At present, the automatic air conditioning production line of Guangzhou Hualing Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd., the air conditioning production base of Midea Group, produces 190 air conditioners per hour, requiring only 19 workers, and the per capita output efficiency is several times higher than the traditional production line. This is the highlight of "lighthouse factory", and also a microcosm of Guangdong's manufacturing industry's continuous climb to the peak. The world-class advanced factory, the national leading industrial design capability, and the continuously optimized industrial structure all together constitute the latest practice of Guangdong to become a "top student" in manufacturing industry in promoting high-quality development. The new "world factory" first-class products need first-class factory manufacturing. Guangzhou Hualing Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd. was selected as "Lighthouse Factory" in 2020. Sun Huihai, director of the intelligent logistics department of the company, said: "After continuous intelligent and digital construction, the injection molding production and final assembly area of the factory has achieved unmanned production. From 2018 to 2022, the production scale has increased by 55%, the operating cost has decreased by 21%, and the production efficiency has increased by 23%." With the in-depth application of advanced technologies such as the industrial Internet in production, the production efficiency of the manufacturing industry in Guangdong, the "World Factory", has been constantly breaking through. In Shenzhen Glory Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park, 75% of the processes are completed by automation equipment on the assembly line of the park from the loading of materials to the offline of mobile phone products. The production line achieves 100% CNC rate of key equipment and 95% networking rate of key equipment. Shenzhen, the leading demonstration zone of socialism with Chinese characteristics with 13000 above-scale industrial enterprises, plans to promote the digital transformation of all above-scale industrial enterprises in the city by 2025. Yu Xiquan, director of Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, said that Shenzhen's manufacturing industry must continue to cultivate new drivers through digital transformation to ensure that it can seize opportunities and shape advantages in the new round of urban competition. In recent years, Guangdong has moved to the forefront of manufacturing industry by continuously promoting intelligent and digital transformation. Among the "lighthouse factories" selected by the World Economic Forum, which are known as the most advanced factories in the world, the "lighthouse factories" owned by enterprises in Guangdong Province and Guangdong Province account for more than one quarter of the country. Among the smart manufacturing demonstration plants released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the number of Guangdong demonstration plants also ranks among the top in the country. In the view of many entrepreneurs, the connotation of Guangdong's "world factory" is not only a world processing factory, but also a "world-class factory" in the new era. The world-class design award in Xiaoxian City was held in Xinxing County, Yunfu City, Guangdong Province. The Yishu large tableware set of Lingfeng Group won the German iF design award again. Kuang Naiqiang, vice president of Guangdong Lingfeng Group, said that up to now, Lingfeng Group has won more than 10 of the world's top three industrial design awards, including Red Dot, iF and IDEA. Industrial design integrates science, technology, culture and art, and is an important part of the core competitiveness of manufacturing industry. Ye Canxiong, chairman of Lingfeng Group, told reporters that Lingfeng Group produces more than 30 million stainless steel kitchenware such as pressure cookers and pans every year, and can sell more than 300000 pressure cookers in the Western European market alone. "It can be said that our stainless steel kitchenware is not afraid of any competitors in the European and American markets."
