 1995, China State Shipbuilding Corporation decided that Avionics General Factory, as a leading enterprise in the development of marine electronic instruments, would speed up the technological progress and transformation of the factory through intergovernmental loans, introduce advanced foreign technologies and advanced processing and testing equipment, and build a research, production and export base for ship navigation and engine room automation products as soon as possible.
