With the country’s efforts to promote the intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry, exciting news came in June 2026: The acceptance results of the national intelligent manufacturing demonstration factory were released. Qingdao Senqilin Tire Co., Ltd. relied on its “high-end tire full-process digital collaborative smart factory” to successfully pass the strict national acceptance and was simultaneously rated as the national “Excellent Smart Factory”.
The achievement of this honor not only highlights Sentury’s hard-core intelligent manufacturing capabilities in the tire industry, but is also a strong confirmation of the accelerated intelligent transformation of the local manufacturing industry.
This national acceptance standard is extremely stringent, involving comprehensive evaluation in multiple dimensions such as intelligent production and supply chain collaboration.
As an industry benchmark, Senkylin has embarked on a unique intelligent development path with full-process digital collaboration as its core.
The company’s independently developed “Senqilin Intelligent Management System” can be said to be a key tool for its intelligent transformation.
Through this system, 12 business systems including ERP, MES, and WMS were successfully connected, completely breaking the information silos and building a full-link digital architecture that runs through R&D, production, logistics, and services.
Today, the factory’s key process numerical control rate and equipment networking rate have both reached 100%, pushing traditional tire manufacturing to a new stage of highly intelligent manufacturing.
From the procurement of raw materials to the production and molding of tires to the distribution and sales of products, every link has achieved precise and efficient digital management.
It is worth mentioning that FAW passed the acceptance inspection at the same time as Sentury –
Volkswagen Qingdao Branch.
Relying on data-driven production process reengineering, the company has built five major innovation centers including smart logistics and smart manufacturing, forming an industry-leading smart production system.
These two leading enterprises in Jimo District’s pillar industries of automobiles and tires successfully passed customs, becoming a vivid epitome of the region’s promotion of intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry.
In recent years, the Jimo District Bureau of Industry and Information Technology has regarded intelligent manufacturing as the core focus of new industrialization.
By relying on the leading role of leading enterprises, an industrial ecology of “leading leadership and chain collaboration” has been built.
Companies such as Sen Qilin have successfully passed the acceptance inspection and will further exert a benchmarking and demonstration effect.
Surrounding traditional manufacturing companies can learn from the successful experiences of Sentury and FAW-Volkswagen Qingdao Branch to accelerate their own intelligent upgrades.
This will not only help improve the company’s production efficiency and product quality, but also enhance the company’s competitiveness in the market and continue to empower the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry in the entire region.
It is foreseeable that under the leadership of these leading enterprises, the manufacturing industry in Jimo District will usher in a more brilliant future and contribute more experience and strength to the intelligent transformation of China’s manufacturing industry.
