Recently, Chongqing HKC Jinyu Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of HKC, has clinched two prestigious national-level honors from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) — the "Excellence-Level Smart Factory" and the "5G Factory." It has become one of the cutting-edge display panel factories in the industry to receive such dual national certifications. This milestone achievement signifies that HKC Jinyu Factory has transcended the initial stage of point-based automation and fully realized intelligent upgrades across the entire chain, from research and development (R&D) and design, production and manufacturing, quality management, to logistics and warehousing. It has emerged as a benchmark model amid the wave of industrial modernization transformation.
As a leading enterprise in the semiconductor display sector, HKC relies on integrated hardware and software solutions to build a domestically leading smart factory for liquid crystal panels. By introducing globally top-tier digital production equipment and deploying an information management system, it has established a comprehensive and highly collaborative intelligent manufacturing infrastructure.
Meanwhile, leveraging big data and cloud computing technologies, HKC has integrated a unified application management platform, implementing 14 major business scenarios, including 5G + industrial high-definition visual quality inspection, 5G + digital twin, and 5G + equipment operation and maintenance management. This has fostered an innovative demonstration-type smart factory, comprehensively strengthening digital governance capabilities in core areas such as operational decision-making, quality control, and equipment management.
To further promote the deep integration of digitalization and industrialization and achieve intelligent and flexible production and operations, HKC has strengthened its intelligent manufacturing capabilities through three key practices.
Fine Management through Digital Twins
A digital twin system for production lines has been constructed based on an industrial 5G network, integrating 3D visualization, real-time monitoring, and process simulation technologies. This enables a "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" synchronization of equipment dynamics and production status data, breaking down data silos related to equipment, quality, and output. It provides real-time data support for production optimization decisions.
Efficient Collaboration on Flexible Production Lines
Relying on a 5G flexible production line solution, flexible combinations of production units and process control have been achieved. Edge nodes are equipped with functions such as data collection, model training, cloud interaction, and decision distribution, supporting concurrent access for hundreds of devices and millisecond-level responses. Combined with deep collaboration with warehousing, quality, and other management systems, a digital closed-loop management system for the entire production process has been realized.
In-Depth Defense for Security Assurance
An internal network security level protection framework has been established, constructing a closed-loop security system of "protection - detection - auditing." While ensuring data center security, it combines 5G slicing technology with information security protection upgrades to achieve hierarchical isolation and transmission of production data. This proactively defends against known risks and promptly responds to unknown threats, ensuring the security of industrial control systems and stable business operations.
Through systematic construction, HKC has not only achieved a digital and intelligent leap across the entire production process but also explored advanced practices such as deep integration of IT and OT, cloud deployment, and mobile application development. These effectively support remote calls, resource sharing, and high-computing power demands, gradually forming a new intelligent manufacturing model characterized by centralized control and flexible response.
At a time when industrial intelligence has become the core direction of global manufacturing transformation, HKC will continue to leverage the demonstration and leading role of its "dual benchmark" factories. It will deepen the fusion and innovation of technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, and the industrial internet with the entire semiconductor display industry chain, striving to create a more competitive, greener, and more open smart industrial ecosystem. HKC is committed to contributing the "HKC strength" to the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry, continuously leading in global display technology competition, and pioneering the future with intelligence.
