Two Haimen enterprises selected for MIIT's 2026 Excellence-Level Smart Factory public list

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the public list of 2026 Excellence-Level Smart Factory projects, and two enterprises in our district—Dangsheng Material Technology and Tongguang Electronic Cable—were selected, with the number of new additions ranking first in Nantong.

Jiangsu Dangsheng Material Technology Co., Ltd. has completed industrialization construction with investment exceeding 2 billion yuan, independently designed and took the lead in building an automated production line for lithium battery cathode materials in the industry, and has an annual production capacity of 50,000 tons of lithium battery cathode materials and 15,000 tons of precursors. It is one of the few composite manufacturing bases in China that simultaneously masters the production processes of cathodes and precursors.

The enterprise runs its core corporate philosophy of "intelligent leadership, green and low-carbon, excellent quality" through the entire process of factory planning and construction, closely aligns with the manufacturing powerhouse strategy and the "dual carbon" goals, and builds an intelligent system covering five major links: R&D and design, production operations, production management, operations management, and factory construction. Next, the enterprise will continue to deepen the integrated application of digital technologies, driven by data and empowered by intelligence, advance lean management and efficient operations, build a new quality productive forces system of "data-driven, model-led, intelligent decision-making," and steadily move toward the goal of a national pilot-level smart factory.

Jiangsu Tongguang Electronic Cable Co., Ltd. is a national-level manufacturing single champion and the only enterprise in China to achieve a full industrial chain layout of high-end cables for power, communications, and military use. The enterprise adheres to "data-driven production, intelligent empowerment for development," builds an integrated digital-intelligent operations platform, and, in combination with the production characteristics of communication cables and special optical cables, constructs the overall framework of a smart factory featuring "five-layer architecture, three major pillars, and five major links," relying on 5G private networks, AI large models, and digital twins to solidify the digital foundation.

The enterprise will use the industrial 5G fully connected factory as the network foundation and the vertical large model of the cable industry as the intelligent engine to build a digital twin factory covering product R&D and design, production and manufacturing execution, full-chain quality control, equipment operation and maintenance, and full product life cycle services, realize the transformation from manual decision-making to AI-driven decision-making, and create a benchmark for intelligent transformation and digital upgrading in China's electronic cable industry.

In recent years, our district has closely followed advantageous industrial chains such as new energy and optoelectronic cables, drawn on the mature experience of chain-based cultivation and scenario empowerment from advanced regions, and built a tiered cultivation system from the basic level and advanced level to the excellence level; regularly organized experts to enter enterprises for diagnosis, guided enterprises to build full-process digital-intelligent benchmarks based on their own tracks, and promoted the deep embedding of industrial software, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence technologies into all links of R&D, production, warehousing, and quality control; leveraged the demonstration effect of benchmark enterprises to promote upstream and downstream supporting enterprises to simultaneously implement intelligent transformation and digital upgrading, continuously consolidate the foundation of new industrialization, and accelerate the cultivation and development of new quality productive forces through intelligent manufacturing.
