Industrial production in Kunshan city, Jiangsu province, got off to a flying start in the Chinese New Year as the city has introduced Coca-Cola, Goodyear and some other internationally renowned projects with a total investment of more than 7 billion yuan and launched seven new energy automobile industry projects with a planned investment of more than 5 billion yuan.
In a car harness manufacturing enterprise in Kunshan, various intelligent devices were see shuttling back and forth to speed up production.
In the past few years, the enterprise has invested more than 100 million yuan every year to carry out intelligent transformation, and has become a provincial demonstration intelligent workshop at one stroke.
With the support of these "smart brains", the wire harness produced by the enterprise is far higher than that of its peers in terms of transmission efficiency, service life and other aspects, and has achieved "zero defect, zero complaint and zero claim", thus ushering in leapfrog development by reporting sales revenue of 1.5 billion yuan, 2.4 billion yuan and 3 billion yuan in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
The courage to embrace intelligence and willing to invest heavily is an important reason for enterprise growth. In Cheng Sanrong's view, in addition to his own efforts, the full support of government departments is also particularly inseparable.
