Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), established in 1920, is renowned as the "Cradle of Engineers" in China. It was one of the two model universities for adopting foreign higher education systems in 1951, became one of the first six key national universities in 1954, and was selected in the inaugural groups of the "211 Project" (1996) and "985 Project" (1999). In 2017, HIT was included in the Double First-Class (World-Class Universities and Disciplines) initiative as a Class A university, with eight disciplines selected in the 2022 batch.
The Shenzhen campus of HIT is a collaboration between HIT and the Shenzhen municipal government. It offers a comprehensive full-time undergraduate and graduate education system, positioning itself as a high-level campus aligned with national needs and the economic development goals of Guangdong Province and Shenzhen City. It serves as a hub for educational reform, talent cultivation, innovation, and international collaboration.
Currently, the Shenzhen campus houses 11 colleges and 4 research institutes, with nearly 700 full-time faculty members, approximately 90 part-time faculty, over 200 postdoctoral researchers, and about 12,000 full-time students (including 6,000 undergraduates and 6,000 graduate students).
HIT Shenzhen required a reliable, precise, and synchronized timekeeping system capable of:
Delivering high-precision time signals across all campus facilities.
Automatically calibrating time daily with zero cumulative timing error.
Ensuring system stability and anti-interference capabilities under diverse environmental conditions.
Providing efficient, remote time synchronization management and real-time system monitoring.
Shutai Clock System delivered the following components:
