1982年畢業於清華大學動力機械系，並在美國康乃爾大學完成了機械工程碩士與博士學位，期間跟隨著王國金博士的腳步，加入了康乃爾射出成型計畫(CIMP)，從此之後，便開始研究模具塑膠設計/製造相關技術。
1993年來到中原大學服務，研究領域主要為模具設計/製造引導系統、AI排程系統與智慧製造整合工程；模具設計/製造引導系統是以CAD軟體為基礎，將模具設計與製造的專業知識，透過程式開發整合為知識導向的互動介面，實現標準化、智能化、知識化、自動化、客製化與協同化的數位平台，協助工程師一步一步完成複雜的模具開發；AI排程系統則是透過演算法及機器學習，自動分析加工之資訊，找出影響關鍵，在規劃排程階段中預先警示高風險程序，並回饋至設計端進行改良與知識累積，也將改變過去模具產業以重工、試誤來解決問題之作業流程模式，為模具製造業帶來高效率、高品質與高價值的研發能量。

2005年與捷普綠點高新科技的合作計劃，開啟了研究模具設計引導系統的契機，之後持續與許多企業、財團法人等進行產學合作，例如：光寶科技、時碩科技、工研院、金屬工業中心、佳世達科技、科盛科技、奇美電子、盟創科技、上銀科技、英業達、達運精密工業、丞威精密工業、南俊國際等，與公司共同開發客製化的引導系統，藉由多方的產學合作計畫，讓鍾教授的研究與時俱進，與產業實務鏈結同時，也獲得政府單位的補助，如：科技部的先進製造技術、人工智慧等專題計畫，使研究更為完備。

鍾文仁教授在中原大學任教已逾25年，曾榮獲3次優良導師、1次合作耕耘獎、1次卓越技轉獎、2次研究傑出教授及4次優良技轉獎，著有《IC封裝製程與CAE應用》、《電腦輔助模具設計》等二書，並培育出9位博士與近百位的碩士研究人才，其中目前有3位博士及3位碩士留在中原大學繼續研究工作，因此，鍾老師的研究品質及能量是穩定提升的。此外，其開放式的教學方式，給予學生充足的探索空間，適時地從中輔導支持，幫助學生在研究及學習中培養興趣。除了課業之外，也非常注重學生的全人發展，與學生間有著亦師亦友之情誼。

隨著工業4.0、人工智慧的新趨勢，全球產業皆面臨轉型與創新，鍾文仁教授、陳夏宗教授與王世明教授，在多年的產學合作與研究基礎上，以模具製造業的智慧轉型為願景，共同組成了智慧製造研發團隊，在三位教授之帶領下，在2017年設立了智慧製造研發中心，以發展智慧模具設計、製造與成型領域之創新研發能力，並建立具有前瞻性之射出成型智慧製造為基礎，延伸至人工智慧領域，主要協助國內頂尖人才之培訓及推展產學合作等業務，該中心座落於智慧創新產學大樓，其一樓為智慧製造示範產線、3D列印室及機器人展示區域，二樓為研發團隊開發基地與培訓空間等；團隊致力將智慧製造技術落實在製造產線上，回饋社會提供技術輔導，也象徵著教授們20年來研究發展的里程碑。除此之外，鍾教授多次受邀做「AI與智慧製造」和「AI與智慧生活」的專題演講的分享，讓更多人了解AI人工智慧如何為生活體驗帶來更高的品質。

Professor Wen-Ren, Jong graduated from the Department of Power Mechanical Engineering of National Tsing Hua University in 1982 and completed his master's and doctoral degrees in Mechanical Engineering at Cornell University. He followed the footsteps of Dr. Kuo-King Wang and joined the Cornell Injection Molding Project (CIMP). Since then, he has been dedicated on the research of mold design/manufacturing related technologies for plastic molding.

In 1993, he started to work in Chung Yuan Christian University. His researches focus on mold design/manufacturing navigating system, AI scheduling system and smart manufacturing. The mold design/manufacturing navigating system is based on CAD software to integrate the domain knowledge into a knowledge-oriented interactive interface, to achieve the goals of digitized, standardized, intelligent, automated, customized and collaborative platform. AI scheduling system, instead of traditional way of try and error, analyzes the key impact factors and high-risk procedures in advance and provide feedback to the design and planning phase for earlier improvement and knowledge accumulation, bringing high efficiency, high quality and high value to the mold manufacturing industry.

In 2005, the projects with Jabil Green Point Corp. began the study about mold design navigating system, and then Professor Jong continued to cooperate with many enterprises, such as: Lite-On Technology Corp., Industrial Technology Research Institute, Qisda Corp., Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp., Hiwin Technology Corp., Inventec Appliances Corp., etc. These projects mainly focus on developing a customized mold design/manufacturing navigating system. Therefore, Prof. Jong's research always keep pace with the trends of technology. At the same time, he also receives subsidies from governmental projects, such as the Advanced Manufacturing Project and Innovative Artificial Intelligence Project from Ministry of Science and Technology.

Professor Jong has worked in Chung Yuan Christian University for more than 25 years. He is awarded “Excellent Tutors” three times, “Outstanding Cooperative Award” several times, and “Distinguished Research Professor” 2 times. He has nurtured 9 Ph. D and nearly 100 Masters. His teaching method gives students ample space of exploring and support them timely to develop interest in research. He also pays attention to students’ development of holistic education and always has good friendship with the students.

With the trend of Industry 4.0 and artificial intelligence, global industry is facing transformation and innovation. Professor Shia-Chung Chen, Professor Shih-Ming Wang and Professor Wen-Ren Jong create a R&D team for smart manufacturing, based on the decades of research experience. They established the R&D center of Smart Manufacturing in 2017 in order to develop innovative R&D capabilities in mold design, manufacturing and molding, which has focused on smart manufacturing and extends to Artificial Intelligence. The center is located in the Smart Innovative Operation Building of CYCU which demonstrates a smart manufacturing product line, a 3D printing room and a robot display area on the first floor. The team is committed to implementing smart-manufacturing technologies and giving feedback to the society by providing technical counseling. It also symbolizes the milestones of these three professors' research and development for over the past 20 years. Moreover, recently Professor Jong has been invited to give some AI-related keynote speeches. Through the sharing, more people can understand how AI brings higher quality to our life.
