Taicang's manufacturing sector continues to unleash its growth potential as numerous manufacturers rush to propel modern industrial development.

High-tech and equipment manufacturers in the city, which is located in Jiangsu's Suzhou, are actively embracing digital reconstruction and intelligent transformation.

An exemplar in this transformation is Huber & Ranner Environmental Equipment (Taicang) Co Ltd, the Asia-Pacific headquarters of Germany's Huber & Ranner Group. The company's air treatment equipment finds extensive applications across various industries, including pharmaceuticals, electronics, semiconductors, and automotive painting lines.

Demonstrating its commitment to intelligent transformation, the company places a strong emphasis on automated bending equipment.

Sheet metal bending is a foundational step in equipment manufacturing. Through the integration of automated machinery, the company achieves efficiency rates three to four times greater than traditional methods and ensures precise bending accuracy down to the millimeter.

The company has also independently developed a lean management system, connecting every link from design, technology, production, to shipping. This act has reduced production energy consumption by more than 15 percent.

Jiangsu Huaray Technology Co Ltd, located in the city's aviation new materials innovation park, is yet another company at the forefront of modern industrial advancements through digital and intelligent development

Last year, utilizing integrated casting technology underpinned by computerized analysis, the company managed to reach the mass production and delivery stages of titanium-aluminum alloy low-pressure turbine blades

Compared to alternative methods such as forging, machining, or 3D printing, this approach offers distinct advantages in terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

This cutting-edge technology has contributed to reducing the weight of aircraft engines and promoted China's high-end manufacturing sectors, including aerospace.
