From Tradition to Intelligence: The Digital Transformation Path of Changsha Jinlong Foundry

In recent years, with the global manufacturing industry moving towards intelligence and digitization, many traditional manufacturing enterprises are also actively seeking transformation and upgrading. As one of the leading enterprises in China's foundry industry, Changsha Jinlong Foundry Industry Co., Ltd. is transforming from traditional casting to intelligent production by introducing advanced intelligent manufacturing technology and equipment.
Changsha Jinlong Foundry, founded in the 1980s, initially focused on producing traditional cast iron parts, with products widely used in fields such as construction, piping, and mechanical manufacturing. However, against the backdrop of increasingly fierce market competition and rising environmental requirements, the company's management has realized that relying solely on traditional craftsmanship is no longer sufficient to meet future development needs. To this end, Changsha Jinlong Foundry has developed a clear intelligent transformation strategy, including the introduction of automated production lines, the establishment of a digital factory management system, and the strengthening of employee skills training.
In terms of hardware, Changsha Jinlong Foundry has invested in purchasing multiple advanced automated casting production lines, which not only significantly improve production efficiency but also effectively reduce energy consumption and pollution emissions. At the same time, the company also collaborates with several well-known domestic and foreign technology suppliers to jointly develop customized solutions suitable for the foundry industry.
At the software level, Changsha Jinlong Foundry has introduced a factory management system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data analysis, which enables real-time monitoring and optimization of the entire production process. Through this system, managers can keep track of equipment operation status, raw material inventory, and product quality data at any time, making more scientific and reasonable decisions.
In addition, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the transformation, Changsha Jinlong Foundry attaches great importance to talent team building, regularly organizes employees to participate in various professional and technical training, and cooperates with universities and research institutions to cultivate more professional talents with modern manufacturing skills.
At present, Changsha Jinlong Foundry's intelligent transformation has achieved significant results, with greatly improved production efficiency and product quality, and has also won recognition from more high-end customers. In the future, the company will continue to increase its R&D investment and strive to become a leading global provider of intelligent casting solutions.
