Digital Intelligence Technologies Leading Shipbuilding Innovation — Shaping New Productive Forces in the Marine Industry
At this expo, HGTECH showcased its complete solutions and implementation cases in the shipbuilding sector, attracting the attention of numerous professionals. As a leading provider of intelligent manufacturing systems in China, HGTECH directly addresses key pain points in shipbuilding through independently developed smart equipment such as high-end laser cutting machines, laser cleaning devices, full-line marking systems, and laser hybrid welding machines. It also presented intelligent manufacturing lines like the flexible smart material preparation line and flexible intelligent welding line, along with digital products like vision-based sorting and digital twin systems.
End-to-End Digital Management Empowering the Digital Transformation of Shipbuilding Enterprises
During the expo, HGTECH was invited to attend the Shipbuilding Industry Digital Transformation Forum and delivered a keynote speech titled “Construction Ideas and Practices of Smart Shipyards,” sharing insights on the latest technologies and achievements in digital transformation.
The presentation deeply analyzed pain points in key processes such as cutting, welding, coating, and outfitting in the shipbuilding industry. Based on HGTECH's rich experience and innovative practices in intelligent equipment, automated production lines, and smart factory construction, the company provides a comprehensive smart manufacturing solution centered on proprietary equipment and software — covering everything from raw material yards and preprocessing to cutting, sorting, small/mid/large component welding, and in-factory logistics.
Currently, HGTECH has developed three core self-owned products — “ZhuVision” Visual Sorting System, “ZhuLong” Manufacturing Operation Management Platform, and “ZhuMeng” Digital Twin Platform — to help shipbuilding companies build a full-process digital control system. This system enables end-to-end collaborative operations, allowing shipyards to sense, think, decide, and execute like a human, continuously injecting vitality into high-quality enterprise development.
