A few days ago, Wuzhou City held the 2025 Top ten industrial projects promotion meeting and the first quarter of major projects concentrated opening and completion activities, quickly set off a project construction boom. Among them, the newly started Hony Metal new material deep processing products industrial base project will adopt advanced production technology and green manufacturing technology, fully use highly automated and intelligent equipment, use artificial intelligence and big data for equipment control and operation and maintenance, and create a benchmarking modern black light factory and intelligent manufacturing workshop. The launch of the project is a vivid footnote of the city's in-depth promotion of artificial intelligence applications in the industrial field and the acceleration of intelligent transformation, and also indicates that Wuzhou has taken another solid step on the road of intelligent manufacturing.

Black light factory, also known as smart factory, refers to the use of digital and intelligent means, from raw materials to final products, all processing, transportation, testing processes are completed in an empty workshop, mainly by intelligent robots or automation equipment in accordance with the instructions of the software system automatically completed. Its operation relies on intelligent manufacturing and collaborative system to achieve full digital tracking, with intelligent warehousing, intelligent workshop, intelligent quality control and other functions, with the advantages of improving production efficiency, ensuring stable product quality and reducing labor costs.

In recent years, our city has actively responded to the development trend of The Times, fully embraced artificial intelligence, vigorously promoted the "artificial intelligence +" innovation application scenario, promoted the intelligent transformation of the industrial field, promoted the intelligent ability of pillar industries, accelerated the application of artificial intelligence and innovation, and built new advantages and cultivated new momentum for the high-quality development of Wuzhou.

Into the intelligent production base of Guangxi Jianyi Ceramics Co., LTD., where the machine roar, intelligent production equipment is running efficiently, semi-finished products in the automatic assembly line through cutting, feeding, polishing and polishing processes, processing speed is extremely fast.

High-quality development is inseparable from the support of science and technology. The intelligent production base not only sets up a big data center, designs and uses more advanced intelligent equipment in the industry to create a digital and intelligent production system, but also establishes an industry-leading AGV unmanned intelligent storage center to achieve real-time flow and tracking of one-click management of product, material and vehicle logistics information. The central control room monitors production information, tracks production progress, and collects data such as quality excellence rates in real time.

Number of wisdom to empower, innovation blessing. In recent years, with the Mona Lisa, Ou Shenuo, Hongyu Group, Ganyi, Cooperation and other well-known enterprises in Guangdong settled, and established the industry intelligent, green leading modern production base, for the city's construction ceramics industry high-quality development has injected new impetus. It is understood that in 2024, the annual production capacity of ceramic tiles in Teng County is 422 million square meters, and the capacity scale has jumped to the fifth place in the country's county producing areas.

Such intelligent application scenarios are presented brilliantly in the industrial economy field of Wuzhou every day.

In the Jinhai stainless steel production workshop, the automation equipment runs in an orderly manner, and the workers can hardly be seen in the large production workshop. Outside the workshop, technicians are monitoring the production process in real time through the digital intelligence centralized control center. Here, production management links such as quality control, equipment testing and product distribution have been visualized throughout the process.

In recent years, with a number of transformation and upgrading projects such as 1050mm stainless steel full continuous rolling green production line, 1.2 million tons of stainless steel solid solution strip black leather rolling green production line, digital control integrated intelligent system have been completed and put into operation, Jinhai Stainless Steel has reached a new level in equipment upgrading and production digitalization and intelligent transformation. It also allows enterprises to build "10 billion smart factory" goal from the ideal gradually into reality.

As the leading enterprises in our city, Ganyi and Jinhai also provide demonstration samples for other small and medium-sized enterprises. "We take 19 leading enterprises in key industries such as high-end metal new materials, construction new materials, and food and medicine in the resource recycling industry as the demonstration drive, and strive to create leading enterprises in various fields of intelligent transformation and transformation, and try to take the lead of backbone enterprises to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry." The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology said that in recent years, the industry and information technology department closely focused on the goal of "re-creating an industrial Wuzhou", anchored the strong industrial ideas unwavered, and took multiple measures to promote the digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises, steadily promoted the high-quality development of industry, and accelerated the upgrading of the intelligent enabling industry, laying a solid foundation for the deep integration of artificial intelligence and manufacturing.

In addition, the city's enterprises also focus on the development of intelligent terminal products manufacturing, such as the smart speaker produced by Guoguang Technology company, through the Baidu artificial intelligence voice operating system, to achieve command artificial dialogue, education and learning, listening to music, basic conversation and other functions, and through the Internet of things, to achieve intelligent switching doors and Windows, monitoring, home appliance remote control and other life scene applications. Realized Wuzhou artificial intelligence terminal product production "from 0 to 1" leap. Next, the company will also tap into DeepSeek large model applications.

Wuzhou's digital intelligent innovation is not limited to the workshop

The municipal government affairs service intelligent assistant "Wuzhitong" was officially launched, and the municipal government affairs service platform successfully accessed large models such as DeepSeek, marking the city's government affairs services to be more efficient, accurate and intelligent upgrade, and more efficient to assist enterprises and the masses to quickly complete business processing;

Guangxi Xihui Tiancheng Technology Co., Ltd. introduced AI intelligent quality inspection machine, doubled the sorting efficiency of Mosan diamond, and the traditional artificial gem industry developed to high-end and green;

A number of hospitals in our city announced the completion of the localized deployment of DeepSeek artificial intelligence system, further improving the quality and efficiency of medical services, and accelerating the speed, quality and efficiency of smart medical care in our city;

...

At present, our city has formed a two-wheel drive "artificial intelligence +" development pattern of "intelligent manufacturing capability + scene application". By the end of 2024, the city has been recognized by the autonomous region industry and information technology Department of intelligent manufacturing benchmarking enterprises 2, smart factory demonstration enterprises 16, digital workshop enterprises 14. The digital industrial scene construction scheme of 3 ceramic enterprises, such as Mona Lisa, Hongsheng, and Lianjin, is listed in the national excellent scene case, and the digital industrial scene construction scheme of 13 enterprises of different industrial types, such as Jinhai Stainless Steel, is listed in the excellent case of digital transformation of Guangxi Industrial Internet enabling enterprises. Jinhai Stainless Steel and Hongsheng Ceramics have respectively obtained the national digital transformation star evaluation certification.
