Yantai Wanshun New Materials has successfully been recognized as a basic-level smart factory.

Recently, the Yantai Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology in Shandong Province officially issued the “Notice on the Announcement of the 2026 List of Municipal-Level (Basic-Level) Smart Factories in Yantai City.” Relying on its well‑established intelligent manufacturing system and solid achievements in digital transformation, Yantai Wanshun New Materials Co., Ltd. successfully passed the evaluation and was recognized as a basic‑level smart factory.

This honor represents the industry’s authoritative recognition of the company’s intelligent manufacturing capabilities and the effectiveness of its digital transformation, marking a new milestone in the company’s efforts to advance production automation, management informatization, and systematic data integration. It also signifies the company’s official entry into the standardized track of the intelligent manufacturing tiered cultivation framework, thereby laying a robust digital foundation for high‑quality enterprise development.

The company has consistently placed technological innovation at the core of its growth, firmly aligning with the development strategy of “digital empowerment and intelligent manufacturing upgrades.” In strict accordance with the national requirements outlined in the “Criteria for Tiered Cultivation of Smart Factories,” it is systematically advancing the construction of smart factories.

Status of the Company’s Intelligentization Efforts

01/An intelligent control center has been established for the entire plant, enabling real-time intelligent control and smart scheduling.

An intelligent manufacturing control center has been established, integrating multiple systems and consolidating foundational data to create an intelligent management dashboard. By leveraging 5G and edge computing to optimize equipment collaboration, it achieves cost reduction and efficiency gains, thereby enhancing core competitiveness.

02/Key processes at the production site have been automated with intelligent operations.

We have completed the intelligent transformation of key processes, built a fully automated, integrated logistics and warehousing production line, and introduced an online monitoring and control system. By integrating smart production management and an AGV-based logistics system, we have enhanced efficiency while reducing energy consumption and resource usage.

03/Implementation of automated production in the manufacturing process

Equipped with automated storage and transportation facilities, the facility employs a DCS system for remote monitoring of critical equipment; it integrates AI algorithms to build an energy-efficiency optimization system, enhances intelligent management and control of “three wastes,” and deploys a LIMS system to enable automated collection and analysis of R&D and testing data.

This recognition as a basic‑level smart factory not only affirms the company’s past achievements in digital transformation but also marks a new starting point on its journey toward higher‑tier smart factories. Under the national tiered cultivation system for intelligent manufacturing, a basic‑level smart factory represents a key milestone in an enterprise’s digital transformation and serves as an essential prerequisite for advancing to advanced, excellent, and leading‑level smart factories.

Looking ahead, the company will seize this opportunity to continuously increase its investment in intelligent manufacturing, deepen the seamless integration of next-generation information technologies with production and operations, steadily refine its smart‑factory development framework, and progressively enhance the maturity of its intelligent manufacturing capabilities, thereby advancing toward the goal of building higher‑grade smart factories.
