Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology publicly announced the list of Excellence-Level Smart Factories (First Batch) projects, and Sunward was successfully selected for its "High-End Engineering Equipment Product Full Lifecycle Collaborative Smart Factory" project.

It is reported that the Excellence-Level Smart Factory is a smart factory recognized by six departments—the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with the National Development and Reform Commission, the 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—as having reached the domestic leading level, playing an industry-leading and demonstrative role.

Sunward has always attached importance to digital and intelligent transformation, building a unified digital platform. Based on its own development needs and the advantages brought by 5G technology, through approaches such as cloud-network convergence technology development and SaaS-ification of traditional software, and taking application scenarios as the entry point, it has built a smart manufacturing factory spanning key links including factory construction, product design, planning and scheduling, production operations, quality control, equipment management, safety control, energy management, marketing and after-sales, supply chain management, and information infrastructure, effectively solving problems such as generally low production efficiency and long production cycles under the multi-variety, small-batch production mode.

The technical architecture and implementation model of the smart factory are highly replicable and promotable, providing a feasible path for advancing the high-end, intelligent, green, and integrated development of the manufacturing industry. Through servitization extension, it empowers more small and medium-sized enterprises upstream and downstream of the industrial chain in their intelligent transformation and digital upgrading. In the future, Sunward will continue to advance digital and intelligent upgrading and lead the development of the industry.
