After the Dragon Boat Festival, when the first ray of morning sunlight pierced through the sky above the World Antimony Capital at the scheduled time, Lengshuijiang Tianbao Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Tianbao Industry") was already bustling with an orderly production scene. Inside the packaging workshop, machines roared as automatic packaging machines worked accurately and efficiently, neatly stacking the packaged fasteners onto pallets, which were then slowly transported to the finished goods warehouse for scanning and storage by forklifts. This is the new vitality that Tianbao Industry has unleashed after riding the spring breeze of the "Intelligence Empowerment for All Enterprises" initiative and undergoing digital transformation and upgrading. "Now, each shift can automatically package 75 tons of bolts and nuts fasteners. The automatic packaging machine not only makes the exterior of the boxes neat and the labels uniform and standardized with clear fonts, but also assigns a traceable QR code to each product. Customers need only scan it to obtain complete product information such as specifications, pitch, and batch number," said Section Chief Duan Zhengying, looking at the efficiently operating machines with pride. Since the implementation of intelligent transformation, packaging efficiency has more than doubled. And this is just one of the many changes brought about by Tianbao Industry's digital transformation. At the workshop site, a worker remarked emotionally: "In the past, before the intelligent transformation upgrade, multiple steps in the packaging process had to be completed manually. By the end of the day, we couldn't straighten our backs. Now, it's great. We just need to input commands, and the automatic packaging machine can precisely complete the entire process. Our labor intensity has significantly decreased, while work efficiency has greatly improved." Inside the office building, Deputy Director Chen Lifang of the General Office was busy handling affairs. She explained: "In the past, the self-built E-commerce platform for Fasteners, WMS warehouse management system, Yonyou Finance ERP Changan T+ series, and OA DingTalk office system did not achieve system integration, resulting in lagging data transmission and causing slow supply chain response and low search efficiency. In 2024, the company actively responded to the 'Intelligence Empowerment for All Enterprises' initiative and successfully became a pilot enterprise for the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises in Loudi City. Under the guidance of the industrial and information technology department, after careful design by a professional network company, we integrated the aforementioned platforms (systems), achieving data sharing and unblocking the key channels for the company's digital transformation." In the company's control room, Zeng Zhendong, responsible for system platform operations, enthusiastically introduced the consolidated digital information system interface while skillfully displaying it: "The system we use now covers more than ten functional modules including process design and processing, sales, procurement, warehousing, logistics, and finance, spanning all aspects of production, operation, and management. The various problems that existed in network operations in the past have now been resolved."
In the corporate exhibition hall, various historical materials about enterprise development are displayed, telling the arduous journey of enterprise development to the guests who come to visit, and also showcasing the brilliant achievements made during the company's development. Liu Zewen, director of the General Office of the company, shared with the reporter the significant results achieved after the company's digital upgrade: "After the new integrated information platform was put into operation, it brought about earth-shaking changes. All data related to production, sales, and warehousing have achieved 100% real-time collection, with data accuracy reaching over 99.5%. The efficiency of warehouse location allocation, picking, return picking exception handling has increased by 30%, and the efficiency of purchase order verification and warehousing workflow has improved by 50%. The overall production efficiency of the company has increased by 30%, and it can reduce various costs by more than 800,000 yuan per year. Behind these numbers are the tangible benefits brought about by the company's digital transformation." Since its establishment in 2006, after nearly 20 years of hard work, Tianbao Industry has become a professional fastener manufacturer integrating production, R&D, and sales, and is currently the largest domestic manufacturer of high-strength fasteners rated at 8.8 and above. It has been recognized as a national high-tech enterprise, a national green factory model enterprise, and a national specialized, refined, unique, and innovative 'little giant' enterprise. Its products, known for their excellent quality, are widely used in mining, construction, metallurgy, shipping, petrochemicals, rail transportation, military industries, and other fields, establishing a good reputation in the market. "Digital transformation, networked collaboration, intelligent upgrading, standardized management, and brand creation are the development strategies that our company has always adhered to," said a relevant person in charge of the company when talking about future development plans. "We will further consolidate and enhance our leading position in the fastener industry, continue to deepen digital transformation in all aspects, and continuously inject strong momentum for the high-quality development of the enterprise, writing new chapters on the new journey." In the wave of digitalization, Tianbao Industry is moving forward steadily, setting an example for digital transformation in the fastener industry.
