Hengtong was selected as one of the first batch of "Excellent Smart Factories" by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology

On January 9th, the first batch of outstanding intelligent factory list organized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology was published, and Hengtong Optlectronics was successfully selected for the list with its outstanding intelligent manufacturing level and significant transformation and upgrading results.

Excellent intelligent manufacturing enterprises are intelligent manufacturing plants recognized by six departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Finance, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the State Administration for Market Regulation, and the National Data Administration, to have leading levels. It is required that the maturity model of intelligent manufacturing reaches level 3 or above, and the comprehensive intelligence is realized in five aspects: plant construction, R&D design production operation, production management, and operation management. The gradient cultivation standard of intelligent manufacturing will play a very important role and industry influence in the subsequent construction and capability evaluation of intelligent plants in China.

Hengtong Photoelectric has built a digital factory based on full-optical network AI by introducing advanced 5G, F5G, Internet, artificial intelligence and other technologies, which has realized the automation, intelligence and efficiency of the production process. The project has a total of 10 digital application scenarios, including construction of 3D digital twin factory, F5G 5GA fixed mobile integrated industrial network application, discrete process digital design, intelligent vision online detection, etc. The implementation of these application scenarios has achieved a numerical control rate of key equipment of 100%, a network rate of key equipment of 100%, and significant reduction in carbon emissions per unit of output value, enabling the enterprise to achieve significant improvements in production efficiency, product quality, and resource utilization.

Hengtong has actively promoted digital transformation, explored a new path to achieve high-quality development relying on independent research and development innovation, promoted the digital transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry. It has successively built the first batch of national intelligent demonstration factories, national dual-cross industrial Internet platforms, national industrial design centers and national 5G factories. In December 2023, Hengtong Optical Fiber and Optical Bar Smart Manufacturing Factory was successfully selected as the firstLighthouse Factory" in the global optical communication industry, representing the highest level of global intelligent manufacturing and digitalization. From "Smart Factory" to "Lighthouse Factory" Hengtong's digital transformation has accumulated small steps into significant achievements and has been committed to the long-term goal. Since the start of the construction of the "threetransform" factory, which refers to the intelligentization of the factory, the lean manufacturing, and the informatization of management, Hengtong has fully created an advanced mode intelligent manufacturing with personalized customization, networked collaboration, flexible production, and visualized supervision. It has upgraded intelligent manufacturing with digitalization and integrated technological innovation with intelligence, leading the to continuously innovate and break through in the era of the digital economy and achieving sustainable and high-quality development.

Manufacturing is the foundation of a country and the cornerstone of a strong nation. The selection of this "Excellent Smart Factory" means thatengtong is at the forefront of the industry in adopting new technologies on a large scale under the backdrop of promoting the construction of a new industrialization with "Digital-Physical, Intelligent Transformation, and Network Connection". The digital application solution of the factory has extremely high replicability and can be rapidly promoted to upstream and downstream supply chain and chain enterprises in addition to the full deployment of Hengtong Optical Cable's entire industry chain. It provides feasible paths for promoting the high-end, intelligent, green and integrated development of manufacturing industry and contributes more private enterprise strength to the construction of a strong manufacturing country, a digital China, and a science and technology strong country.
