Introduction: The Engineering Research Center of Industrial Equipment Monitoring and Control, Ministry of Education is grounded in the DUT first-class discipline – Control Science and Engineering and co-established by the DUT Computer Control Engineering Co., Ltd. With an area of 12,671 square meters, the Center has 79 faculties, including one Distinguished Professor of Changjiang Scholars of the Ministry of Education, three winners of the National Science Fund for Outstanding Youth, andone expert compiler ofthe list of the national major R&D projects of China's Ministry of Science and Technology. At present,a high-quality scientific research team with a clear research direction and resonable personnel structure has taken shape. The team members work on basic research, application research, product research and development, and project implementation. Members of the Center, taking into account major needs of the country and the industry, have conducted research in system architecture of the industrial internet and network control technology and solutions. They have also set up multiple research platforms for industrial internet of intelligent factories, comprehensive test of electromagnetic parameter, verification of aero-engine hardware-in-the-loop, and RTLab stimulation of the industrial energy management system. Hence a set of theories, technologies and engineering application systems with distinctive features of industrial internet has been formed, which enjoys a profound influence and a good reputation in relevant sectors. Over the rencent years, the Center has undertaken more than 200 research projects includingkey R&D programmes and the National Science and Technology Major Projects on aro-engine and combustion turbine, and has been licensed 150-odd invention patents. It was awarded more than 10 prizes including Second Class Prize for NPNS of China, Gold Prize for Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions and other prizes of Ministry of Education and associations.Facing the future, the Center will continue to make breakthroughs in core technologies of the industrial internet,promote high-standard scientific research, technology R&D and the commercialization of these research findings. It will alsoconsidernational and industrial major needs and energize social and economic development.
