As China’s demographic dividend weakens and Industry 4.0 gains momentum, Chinese manufacturing has entered an era of efficiency enhancement through automation. In 2018, the Powder Metallurgy Plant, based on the unique processing characteristics of its products, took the lead within HAGG by proposing a plan to replace manual operations with robotic arms—and promptly began organizing and implementing the initiative. By 2019, the project was successfully put into practice, laying a solid theoretical and practical foundation for the plant’s future deployment of smart manufacturing. This initiative also positioned the Powder Metallurgy Plant as a pioneer in HAGG’s journey toward intelligent manufacturing.

To better promote and facilitate communication, the four branch unions—Powder Metallurgy Plant, Gear Plant, High-Power Plant, and Heat Treatment Plant—jointly organized a special seminar on "Smart Manufacturing."

On the afternoon of May 17, 2019, in the conference room of the Powder Metallurgy Plant Area, technical leaders and young talents from various positions across four branch unions gathered together. They engaged in casual yet insightful exchanges and discussions, focusing on a new topic—“Smart Manufacturing Seminar”—which sparked an exceptionally lively and interactive atmosphere on-site.

During the event, Zhang Guohong, Deputy Director of Powder Metallurgy Technology, introduced to everyone the background, original intentions, and current status of intelligent manufacturing in powder metallurgy. He also shared the challenges and highlights encountered throughout the project. He encouraged the young professionals and technical leaders present to study diligently, closely integrating their insights, ideas, and newly acquired knowledge with the practical work at the branch factory, thereby contributing to HAGG's journey toward intelligent manufacturing.

Finally, everyone visited the production site for an on-the-spot tour, where they witnessed firsthand the working principle and the entire operational process of how the automated robotic arm at the powder metallurgy press shapes the grooves. Back at the production facility, Zhou Pingxia, the chairperson of the union, provided a detailed introduction to the manufacturing process of friction pads. Meanwhile, Yu Hongfei, the project leader, patiently answered all the participants' questions one by one. Everyone also shared several valuable suggestions regarding this highly flexible and safe robotic arm.

The nearly two-hour seminar concluded swiftly, and the visit along with the lively discussions helped everyone spark new ideas and broaden their perspectives—leaving everyone feeling that the trip was well worth it!
