Hydraulic Measurement and Control Industry in Yutop for Twelve Years

Hydraulic technology, as the "muscles and nerves" of industrial manufacturing, is widely applied in key fields such as construction machinery, new energy equipment, and aerospace. Hydraulic testing platforms are crucial for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of this core technology. In 2013, against the backdrop of urgent domestic industrial upgrading and the long-term dominance of foreign brands in high-end hydraulic testing equipment, Guangzhou Yutop Test & Control Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yutop") was established. Over the past twelve years, Yutop has steadfastly adhered to its original mission of "driving industrial advancement, building independent capabilities, and ensuring reliable quality assurance for industrial products." It has persistently focused on hydraulic testing and control, gradually growing from a startup team to a professional force of over a hundred members. Transitioning from learning and borrowing to independent innovation, Yutop has driven industry progress through technological breakthroughs and safeguarded industrial quality with a sense of responsibility.

I. Founding the Foundation (2013-2017): Exploring the Path of Independent Development with the Initial Aspiration as the Torch

In October 2013, Yutop was officially established at Guangzhou Machinery Research Institute. At that time, China's hydraulic testing industry faced significant challenges: high-end testing equipment was predominantly monopolized by European, American, Japanese, and Korean brands. Imported devices were expensive with often delayed after-sales support, creating constraints for the development of domestic hydraulic component manufacturing. "We must ensure testing processes do not become a bottleneck for Chinese industries" became the shared goal of Yutop's founding team. During the initial phase, the team encountered multiple difficulties including financial constraints, limited technical expertise, and low market awareness. Team members spent their days visiting hydraulic component manufacturers to gain practical testing insights, while working nights to study foreign technical documents and conduct repeated experiments, disassemblies, and reassemblies in rudimentary production workshops. Through persistent investment and dedicated research, Yutop gradually mastered the core structure and fundamental technologies of hydraulic testing platforms, achieving the initial leap from "learning and referencing" to "independent assembly." This laid a solid foundation for subsequent technological development.

At this stage, Yutop's core mission was to "meet the essential needs" by providing cost-effective basic testing equipment for domestic small and medium-sized hydraulic enterprises. 

By precisely aligning with market demands, streamlining redundant features, and optimizing production processes, Yutop's first "Basic Hydraulic Testing Bench" gained market recognition through its stable performance and competitive pricing. This innovation not only reduced testing costs for domestic hydraulic companies but also laid a solid foundation for Yutop's own development.

In 2016, driven by technological advancements and corporate growth needs, Yutop officially relocated to Xintang Xinchao Industrial Park in Zengcheng, Guangzhou. That year, the company achieved ISO9001 Quality Management System certification, marking a pivotal step in standardizing production processes and quality control. In 2017, Yutop was recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise, solidifying its technology-driven development strategy and laying the groundwork for independent innovation.

II. Growth Breakthrough (2018-2022): Innovation-Driven, Breaking Through Technical Barriers

With the sustained growth of China's hydraulic industry, market demands for testing equipment in precision, intelligence, and customization are steadily increasing. Yutop closely tracks industry trends, places technological innovation at the core of its development strategy, increases R&D investment, and builds a dedicated R&D team, gradually shifting from imitation to independent innovation

.

In tackling technical challenges, Yutop's team has achieved significant breakthroughs in high-precision data acquisition and complex condition simulation for hydraulic testing. Through continuous R&D, the company has secured 8 patents and software copyrights in hydraulic testing and control. A key innovation is the servo integrated machine design, which requires only minimal plug connections upon delivery, dramatically reducing installation time and enhancing operational convenience. This advancement overcomes previous reliance on imported equipment for installation efficiency. During this phase, Yutop upgraded its product line from basic models to higher-precision versions, achieving ±0.25% FS (Full Scale) measurement accuracy that meets global testing standards. These upgraded models now fulfill high-precision testing requirements previously achievable only with imported equipment, offering users more flexible solutions.

In terms of quality system and qualification development, Yutop has been continuously improving. In 2018, the company obtained the "Intellectual Property Management System Certification Certificate" and gradually established an intellectual property management system. In 2021, it was listed as a "Gazelle Enterprise," reflecting the company's growth vitality. The team size also expanded simultaneously, growing from a few members at the initial stage to over 120, including more than 30 engineering and technical personnel and 5 hydraulic technicians, forming a professional technical and production team. Additionally, Yutop became a standing council member of the China Construction Machinery Maintenance and Remanufacturing Association and the Guangzhou Construction Machinery Parts Association, with increasing industry participation.

In market expansion, Yutop leverages its technical expertise and cost-performance advantages to steadily broaden its market reach. The company's product portfolio covers comprehensive and specialized testing for all hydraulic components, including hydraulic pumps, gear pumps, hydraulic motors, valves, and cylinders. Custom solutions are available upon request, with full-cycle services spanning from design to installation and commissioning. During this phase, Yutop's products have earned a strong reputation in the domestic market and expanded into international markets, with exports to Spain, Japan, Malaysia, and other regions marking the company's first foray into global operations.

III. Leading Upgrading (2023-present): Guided by Responsibility, Strengthening the Industrial Quality Safeguard System

Entering the high-quality development stage, Yutop further clarified its responsibility as "ensuring reliable quality for China's industrial products". Through end-to-end services, it helps enhance industrial quality while striving to achieve a leap from catching up to leading in the process of technological independence.

In technological advancement, Yutop focuses on industry trends in intelligentization and digitalization, driving product upgrades toward smart solutions. The company's modular products feature well-structured designs, high system integration, and user-friendly operation, while incorporating communication interfaces for real-time data monitoring and retrieval. Building on this foundation, Yutop is actively developing "digital twin + AI fault prediction" technology to enable intelligent adjustments in testing processes and early fault detection. These technologies are now in iterative development. Leveraging its technical expertise, Yutop has developed products such as the Hydraulic System Universal Testing Platform (YT-TYCST-S) and Hydraulic Shock Testing System (YT-CJCST-S), which have been deployed in research and production scenarios including the National Key Laboratory of Precision Manufacturing for Extreme Service Performance. These solutions provide technical support for performance testing and type testing of hydraulic components.

In terms of market and industry contributions, Yutop has achieved remarkable results in independent innovation. Currently, the company's products hold a leading market share in China and have become one of the major enterprises in the domestic hydraulic testing field, helping to break the long-term monopoly of foreign brands in the mid-to-high-end market. At top industry exhibitions such as the Shanghai BMW Show, Beijing Construction Machinery Show, and Shanghai PTC Show, Yutop's products are well-received by domestic and international customers, further elevating the global influence of Chinese brands.
