Smart factories are the primary vehicle for intelligent manufacturing and the main battlefield for the digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of the manufacturing industry. In 2024, the General Offices of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the General Office of the State Administration for Market Regulation, and the Comprehensive Department of the National Data Administration jointly launched the tiered smart factory cultivation initiative, building a tiered smart factory cultivation system across four levels: foundational, advanced,卓越 (excellent), and leading.

21 XCMG units selected as advanced-level smart factories

In January 2025, XCMG Heavy Machinery's "Lean, Digital, and Collaborative Smart Factory for Wheeled Cranes" was selected for the first batch of national excellent-level smart factories announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Starting in May 2025, multiple provinces and municipalities across the country successively announced their 2025 lists of advanced-level smart factories, and 21 XCMG units were successfully selected as advanced-level smart factories in Jiangsu Province.

Let's take a look at the XCMG companies on the list...

The "leading goose + flock of geese" model activates the ecosystem for intelligent upgrading

A close look at the scope of XCMG's selections this time reveals impressive industrial depth and breadth of the chain: 21 factories, like brilliant stars, precisely cover core fields such as lifting machinery, road machinery, excavation machinery, mining machinery, port machinery, and the components industry—this is not only a report card of "intelligent manufacturing capability," but also confirms the strong cluster advantages of building a world-class advanced manufacturing industry cluster.

Driven by the leading engine, the intelligent ecosystem thrives together. As a core driving force of the industry, XCMG is using its own intelligent practices as a fulcrum to leverage an overall leap in the industrial chain. By exporting mature standards, sharing technology platforms, and deepening collaborative innovation, XCMG has built a new intelligent ecosystem of "leading enterprises + ecosystem partners," driving upstream and downstream partners to jointly enter the fast lane of intelligent upgrading and injecting strong momentum into building a "manufacturing powerhouse."
