Recently, relying on the platform of the 26th Lijia International Intelligent Equipment Exhibition, the 12th Industrial Automation and Digital Factory Transformation Technology Exchange Conference was successfully held in Chongqing.
This conference focuses on the development trend of high-end, intelligent, and green transformation of the manufacturing industry. With the core theme of “Intelligent Connectivity Double Circle·Digital Intelligence Renewal—A New Path to High-Quality Transformation of Manufacturing”, it brings together experts from universities in Sichuan and Chongqing, technical backbones of leading companies, and industry leaders. Through theme sharing, technical discussions, and experience exchange, the conference will solve the pain points and difficulties of the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry and help the coordinated upgrading of the manufacturing industry in the Sichuan-Chongqing economic circle.
This exchange meeting was jointly sponsored by the Chongqing Ordnance Industry Association and the Sichuan National Defense Science and Technology Industry Association, and hosted by Chongqing Qihui Lijia Technology Co., Ltd. It also received strong support from many well-known enterprises and institutions such as Changan Automobile, Southwest University College of Engineering and Technology, Kingdee Software, Xiangfu Mechanical and Electrical, and China Electronics Technology.
The meeting was chaired by Zhu Minghui, member of the Standing Committee of the Chongqing Science and Technology Association and executive vice chairman of the Science and Technology Association of Chongqing Changan Wangjiang Industrial Group Co., Ltd. Industry elites gathered together to explore new paths for digital intelligence transformation and start a new journey of industrial development.
Currently, the country’s “14th Five-Year Plan for Intelligent Manufacturing Development Plan” continues to be implemented. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is vigorously promoting the coordinated development of high-end, intelligent, and green manufacturing. The dividends of the collaborative transformation policy of the manufacturing industry in the Sichuan-Chongqing economic circle are continuing to be released, and the development of the manufacturing industry has entered a new iterative stage.
With the in-depth popularization of AI large models, digital twins, industrial Internet, and green and low-carbon technologies, the domestic manufacturing industry has bid farewell to the traditional scale expansion model, accelerated from “single point intelligence” to “system intelligence”, and fully shifted to a new stage of high-quality development based on quality and efficiency.
Against the background of this industry change, this technical exchange meeting accurately meets the needs of the industry and builds an integrated exchange and docking platform for industry, academia, research and application.
The conference was full of useful information and the atmosphere was lively. Five industry experts and technical luminaries took the stage one after another. From the five core dimensions of technology trends, top-level planning, material innovation, industry transformation, and production line practice, they brought cutting-edge technology interpretation and practical experience sharing, providing participating companies with comprehensive and highly implementable digital transformation solutions.
Professor Li Li from the School of Engineering and Technology of Southwest University took the lead in giving a lecture and conducted in-depth sharing around “Key Technologies and Development Trends of Industrial Automation”. He systematically sorted out the core key technologies of industrial automation, accurately judged the future iteration direction of the industry, laid a technical and theoretical foundation for the upgrading of manufacturing automation, and allowed practitioners present to clearly grasp the core context of industry development.
The construction of digital factories is the core of manufacturing transformation, and the scientific nature of top-level planning directly determines the effectiveness of transformation.
Zhou Ze, Marketing Director of Kingdee Software (China) Co., Ltd. Chongqing Branch, combined with a large number of practical cases, deeply dissected the “Digital Factory Top-level Planning and Construction Path”, and provided systematic and implementable construction ideas and implementation methods to address common problems such as chaotic planning, difficult implementation, and poor results in the digital construction of enterprises.
New material technology is an important engine for the upgrading of advanced manufacturing industries.
Han Jieli, senior engineer of Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd., focused on niche areas and shared the core results of “Changan Automobile Magnesium Alloy Advanced Manufacturing”. Through the technology research and development and industrialization practices of leading companies, she demonstrated the innovative application of new materials and new processes in high-end equipment manufacturing, providing high-quality reference for material innovation and process upgrades in the manufacturing industry.
The wave of digitalization is reshaping the development model of the entire industry, and the mechanical and electrical equipment maintenance industry is entering a critical period of transformation and upgrading.
Zeng Xiangfu, director of the Digital Service Professional Committee of the China Mechanical and Electrical Equipment Engineering Association and chairman of Chongqing Xiangfu Mechanical and Electrical Technology Services Co., Ltd., interpreted the new track of digital transformation from an overall industry perspective, explained in detail the new development model of “industrial platform + high-quality data + AI industry brain”, and pointed out the development direction for the digital reconstruction and value upgrade of the electromechanical equipment maintenance industry.
In view of the current mainstream production model of multiple varieties and small batches in the manufacturing industry, flexible and digital production lines have become the key for enterprises to break through and improve quality.
Xu Weigang, senior engineer of Chengdu Siwei High-tech Industrial Park Co., Ltd. (China Electronics Technology), shared the “Exploration and Practice of Multi-Variety and Small-Batch Flexible Machine-added Digital Production Lines” based on the company’s front-line practices. He used real-life cases to demonstrate the construction logic, operational advantages and quality and efficiency improvement results of flexible digital production lines, providing replicable and practical experience for small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises to upgrade their production lines.
The entire exchange meeting combines theoretical height, industry depth and practical warmth, comprehensively covering the core scenarios and key links of manufacturing automation and digital transformation, effectively breaking down the communication barriers between university scientific research, corporate technology, and industrial applications, and realizing the sharing and interoperability of cutting-edge technologies, high-quality cases, and industry resources.
It is reported that industrial automation and digital factory transformation are long-term and systematic projects for the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry.
The successful holding of this conference further consolidated the foundation for collaborative innovation in the Sichuan-Chongqing manufacturing industry and deepened the consensus on the digital transformation of the industry.
In the future, relying on this exchange opportunity, manufacturing companies and university scientific research institutions in Sichuan and Chongqing will continue to deepen industry-university-research cooperation, promote the implementation and transformation of cutting-edge intelligent manufacturing technologies, work together to solve industrial transformation problems, continue to promote intelligent, green, and high-end upgrading of the manufacturing industry, and inject lasting power into the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry in the Sichuan-Chongqing economic circle and the improvement of the quality and efficiency of the national intelligent manufacturing industry.
