Deepening Industry-Education Integration, Empowering Talent Development | Shilong Technology Conducts Specialized Training on SL-MGPR Multi-Frequency 3D Ground Penetrating Radar at Wuhan Railway Vocational College

To deepen industry-academia-research integration and enhance the professional expertise and hands-on skills of technical talent in the rail transit sector, the Wuhan Shilong Technology Co., Ltd. team recently visited Wuhan Railway Polytechnic College to conduct specialized training on SL-MGPR multi-frequency 3D ground-penetrating radar. Building on a strong foundation of joint equipment development and technical collaboration between both parties, this event adopted a diversified training model combining theoretical empowerment with practical application. The initiative effectively improved students' and faculty's proficiency in operating cutting-edge equipment and performing engineering inspections, injecting new momentum into the high-quality development of intelligent safety detection for rail transit systems.

1. Collaborative School-Enterprise Initiative: Building a New Paradigm for Talent Development

As a key institution under China's "Double High Plan," Wuhan Railway Vocational College of Technology has long been dedicated to cultivating talent in the rail transit sector. With deep educational heritage and a comprehensive practical training system, it hosts national-level training bases for high-speed railways and urban rail transit, serving as a vital incubator for highly skilled technical professionals in the industry. To upgrade its intelligent training hardware and align with cutting-edge industry trends, the college procured SL-MGPR multi-frequency 3D ground-penetrating radar equipment—developed independently by Wuhan Shilong Technology Co., Ltd.—in 2024 year 12 month. This acquisition integrates mainstream intelligent detection tools into campus training classrooms, addressing critical gaps in smart inspection hardware for rail transit practical education. The current specialized technical training represents a strategic collaboration following the deployment of this equipment. Leveraging the college's superior teaching resources and Shilong Technology's advanced R&D capabilities and proprietary devices, the partnership establishes a new model of school-enterprise co-cultivation: "Equipment on Campus + Technology Empowerment + Training-Driven Education."

The SL-MGPR multi-frequency 3D ground-penetrating radar used in this training features a core technology that combines wideband, narrow-pulse electromagnetic waves across multiple frequencies. It simultaneously captures multiple sets of detection data and generates high-resolution 3D images, effectively balancing detection depth with resolution. Widely applicable to tunnel structural inspections, subgrade defect surveys, urban underground utility mapping, and geological hazard monitoring, it is a cutting-edge intelligent inspection solution for rail transit and geotechnical engineering projects.

2. Multi-dimensional instruction for an immersive training ecosystem

To ensure training effectiveness, this event established an immersive three-in-one system integrating theory instruction, hands-on equipment operation, and case analysis. This comprehensive approach helps participating teachers and students fully master device technologies and practical skills from start to finish. During the training, senior technical experts from Shelong Technology delivered systematic courses on core device principles, standardized operating procedures, and data collection and post-processing standards. Using typical rail transit engineering cases, they focused on practical application techniques for scenarios such as subgrade void detection, track structure layer thickness verification, and hidden defect identification.

During the hands-on training session, participants worked in teams to master core functions such as wireless device transmission, multi-frequency antenna combinations, and 3D imaging modeling. Leveraging the college's real-world rail transit training environment, students and instructors completed multiple simulated inspection tasks, effectively bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and engineering practice to achieve the training goals of applying learning through practice and enhancing skills via active engagement.

3. Deepen Industry-Education Integration to Strengthen the Safety Defense of Rail Transit

As a benchmark enterprise in China's ground-penetrating radar (GPR) industry, Shilong Technology boasts one of the country's first core R&D teams dedicated to GPR technology. We possess full capabilities for independent research, development, production, and iteration. Our products maintain a leading market share, with core technologies and equipment performance matching industry-leading standards.

A company representative stated that industry-academia collaboration is a key vehicle for technology deployment, talent development, and industrial empowerment. This specialized training not only showcases cutting-edge enterprise technologies in real-world settings but also serves as a practical example of integrating education with industry. Moving forward, the company will leverage its technical strengths to accelerate the large-scale adoption of intelligent detection technologies in the rail transit sector, supporting the development of smart and safe transportation systems.

A senior official from Wuhan Railway Vocational and Technical College highly endorsed the initiative, stating that the introduction of SL-MGPR multi-frequency 3D ground-penetrating radar and the accompanying specialized training have strengthened the school's smart rail transit inspection practical teaching system. This enables students to gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge industry equipment and technologies. The school will continue to deepen its ongoing collaboration with Shilong Technology through diverse initiatives such as co-building training bases, jointly developing courses, and collaborating on technical R&D. These efforts aim to precisely align with industry talent needs and cultivate more high-quality, skilled professionals in the rail transit sector.

4. Focus on Delivering Results and Strengthening the Foundation of Practical Technology Application

This training adopted an outcomes-driven approach, evaluating success through both theoretical assessments and practical evaluations. Following systematic learning and hands-on practice, all participating teachers and students successfully passed the assessments and gained comprehensive proficiency in operating the SL-MGPR equipment, including its technical specifications, data processing workflows, and scenario-based application techniques.

Participants praised the training for its solid, practical content. They not only mastered operation skills for intelligent detection equipment but also gained a deep understanding of how cutting-edge inspection technologies drive safety and efficiency in rail transit engineering operations. Moving forward, they will integrate this knowledge and hands-on experience into their studies and future work to support safer construction and more efficient maintenance through professional expertise.

The successful completion of this specialized training marks a deeper level of collaboration between Shilong Technology and Wuhan Railway Vocational College of Technology. Moving forward, both parties will continue to strengthen industry-academia-research synergy, refine the closed-loop cooperation model of "R&D, Talent Development, and Industrial Application," empower vocational education through technological innovation, support quality improvement and upgrades in the rail transit industry through talent cultivation, and jointly safeguard the safety of rail transit engineering.
